Grigori Perelman, INFJ.
Also known currently as "the smartest man alive". He solved the famous Poincaré conjecture, more than a century old "Millennium" problem. This was a very hard problem in the area of topology - a highly
intuitive mathematical subject. So intuitive, that it had to be solved by an N-primary type.
Grigori Perelman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Because of moral reasons, he declined the prize of 1 Mln dollars, declined the Fields Medal (Nobel prize for math), and lives currently with his mom (he is 43) in her flat, from her pension. Such martyr-behaviour is typical for INFJs, and his photos from young and older ages show the physical features of growing male INFJs (compare with Gandhi and others):
INTP. This type is freaking out the most about somebody else getting in their head and controlling their thoughts (schizoid), that's why they don't get along with ENFPs (who seem determined to "read" everyone's insides, because they are so damn curious about people). So Orwell's model of the 'pigs' and the 'thought police' follows closely the ENFPs and their shadows ISTJs (who sometimes become community leaders, but in the eyes of INTPs that's irrational and cult-like - compare with Tom Cruise and Chuck Norris).
Jesus was an INTJ, he had a job doing and nothing got in his way. An NF most likely would have given up because of the amount of people who hated him.
Ghandi was also probably an INTJ, as he was a lot like Jesus- he stuck to his job consistantly and never gave up.
I think Gandhi was INFJ, and Jesus was ENFP (trained by INFJs in the far east, and came back to show off his tricks, and got killed). Both of them have strange occurencies of (almost) sexual intimacy with their followers - girls that slept with Gandhi (without him touching them), the prostitute that was close with Jesus etc. If they were NTs they would never do such things so publicly, and openly; and especially there's no way for them to be INTJs - because they would not allow their image to be lowered by such actions. INTJs are very careful about their status, and they make their perverse stuff completely hidden (whoever gets to know - gets erased, lol... okay, suppose I'm just kidding). So, no, there's no way for Jesus and Gandhi to be NTs.
It just seems strange
NOW that NFs
were capable of so well controlled and so difficult strategic operations; that they showed such a strength of character. But back then it was different. There was no Internet, so NTs couldn't just jump right in the beginning of an NF campaign and ruin it before it even got started. Now NFs are completely "debunked", so their hands are tied. We are trying to illustrate in this thread that actually, NFs had some extremely important contributions, including to science, and they should not be treated like some dangerous lunatics right from their birth (it's counter-productive).
Give NFs a chance! (mostly by leaving them alone and providing them with enough time) Their ST-side combined with their N can solve problems that are sometimes elusive for NTs. If the whole culture preaches that NFs are redundant burden for society, this causes our current NF's capabilities to be diminished and wasted.
