LOL. I'm thinking those against a particular candidate are refusing to allow a two-preference similarity between he and themselves.
"No way is McCain NT, he's an ass!"
The only other type I would consider reasonably possible for McCain is ISTP. He has all the typical introvert characteristics. That said, I still think INTP is much more appropriate. Your mileage obviously varies.I don't think he's an NT, because he just doesn't act like an NT. I think Rush Limbaugh is an ass, but I could totally believe that he's an NT (even an ENTP). On the other hand I have a fair amount of respect for McCain. I just think he's a respectable ESTP.
Because INTPs don't make mistakes?Did you watch the debate? He accused Obama of not knowing the difference between strategy and tactics, listed some things in which he considered himself the better strategist - and they were all tactical! ESTP.

His behavior "under stress" seems very INTP to me. Disagree?

And here, as far as I'm concerned, it's easy to tell he's contemplating things (in the style of an INTP), as opposed to trying to remember a list of buzzwords.

I'm going by type categorization, as in "He acts like INTPs act." It could in other words be described with functions, such as Ti-Ne. Few would argue that McCain is better than Obama at corraling the masses, which could be attributed to something such as Fe in Obama. But functions aren't directly observable.Well I definitely get the I vibe from him out of that video. I don't really know how to recognize T or N in isolation, and this clip is too short to get a really good overall feel for his personality, so that's the furthest I'll venture for him.

I'd guess McCain as ENTJ and Obama as ENTP.
ENTJ is the classic Presidential type, even George W Bush is an ENTJ (ENTJ doesn't mean you have to be clever!).

You surprise me with your bias, dyna.
McCain: INTP, less likely ISTP
Obama: ENFJ
Palin: ESFP
Biden: ENTP
