"The Ubermensch is characterized by three traits in particular:
1. An antisocial attitude
2. Inhuman charisma
3. A plan or desire to make a better world."
Any guesses?
The Ubermensch seems to be a person with the combined strengths of an ENFJ and an INTJ, but with none of the weaknesses.
I suppose they could also be an insane INFJ who is very disillusioned with society, but still very good with people.
I would say INFJ.
You know, you're not the first person to say something like this. Where's Skylights and her Dune references?
To be honest, I feel like the one key ingredient I'd need is a badass dose of Fe...
I think this might even be Keirsey's interpretation of Obama (he think he's an INTJ).
Umm... like Jesus?
If you consider Zarathustra (from the book) the prototype for the Superman, I don't see how you could go with INFJ (at least exclusively)...
That character had to have beenan INTJ (likely 5w4).Jesus, however, was likely an INFJ, and, in my opinion, Nietzsche would probably consider him closer to the Ubermensch than almost any other historical figure...
Again, the poverty of typology rears it's tail for use and abuse in the ego syntonic quest for self-soothing and aggrandizement. Everyone's self-chosen 'type' is necessarily the best, so anyone you like becomes like you.
I'm going to say that the Ubermensch was a Leo, because, well, it's no less non-sensical than anything i've read here.
Have you ever read the book?
Please, tell me how Zarathustra could be an extrovert, and how all 16 types are equally likely...
Then also tell me how Zarathustra was not a certain picture that Nietzsche had of himself...
Then tell me that Nietzsche was not an INTJ 5w4...
If anyone is engaging in self-soothing and aggrandizement in this thread, it's you...
I'm sorry if you've been unable to figure out how to use typology wisely.
But there's no need to vomit your problem on everybody else.
I'm guessing you're an INFP...
Typology is no more telling about a person (or in this case, a fictional character) than is astrology. Both systems describe surface features only. Nothing about who a person actually is, what they believe, how they act or should act, whether they are ethical, fair, critical, fearful, bold, believe in justice or eugenics, etc. Nothing at all about the details. Nothing. Only uncritically accepted homilies, and the occasional criticism, to make it appear to be scientific…
Typology is fully open to interpretation because it is completely vague. The human ego needs validation, so chooses to find those it admires as similar to itself, as you did above. That you have decided to use this ‘logic’ to choose my type for me only reinforces my argument that you live in a world of stereotype, which are by definition, interpretations and not based in experience or reason.
Innately does having a leading cognitive role of F make one more doubtful of any typological or categorical approach to humanity-given the F functions can gather a huge amount of complex data on another person almost instinctively? Thus anything as simple at a category would seem insufficient and too simplistic to describe what is "seen".
But keep convincing yourself that it's the paramount perspective, so that every time you visit a typology forum at which you have over 1,400 posts, you can get your little fix of feeling superior to everybody, without really having to say or do anything intelligent at all.
Look in the mirror and say this over and over.
You haven't talked about Nietsche yet. Only typology.

Jesus, however, was likely an INFJ, and, in my opinion, Nietzsche would probably consider him closer to the Ubermensch than almost any other historical figure...
That is the essence, in my opinion, of what Nietzsche was talking about with the Last Man.
Have you ever read the book? [this question was to you, nebbykoo]

Oh, you're simulatedworld, back from the dead. Protecter of typology and head preist.
