Canada's Prime Ministers

[Pearson]

Since all of the US President MBTIs have been litigated to death, I decided on a whim to spend a truly embarrassing amount of time working out the MBTI types for Canada's Prime Ministers. Pearson, Clark, and Mulroney, I found most difficult to 'translate' their personalities into MBTI. Others were pretty straightforward. Enjoy!


Macdonald - ENTP
Mackenzie - ISTP
Abbott - INFP
Thompson - ESTJ
Bowell - ESFJ
Topper - ENTJ
Laurier - ENFJ
Borden - INTP
Meighen - ISTJ
King - INTJ
Bennett - ESTP
St. Laurent - ISFJ
Diefenbaker - ESTP
Pearson - ISFP
Pierre Trudeau - ENTP
Clark – INFP
Turner - ENTJ
Mulroney - ENTJ
Campbell - ENTP
Chrétien - ESTJ
Martin - ENFP
Harper - INTJ
Justin Trudeau - ESFP

Haha, that's awesome. How did you come up with types for the earlier ones?

Sorry for the slow response, I wasn't following this thread.

I'm a history nerd, so I've closely followed the lives and personalities of most of the PMs. I actually had to do more research on MBTI than the PMs.

Borden and Martin required the most research for me. I found Martin difficult to pin down as a person given all of the conflicting impressions that are written about him - but his MBTI score here is a gamely attempt at pigeon-holding him. I see a passionate man energized by big, complex issues - open to criticism of indecision, insincerity, and unable to delegate.
