This video has some pretty sick nasty special effects from terraforming the Earth to spawning searing lightning bolts at will.
Why so many Tesla threads? He must be the NT darling of the MBTI world.
Wrong. He was ISTJ.
Nikolai Tesla was probably ISTP. I think ISTP's are much more likely to be a part of the contribulatory field of sciences, like particle physicists or aerospace engineers. I doubt the scope of their work pertains strictly to their choice of work being "just a job", though.
N types sit on the sidelines speculating.
Nah, Tesla was Ne.
Also, stereotypes about intuitives and sensors are not true. You wouldn't believe how many people you have met are actually intuitives who just look like sensors to you.
However, there is a thread about Tesla's type

N types sit on the sidelines speculating (which is profitable and worthwhile in itself, of course).
It's noteworthy that I was the one who started this funny thread on Tesla's type.
I was going to offer INTJ as an alternative (heh heh).
I really think people doubt the intellectual power of sensing, let alone it following a dom-thinking position.
Easy case for INTJ: visionary ahead of his time.
Easy case for ISTP: mechanic who made stuff work.
It is important to note just how suspect he was of visionary type thought. All of his predictions were completely grounded in reality, so far as to call Einstein and types like him metaphysicians.
He also dismissed concepts like second sight, reasoning his once "prophetic" dream of his mother dying as being a case of seeing an angel paining before bed combined with singing from a church down the road.
These are the kinds of things Jung was getting at when he coined the phrase intuition, and these are the kinds of things Tesla were pretty openly skeptical about.
