Who do you think is an INTP or has INTP qualities? Live or dead, real or imagined, current or historical; any figure you find to be relevant will do. Did you learn about them before or after you learned about Myers-Briggs? How has that affected how you perceive them?

What do you think about typing fictional characters? What is your process for typing others?

I know that there has been a lot of debate about the legitimacy of typing fictional characters, and so I won't attempt to claim that those that I identify with are, indeed, INTPs. I will, however, say that many of them illustrate strong INTP qualities. I'm also (Socionics) ILI so it is likely that I would identify with some INTJs.

I mainly look at how closely they embody Ti Ne Si Fe

I'm only sharing figures that I have already had the opportunity to explore in the past and the reason why I am posting this is to discover some new things to explore in the future. I would be especially appreciative of any female figures that an INTP might identify with or find entertaining.

L from Death Note.

Learned about him before MBTI.

It hasn't changed my perception of that character, when I first read the INTP descriptions and looked up a few characters that were referred to as INTPs, it was very fitting.

I usually type fictional characters based on behavioral stereotypes regarding certain combinations of letters or types in general. (Ex: SJs, FPs, TJs, etc.)

I'm not confident enough about my knowledge in functions, to use them as the basis of my attempts at typing fictional characters.

I'm disappointed that I didn't get more replies...

A year later, and only 1 reply. lol

I was hoping to find more media outlets to obsess over.

I think the character of Sheldon Cooper on Big Bang Theory is INTJ, not INTP. He is too disturbed by change to be INTP. But he is just a fictional character and is at the time who ever the writer make him out to be.
