Alex Jones (SEE): Personality Type Analysis

Alexander Emric Jones (born 11 February 1974) is the owner of the Infowars platform and host of The Alex Jones Show which reports current events and provides news commentary with a conspiratorial bent. Alex states that he was introduced to the " New World Order" conspiracy as a youth, hearing adult relatives and friends of the family mentioning it and related topics, though he claims he initially dismissed much of what he heard at the time. He began his own forays into the subject after reading the book None Dare Call It Conspiracy by Gary Allen, and subsequently began consuming large amounts o f history books and literature pertaining to global conspiracies. Now widely known for his own promulgation of conspiracy theories, and a bombastic, over-the-top style of presentation, Jones began his broadcast career in Austin, TX during the mid 1990s. Alex’s first show was a live, call-in format public-access cable program on topics that were relatively tame compared to wh...

Lucius Cornelius Sulla (ESI): Personality Type Analysis

Lucius Cornelius Sulla Felix  was an aristocratic politician and military commander in the last century of the Roman Republic. He is best known as the first Roman commander to march on Rome itself and as the first to assume the office of Dictator without a preset term limit - even if he resigned after less than two years. Although his political goal had been to strengthen the then shaky foundations of the Republic, when he died in 78 BC his career and example had established the precedents for the dictatorship of  Gaius Julius Caesar (SEE)  and therefore for the later regime of the emperors. His life and personality are known from the writings of ancient historians, in particular Plutarch, who wrote a biography of Sulla partly based on Sulla's own memoirs, which have not survived. Background : Sulla was born in 138 BC, a member of the patrician (i.e. of highest nobility) clan Cornelius - arguably the most powerful clan overall - but Sulla himself started out in a rela...

Marie Kondo (ESE): Personality Type Analysis

"Life truly begins only after you have put your house in order." Marie Kondo is a Japanese organising consultant and author, known primarily for the KonMari method of tidying and has become a viral sensation with her 2019 Netflix show, "Tidying Up With Marie Kondo." Marie Kondo has a long-standing obsessive interest in the organisation of her environment. From childhood she would leaf through home magazines and experiment with different organisational methods in her own home, and even preferred tidying and organising at school to playing with other children. As a result, she has broad knowledge of organisational systems and techniques and confidently recommends practical solutions for a wide range of situations. However, she considers emotional engagement (E) and aesthetic sensibilities (S+E) to be more relevant than practical considerations (P), as I will explain below: "It is my hope that the magic of tidying will help you create a bright and joyfu...

Jordan Peterson (LIE): Personality Type Analysis

Jordan Bernt Peterson is a Canadian clinical psychologist who currently holds a professorship in psychology at the University of Toronto. Dr. Peterson has conducted research in a wide range of psychological sub-fields. However, his main areas of study include personality psychology, as well as abnormal & social psychology, with an emphasis on personal self-improvement and the psychological role of mythological belief systems. Throughout his career in academia, Peterson has also maintained a clinical practice treating up to 20 patients per week. For much of his professional life, Jordan Peterson was not well-known outside his field of study. However, that all changed in 2016 when he gained international notoriety for his very public criticisms of political correctness, and opposition to the Canadian government's Bill C-16 which, among other things, permitted the legal compulsion of preferred gender pronoun usage. Since then, Peterson has continually been in the media spotli...

Ayn Rand (LIE): Personality Type Analysis

Ayn Rand (born Alisa Zinovyevna Rosenbaum) was a Russian-American novelist, screenwriter, playwright, newspaper columnist, and philosopher, best known for her two bestselling novels, The Fountainhead (1943) and Atlas Shrugged (1957), and for the philosophical system she developed, called Objectivism . The Fountainhead gave her widespread "mainstream" success and even acclaim, but Atlas Shrugged and her non-fiction writings on Objectivism made her a polarising political and cultural figure, even after her death at 77 in 1982. To some extent that remains true to this day - at least in the United States, where she remains a household name. Her cultural impact in other countries seems to be negligible; on the other hand her two main novels remain in print in the UK and can be found even in smaller bookshops. Life and work : Born in St Petersburg in 1905 in a Jewish family of upper-middle-class means - her father owned a small business - Rand's worldview was, by her o...
