The American Presidents, from WWII-present

Also, the fact that Bush is culturally behind is part of what makes it easy to type him as delta, when I don't think that he is. This sounds stupid, but my rationale is that generally we associate delta with the "old age" quadra, and perhaps the fact that Bush is culturally "old" or conservative makes it easy to view him as socionics'ly "old" or conservative? Also, although I know typing by weak functions is bad, I totally see Bush as Ne polr > Ni polr, largely for the reasons that I've talked about with him just not accepting the change that has occurred not only in how other groups see America, morality, and the Republican party, but in how America, moral leaders, and the Republican party see themselves, respectively (weakness in accepting new ideas).

I understand what you mean by this and agree with you.

In addition to Bush II's politics, his self-cultivated image as a rural cowboy (albeit born in Connecticut to a preppy New England political family) creates an image that one could associate with (above all over quadras) Delta--down-home, country-western, straight talkin' simple man.

This conservative, non-intellectual, 'country-boy' image belongs largely to Delta, unfair as it may be.

(Of course, betas can be cowboys too... I recently saw Brokeback Mountain...)
