As far as I know, being smart doesn't depend on type. Many ISTJs are/were highly intelligent. :)Quote:

Is INTj a possibility?
Confucius "didn't spend his time philosophizing", he was a government bureaucrat and his ideas were about efficient benelovent government following traditions and procedures, based on clear lines of duty and responsibility.
Philosophize is the worst word ever.
Like there's the "philosophical world" and the "real world." And you travel between the two by "philosophizing."
1.To speculate in a philosophical manner.
2.To set forth or express a moralistic, often superficial philosophy.
weird i didnt know it was a real word.
Thanks for clearing that up Dioklecian. :) Making subtle jokes over the internet tends not to work, so I missed your intended meaning.
I remember reading that Confucianism is/was pragmatic, and that a Vietnamese king, King Tran-Thai-Ton, used its principles to govern his country, with great success.
As for Confucius being bookish, I'm not sure of this because I believe that he was an expert in archery and horsemanship, and Confucianism aims to become a balanced person.
However, I am open to correction.
Kindly,
were his sayings recorded by him or those around him?
By his disciples, disciples of disciples, etc.
What we have of his teachings basically comes to us by word of mouth after the Q'in dynasty rule in China post 206BC. (During this period, there was a massive anti-dissent movement in China, called "The Burning of Books and Burial of Scholars." If Confucius or any of his direct disciples wrote anything down, it was probably lost during this time.) He's pretty much as typeable as Jesus.Quote:

I mean that Jesus wa ENFJ, in my humble, mortal, sinner, opinion.
If I may ask (and thank you for the link), what is the difference between Fe ethics and Fi ethics in brief, sort of theessence ofthe matter? For some reason it always escapes me.Quote:

ISFj?
LSI is a possibility as well I think.
Anyway a Gamma or Delta type.
Hmmm......he seems to be anti-Ti and pro-Fi imo.Quote:

XSI. Leaning ESI.
If his views were against sex, then I'd say LSI-Ti. I'm inclined to think he was LSI-Ti. ESI don't really like enforcing their beliefs on society and they have less a sway, especially by their own efforts. I would say LII-Ti before ESI. I just can't see him as Gamma.
Japanese were more LSI-Se, less emotional (internally and externally), more artistic and innovative; Chinese more LSI-Ti and prudish, easily shocked.
