Paul Graham

[Exodus]

Paul Graham is one of the founders of Viaweb and the author of Hackers and Painters, as well as On Lisp--IMO the greatest programming text ever written. He writes a lot about programming (Lisp in particular), startups, and high school life, His website, http://www.paulgraham.com has tons of great essays. (Try Why Nerds are Unpopular or What You Can't Say, or Beating the Averages if you're feeling adventurous) I've read all of them, and I think they give a lot of insight into his personality. Any ideas?

INTp?

[Exodus]

I was thinking ENTp.

edit: You know, actually, I'm not sure. Definitely a rationalist type.

[aestrivex]

whatever type he is, his essays are brilliant.

[olduser]

'why nerds are unpopular' brought me down. I needed that.

[aestrivex]

actually, i'm starting to think he's ENTp as well. possibly ENFp.

[Exodus]

possibly ENFp.

That's interesting. A lot of his essays are about the mechanics of popularity, morality, society--all Fi. I just found a new one here that has quite a strong Fi message.
