    Default Muammar Gaddafi

    LSI-EIE

    In considering his type, I immediately drew parallels between him and Code Geass' Lelouch vii Britannia. The two have strikingly similar histories and beliefs; in fact, it seems a minor stretch to propose that Lelouch was patterned after Gadhafi.

    The tale of the young nationalist firebrand who literally plots the overthrow of his nation's government in his dorm room is a common one in history, told multiple times across Latin America at the very least. And every time it seems it's an LSI.

    What drives an LSI of Gadhafi's type? Generally, egalitarian values and pursuit of justice (strong socially progressive values) are high priorities in the mind of this type, and the future of their countries is very much on their mind. But why the focus on countries? It's LSI's intrinsic practicality and groundedness in the opportunities of the moment: with every surrounding nation being defended by an army and, at times, markedly different ideologies, LSI internationalist opportunities are far more limited than say, those of alpha NTs, for the simple reason that their goals are different. Thus they turn themselves inward, and here is where the "magic" of socialist rebellion begins. This is not happening just to any ONE LSI -- rather, all the LSIs in the country are operating on this one single principle, that they must move THEIR OWN country forward. This creates a remarkably cohesive block and an amazing unity that the other types just find themselves unable to unite against. From amongst this "borg-like" collective there rises a murmur and a sort of sorting as each LSI matches wits with both the other LSIs and the environment their nation is operating in. In Gadhafi's case, it was required that a masquerade be conducted to persuade Islamists to buy into the socialism Libyan LSIs were embracing at the time. Gadhafi was also a beneficiary of opportunity: he was one of only a handful of capable officers in the Libyan army. But among these he was without a doubt a unique potential -- his ability to mask his public persona behind the image of a sunglasses wearing superhero who could be all things to all people, while committing wholly to none of them, made him uniquely suited for leading the small nation next door to massive Egypt. And there was opportunity: the CIA wanted the monarchy out and the forward-looking Gadhafi was just what the United States wanted to see in the next regime. It was because Gadhafi WAS a superhero that the CIA wanted to see him there, believing that he would become a symbol of pro-Westernism in the socially stagnant Middle East.

    However the CIA failed to reckon with the flip-side of all those superpowers. How does a man plot the overthrow of his government from his dormitory? He'd have to be pretty paranoid, and goodness Gadhafi is paranoid and more. As ruler Gadhafi has spread his paranoia to every corner of Libya, creating a police state that his fellow LSI Saddam Hussein no doubt respected. The shadow of his plans for Libya hangs over the nation in the shape of other plans that failed to be realized, opportunities that failed to manifest. Alas, the plan shaped even the ethics, as Gadhafi firmly lost his way in the way that, ironically, LSIs are want to do. Now Gadhafi labors under his own shadow, engulfed by the self-same cloud of fear and lies that he helped create.

    I've come to accept the EIE typing for him...while being amused at his resemblance to Mick Jagger.

    Gadhafi as Michael's long lost insane twin? I could agree with that.

    After the events of the past couple days, I'm leaning away from EIE EM and towards SEI EM for Gadhafi. I'm undecided about his IM type... I based what I wrote above on media reports. I looked up translations of his speeches, but he rarely speaks and his address to the U.N. was either translated incoherently, or really was incoherent.

    I can't help feeling fascinated by narcissists like him. It's just too much, too unreal, so it feels almost ridiculous to judge him. Instead I look at him as some fascinating object.

    Exactly. He's a caricature. I think people like him desire a sort of elevation above others... they want a kind of emotional gulf between themselves and others, although they want it to be safe. So they aspire to bigger than life roles and titles that make it impossible for others to approach them on equal terms.

    I have met a lot of people who are like that. And I've noticed, when it comes to talking to them about personal matters, they clam up fast, even in private, because they want that emotional gulf.

    Not it is not, and even if they were all LSIs it doesnt necesserily prove he is. Thats a logical fallacy.

    I never asserted such. The simple fact of the matter is that whatever he is internally, he has behaved like an ISTJ.

    Why do you believe ESTP?

    That doesnt prove he is ESTp either, nor is it my reasons for believing such.


    I just beleive ESTp from VI, and from the vibe he gives. Theres also the fact that he seems 8W7, which is more likely to correlate to SLE than LSI, I think.

    Whoa, SLEs may be a little tyrannical, but they're definitely not unfair. types always strive to be fair. SEEs fit this description better.

    Dual type (as per tcaudilllg)
    Enneagram 5 (wings either 4 or 6)?


    I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE

    Theres also the fact that he seems 8W7,
    Quite.

    My so/sx 8w7 descrip. fits him well: "...If called to atone for their iron fist, they will choose defiance to the end."

    http://articles.economictimes.indiat...ews/28621366_1

    "Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi signalled his defiance in the face of a mounting revolt against his 41-year rule on Tuesday..."

    Much different than Mubarrak...that guy folds like a lawn chair.

    I think you guys are right. I was just reading about how the people of Libya are largely unable to meet their needs because this guy just does not care. To him, delta Si is completely irrelevant.

    You have to have grown up in an Arab country to get the cultural and historical context behind a lot of what he says. But even most Arabs call him schizophrenic.

    I don't know much about his political history, but he comes off as absurdly arbitrary.

    SPIEGEL: Whatever you may now say about Switzerland, previously it didn't bother you in the least. You did business with the country -- your company Tamoil Suisse has dozens of filling stations in Switzerland.

    Gadhafi: Money is laundered on a grand scale in Switzerland. Anyone who robs a bank later invests the money in Switzerland. Anyone who evades taxes goes to Switzerland. Anyone who wants to deposit money in secret accounts goes to Switzerland. And a large number of owners of such secret accounts have died under mysterious circumstances.



    Lol. It's like all he knows about Switzerland is from Bond movies.

    Interesting remarks though.

    USA and some european countries have begun informational (and physical) war and propaganda to expand their economic interests in Libya and current leader prevents it. Nothing more. He ruled his country for many years, have made some form of socialism, there were low levels of criminality and corruption, and most people there were ones of the reachest among other African countries. Most probably, if Gaddafi will be removed, then economic and social situation in Lybia will become worse.

    Qadaffi ordered cheeseburgers for himself and his medical team in the middle of a lengthy hair transplant procedure. EIE it is.

    Do you need a survey to gauge the popular Italian sentiment against Berlusconi? Or the public's perception of George Bush? You just need to live in those respective countries for a while and talk to the people you meet. They provide as good a random statistical sampling as many official surveys that come out.

    USA and some european countries have begun informational (and physical) war and propaganda to expand their economic interests in Libya and current leader prevents it. Nothing more. He ruled his country for many years, have made some form of socialism, there were low levels of criminality and corruption, and most people there were ones of the reachest among other African countries. Most probably, if Gaddafi will be removed, then economic and social situation in Lybia will become worse.
    Huh? Qaddafi was one of the most corrupt, kleptocratic dictators in living memory. If there were low levels of criminality and corruption, it was only because there was nothing left to steal.

    He is delusional. Of that I am certain.

    I came across something today which reminded me of him...

    And something about him reminds me of Esper.

    More clues to Brother Leader's sociotype, from one of his former nurses:

    * Still listens to cassettes.

    * Remains "in great shape."

    * Makes decisions based on handshakes, because he "is a great psychologist."

    * Changes outfits "several times a day" and is "obsessive" about clothes.

    * "When we drove around poor African countries he would fling money and candy out the widow of his armored limousine to children who ran after our motorcade; he didn't want them close for fear of catching diseases from them."

    * "None of us nurses was ever his lover; the only time we ever touched him was to take his blood pressure."

    * Gives watches with his face on them as gifts.

    * Doesn't actually sleep in a tent.

    Seems like Ego.

    Seems like valuing.

    True duality: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...Rice-lair.html

    A bizarre photograph album filled page to page with pictures of Condoleezza Rice has been found at the compound of Colonel Gaddafi.

    As citizens ransacked the sprawling lair, for the first time discovering the extent of riches enjoyed by their bloodthirsty tyrant, a number of unusual items have been looted.

    Perhaps the most surprising, however, was the album, filled with glossy pictures of America's former Secretary of State.

    Colonel Gaddafi had previously hinted at a serious admiration for Mrs Rice.

    In an interview with Al-Jazeera television in 2007, where he hinted that then-President George W. Bush's top diplomat wielded considerable influence in the Arab world:

    "I support my darling black African woman," he said at the time. "I admire and am very proud of the way she leans back and gives orders to the Arab leaders. ... Leezza, Leezza, Leezza. ... I love her very much. I admire her, and I'm proud of her, because she's a black woman of African origin."

    I know it's a little strange, but I sort of liked Gadhafi because of his unabashed eccentricity. Massacring your own people is not cool though.

    um...IDK, maybe SLI

    Dual type (as per tcaudilllg)
    Enneagram 5 (wings either 4 or 6)?


    I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE

    Nope, but it can be necessary.

    7 years later, Gaddafi has been killed by the hands of NATO, and Libya has become a failed state.

    Here's videos of Gaddafi when he was younger and less hostile to Western media:





    And of course his "Green Book":
