Meaning, which types have the ability to most inspire others? Does this belong to extroverts?-lovers? Feelers? Or is this completely un-type related?

My personal, very biased opinion is IEEs. They have it all; an extroverted, stress-resistant & energetic temperament, Ne potentials and ideas, Fi people skills and understanding of relationships, some Se to put things in action and absolutely no logical bullshit to limit them!![]()
If by inspiring you mean what type awes at handicapped people making out, or breeds dogs / children and dresses them up in pink outfits and takes pictures of them for the awes, then that's the Delta NFs.

it's all there in the Alpha description: inspiring, creative, supportive and interested in all different types of people and ideas
For me it's IEI.. The creative and demonstrative ethics are really impressive
E +valuing
I suspect it's type related when personal preferences are taken into account.

IEEs and Fe creatives.
IEE made me vegetarian and more spiritual. Without trying ftr.
Fe creatives made me confident, if a bit arrogant. And a bit more artistic, I guess.
Fe creative also told me how the origins of the word inspire were "inspiritus", translating that the "spirit enters". I can certainly see many people in me.![]()

I prefer genuine empathy and relateability over inspiration. That's why I make people like Oprah and Esther Hicks the villains in my novels. They like to make you feel better about yourself so you ignore them while they eat innocent babies. Fuck that shit. =D
Yeah yeah I know I'm being overly Beta and annoying myself or whatever but I can't help it. I think inspiration needs to be earned, like in Buffy season 7 when it went a whole two years of emo suckiness and then Buffy said to Willow "This woman is more powerful than all of them combined." Whoa!
nothing annoys me more than self-help books just sounds narcissistic and tends to make me feel worst, I'm also too smart for them and have too many self-defense mechanisms. I know most people just want me to stop being emo and get over my funks but I can only do that with the raw nature of reality in other words a lot of Se and physical presence. =/
I was sitting here thinking about this when I realized that I am the most inspirational
person that I know. Not because I'm necessarily inspirational but I'm an incredible
self-motivator and I strive to meet goals on my own without the help or support of
others. When I'm running and I want to stop I never say to myself, "what would
an Fe creative say to you!?! pick your fucking feet up and keep moving." I say, "you
know you can do this. You see that tree? You can reach it. You see that house? You
can pass it. Keep pushing." What inspires me is the knowledge of knowing that I can
do absolutely anything that another human being can. My capabilities inspire me and
growing inspires and improving my person inspires me. Most external sources I don't
find inspiring. I look to them for ideas but not for inspiration.
I think anyone who is confident in their capabilities and is willing to go against the grain, and be a great example, can be inspiring. Not necessarily type related.
