Michel Foucault, French philosopher

[FDG]

He always struck me as Tj VI wise. The first impression, years ago, was ENTj, but his writings does not seem to be particularly Te-centered.

[Dionysius The Return]

He always struck me as Tj VI wise. The first impression, years ago, was ENTj, but his writings does not seem to be particularly Te-centered.

Honestly, from a VI standpoint, he definitely looks Rational and Se valuer. Too tense, rigid, and also very concerned about power? These are too strong evidences for Se, for me to really consider ILE for him.

From a personality standpoint, he probably "looks" ILE and I understand those who type him that way.

But the VI elements and the obsession about power in his writings are too strong to put him as a non-Se type.

For a while I thought he was LIE since his logic is very powerful, it's quite noticeable in the debate with Chomsky, but lately I've been considering EIE for him. I'm still torn between these two, lately verging towards EIE. His behavior was quite chaotic and weird, and his philosophical interest was also a bit chaotic. LIEs have a more solid, stable intellectual style. I've been considering the possibility that he is a genius and smart EIE. I'd agree that, in theory, LIE would make the most sense, because of his powerful logic, but a neurotic EIE who overly developed logic has been my typing for him. EIEs are known to be quite intellectual and argumentative. LIEs, on the other hand, verge more towards business and not exactly investigating all the small systems of society. That looks more like Ti than Te.
