I was wondering if any of you would help me aquire the personality types for the following people:
Leonardo da Vinci
Charles Darwin
Charlie Eppes (the fictional character from Numb3rs)
Charles Manson
Jeffery Domar
John Wayne Gacy

I volunteered to write a report on each of these people. It's all part of a large project of mine, due in two weeks. Effects on society, victims, values, and laws. But what I really need help on are their personality types.

How much have you studied about each of those people? *Or are you just trying to get someone to do your homework for you...hmmm :-?

Take a piece of paper and write E I S N F T P J at the top.
Then study each person and put a check under which you think applies.

* *E *I *S *N *F *T *P *J

DaVinci * * * * *
Manson * * * * * * *

In the two examples above, I did enough homework to determine that DaVinci was introverted, intuitive, thinking, perceiving (INTP)....and then I would list my reasons why. *And with Manson, I determined he was an ENTJ...list reasons why. *Does that make sense?

DaVinci: *I because he didn't hang out at parties much; N because he was very Intuitive about what his customers wanted; T because he studied a lot of science in order to create his art; P because his projects never finished on time. - INTP

Manson: *E because*he liked to party and surround himself with people (minions); N because he was intuitive enough that it allowed him to manipulate his minions; T because it took some serious thinking to pull off what he did; and J because his project (unfortunately) was finished on time.

Go do your research on these folks and plot them on a chart. *Document your reasons for your plots, and before you know it, your homework is done.

Hope you have some fun along the way!

Lol no, The personality traits will help me do the work. It's not part of the work. As I said it is HUGE, so I need any help I can get. The actual meat and bones I can do myself. A little direction is what I need.

I think Charlie Eppes must be INTP right?
They are the ones who tend to be super intelligent and able to understand extremely complex ideas.
However, the way he describes his ideas by analogy and makes it understandable- I'm not sure if that's INTP.
INTPs tend to complicate matters when they try to explain them, but I may be mistaken.

Maybe he's INFJ.

Well the problem with TV characters is that they're fictional. He may not be type-able. He may have to be F sometimes to fit the script, T other times, P here, J there....and there may not be a direct strength visible. Plus it's gotta be hard for actor to act like a genius mathematician and know what that kind of life style is.

I agree with you.

In another forum, I read the opinion of a couple of people that they thought DaVinci was ISTP - just thought I'd let you know.
