Jung, Myers, Keirsey, etc. on Hitler’s Type
- The Journal of Individual Differences Research identifies Hitler as an introvert.
- Reinhold Hainish [personal friend of Hitler 1909-1912] identifies Hitler as an introvert.
- August Kubizek [personal friend of Hitler 1908] identifies Hitler as having Histrionic traits.
- Albert Speer identifies Hitler as having Histrionic traits.
- David Keirsey Sr. identifies Hitler as ENFJ (Source: Please Understand Me I, Prometheus Books 1984, p. 202).
- David Keirsey Jr. identifies Hitler as INFP (Source: Personal correspondence with Keirsey Jr. 2014).
- Marie-Louise von Franz asserts that Hitler’s inferior function is neither Feeling nor Intuition (i.e. Hitler is INJ, IFP, EFJ, or ENP) (Source: Von Franz: Psychotherapy, Shambhala 1993, p. 59-60).
- C.G. Jung did not speak about Hitler’s type in typological terms, but he described Hitler in a way that is reminiscent of his description of IN-J types in Psychological Types, leading at least one Jung scholar to infer that Jung identified Hitler as an N or Ni type. Jung also described Hitler as “shy and friendly,” again without speaking directly on the topic of Hitler’s type.
- C.A. Meier [president of the C.G. Jung Institute] identifies Hitler as IN-J (Source).
- John Beebe [Jungian analyst and MD] identifies Hitler as IS-J (Source).
- CelebrityTypes Admin Team identifies Hitler as INFJ.
