I love that your doing Shakespeare, I would also love to see you look at other authors, books and characters from an MBTI perspective even do movies, directors and TV show analysis too. I'm thinking of a favourite Enneagram book called The Enneagram movie and video guide by Thomas Condon or The Literary Enneagram by Judith Searle, I wish there were MBTI versions of those books, the nearest to those I suppose is the Stephen Montgomery series of books called The Pygmalion Project in which he looks at MBTI characters from great novels, anyway would love to see you do more of that as I think it really helps me to understand type better if I can see them fleshed out as a character on film or in a novel, I'm an INFJ btw and thanks for such an interesting video
Just watched this series of videos and I must say I'm impressed with the direction you'd like to see MBTI going. I'm an NT and would certainly like to see it getting involved in the sciences, but you're right about how fitting the theory is for having its start in academia by way of the humanities. I've heard Jung's archetypes (Hero, Shadow, etc) used in class, but it would be better to see the types themselves shed more light and a new means of analyzing literature at school/university.
It was really interesting to me when you were talking about Shakespeare being perhaps the number 1 example of NF, or NF at it's best and that Albert Einstein was the perfect poster child for NT. I would really love it if you could think of the best representation for each temperament so that all of Briggs and Myer could be boiled down to 4 brilliant but very different historical figures that each individually expanded our universe in their unique way. I'm not on facebook so I don't know how else to ask you a question Dr. Mike.
Anthony Chan Yes! I like a brilliant musician or athlete for the SP's. I guess I just like to think that the best part of that temperament is more than manipulating and using people and getting away with it. I particularly like your choice of Louis Armstrong. He brought so much joy and happiness into the world as well as being a stunning and completely creative musician. Thank you for answering my question:)
Maren Latham And yes! You make a really good point about these short lived "shooting stars". The nature of this temperament is a bit fiery and tragic, especially when we're thinking of famous examples. The fact that they are in the limelight would tend to exacerbate the weaknesses of SJ.
Anthony Chan I see what you mean, but the less flashy life has just as much, if not more value. George Eliot's final lines of Middlemarch describes this perfectly."But the effect of her being on those around her was incalculably diffusive: for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.'
Anthony Chan You are right that NF's seem to have more compassion for SJ's in art than in real life. That's because we don't like getting our hearts broken and being let down by them. Which kind of makes my point that you'd rather be/have a decent, caring, down to earth person that you can actually trust and rely on than some brilliant artist making a big impact on the world, but whose personal life is a total mess,and they hurt you all the time. You can enjoy that sort of person and their contributions from afar, but you can't live with them! By the way, do you mind if I ask what type you are?

Anthony Chan So we have Albert Einstein, William Shakespeare, George Washington, and Hugh Hefner!!? Can't the poor SP's have someone better?
