Would love to debate about this with someone else who’s as interested in serial killers and MBTI as I am.
I think those are all the patterns I’ve noticed for now. All four of the cult leaders I typed, with the exception of one (Charles Manson) were ENFJs. The serial killers who evaded capture the longest were usually ISTJs (BTK, Gary Leon Ridgway, Andrei Chikatilo, Russell Williams, etc) all got away with their crimes for 10+ years before they were caught.Ħ. Eveybody thinks that INTJs were the quintessential serial killers, but in fact every INTJ killer that I managed to identify were not your typical serial killer - they were almost universally mass or spree killers who were doing it to send a message to society (Anders Breivik, the Unabomber, Eric Harris, Varg Vikernes, etc).ĥ. Both of the INFP serial killers that I could identify had paranoid schizophrenia (Herbert Mullins and Richard Trenton Chase).Ĥ. In Millon/Oldhams styles Bundy matches with the anti social personality (with mercurial and narcissistic traits). I am sure that many high level CEO people are also ENTJs and that the difference between a good manager/inspiring leader and psychopath is sometimes marginal. However, both of the “true” female serial killers I found (who killed because they genuinely enjoyed and were aroused by it, lust killing in the same way that men do) were ESTPs (Aileen Wuornos and Joanna Dennehy).ģ. So Ted Bundy is an ENTJ in MBTI profiles series. The vast majority of the female serial killers were passive-aggressive poisoning high Fe-types. They also tend to be the kind who are the biggest freaks ever and have the most bizarre, obscure fetishes (Ed Gein, Jeffrey Dahmer, Albert Fish, etc).Ģ. ISFPs are surprisingly over-represented among serial killers. Interesting trends I noticed with respect to serial killers and MBTI type:ġ. Sada Abe (technically not a serial killer) - ISFP Ian Brady and Myra Hindley - INTP and ESFJ (not nearly as confident about this typing as I am about some of the others on here. Osama bin Laden - Celebrity Types has him listed as INFJ, I’m pretty sure he s INFP. The Silent Twins (not serial killers, but a very interesting psychological case) - both INFJs Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka: ESTP and ESFJ, respectivelyįred and Rose West - ESTP and ISFP, respectively (not as confident about this typing as the others) Genene Jones (killed via Munchausen by proxy) - ESTJ Columebine Killers (Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold) - INTJ and INFP, respectively
