Elisi always thought she was an introvert for unfathomable Ni reasons. In my head she was an ENTJ, and then an ESTJ, figuring she had too much 'just do it!' drive to be an introvert. And then one day I compared her to Martha Stewart (copied and pasted from an email):
I was re-thinking my typing of Clinton the other day, btw, by comparing her to Martha Stewart. I think Clinton is an ISTJ after all. Martha, who is definitely an ESTJ, for all her icy, perfect, corporate queen of dominance thing, she knows how to work with Ne (did you hear that she and Snoop Dog are going to have a cooking show together? The Atlantic had to write an article about why she's awesome. Also, if you're ever having a bad day, search for Martha Stewart and Conan O'Brien. Actually, no, the world is a scary place right now, just watch this immediately. Trust.) But you never really see Martha Stewart touch anything Fi-related.
Clinton, conversely, had always been reserved, but has really been able to turn on the Fi-appeals this election cycle. She's got that classic, awkward, inferior-Ne reaction to whimsey, though. And, like many an ISJ, she makes a great subject of a Ne joke--you know that all the best memes around her were created by other people, and that she's kind of the bemused onlooker. So, yeah, ISTJ.
The upshot of all of this, of course, is that the Clinton campaign should hire Martha Stewart as a personal image consultant for Hillary.
