Don't type him by the content of his books, type him by his work ethic: This dude plans his novels by writing HUNDREDS of pages of notes and background for stories that stretch over the course of multiple books, requiring thorough research into historical events, people, and places, and characters who reappear in each of them, AND has been consistent in his output since the 80s... A cartoonish level of Te-Fi at play here. The Ni of a typical ISTP likes the IDEA of a super thoroughly connected series of books, but the act of planning that stuff out comes less naturally. It's one thing to plan out 1 book. This guy is planning out entire concurrent series of books No doubt James Ellroy was in a heavy Se-grip early on in his career, then decided to embrace the Se-grip persona.
