Anaximander MBTI Personality Type

Personality

What personality type is Anaximander? Anaximander is an INFJ personality type in MBTI, 5w6 - - in Enneagram, in Big 5, LII in Socionics.

I'm switching my vote to INFJ. Anaximander's theory of the Apeiron is cognitively different from the theories of Thales and Anaximenes. Whereas they are metaphysical realists, believing that there is a defining core underneath reality, Anaximander is not. The Apeiron precedes reality. It is mere perception of unity without definition, indicating Ni (with Fe/Ti) instead of just Ti or Ti with Si.

Biography

Anaximander (c. 610 – c. 546 BC), was a pre-Socratic Greek philosopher who lived in Miletus, a city of Ionia (in modern-day Turkey). He belonged to the Milesian school and learned the teachings of his master Thales. He succeeded Thales and became the second master of that school where he counted Anaximenes and, arguably, Pythagoras amongst his pupils. And the first person in history to recognize that our planet is free in space and does not need to sit on something.
