David Hilbert MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is David Hilbert? David Hilbert is an INTJ personality type in MBTI, 5w4 - so/sp - in Enneagram, RCOEI in Big 5, LII in Socionics.
Arguably the most ambitious mathematician who have ever lived. Other then the fact that he is arguably the last mathematican who had mastery over most if not all field of mathematics at the time, Hilbert attempted (and failed) to universalize all mathematics through a complete axiomatization of mathematics.
Biography
David Hilbert (/ˈhɪlbərt/; German: [ˈdaːvɪt ˈhɪlbɐt]; 23 January 1862 – 14 February 1943) was a German mathematician and one of the most influential mathematicians of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Hilbert discovered and developed a broad range of fundamental ideas in many areas, including invariant theory, the calculus of variations, commutative algebra, algebraic number theory, the foundations of geometry, spectral theory of operators and its application to integral equations, mathematical physics, and the foundations of mathematics (particularly proof theory). Hilbert adopted and defended Georg Cantor's set theory and transfinite numbers. In 1900, he presented a collection of problems that set the course for much of the mathematical research of the 20th century. Hilbert and his students contributed significantly to establishing rigor and developed important tools used in modern mathematical physics.
