Personality

What personality type is Paul Dirac? Paul Dirac is an INTP personality type in MBTI, 5w6 - - 514 in Enneagram, RCOEI in Big 5, LII in Socionics.

Sorry for the stereotypes but Dirac is the stereotypical INTP, he even have a unit of speech - Dirac - named after him (defined by Dirac's colleagues at Cambridge), which means one word per hour. > 'In 1929, Dirac and Heisenberg were on board a ship to Japan for attending annual science conference. Werner Heisenberg who happened to be quite a ladies man, used to dance with the young girls on the ship before dinners, while Dirac used to sit watching. One such evening, Dirac asked, "Heisenberg, why do you dance?" "When there are nice girls, dancing with them is a pleasure," Heisenberg replied. Dirac pondered this notion for a while, then blurted out: "But, how do you know beforehand that the girls are nice?" Heisenberg burst out with laughter. > 'In 1932, Dirac was appointed the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge. During one lecture in class, a student raised his hand and said, "I don't understand the equation on the top-right-hand corner of the blackboard." Dirac simply nodded his head in agreement and continued unabated. When asked again, he expressed puzzlement because he thought the student had simply uttered a fact and not asked a question.' source: https://www.wondersofphysics.com/2019/07/paul-dirac-stories.html

Biography

Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac (8 August 1902 – 20 October 1984) was an English theoretical physicist who is regarded as one of the most significant physicists of the 20th century.Dirac made fundamental contributions to the early development of both quantum mechanics and quantum electrodynamics. Among other discoveries, he formulated the Dirac equation which describes the behaviour of fermions and predicted the existence of antimatter.
