I am reading the Antidühring, which contains perfect examples of Ti and Ne. Ti is used almost maniacally, every sentence of Dühring's scripts which is quoted is logically analyzed and refuted, like you cannot keep on reading if something is not totally clear and explained. Also Ne is everywhere, it's full of genial metaphors and parallelisms, perfectly used and never redundants(despite Marx's scripts, where I often find very redundant metaphores), leaving his opponent mocked. A real genius of both introvert thinking and extrovert intuition. He really fits the INTP. EDIT: or ENTP as well. I cannot spot his inferior function.
Biography
Friedrich Engels (28 November 1820 – 5 August 1895) was a German philosopher, communist, social scientist, journalist and businessman. His father was an owner of large textile factories in Salford, England and in Barmen, Prussia (what is now in Wuppertal, Germany). Engels developed what is now known as Marxist theory together with Karl Marx and in 1845 he published The Condition of the Working Class in England, based on personal observations and research in English cities. In 1848, Engels co-authored The Communist Manifesto with Marx and also authored and co-authored (primarily with Marx) many other works. Later, Engels supported Marx financially, allowing him to do research and write Das Kapital. After Marx's death, Engels edited the second and third volumes of Das Kapital. Additionally, Engels organised Marx's notes on the Theories of Surplus Value, which he later published as the "fourth volume" of Capital.
