Ah yes Socrates, the daddy of all ENTPs and the god of all ENTP 8w7s. The ENTP debate is basically non existent, which I am glad about, but I do not seem to grasp the idea of him being either a 5 or a 1. He was a social monster, very good at holding conversations and translating his immense ideas to the general public (probably not a 5). He was extremely dominant, but took on a kinder role towards his students, nevertheless he was merciless in debate and did not let weak arguments slide. This was his WHOLE DEAL. He seems to be overflowing with the sheer force of an 8w7. 5's try to appeal to people and live to learn, 8's want to understand the world so they can change it in some way. The idea of him being a one is pretty mental to me. Ah yes, the unwashed, stinking man-swine who hates the established order and loves throwing a wrench into everything is a one and not an eight. I getcha. I do think Plato might have been a 1 and his writings might have made him appear like a 1 too.
