COMPLETE ANALYSIS HERE AFTER CONTEMPLATING FOR MONTHS We start off with 3 choices: INTJ, INTP and ISTP. Part 1: Analysing the INTJ option. Sherlock is a Ti dom (look at his Study in Pink analysis - follows a clear line of subjective logic) and Fe inferior. Ppl who can't see this don't know the difference between inferior and trickster Fe. The reason he has inferior Fe is because he is AWARE that he is socially awkward and not well-liked and he represses it. It's especially obvious when he uses Fe manipulation as well as increasingly trying to develop the only friendship he has with John. Redbeard is also one of the most obvious signs of repressed Fe. Whereas an INTJ would be Fe-blind and therefore not be self-conscious about social interaction. Inferior Fe is also the reason Sherlock succeeded with Eurus whereas Mycroft didn't. Secondly, no Te-Fi axis. He's a detective because it's a game to him and he wants to solve puzzles to maintain his intellectual image. There is no moral compulsion behind his decisions, unlike another well-known fictional detective aka Batman. As for Te, Sherlock may be seen as efficient in terms of fast decision-making, but he lacks the other aspects of Te such as usage of empirical data to make decisions, doesn't plan or attempt to structure his life in any way which is why he is a continual mess. Instead, he has a Ti-Te clash with Mycroft (ESTJ - aka a Te dom) which is why they hate each other so much. Sherlock thinks Mycroft is a rigid control freak while Mycroft thinks Sherlock is wasting his potential. There are 3 reasons why there are so many INTJ votes: (1) There are too many biased INTJ voters here. (2) Sherlock is a 5w6 and most INTJs are 5w6, so their Ni makes them go "oh hes INTJ". (3) Benedict Cumberbatch is an INFJ, so even in acting his mannerisms resemble an Ni dom, once again tricking all these Ni-abusing INTJs into making false conclusions
