Peter I the Great MBTI Personality Type

Personality

What personality type is Peter I the Great? Peter I the Great is an ENTJ personality type in MBTI, 8w7 - so/sx - 836 in Enneagram, SLOEI in Big 5, SLE in Socionics.

Not expert in typing but I would bet in ENTJ for Peter the Great cause I think people are targeting superficial layers of Peter's persona. Something like "tactical leader, likes to party and is curious in the outside world = ESFP". But there are interests historical hints to type him as a ENTJ. First I will start with Te dom. When I saw his role on the Embassy I initially thought of ENTP, but it came to my mind that Te is also a function that can be responsible for logical framework observation leading to knowledge seeking. Remembering that he wasn't seeking knowledge for pure knowledge (like Ne/Ti or Ti/Ne) but to take it practically to Russia. Furthermore, Te is so evident in how he transferred his personality in the construction of St.Petersburg, built to be a symbol of order (strictly planned city) and enlightenment in Russia. There is also his obsession with Navy, that was quoted in the book "Russia in The Age of Peter the Great" p. 370 that states that for Peter ships weren't a mere a mean of transportation but a symbol of a well organized structure, the material embodiment of human thought and a complex moviment of the rational man.
