I thought INFJ before, but now after watching him I changed my vote to INTP. Look at Page when he was younger, less mature, and less developed. This is the ideal way to type people. Don't mistake his *business quotes* for high Fe usage. it's laughable how many people take cordial & altruistic quotes seriously, even so, not an argument for high Fe usage. Him being "nice" is also not an argument, that's like saying "All Te users are mean". Look no further than his Wikipedia article (with sources of course): "Page was first attracted to computers when he was six years old, as he was able to "play with the stuff lying around"—first-generation personal computers—that had been left by his mother and father. He became the "first kid in his elementary school to turn in an assignment from a word processor" His older brother Carl Victor Page Jr. also taught him to take things apart and before long he was taking "everything in his house apart to see how it worked". He said that "from a very early age, I also realized I wanted to invent things. So I became interested in technology and business. Probably from when I was 12, I knew I was going to start a company eventually." https://achievement.org/achiever/larry-page/#interview https://archive.org/details/google0000scot/page/2/mode/2up Vise, David; Malseed, Mark (2005). The Google Story. Chapter 2. When Larry Met Sergey. If he is an INFJ, then this is an UNCHARATISTIC level of Ti, probably more Ti than any other INFJ ever. Way too analytical, way too obsessed with understanding mediums, way too interested in processes/systems (Ne-Si observers), and perfecting speed in said process/systems. He is also way too good at explaining his processes step by step to be a Se-user and talks about people and systems like they are one in the same (Ti-dom/Fe-inferior): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mArrNRWQEso "During his first tenure as CEO, Page embarked on an attempt to fire all of Google's project managers in 2001. Page's plan involved all of Google's engineers reporting to a VP of engineering, who would then report directly to him—Page explained that he didn't like non-engineers supervising engineers due to their limited technical knowledge. Page even documented his management tenets for his team to use as a reference: Don't delegate: Do everything you can yourself to make things go faster. Don't get in the way if you're not adding value. Let the people doing the work talk to each other while you go do something else. Don't be a bureaucrat. Ideas are more important than age. Just because someone is junior doesn't mean they don't deserve respect and cooperation. The worst thing you can do is stop someone from doing something by saying, "No. Period." If you say no, you have to help them find a better way to get it done. Even though Page's new model was unsustainable and led to disgruntlement among the affected employees, his issue with engineers being managed by non-engineering staff gained traction. Page also believed that the faster Google's search engine returned answers, the more it would be used. He fretted over milliseconds and pushed his engineers—from those who developed algorithms to those who built data centers—to think about lag times. He also pushed for keeping Google's home page famously sparse in its design because it would help the search results load faster." https://qz.com/202710/larry-pages-lost-decade-was-the-best-thing-to-ever-happen-to-google https://fortune.com/2014/11/18/larry-page-music-education/ https://www.businessinsider.com/larry-page-the-untold-story-2014-4?page=2 Ah yes, lots of aux-Fe right here. "Limited technical knowledge", yes what aux-Fe/tertiary-Ti is known for judging people by. (sarcasm BTW) "Ideas are more important than age". (Ne) "He fretted over milliseconds and pushed his engineers—from those who developed algorithms to those who built data centers—to think about lag times. He also pushed for keeping Google's home page famously sparse in its design because it would help the search results load faster." (Ti-Si) Minimalistic Ne-Si in the workspace to speed up process, overthinking and overextending, Ne > Ni, lets people operate on their own under a general ruleset (Si-Fe), wants to "invent things" and started a company to do so (Ti-Ne), etc. Occam's Razor Also if you think his Fe is so high, then why not ENFJ, ESFJ, or ISFJ?
