Finally found a personality type consensus that seems reasonable. Some of the well known liberals were ENTPs. Jeremy Bentham, John Stuart Mill, Bertrand Russell, Aj Ayer and such. This is probably because Ne- Ti loop plays a role for establishing the base for a person's liberty and freedom through new possibilities of society over the existential role of an individual. Its unlike Ni-Te which seeks to reduce the diagram of society into a single ideology or Fi-Ne loop which opposes societal values that create inequality among people. While Ni-dom constantly looks for a metaphysical ground for an agent (society or an individual), the Fi-dom looks for the existential meaning of an individual as opposed to the collective view of society.

Biography
The chief objective for liberalism is human freedom within reasonable limits. Freedom means the ability to do what one wills with one's own life and property, and build and live in a society where the state and church do not interfere and regulate. Liberals differ from Anarchists in that they believe that people need to be 'oppressed' by governments in order to be free in other respects — though they value government only for the freedom it brings, and don't consider it something valuable or desirable in itself. More importantly liberals of multiple types believe in representative government. They believe that governing is a profession like a doctor, a teacher, a lawyer (and some lawyers do end up governing), and that it can only be handled by experts. These experts need to have a constituency, and need to be balanced by other experts, but once empowered in office, your representatives govern and you, citizen - while free to criticize, cannot really interfere.
