He's the social (socialist and based actually) part of the duo, according to Linnell himself: "I don't think too much about the cultural context of what we're doing. I think John [Flansburgh] is more on that end of it. He thinks more in terms of the larger picture, the larger meaning of what we're doing". "We think of ourselves as civilians. I don’t feel like we feel our insights are any greater than anyone else’s might be, but fortunately we have a microphone so we get to say things that are crossing our minds". He has held the management aspect of the band. I think he's pretty clearly an intuitive thinker with a dominant extroverted function, but I'm not sure whether he would be ENTP or ENTJ. Now this might be a stretch, but I see Fe awareness in him, partly in his interest about social issues but also in his understanding of how people think. "Anyone who’s a citizen thinks about how things are in the world and you want to be responsible and you want to be a positive force. The preaching-to-the-choir aspect of being a performer, or maybe more accurately the solipsistic aspect of politics and entertainers where performers assume everyone thinks like them, seems a little simple to me". His interest on promoting positive change could easily be attributed to Ne, as defined by Jung: "It is at once clear, both from the standpoint of political economy and on grounds of general culture, that such a type is uncommonly important. If well-intentioned, with an orientation to life not purely egoistical, he may render exceptional service as the promoter, if not the initiator of every kind of promising enterprise. He is the natural advocate of every minority that holds the seed of future promise". This fits with what we've seen with him, and perhaps more importantly with Linnell's description of his character. That he searches for the larger picture makes sense a lot of sense if he's a Ne dom. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2016/2015/11/15/bernie-sanders-entertainment-politics/75839088/ http://tmbw.net/wiki/John_Linnell http://tmbw.net/wiki/John_Flansburgh https://www.personalitycafe.com/threads/jungs-description-of-the-extraverted-intuitive-type-ne-dominant.95613/
