"Gary Gygax是什么人格？ Gary Gygax是MBTI中的ENTP人格类型，九型中的5w4 - - ，五大类型中的，Socionics中类型。"
His biography book, Empire of Imagination, does lead me to believe ENTP. I could even entertain ESTJ or ENTJ but his style and philosophy of play seem like Ne-Ti to me. Basically he was one of those nerds totally unafraid of business but idealistic and somewhat naiive enough to think that everyone cared about the product the way he did. He was no angel, very few are, but his contributions to the world are extremely significant and positive overall. Hell, he'd HATE the new WOTC licensing debacle too and probably leave to spin off his own pathfinder as well, based on what I read. That's basically what he did with his own game like 3 times. He was a passionate schemer and a weaver of tales who surrounded himself with friends and always felt regretful that he let the biz get in the way of his relationships later down the line. BTW he was NOT INTP. He was always "ideas first" and had a strong community building drive all throughout his younger years. He was that 'glue that holds everyone together' nerd which is such a classic role for an ENTP or perhaps ENFP. I think his partners may have been INTP (Esp Dave Arneson, who always just wanted to be in the background and focus on the game, not the biz like Gary) and/or ENFP here and there, with a few INFPs too.
背景
Ernest Gary Gygax (July 27, 1938 – March 4, 2008) was an American game designer and author best known for co-creating the pioneering role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) with Dave Arneson. In the 1960s, Gygax created an organization of wargaming clubs and founded the Gen Con gaming convention. In 1971, he helped develop Chainmail, a miniatures wargame based on medieval warfare. He co-founded the company Tactical Studies Rules (TSR, Inc.) with childhood friend Don Kaye in 1973. The following year, he and Arneson created D&D, which expanded on Gygax's Chainmail and included elements of the fantasy stories he loved as a child. In the same year, he founded The Dragon, a magazine based around the new game. In 1977, Gygax began work on a more comprehensive version of the game, called Advanced Dungeons & Dragons.
