	I wonder about Prophet Mohammad too, but the thing is with the socionics, your typing EIE is that even different from the others than many Prophet I saw in here (I meant not all but "generally" in this website). The question is, if I would know if there's any wrong with Micheal Pierce voting on that website like Personality Database even I don't know why and where did this person actually discover that site. I'm sorry if my words are wrong, now if you want tell me so you can inform that you can do.

	Boye Akinwande: “ENFJs, being extroverted judgers, will more often take an interest in applying the insights they are dealing with directly to their audience, indeed, to the specific situation at hand. They are, in other words, more prescriptive than INFJs and may, like the Buddha does in the Pali Canon, effortlessly adapt their terminology, intellectual level and frames of reference to where the audience is, so that their teachings will be effective.” IDRlabs Admin: “It’s hard to type the Buddha, because while we can isolate some traits, and they all seem to point to NFJ, the sources also contradict each other a lot, way more than with the PreSocratics. So INFJ or ENFJ could both make sense for the Buddha, depending on where the stress is placed. A good portrait of the Buddha as someone we’d type ENFJ can be found in professor Gombrich’s work. That the Buddha must have had well-developed Ti is a common argument. That’s why you should read Gombrich if you haven’t already. He makes a good case for how many of the things that are today thought of as philosophical analyses by the Buddha were actually appropriations of Brahmin and Jain tropes, adapted to take his audience and followers where he felt he needed to go. Also, a lot of the Buddhist Ti-style philosophy and analysis of phenomena is not the Buddha’s but attempts to reify his teaching into a coherent system, by intellectual monks. This latter process we know more about and they seem to have had very well-developed Ti (and Ne).“ Overall the ENFJ arguments seem to be stronger than the INFJ arguments at this time.
