The strong viceral reaction manson demonstrated during an interview coupled with his ability to psycologically dominate women and some men, copuled with the fact he has not changed a bit all these years in prison add up to 8w7. 8's are instinctual types. This instinctiveness can sometimes pass as extroverted intuition. Manson seems more a thrill seeker than a rational. A rational would not have the poor understanding of symbols that an SP would - for example the swastica tatoo on mansons forehead. This seems to be a 3w4, and an entp. : Clearly not a countherphobic six as Riso would : like him to be.
: : His record there described Charlie as having "a tremendous drive to : call attention to himself. Generally he is unable to succeed in positive : acts, therefore he often resorts to negative behavior to satisfy this : drive. In his efforts to "find" himself, Manson peruses different : religious philosophies, e.g. Scientology and Buddhism; however, he : never remains long enough with any given teachings to reap : meaningful benefits."
: : Karpis had some interesting insights into Charlie’s true personality: : "There was something unmistakably unusual about Manson. He was a : runt of sorts, but found his place as an experienced manipulator of : others...I did feel manipulated, and under circumstances where it : hadn’t been necessary." : Another facet of Charlie, although not nearly as important to him as his : music, was his philosophy. To a large extent, this "philosophy" was a : con, something he dreamed up to impress his followers, but he : probably believed some of it. : Though he had little formal schooling, he was fairly : articulate, and definitely bright. He picked up little : nuances, seemed to consider all of the hidden sides of a : question before answering. His moods were mercurial, : his facial expressions chameleon-like. Underneath, : however, there was a strange intensity. You felt it even : when he was joking, which, despite the seriousness of : the charges, was often. He frequently played to the : always-packed courtroom, not only to the Family faithful : but to the press and spectators as well. Spotting a pretty : girl, he’d often smile or wink. Usually they appeared : more flattered than offended.
