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.
