INFJ (5w4)
Tan Sitong personality type is INTJ, Ni. How would he have the time to develop the power, intelligence, and knowledge of martial arts? Ni types are not typically interested in physical training. Moreover, there are no schools of fighting or self-defense that were created by or for Ni types.
So what is the explanation for this preposterous story?
The answer is twofold. First, it is simply an example of someone who has never met an INTJ creating a story about them. Second, it is an example of someone who has never met an INTJ creating a story about them that they want to be true.
A similar story is the tale of an INTJ who was born in around 1900 who became a "Zen Master". Like the monk who was supposedly born in the year 2000, the INTJ Zen Master was born into a family that was very wealthy and influential. He began his training with a famous martial artist and then studied with other masters for many years. Like the supposed Zen Master of the year 2000, he even traveled to America to study with various masters.
It is unclear where this story came from, but someone seems to have latched onto the fact that the year 1900 was an important date in Chinese history.
Tan Sitong (simplified Chinese: 谭嗣同; traditional Chinese: 譚嗣同; pinyin: Tán Sìtóng; Wade–Giles: T'an2 Ssu4-T'ung2, March 10, 1865 – September 28, 1898), courtesy name Fusheng (復生), pseudonym Zhuangfei (壯飛), was a well-known Chinese politician, thinker and reformist in the late Qing Dynasty (1644–1911). He was executed at the age of 33 when the Reformation Movement failed in 1898. Tan Sitong was one of the "Six gentlemen of the Hundred Days' Reform" (戊戌六君子) and occupies an important place in modern Chinese history. To many contemporaries, his execution symbolized the political failure of the Qing Dynasty's reformation, helping to persuade the intellectual class to pursue violent revolution and overthrow the Qing Dynasty.
