Hero of Alexandria Personality Type

INFJs are the Extraverted Idealists of the MBTI system. They are the selfless leaders who are willing to sacrifice their own needs to maintain the greater good. They are often seen as the personification of altruism and the embodiment of humanity’s best qualities.

The INFJs’ humanitarianism is reflected in their intense concern for other people. They are driven by a desire to help people reach their full potential. This is expressed through their work and other activities in their lives. They can go out of their way to make sure other people are happy and fulfilled.

Hero of Alexandria (Greek: Ἥρων ὁ Ἀλεξανδρεύς, Heron ho Alexandreus; also known as Heron of Alexandria c. 10 AD – c. 70 AD) was a mathematician and engineer who was active in his native city of Alexandria, Roman Egypt. He is considered the greatest experimenter of antiquity and his work is representative of the Hellenistic scientific tradition. Hero published a well-recognized description of a steam-powered device called an aeolipile (sometimes called a "Hero engine"). Among his most famous inventions was a windwheel, constituting the earliest instance of wind harnessing on land. He is said to have been a follower of the atomists. Some of his ideas were derived from the works of Ctesibius. Much of Hero's original writings and designs have been lost, but some of his works were preserved - mostly in manuscripts from the Eastern Roman Empire, and a smaller part in Latin or Arabic translations.
