I was recently astounded to find that this isn't the first time that I've seen this type described as the Stranger.

The first time I saw it called the "Stranger" was by Jessica Bambrough in her book "The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator" (published in 1985) where she listed the "Stranger" as a possible description of the ENFP type.
