    Sherlock Holmes
    INTP

    INTP (5w6)

    Sherlock Holmes personality type is INTP, but I suspect he has some subtypes as well, since he is so clever. He gets bored with repetitive tasks. He also has some of the Jungian functions, which are quite interesting to me.

    INTPs are more likely to have their birthday on January 19.

    I am an INTP female, and I am fascinated by the personality types. It’s fun to see how people have different perspectives of things. I would also say that I am a pretty free thinker.

    My favorite INTP personality type is Sherlock Holmes. He really represents the independent thinker, the person who cares less about what other people think of him, and more about what he thinks of himself.

    That’s me! I’m an INTP female, but I also have some subtypes of INTP. I think Sherlock Holmes is super cool.

    I’m an INTJ male, and my favorite type is Sherlock Holmes. He’s a very interesting person, but I wouldn’t say that he’s very friendly or social, because he doesn’t care about other people’s feelings. He’s often quite blunt.

    Sherlock Holmes is a fictional detective created by British author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Referring to himself as a "consulting detective" in the stories, Holmes is known for his proficiency with observation, deduction, forensic science, and logical reasoning that borders on the fantastic, which he employs when investigating cases for a wide variety of clients, including Scotland Yard. First appearing in print in 1887's A Study in Scarlet, the character's popularity became widespread with the first series of short stories in The Strand Magazine, beginning with "A Scandal in Bohemia" in 1891; additional tales appeared from then until 1927, eventually totalling four novels and 56 short stories. All but one are set in the Victorian or Edwardian eras, between about 1880 and 1914.
