What is the personality type of Karl Martin? Which MBTI personality type best fits? Personality type for Karl Martin from Lost 2004 and what is the personality traits.
ISFP (6w7)
Karl Martin personality type is ISFP, and I agree with the other commenters who have said that it's a pretty rare personality type, but it's not rare to see ISFPs in political office.
I think it's because people who are ISFPs are often very independent, and most political office is like, "You're the governor, you make the decisions!" (Which is probably why there are so many Republican governors, who are almost always ISFPs, and almost never ENTJs.)
ISFPs are often very straightforward, and they want to do their job well, and they know that they're not like the governor's best friends, or that they're going to get any kudos or praise. It's kind of like, "If people don't like my decisions, they aren't my friends anyway!"
I think ISFPs are also sometimes really good at figuring out what needs to be done. They might not always go with the flow all the time, but they can see where things are headed, and they can kind of just do their job well.
I think that's why Richard Nixon was an ISFP. He was really good at doing the job of president, and he was very straightforward with people.
Johann Karl Ludwig Martin was a German geologist. He was professor in geology at Leiden University from 1877 to 1922. From 1880 to 1922 he also was director of the Geological Museum of Leiden. As a scientist he is known for his paleontological and stratigraphical research on the Cenozoic fauna of the Dutch East Indies, especially on mollusks. Karl Martin was student at Göttingen, where he became PhD in 1874. He then worked as a teacher at Wismar, where he studied the glacial deposits of Northern Europe. He visited the Museum of Natural History at Leiden to see the collection of Winand Staring, thus meeting the zoologist Hermann Schlegel, the director of the museum. When a chair in geology was created at Leiden University in 1877, Schlegel remembered Martin as a good candidate. As a professor at Leiden, Martins' research was on the collections of the Geological Museum, especially on fossils from the Dutch colonies.
