INTP (4w5)
Marvin the Paranoid Android personality type is INTP, judging from his rigid logic and disregard for authority. He's also known to be quite creative, so he's probably ENTP.
Ironically, the Marvin in question is a robot which is almost exclusively proven not to have any emotions, but the fact that his creator is a robot means he's more likely an INTP.
(Note: This page is about Marvin the Paranoid Android, not the Marvin from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. In that book, Marvin is an ENTP. In the Hitchhiker's series, Marvin is a more complex character with a lot of conflicting traits. However, I believe that Marvin's creator is an INTP, and that Marvin is an ENTP.
Marvin the Paranoid Android is a fictional character in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series by Douglas Adams. Marvin is the ship's robot aboard the starship Heart of Gold. Originally built as one of many failed prototypes of Sirius Cybernetics Corporation's GPP technology, Marvin is afflicted with severe depression and boredom, in part because he has a "brain the size of a planet" which he is seldom, if ever, given the chance to use. Instead, the crew request him merely to carry out mundane jobs such as "opening the door". Indeed, the true horror of Marvin's existence is that no task he could be given would occupy even the tiniest fraction of his vast intellect. Marvin claims he is 50,000 times more intelligent than a human, though this is, if anything, an underestimation.
