Oliver (Ollie) Larrson personality type is INTP, but he is not a “pure” type.
Larrson’s personality type is the one personality type most of us associate with the INTP label. Indeed, Larrson’s cognitive style, theorized by Isabel Myers in the early 20th century and brilliantly explored by Howard Gardner in his theory of multiple intelligences (see this post by my friend Ben Heine), is one of the most widely-studied.

introverted thinking (Ti)
intellectual rigor (Int)
