Famous INTJs

My next article will provide a description of the INTJ personality type.  First, I will provide a list of famous (real and fictional) INTJs to provide examples.  It will be soon apparent that INTJs aren't the most lovable of personality types but many of these people have made great contributions.  I am including some villains as part of full disclosure and want to make it very clear that I don't condone their actions.  Even though I respect the intelligence and accomplishments of some of the people below, I don't necessarily agree with them in many aspects.

Take Bobby Fischer for example:  He was one of the most amazing and dedicated chess players that has ever lived but I extremely intolerant of his racism.

Also remember that some people may be misclassified as people don't wear an INTJ patch on their shirt so these may include incorrect educated guesses.
