Here is an interesting article on the temperaments of the 7 GOP candidates for president. It's a companion piece to an earlier article on Obama's temperament. Full article is here: http://www.intellectualconservative.com/2011/12/31/republican-temperament-a-guide-to-the-presidential-candidates/
Excerpt: Republican Temperament: A Guide to the Presidential Candidates By Andrew Atkins, on December 31st, 2011
Newt is an engineer, Romney is an administrator, Bachmann is an advocate, Santorum is a conservator, Paul is an organizer, Perry is an operator, Huntsman is an entertainer, and Obama is a mentor.
GOP offers a diverse field for 2012
As the presidential primary race heats up, the seven Republican candidates are fighting to define themselves in the minds of voters. In addition to experience, ideology, electability, and debate performance, temperament has arisen as a key factor by which candidates hope to be distinguished from their opponents.
Until now, “temperament” has served as a nebulous term, used to label candidates as “bomb-throwers,” “revolutionaries,” “executives,” and “flakes.” There has not, however, been any objective analysis of the varying temperaments of the candidates. Such an analysis is possible using the theoretical framework expounded by personality psychologist, David Keirsey, in his book, Presidential Temperament.
Keirsey’s temperament theory posits that every person has 1 of 4 temperament types: Artisan, Guardian, Rational, or Idealist. Furthermore, each of these 4 types can be divided into 2 subgroups, creating a total of 8 archetypes that characterize various personalities.
Fascinatingly, the 7 GOP candidates, plus President Barack Obama, account for all 8 of the archetypes, granting Americans a truly diverse field from which to elect their next president. The following is a breakdown of the candidates by temperament and archetype, including partial lists of other American political figures who have had the same temperaments.

Obama is a mentor??
It’s clear to me that n0bama’s temperament is that of a puppet. Soros is the Puppetmaster and he controls the puppet through the strings of TOTUS.
What a load...
Bashful, Doc, Dopey, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Sneezy
You match ‘em up ;-)
pure crap. There is zero chance that Newt is an intj. ENTP maybe...ESTP probably...this list is just wrong.
Ok. I guess the author is saying that Newt is a perceiver and so was Lincoln. Lincoln was a Judger and not what Newt is.
That caught my eye as well. Occasionally a narcissist may mentor someone. But only if they are making the mentee over in their own image. Besides, who can name anyone in the administration who is/was there because of his mentoring. Only one name comes to mind: Reggie Love. The real mentoring going on in the Obama admin is by Valerie Jarrett.
Can you take it?
“Mentor” was a typo. It was supposed to be “mentula” (Latin slang).
