here), so the stereotypes may very well be wrong. 309
Then there's the fact that Harrelson had relationships with a lot of different women—he was
married no less than four times. Harrelson could be quite charming (a word that surprisingly has no
type-related meaning 310 ), as can be readily perceived by the fact that one of his four wives was the
nurse at the prison he was incarcerated at. But the veneer hid a cruel interior. One his girlfriends,
Sandra Sue Attaway, testified that she had travelled all around the country with Harrelson, and by
her own account she was a forced accomplice to one of his murders. He regularly beat her and
threatened to kill her, so eventually she ran away and went into hiding. His last marriage was made
by proxy while he was in prison for life for killing a federal judge.
Does this relationship hopping match typical INTJ behavior? Referring back to the relationship
section, the answer is no. Or how about this statement by a stewardess that Harrelson was hitting
on: "The subject [Harrelson] engaged in conversation with me and asked that I move over and sit by
him, and I did so. We talked about our line of work and he stated that he didn't work, that he just
travels and didn't have to work. I told him that he must have a lot of money since he didn't have to
work. He said, 'I don't really have to work, I prefer to travel and have fun.' ... I questioned him
about this and he did not say what kind of business. I said, 'It could be marijuana,' and he replied 'It
could be.'"
I would say that this bold pursuit of a date sounds more like ESTP behavior than INTJ behavior.
The "travelling around having fun" part also smacks of ESTP.
How about that INTJ calm? After one killing, a friend who was in the car with Harrelson described
the hitman's mental state as follows: "During this period of time I was trying to calm him down, I
was telling him that I was doing exactly what he said and just to tell me what to do. He appeared to
be in a highly emotional state which I cannot adequately describe. It did not appear to be what I
would call fear, but he was in a state of excitement." That doesn't sound particularly composed.
Last but not least—Hollywood often pictures snipers as silent, ruthless, precision killers—not
actually far from the INTJ stereotype, as we shall see in a bit. Harrelson seems like something of a
joke by comparison. For example, here's how one of his contracts played out.
He drove the victim to a remote area in the trunk of his car, then made the poor guy get out and shot
him. Then he dragged the body off the road hoping to find some water to toss it in. He couldn't
find water, so then he rushed back to the car to get a shovel to bury the body. But then when he
returned, the guy wasn't dead, so then Harrelson had to strangle him. And when he tried to dig a
hole, the ground was too hard, so then he had to put the body back in the trunk and drive around
until he could find a ditch with water in it. Should have stuck to the encyclopedias. His style
doesn't not exactly suggest the planning or preparation one would expect from an INTJ.
But all these incidents pale in comparison to the silly line of mistakes that led up to his final capture
for the murder of the federal judge after a massive three year manhunt. Harrelson, who was
understandably rather paranoid at this point, had been mainlining cocaine. In a series of bizarre
fantasies, he became convinced that he was surrounded by spies and hidden bugs. While in this
cocaine-induced frame of mind, he was driving down the road in his Corvette, enjoying a high.
Then his muffler started rattling. He decided to pull over and check it out. After some examination,
he concluded that the rattling was caused by a listening device. So, he decided to get rid of the bug
by shooting it off. He blew out his rear tire instead.
Subsequently motorists began reporting to the police that there was a weird hitchhiker waving a gun
