himself into an INTJ. Maybe INTs aren't the only types good at surviving in prison. Who knows?<br />

Maybe there are even people capable of changing their type as demanded by the situation.<br />

Mordecai Heller – A Feline Hitman<br />

Never fear, even if Harrelson was a dud, there are plenty of other INTJ criminals to study.<br />

Remember how the Hollywood hitman/sniper is the archetypal INTJ? It just so happens that one<br />

such character can be found in the Lackadaisy webcomic, a series that has won no less than eight<br />

Web Cartoonists' Choice Awards. I know of no better example of this archetype.<br />

Lackadaisy is set in St. Louis during the 1920s Prohibition, a time when alcohol was forbidden in<br />

the United States. The comic revolves around the competition between two groups of bootleggers,<br />

one consisting of a sympathetic, down-on-their-luck group and the other more ruthless and<br />

prosperous. This being the internet, all the characters are cats.<br />

Mordecai Heller (a member of the more ruthless group) dressed like a feline member of the<br />

Gestapo, with little round glasses, a trench coat, and a neatly tucked in tie.<br />
