• Disliked things like tablecloth wrinkles and poorly folded napkins—a case of obsessive
compulsive personality behavior (ISTJ, then INTJ most favored) 313
When police visit a crime site, they record all sorts of
data ("trademarks") that indicate a criminal's favorite
modus operandi. For example, they will note if the
criminal tends to use excessive explosives or leave
their tools behind. One of the items I was amused to
learn that they recorded on such reports is whether or
not the criminal is "neat (cleans up debris)." And in
fact, Mordecai was traced to one of his crime sites by
the fact that he tidied up after committing the deed.
That should be a lesson for you, INTJs.
Another type-specific aspect of Mordecai's modus
operandi can be seen in his preferred method for
gunning people down. He is shown killing opponents
with one well-placed shot of his pistol—a minimal
expenditure of force for maximum effect. This is a
good example of a Rational minimax solution.
Despite being totally impassive, Mordecai is portrayed
as the nastiest customer in the series, being described
with adjectives like "terrifying," "creepy," "scary," and
"ferocious." Rumor had it that his unique personality
was the result of brain damage after getting shot, but of
course it is common practice in fiction to attribute
type-based behaviors to things other than type.
As long as we're on the subject of obsessive compulsive behaviors. Mordecai had a thing about
symmetry, or "geometric spacial harmony" as he called it. He also cared a great deal about
cleanliness; he once killed a compatriot with a sinus problem for the crime of getting snot
everywhere. A study of type and personality disorders list found that the preferences I, S, T, and J
were more likely to be associated with symptoms of OCPD (obsessive compulsive personality
disorder). 314 INTJs have 3 out of these 4 traits and are the most OCPD of the Rationals.
What about Mordecai's INTJ death glare? One person described his attempt at attracting the
opposite sex with his gaze as trying to say "I would like to murder your family with an icepick."
Do INTJs Commit a Lot of Crimes?
On the surface, an INTJ's disregard for social conventions and undeserving authority figures might
seem like the perfect criminal mentality. Actually, the reverse seems to be true.
One study of 78 prisoners in a prison-diversion, work-release program found that INTJs were
actually underrepresented—in fact, none of the prisoners were INTJs. The only other type that did
not appear in the sample were the INFJs. 315
