INTJs: The Vampire Hunting Type?
Increasing vampire awareness has made it more important than ever for the average man to assess
his ability to hunt and destroy bloodsucking creatures of the night. In this chapter, we will seek to
address some questions relating to type and vampires:
1. Do INTJs have a natural advantage when it comes to hunting vampires?
2. Was Dracula an INTJ?
Van Helsing, Vampire Slayer
He is a seemingly arbitrary man, this is because he knows what he is talking about better than any one
else. He is a philosopher and a metaphysician, and one of the most advanced scientists of his day, and he
has, I believe, an absolutely open mind. This, with an iron nerve, a temper of the ice-brook, and
indomitable resolution, self-command, and toleration exalted from virtues to blessings, and the kindliest
and truest heart that beats, these form his equipment for the noble work that he is doing for mankind,
work both in theory and practice, for his views are as wide as his all-embracing sympathy.
If you keep up with the yearly crop of vampire hunting flicks, you're probably familiar with Van
Helsing, a young, hot, crossbow-toting man in a trench coat. This depiction is quite a departure
from Van Helsing's original portrayal in the book Dracula (read here). The 1897 Van Helsing was a
kindly old INTJ physician/professor from the Netherlands. It would be fair to say that he was the
guy that made vampire hunting popular.
In this section we will take a look at the vampire hunting techniques of INTJs, so that you will be
prepared when it becomes necessary to fend them off.
Evidence for INTJ

"his very reticence means that all his brains are working"
• Paused to gather his thoughts before speaking (I)
"He was evidently torturing his mind about something, so I waited for an instant, and he
spoke."
• Willingness to entertain the improbable and unprecedented; open minded (N)
