George S. Patton
SLE-D "Conqueror" General · American · 20th c.US Army General (1885–1945). In World War II he drove through North Africa, Sicily, France, and Germany in lightning campaigns — earning the nickname "Old Blood and Guts." The general the German High Command feared most. His post-war remarks about fighting the Soviets led to his dismissal. Dying in a car accident in December 1945, he remains the supreme American archetype of the brilliant, reckless, unstoppable battlefield commander.
Leading Function-Se-p (Victory & Dominance)
"Victory is the only interest" — commandeering supplies, disobeying orders, lying — all "for victory." "I captured Trier with two divisions. Do you want me to give it back?" to Eisenhower. The general the Nazis feared most.
Creative Function+Ti-c (Precision & Thoroughness)
Precisely integrating cavalry and armoured tactics — "mobile warfare logic pushed to its extreme." Memorising allied positions days ahead, answering verbally while staff were still searching through papers (aide testimony). Responding at the Battle of the Bulge in the minimum possible time.
Vulnerable Function 1-Fi-p weak (Compassion & Consideration)
Weak -Fi-p: "the slapping incident" — hitting a soldier suffering from combat fatigue (actually malaria) and threatening to shoot him. The textbook example of complete insensitivity to personal suffering.
Vulnerable Function 2+Ne-c weak (Hypothesis & Imagination)
Weak +Ne-c: the remark "let's fight the Soviets too" causing post-war dismissal — weak long-term political vision. Strong at "short-term thinking to defeat the current enemy" but weak at "designing the post-war world order."
Quadra / Temperament / Club
Quadra: Beta Quadra (Empire) — "love of war" and "yearning for historical heroism" — "I was a general in my past life too" (believing he carried Napoleon's soul). "Britain and America should dominate the world."
Temperament: Flexible-Maneuvering temperament: Blitzkrieg, supply commandeering, disobeying orders — choosing no means for victory. Flexibility in "interpreting" conservative superiors' constraints to break through them.
Club: Pragmatist Club — military history, horsemanship, spear throwing — "running the machine of war at maximum efficiency" as the single focus. Personally maintaining poetry and painting as hobbies while "organisation, supply, and mobility" on the battlefield.
Worldview & Attitude
"Attack is the best defence" — a worldview of structural danger where only offensive power guarantees survival.
Attitude toward Change: Executing the Normandy breakthrough and the Battle of the Bulge as realistic plans — the supreme tactical executor of the Allied victory in Europe.
