#TYPES OF SERIAL KILLERS SERIAL#
Would love to debate about this with someone else who’s as interested in serial killers and MBTI as I am. I think those are all the patterns I’ve noticed for now.
All four of the cult leaders I typed, with the exception of one (Charles Manson) were ENFJs.
Female serial killers are classified into the following nine categories. The 'Angel of Death' often kills the sick, invalid, or vulnerable to control and dominate. Female Serial Killers are most seen in the role of a medical nurse, home aide, caretaker, or doctor. The serial killers who evaded capture the longest were usually ISTJs (BTK, Gary Leon Ridgway, Andrei Chikatilo, Russell Williams, etc) all got away with their crimes for 10+ years before they were caught.Ħ. Common Professions of a Female Serial Killer. Eveybody thinks that INTJs were the quintessential serial killers, but in fact every INTJ killer that I managed to identify were not your typical serial killer - they were almost universally mass or spree killers who were doing it to send a message to society (Anders Breivik, the Unabomber, Eric Harris, Varg Vikernes, etc).ĥ. Tracing all the way back to the prehistoric roots of serial homicide more than 15,000 years ago, Vronsky focuses the bulk of his examination on sexual serial killers who murdered their victims for pleasure instead of politics or powerand how the psychological and social evolution of these killers has changed how society has viewed them. Both of the INFP serial killers that I could identify had paranoid schizophrenia (Herbert Mullins and Richard Trenton Chase).Ĥ. However, both of the “true” female serial killers I found (who killed because they genuinely enjoyed and were aroused by it, lust killing in the same way that men do) were ESTPs (Aileen Wuornos and Joanna Dennehy).ģ. The vast majority of the female serial killers were passive-aggressive poisoning high Fe-types. They also tend to be the kind who are the biggest freaks ever and have the most bizarre, obscure fetishes (Ed Gein, Jeffrey Dahmer, Albert Fish, etc).Ģ. ISFPs are surprisingly over-represented among serial killers. Interesting trends I noticed with respect to serial killers and MBTI type:ġ. Sada Abe (technically not a serial killer) - ISFP Ian Brady and Myra Hindley - INTP and ESFJ (not nearly as confident about this typing as I am about some of the others on here. Osama bin Laden - Celebrity Types has him listed as INFJ, I’m pretty sure he s INFP.
The Silent Twins (not serial killers, but a very interesting psychological case) - both INFJs Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka: ESTP and ESFJ, respectivelyįred and Rose West - ESTP and ISFP, respectively (not as confident about this typing as the others) However, while many serial killers continue to evade police, mass murderers stop killing and, in many. The characteristics of serial killers include psychopathy, impulsive behavior, lack of remorse, manipulative tendencies, risk-taking behavior, etc. Genene Jones (killed via Munchausen by proxy) - ESTJ Serial murder and mass murder are two most violent crimes. Most of the most famous documented serial killers were active in the 20th or 21st century-coinciding both with increased public interest in serial killers’ stories, as well as with a heightened understanding of what motivates them, how they develop, and how, perhaps, their violent crimes can be prevented.Columebine Killers (Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold) - INTJ and INFP, respectively
Though Jack the Ripper-an unidentified murderer who was active in the late 19th century-is often called the "first modern serial killer," the term “serial killer” itself was popularized in the latter half of the 20th century, when such murderers began to receive more significant media attention and drew heightened focus from increasingly sophisticated law enforcement agencies. In ancient and medieval times-long before the concept of a “serial killer” entered popular parlance-such murders were often thought to be the work of monsters, werewolves, or witches when they were caught, many serial killers of the time were accused of (or even confessed to) committing the murders for " supernatural" purposes. Historians argue that serial killers have existed throughout history.
