How come everyone thinks Klaus is an E? He's very aggressive, yes, but I think the way he throws himself into his art and is very precise screams introvert.

The whole idea of creating an army of hybrids sounds very Extrovert-ish to me + his communication style.
Klaus' "sociopathy" comes from his Instinctual Stacking - Sp/Sx. Not sure about his Enneagram type though.
Any ideas?

Honestly, Damon is the most clear ENTP on the show for me. Klaus, when I was trying to type him, I thought ENTP first, but I actually think ENTJ. He really seems to operate with Te - making in the moment decisions - like killing the wolfpack... a sudden "must be done" thing that he simply went and did. The remorse is that he no longer has a pack, not that he has been continuously thinking of alternatives... Te remorse is really different than Ti remorse. Also, Ti is much slower. Klaus knows his own mind a little too well, if you know what I mean - he doesn't second guess himself, he changes because he has been convinced (Te), not because he keeps the door open to changing his mind (Ti). I also see him having Fi in that he doesn't seem to wear his emotions on his sleeve like Fe tends to have. Also, ENTJ likes minions - A LOT. ENTP is a little more lone wolf that people just tend to minionize themselves to... ENTPs don't MAKE minions. If they have them, it is by accident. ENTJ is the field marshall/executive, minions are their bread and butter - stereotypically they need a "posse." As for art. Frankly, any type can get into art. I do find it telling, though, that it is more about him "using art" (he seems to dust off his ability to get somewhere with someone...), and less about art using him. He is "social" with his art - a "look at me! I am deeper than you think" - which does seem quite extrovert to me...

I can see Klaus possibly being ENTJ, but I think he may still have Fe though he tries to mask it very well, so he can still be ENTP of ENFJ even. You brought up some very good points though.
