My guess, Hillary Clinton is an INTJ an arch type based on the Myers-Briggs test. The meaning of introversion/extroversion is where you go to get charged up. I have been seeing some recent articles that Hillary has had some down time between events.

Also INTJs are “extroverted” when it comes to understanding the world around them. Her INTJ personality arch type would be an asset as secretary of state or other similar position.
