My pet theory is that INTJ males are prone to extremism. We see it here with this kind of pie-in-the-sky Libertarianism and other fringe views. Not sure why this is, I imagine having a disconnect from the social and emotional parts of life means that its easier to justify very strict and simplistic philosophies that miss out on many nuances. Often that comes with a mix of OCD and ADHD-like behaviors. When push comes to shove, these types may find it easier to justify violence. The amount of revolution talk on libertarian forums is evidence of this. My own life has been a personal struggle against these traits and opening up myself more and more to the softer side of life. Its very easy to pretend your side is "technically correct, thus the best kind of correct" and develop a sort of moral superiority over others, especially if you and your peer group dismiss others as "stupid" because you only value what you perceive as "smarts." Look at how often STEM types dismiss non-STEM fields as useless pedantry. I think in the case of Islamic extremism, its well known that suicide bomber recruiters focus on oddballs and loners. These types have less to lose and may be easier to convert. INTJ males are often have loner traits. These recruiters aren't stupid. They know how to spot these types of weaknesses and use them for their own gain.
