Are the ENTJ, INTJ, ESTJ and ISTJ the most Analytical and Linear Thinking?

[DrGregoryHouse]

Which of the 16 MBTI types are analytical and linear thinkers?

Do you agree with my list? If not please reorganize and share:

Analytical and Linear Thinking:
ENTJ, INTJ, ESTJ, ISTJ,

Analytical and Linear Thinking, but only if it serves an immediate, pressing need:
INTP, ENTP, ISTP, ESTP

Possibly Analytical and Linear Thinking:
INFJ, ENFJ

Not Analytical but Linear Thinking:
ISFJ, ESFJ

Analytical but not Linear Thinking:
INFP, ENFP, ISFP, ESFP

Thus if I were going to hire an analytical and linear thinker to solve problems efficiently in terms of time and money...ideally I'd look for an ENTJ, INTJ, ESTJ, or ISTJ?

I think you should put some types in "neither" to improve the symmetry and elegance of your model.

Good idea. Care to implement?

I think it's common consensus that INTJ's have the most linear thinking models, but then when taking in consideration of analysis, INTPs might trump them a bit. The Ni-Te of an INTJ allows them to zone in and focus like an arrow, while an INTP's Ti-Ne let's them explore and pan out.

I'm not sure how an ENTJ works, but the impression I usually get is that they simply 'bruteforce' their way through things. They usually can't analyze their own feelings because they've never really taken the time to, and so on. Typologically speaking they're just an inside out version of an INTJ, so it's probably their tertiary that allows them to brute (Se).

ESTJ's and ISTJ's on the other hand I think are, (since they're Si/Te-dom/aux), able to 'analyze' because of their use depository memory bank that is Si. I'd think they're more experience based rather than simply analytical. But then I guess you can be analytical if you have a ton of experience.

But then again INTP's have Si as their tertiary, so maybe an INTP is the one to go for, since they have the Ne ability plus the memory/experience bank of Si.

If you're looking for people to hire I think this graph might be of interest:

The categorization is better here, I think, though it's bit of a tangent from what's been outlined.
(The 'Explorer' quadrant might be the analytical/linear-thinking region)

I don't know what those would be. The meanings of "analytical" and "linear" escape me since i have unknowingly conducted an experiment to disprove my deepest convictions, becoming dumb in the process.

If linear means sequential and analytical means parameter-defining/variable-isolating i would put NFP's in the neither camp.

Analysis is relative. I'd imagine that certain types of thought are biased into deconstructing the products of other specific types of thought in a somewhat ouroboros-like manner.
