I’m not sure whether you’re asking for a list of monarchs that fit each type, or a brief description of each type’s potential as a monarch. So… I’ll do a combo of both for the monarchs I know that fit the mold. These are mostly English, since I’m an anglophile history fanatic, and include royal consorts. Do Caesars count?

STJ: principled, dutiful, distrustful of massive shifts, detailed, driven, protective of the status quo, disapproving of their heirs misbehaving. ;) Henry VII, Katharine of Aragon, King Edward VI, Lady Jane Grey, Mary I, King George III, Victoria, ‘Bertie’ (George VI), Elizabeth II, Frederick the Great. (If you include non-monarchs, I’d include George Washington, John Adams, and maybe Abigail Adams – I’m not sure whether Fe/Te.)

STP: bold, larger than life active ‘doers’ and ‘triers’ who refused to sit idle on their throne and got their hands dirty in the trenches of warfare and/or through deliberate action for immediate impact. Alexander the Great, King Richard I, King Edward IV, Henry VIII, Ferdinand of Aragon, King Francis I, Prince Phillip. (If you include non-monarchs, I’d include Mark Antony, and Cesare Borgia. Richard III was also ISP, IMO with an unclear T/F axis.)

SFJ: pragmatic, people-focused humanitarians, emphasis on family, tradition, and social appropriateness / doing what is ‘expected’ of them. Elizabeth of York, Elizabeth Bowes Lyon (The Queen Mother), Jane Seymour, Prince William, Kate Middleton (the last two are guesses based on what little I know of their image).

SFP: bold, larger than life active ‘doers’ who are known as flamboyant and extroverted, focused on living true to their passions, and not wanting to stifle themselves to conform to traditional thinking. Nero, Marie Antoinette, Anne Boleyn, Catherine Howard, Peter the Great (of Russia), Princess Margaret. (If you include non-monarchs, I’d include Michelangelo and Georgiana Cavendish.)

NTJ: long-term thinkers devoted to defying status norms, sometimes out of touch with the real world, but always ruthless strategists / defiant against social norms, sometimes power hungry. Eleanor of Aquitaine (this or ESTJ), Isabella of Spain, Elizabeth I, Prince Albert (INTJ). (If you allow non-monarchs, I’d include Napoleon, Julius Caesar, Rodrigo Borgia, Nikola Telsa, William Pitt, Martin Luther, and Thomas Jefferson.)

NTP: heavily visionary thinkers who often had a deep interest in science and/or technological advancements and scads of additional interests and vocational fascinations beyond the throne. Catherine the Great, perhaps? (Non-monarch examples include Leonardo da Vinci, Benjamin Franklin, Abraham Lincoln, Charles Darwin, Marie Curie, Alexander Hamilton, and Albert Einstein.)

NFJ: long-term visionaries dedicated to changing / shaping their nation in sometimes non-universal or imaginative ways, though not always with their feet on the ground. Alexander II of Russia. I’m welcome to suggestions. (Non-monarchs include the Marquis de Lafayette, Dr. Benjamin Rush, Carl Jung, William Wilberforce, Gandhi.)

NFP: shorter-term visionaries heavily focused on transforming society through cultivating large-scale change, with a humanitarian bent based on individual passions. Sometimes whimsical or overly idealistic, more often leaning toward language and shaping culture through art or literature. I welcome suggestions. (Non-monarchs include William Shakespeare, Sir Thomas More, Charles Dickens, Mark Twain, Virginia Wolfe, John Milton, Oscar Wilde, William Blake.)
