From here:The Emma Brockes interview: Björk | | Guardian Unlimited Arts

Before her involvement with Unicef, Björk was suspicious of organised fund-raising in the same way that she disdained organised politics, or organised anything which required more people than could fit in one room.
"I'm really weird like that. I blame it on the punk background. We were so ... what's the right word for it? I guess a bad word for it would be 'holistic'. You know, this idea that you make your own poster and you glue it up and you carry your equipment. And even though it's a long time since I put a poster on the wall, I have to tell you, I have that background, and I'm still working with the same people I've been working with since I was 16. I have a feeling for the whole picture."
Björk's eccentricity is, despite its eye-rolling silliness, generally perceived as a sign of her sincerity rather than the grim "wackiness" contrived by duller musicians. At the Oscars five years ago she wore a dress, a costume really, designed by Marjan Pejoski in the shape of a swan, and left eggs all down the red carpet. She wasn't rebelling; she just liked the dress.

On emotions and "You've got happy, sad, angry, confused, and then all the 50,000 other colours that a human feels. And if one song is just about turquoise blue - that can mean a lot of things; that [can mean the way] you feel about apples, and your brother, and your wooden bed from your childhood. And you would sing about that in one song, and people might say, 'Oh, it's about her boyfriend.' But that's OK. It doesn't matter. What's important is that I capture that turquoise-blue thing. If I do my job right. I guess I look at it more like that. As kind of ... abstract".

I conclude I'm pretty certain Bjork is an Introvert, I'm also very certain she is of Feeling preference. I think she is possibly an N and a P. She seems to use metaphor a lot, and she seems to make lots of big connections. She's focused on the general feel of her music. She talks about liking surprise and how her life just seems to go with the flow. She is also seemingly quite against organisations as a whole, feeling quite suspicious of them. She seems to operate very strongly from her emotions and values which seem to be linked to family, purity, integrity, lack of corruption. There is a seriousness but also a free spirited child-like ness that just for some reason makes me think she is most likely infp. She also reminds me of Johnny Depp in the way she presents herself.

Being that I'm infp I think it's important to note that I'm probably somewhat biased...ahem
