Are you a fan?

 

[Qlip]

Yes, this is one of my favorites:

That's not Dylan.

ISFP 5w4 Sx/Sp I think.

 

[plastic ciel]

Tangled Up In Blue is my jam.

Anyway, echoing Evee. Definite ISFP without any doubt, with a handle on his Ni. I think his 4 is stronger than 5, though.

Love Bob. He's so fascinating, lol.

 

[Evee]

INFP?

 

[Julius_Van_Der_Beak]

Bob Dylan is an ISFP, I think. But he makes a great deal of sense to me as a person. He was largely viewed as a traitor to the folk music scene for going electric, and later for having cynicism towards many of the protest movements. He wasn't the same person in '69 than he was in '61, and people hated that. They wanted him to fit their image of him as an idealistic prophet that he no longer was, if he had ever truly been that person to begin with.

 

[Evee]

I don't think he's an ISFP anymore. He is obviously an intuitive, lol.

INFP 5w4 Sx/Sp.

 

[Julius_Van_Der_Beak]

He's a confirmed ISFP, sorry.

 

[wolfy]

Lol, there is always an argument about Dylan's type. isfp vs infj usually. I like Dylan.

 

[Fun in the Sun]

He's alright. Not really into his music. I like how he is nonchalant with his art. He doesn't take his lyrics too seriously. Something I appreciate as an artist. I like it when other people attribute meaning to what I do. I'm like, "that's cool, I never thought about that" or "sure, that's what I meant "

 

[plastic ciel]

He's a confirmed ISFP, sorry.

I believe he's an ISFP for sure. But he took the test? I had no idea.

Oh, that's just a reference to an old member.

Continuing on:

I would say ISFP because like Fun In the Sun said, he doesn't really take his lyrics all that seriously. Like he said some of them aren't even metaphorical, he just makes them up with lyric slips from his box. Also, when you read about him and his life, he seems more Sensor. Like when he randomly decided he wanted to do slapstick, wrote a script, showed up in a cowboy outfit, and decided that slapstick was too "slapsticky". I think that sounds more Se than Ne.

 

[plastic ciel]

Oh okay.

 

[Julius_Van_Der_Beak]

Oh okay.

Yeah, it's not really worth worrying about.

Not sure what may have prompted the dramatic change, but perhaps Bob Dylan simply reeled in his personal feelings/thoughts for self-preservation (the senseless political murders in the 60's may have shaken him up a bit).
