i was thinking E because of his P. i doubt he is INFP. he could have been an INFJ for all i know though.



i doubt he is S, especially because of his influences towards byron as well as people like albert nobel. an S person wouldn't make ripples like that in history.

Okay. I can see you've thought about this; I'll accept Shelley as ENFP. Blake as INFJ though. :)

When reading about Blake's personal life he does seem more NFP than NFJ.

Blake is all about truth through individuality rather than social systems. He's also fairly fixated on duality in human nature, he finds beauty in it.

Another point that leads me to think INFP vs. INFJ is his engraving, would make more sense that he had tertiary S to draw on than inferior S.

No way on Shelley being enfp..isfp all the way. Keats INFP.

I think it would be hard to type some authors, like Mario Puzo. He wrote The Godfather to appeal to mass audiences because he needed to make money and his first two books while they received high critical acclaim didn't make him very much money. According to what he says, this work is more in line with his true inner vision than Godfather was:

The Fortunate Pilgrim - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mario Puzo on Larry King Live

Still, the S is more likely to sell out to their material needs than the N. Also, from what I gather, his work is very description-heavy in an S like way, with the focus on realism. Although I think my opinion of himis mainly based on how he came across in video interviews. Very SFP in my opinion.

I disagree on that point. N people have eat and pay rent same as S people. :D

Yes, you're right of course that he seems more S than N however. I am just saying as far as typing him in the four letters from a work like Godfather, I think it would be hard.

Just like Poe wrote to appeal to a mass audience and is said to have hated the gothic romance genere.

I take your point, but I'm not typing him on that as I earlier stated.

Really?! Lol. Did he hate the detective genre he invented as well lol?

I wonder if there's a list on that site of other authors they describe. A quick search found a Dickens profile that paints him as an ENFP (correctly).

I haven't found one. You pretty much just have to search for a name and hope they have a profile. *sigh*

First profile I saw on there was Dostovesky's. Very interesting and very INFJ.

INJ at the very least. I heard INFJ.

This should help:
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn relationships

That site is dodgy. The articles have so many contradictions in them. However he seems to come across as INFx in the article. Where did you hear INFJ? I need help on him for sure, as like many on the list of untyped authors, I have read nothing by them and no little or nothing about them.

Well I have read a few biographies of him, including the memoirs of his first wife. She describes him as a quiet, sensitive person, but also one with a despotic streak in him. His studies into mathematics seems may point to NT.

Mathematics can also be ST?

I agree with typing Milan Kundera as INFJ. His writing is a definite example of Ni...layers upon layers of ideas woven together in a way that seems random and perfectly coherent at the same time.
