i would have guessed 1w2 more than e4. previously had her typed enfj, which i would still think makes sense.

Why 1w2 than 4? In enneagraminstitution.net they had her as a 4, I have to agree. Sometimes fours can look like a 1 especially sp/so or so/sp fours. I'm not saying you're wrong but I can see why they (enneagraminstitution.net) type her as a four.

I think it's pretty funny (given her type) that she's been called a pretentious, angry feminist.

She seems to fit the enfp type by cognitive functions more than the other types in the interviews I've seen of her on youtube.

My impression of her is INFJ with a heady Ni and Fe that seems to be in a tailspin that a love (the bad boyfriends which fueled her songs) would treat her so despairingly.

Not just bad but an undeserving badness which was reciprocated to the goodness she thought she dealt out. I originally thought Fi but the more I thought about it what was seen is a lament of an abused Fe.

She has not the flamboyant and glamorous style of 4w3, she's more simple and quit epured. She is Sx/So and eccentric, can seem extrovert because of this, but is actualkly quite remote: 4w5 INFP.

She doesn't have the withdrawn, heavy aspect of a 4w5 INFP either. That's why I think she's an E.

She's epured, quire, and mellow, quite reflective and analytical too, but above all amotional, without overplaying. She has not the tense energy of 4w3 to project a glamorous, falmboyant and energetic image. If you compare her with real 4w3 like Marc Bolan, Boy George or Judy Garland, it's pretty clear.

[youtube=DmDYYXGMV2w]Judy Garland dispels those nasty addiction rumors[/youtube]

Completely different.

She's self-pres last and is not withdrawing so, and can look extrovert next to you Sp/Sx, but she's iNFP 4w5.

Infj is my guess. Seems to embrace that Se shadow.
