Been a while since I read the book, but from what I remember...
Holden - INFP
Phoebe - ISFJ
Mr. Antolini - INTP
Stradlater - ESTP
End of thread.
Sex is something I really don't understand too hot. You never know where the hell you are. I keep making up these sex rules for myself, and then I break them right away. Last year I made a rule that I was going to quit horsing around with girls that, deep down, gave me a pain in the ass. I broke it, though, the same week I made it - the same night, as a matter of fact. ~J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye, Chapter 9
I mean most girls are so dumb and all. After you neck them for a while, you can really watch them losing their brains. You take a girl when she really gets passionate, she just hasn't any brains. ~J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye, Chapter 13
I dunno, I'd put him down more as an ENFP with very developed Fi. He just keeps seeking out people throughout the book, even when he doesn't particularly like them or have anything he wants to say to them. He can't seem to stand being on his own.
HAve you seen my avater? Holden wishes for isolation.
Alrighty. So I just read this book for the first time ??? in spite of the fact I believe it was assigned to me in highschool (I must have somehow merely winged the coursework /enfp)...and while yes...I did consider Holden an INFP for say...the first 5 pages...that certainly didn't last. And now I believe I am one of the only people on the planet that believes Holden is an ISTP. Actually...there are a few people arguing for ISTP in this thread but it appears most people think he is INFP (some even agrue for some sort of depressed ENFP) and I just don't see it. Okay...so I guess that is all I wanted to say. Just wanted to acknowledge somewhere that I finally read this 'goddamn book'.
Yeah, he's a blatant INFP.
