An improviser. And someone used to working with his hands as an upholsterer.

Rigid Jack expresses his wrathful contempt for cell phones:

Jack White Bans Phones From His Shows

Let's remove cell phones so people put more attention on the concert, as if you can't enjoy a concert while texting on your phone. Sorta reminds me of the rationale for the "no likes" experiment lol.

White micromanaging his fans in this manner is a typical behavior of 1s....to slough off the fun and frills in the name of seriousness (to make the environment conform to a more rigid standard because the current state falls short of the ideal).

Thought Adele was tough on cameras at concerts? Alicia Keys bans phones during her shows

It's far from an isolated incident.

Come on, the guy is so INFP that it's painful to watch. With a well developed Te and a great, at times dark, sense of humor, genuinely enjoying what he does which lets him to be in the moment, always in the flow. This is Kurt Cobain if he never did any dr*gs. He sings in a scraggy, jagged, raw manner. Kinda like Dylan and Kurt(two very well known, classical INFPs). His style of playing is also very infp-like. Scattered, simplistic, concentrating more on the message the song's gonna convey and, again, RAW. His solos even sound noise-rockish a lot of times, you can tell he's not thinking about precise phrasing or which note he's gonna play next. There is no man more authentic, true to himself and his values in the music industry right now. The vinyl, the enveloping with old timey things, the way he dresses... Also, he's been compared to Johnny Depp a gazillion times and almost obsesses over Bob Dylan like I obsess over him... AND Dylan :)

Either this, or i'm just a mistyped INFJ.

He's quite brilliant, whatever it is. His solo work is probably even more amazing than his White Stripes stuff.

I kind of want to claim him as a Ti dom or aux, due to him developing a rigid series of rules and limitations while in the White Stripes. I can't see a Fi type doing that, but maybe that's because of Te? It just seems rather atypical for a musician; I tend to think of them as Fi 4s that hate being pinned down, instead of introducing restrictions when it isn't strictly necessary.

I think of Isaac Brock as a Ti type as well (probably INTP), but for different reasons.
