I'm not going by interviews, but more by the themes of his songs.

Would anyone agree that Trent Reznor is an INTJ? I don't know about the T part, but his lyrics are very Ni; very introspective. And his lyrics are also not very people-oriented, but more about his inner self and desires, which could lead to both a subconscious Fi and Se, making the Te the option of auxiliary function.

Well, I'm going by both :D and I say classic ISFP.

I'm not prepared to argue it though (he isn't famous enough for my purposes), so I'm just stating my call for the record.

he has the INFP thing that Tom Yorke does, but harder or at least more passionate.
i think its Fi tertiary.
INTJ

however, ENTP is very plausible
tertiary Fe inmmatruely detaches from people
as such, INTP is the most introverted of types
and he is very expressive or explosive in a detached way

INFP,ENTP,INTJ
though he looks a lot like an ISFP

Trent's a total INTJ. Maybe a weak "J". At times -- particularly when he's in a bad patch -- he drifts well into INTP territory. He's really just a little nerd.

Still saying INTJ, tertiary Fi can make them really bitchy. Though INTP/INTJ are hard to seperate on outward behaviour alone.

Defiantly INFP. Trent puts up the INTJ front so people can't see his soft side. Listen to hurt/right where it belongs/and all that could have been/the fragile/zero-sum..the wretched. gah, anything. FEELING, the man FEELS to the extreme. He is also very perceptive. He was good at maths at school, he is logical, he engineers his songs, but I'm sure there is a more 'flyaway' side to him, that he represents so well in his songs. Like, beside you in time, for example.

Phew.

I've heard that he was an INFP, but having just watched part of that interview, he doesn't seem very INFP to me.

I do think he's a complete dork though.

But he is correct on this: G is the Perfect Drug.

I think it's because Trent has been through so much, and everything kind of messed with his head. His type might have even changed (On the surface, deep down he'll always be Trent)


YouTube - mtv fuck ups - trent reznor

YouTube - Nine Inch Nails Rare Mcm Uncut 99 Interview

He'll still not completely himself here, because he does do the front thing in interviews, but he is being more honest to himself in these.

I just think that over time he's become extremely guarded.

I've always seen Trent as INTJ.

Very true. I was into his stuff for a while, but I could never fully respect him, because he did almost everything himself instead of using an actual band.
