I think Beyoncè is an ISFJ. Probably a 9.
Sasha Fierce is the ESFP
Bumping a year old thread, but totally agree. I've been obsessed with
Beyoncé (the album) lately, and having learned more about Beyoncé herself, I feel almost sure that she's ISFJ. She's an ISFJ who had extremely demanding stage parents and got where she is through relentless dedication and practice. One has only to watch the HBO documentary about her last tour to see how much Fe and Si she has -- super image-conscious and traditional in her values. Motherhood, dedication to her family, dedication to her fans...those are the things that drive her. She's reserved and introverted in interviews, but opens up (and lights up, really) when talking about her roles as wife, mother, sister. This feels very Si to me:
I see music. It's more than just what I hear. When I'm connected to something, I immediately see a visual, or a series of images that are tied to a feeling or emotion, a memory from my childhood, thoughts about life, my dreams or my fantasies...and they're all connected to the music. And I think it's one of the reasons why I wanted to do a visual album. I wanted people to hear the songs with the story that's in my head, because that's what makes it mine. That vision in my brain is what I wanted people to experience the first time.
I'm totally digging
Beyoncé and see it as a big step out of her comfort zone, but the album still has one toe in a comfortable, traditional place. She's sexy and raunchy, but her comfort with expressing her sexuality seems rooted in being in a secure, monogamous relationship and her role as wife. Musically, the album is much more expansive and different, but it doesn't break new ground -- what's new and fun for Beyoncé owes a lot to the previous stylings of M.I.A., Rhianna, etc. I suspect that Bey sees music as her way of connecting with people and to her own past, and isn't likely driven by expressing her internal values/vision the way an SFP might be. And I think those are things that I actually really connect to about her music. Just my impressions.
