Type this guy

[Litvyak]

I've been really interested in typing one of my classmates, and I know there are some "professionals" on this forum who can do it better than me. Can't say I really like him (I tend to look at him as a 'rival' of some sorts), but knowing his type will help me to understand and handle him.
Let's start

- he's 18, tall and skinny
- pretty clever, very good grades
- he's wearing comfortable clothes, neat and orderly, doesn't care about fashion at all
- he loves arts, he's reading a lot of poems and novels
- still unsure about what to do with himself after high school
- great conversationalist, sometimes too quiet
- sarcastic, but never cracks a joke
- a lot of hobbies
- he likes to be melancholic (pondering about the "meaningless life")
- lack of self-confidence
- he's writing short stories, mostly for himself

So, what do you think? INFJ? INTJ? INFP? I may add additional information if necessary.

ISFP was my first guess.

Thanks for the input. I'm still not completely familiar with the system (especially in case of sensors), so I didn't think of that possibility. He seems to be too organized for a perceiver and too much of a long-range thinker for a sensor. An insecure intuitive perhaps?

ISFP was my first guess.

No way. I'm thinking ISFJ or INFJ.

I also knew an ESFJ who matched many of those characteristics, though I think he may have been a mistyped introvert.
