Hubert Selby Jr. MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Hubert Selby Jr.? Hubert Selby Jr. is an INFJ personality type in MBTI, 9w8 - - in Enneagram, in Big 5, IEI in Socionics.
He seems like such a nice guy, despite all the terrible things he wrote about. At first I thought he was an ISFP or INFP because of his style and subject matter, his focus on life in New York as he saw it. But I can't say I see Fi dominant in him anymore. His was more concerned with giving a voice to the people he sympathized with (Ni-Fe) as opposed to giving voice to the life he lived himself (Fi-Se). He focused on the tangible reality around him, and his writing style came from trying to get his writing to accurately reflect the sensory environment he was writing about. I see this as Se (even if repressed) rather than Ne.
