Personality

What personality type is Stephen Sondheim? Stephen Sondheim is an INTJ personality type in MBTI, 4w5 - - 451 in Enneagram, RCUAI in Big 5, ILI in Socionics.

He was said to be so sarcastic and dry that his college classmates were intimidated by him, but his professors loved how cynical and creative he was. Very goal-oriented from a young age, he made friends with Hammerstein's son (of Rodgers and Hammerstein) just so that he could be mentored under Hammerstein. Sondheim was so intensely focused on his goal that he and Hammerstein wrote musicals together for training and for fun as a child. Later in life, he's been described as solitary, sarcastic, and hard to get to know. If that isn't NiTeFi, I don't know what is.
