“He was keenly aware of social position and the important part that money played in it. In fact, the abiding (and unrealistic) dream of his life — at least superficially — was to achieve a status of economic well-being that would last a lifetime. … He joined the British Merchant Navy at the age of sixteen and though he rose steadily through the ranks, this sort of step-by-step advancement grew progressively less appealing to his flamboyant personality. … He felt that success [in the Antarctic] would open the door to fame, then riches. In a very real sense he needed it — something so enormous, so demanding that it provided a touchstone for his monstrous ego and implacable drive. Thus, while Shackleton was undeniably out of place in a great many everyday situations, he had a talent — a genius, even — that he shared with only a handful of men throughout history — genuine leadership.” His idealism and tenacity shows strong Ni-Se. He was, as a shipmate recorded, "a departure from our usual type of young officer", content with his own company though not aloof, "spouting lines from Keats [and] Browning", a mixture of sensitivity and aggression but sympathetic. He had a particular charisma, suitable for an Fe-dom. Enneagram argument in a reply.
