Johnny Marr MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Johnny Marr? Johnny Marr is an ISFP personality type in MBTI, 9w1 - sp/sx - 945 in Enneagram, RCUAI in Big 5, SEI in Socionics.
He does have very 9-ish qualities. Oftentimes when he’s ask to speak about Morrissey he actively avoids it or is pretty brief despite how close they used to be, and this is probably because of both their political and creative differences. Here, for example, when asked about him he seems pretty coy about it. https://youtu.be/p0783yB5_V4 Not saying that’s his only 9 quality but it is something I’ve picked up on other than the “chill and plays guitar” vibe He seems pretty Se aux based off of this as well: The Messenger album has a central theme of the environments you live in shaping the person you are. Marr explained to The Sun: "It's about how the ideas you have leaving school are pretty much the ideas that stick with you. The notions that I had about music, work, teachers, politicians have not changed. It's about life and being wide awake and having energy in the life around you." I think his Ni is particularly strong for an ISFP and as he has a 5 fix, he’s more prone to analysis and comes off as INFJ-ish sometimes. That being said, I believe his Ni is more conscious than his Se which seems to come more naturally based off of a lot of descriptions I’ve read. He speaks in very simple and ambiguous terms sometimes, which to others seem strange but to him they perfectly make sense. A passage from his book: “‘What else do you like?’ … I wanted to give her a genuine answer, so after pausing to think for a minute I said, ‘Colours.’… My answer about colours and bikes and clothes wasn’t actually as abstract as it sounded. I’d become fascinated by colours, and I would obsess about a specific shade of green or blue in the way that I did about songs.” Seems quite Se-Ni to me.
