Terence McKenna MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Terence McKenna? Terence McKenna is an INFJ personality type in MBTI, 5w4 - so/sx - 548 in Enneagram, in Big 5, ILE in Socionics.
He is an obvious introverted intuition user. Read Jung’s description of the type. He is obsessed with archetypal thinking, dissident and far-out ideas, and the recherché patterns between them. A lot of people interested in typology have this idea that if you are interested in learning and playing with concepts then you are inherently an Ne user. Extroverted intuition is about external possibilities and discovering the direct connection between them and other possibilities. Whereas McKenna takes in vast concepts and learning and knocks them around looking for archetypal patterns and lateral uses of them from his inner storehouse of odd and created patterns. He is internal possibilities personified.
