Donald Fagen MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Donald Fagen? Donald Fagen is an INTJ personality type in MBTI, 6w5 - so/sx - 513 in Enneagram, RCOEI in Big 5, LII in Socionics.
Edit-He's TeFi-"Further complicating INTJs’ social life is their use of Extraverted Thinking (Te). The majority of males, at least in the United States, are TP types, all of who use Extraverted Feeling (Fe) rather than Te. This gives TPs (including the INTP) a leg up when it comes to casually connecting with others in social situations. TPs often enjoy social situations (at least for a stint), which grant them opportunities to showcase or sharpen their social chops. By contrast, INTJs, along with other Te types, often loathe unfamiliar social situations. They find it painfully difficult to “rub elbows” or engage in any measure of “small talk” with strangers. This further intensifies their sense of being “different” from their peers."-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXhUoP9tJGU. an Introvert and an Intuitive so he has to be an INTJ. WR: WHERE DID THE NAME KAMAKIRI COME FROM? DONALD FAGEN: I figured a few years in the future the Japanese would still be involved in auto manufacturing, and I wanted a Japanese name." "Fagen is both chronically shy and manically nervous. Answering a question, he not only refuses to look you in the eye but won't even stare you in the stomach. He spends most of the time gazing at a point somewhere around shoe level. And the level of his own shoes at that. His every sentence is a maternity ward of pregnant pauses and, throughout a forty minute interview, he exhibits his discomfort with a constant tap-tapping of the table with the palms of both hands. His one attempt at pouring himself a coffee refill from the hotel tray was aborted in an embarrassing clatter of cups, saucers, pot and boiling liquid." NTJ seems to fit him best but I'm honestly not sure. Walter Becker is a lot easier to type, an archetypal INTP. (He's future oriented, does concept albums, uses metaphors and is a perfectionist) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zx_4fwOfRXI&t=335s "(The album is a futuristic, optimistic eight-song cycle about the journey of the narrator in his high-tech car, the Kamakiri (Japanese for praying mantis). "It was just hard for me to be able to synthesize you know what I was going through at the time in to some kind of art."- Ni is a synthesizing function)" Fi in there too when talking about not releasing albums that has no meaning for him.. "My writing is really intuitive" Inferior Se- "Now why the hell would I want to increase the volume of my *********** ? They can already hear me in the apartment next door.. According to Von Franz the introverted intuitive has particular trouble in the area of sex. Such types are not the worlds greatest lovers, simply because they have so little sense of what is happening in their own bodies or that of their partners. At the same time, they are inclined to have a prurient nature- reflecting the inferior and primitive sensation function- and through lack of judgment will come out with coarse and socially inappropriate sexual illusions."
