Personality

What personality type is Ryuichi Sakamoto? Ryuichi Sakamoto is an INFJ personality type in MBTI, 5w4 - so/sp - 541 in Enneagram, RCOAI in Big 5, IEI in Socionics.

He's a social 5, not sp. Just watch Coda or Tokyo Melody, the way he explores abstract ideas is by relating to humanity throught music, sharing his ideals. A quote by him: "In the old days, people shared music; they didn't care who made it. A song would be owned by a village, and anyone could sing it, change the words, whatever. That is how humans treated music until the late 19th century. Now, with the Internet, we are going back to having tribal attitudes towards music." which tells that his focus is communicating, not doing music for just personal fulfillment. The fulfillment is in reaching people in the great picture. Quoting Beatrice Chestnut: "Social fives are looking for the ultimate meaning in life, motivated by an underlying (potentially unconscious) sense that things are meaningless unless the ultimate meaning is found." A very well known quote of the Professor is: "I'm fascinated by the notion of a perpetual sound: a sound that won't dissipate over time. Essentially, the opposite of a piano, because the notes never fade. I suppose, in literary terms, it would be like a metaphor for eternity." Also, very stereotypical but he has been involved in social protests or causes since high school and university. Then he was more on the communist side, now into enviromental crisis.
