Personality

What personality type is Søren Kierkegaard? Søren Kierkegaard is an INFP personality type in MBTI, 4w5 - so/sp - 461 in Enneagram, RLUEI in Big 5, IEI in Socionics.

Some people have trouble with INFP's being highly analytical. Apparently, there's a few group of individuals who are capable of reasoning, but then there we have the feelers who don't have a single braincell and will never be able to succeed in any subject related to science or philosophy. Based on this comments, critical thinking shouldn't be something for all human beings and people who have an "f" in their typology must stay dumb. That's an example of how the mbti has become a dogma when is not even that important and is not even a theory.

Biography

Søren Aabye Kierkegaard (5 May 1813 – 11 November 1855) was a Danish writer, philosopher, Lutheran theologian, and social critic. He is largely considered to be the first existentialist, years before the likes of Friedrich Nietzsche and Jean-Paul Sartre, and has both religious and secular admirers. He wrote a multitude of works on the Christian religion, morality, psychology, and society using irony, metaphors, parables, and pseudonyms. His family was plagued by instability, to the point of believing that his family is cursed. Only two of their seven children, Søren and his brother Peter, would live past age thirty-four. His father was very influential to him, and he inherited his Lutheran Pietism, his intellectual gifts, and even his melancholy. In 1840, he was briefly engaged to Regine Olsen, but he broke off the engagement, partly because he thought being a husband would interfere with his vocation for being a writer and partly because he could not overcome his melancholy.
