Lauryn Hill MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Lauryn Hill? Lauryn Hill is an INFJ personality type in MBTI, 4w3 - sp/sx - 458 in Enneagram, RLOEI in Big 5, IEI in Socionics.
Lauryn Hill uses Ni. Listen to her lyrics- especially Final Hour. "You can get the money, you can get the power, just keep your eyes on... The final hour." Her entire persona and artistry, especially her MTV unplugged album, is focused on a bigger picture. She uses her music to channel a message to the masses about independence, spirituality, and the need to detach from the toxic entanglements of an overly consumeristic society. In interviews it's the same, Lauryn doesn't focus on expressing her craft, she focuses on explaining a bigger picture to her audience with Fe. She seeks to uplift others, and she is very good at adapting her speech behaviors and delivery to do so: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1cq0bhSrq4&ab_channel=4UsTV "I was popular... Not because I was cool, because I had a certain amount of self confidence and independence from a young age." Lauryn isn't overtly focused on being "unique" or "cool"- she had confidence because of her strong vision for her future and self and inner motivation; ie: her Ni. Her music is a vessel for her broader message; very similar to Tupac Shakur (ENFJ). Lauryn's lyrics lack the abstract nature and personalization of most Fi artists. She expresses herself in broad and universal tones which can be understood and felt by many (Fe). Hence why her album is the first to go Diamond of any female rapper. Compare her lyricism to other female rappers who use Fi, such as Doja Cat, Lil Kim, Nicki Minaj (all ESFP). Do you really think she is Dom Fi (INFP)? There is no way. She doesn't brag personally about her own achievements in her lyrics, she rarely even inserts herself. Her most personal song (To Zion), even has an entirely different metaphorical layer about religion that can be analyzed apart from the personal story it tells. In short, her music and her personal interviews do not point to a Dom Fi user at all. She sees hip-hop as a political and spiritual movement and believes that society is deception: "All of humanity is living in a dream world, but suffering real consequences." Her career and life is deeply rooted in Ni, with a desire to "wake" others up through her art.
