Martin Heidegger MBTI Personality Type

Personality

What personality type is Martin Heidegger? Martin Heidegger is an INTJ personality type in MBTI, 5w4 - sp/so - 514 in Enneagram, RLOEI in Big 5, ILI in Socionics.

These ISTJ votes are so funny. Heidegger is probably the most Ni-dom philosopher along with Hegel. He dedicated his whole life to a single concept, which he, at all points of his career, defined in terms of future. Being-towards-death, anticipatory resoluteness, the Last God are all examples of this almost religious obsession. He wrote to his mentor, that he had an "inner calling for philosophy, and that by answering the call through research and teaching I am doing everything in my power to further the spiritual life of man and work in the sight of God." Such kind of vocation doesn't come from the past. It's always linked with the 'not-yet' of human life and is thus teleological.

Biography

Wikipedia: Martin Heidegger was a German philosopher and a seminal thinker in the Continental tradition and philosophical hermeneutics, and is "widely acknowledged to be one of the most original and important philosophers of the 20th century." His first and best known book, Being and Time (1927) is one of the central philosophical works of the 20th century. Heidegger is best known for his contributions to phenomenology and existentialism. There is controversy over the degree to which his Nazi affiliations influenced his philosophy. Heidegger also made critical contributions to philosophical conceptions of truth, arguing that its original meaning was unconcealment, to philosophical analyses of art as a site of the revelation of truth, and to philosophical understanding of language as the "house of being."
