Cormac McCarthy MBTI Personality Type

Personality

What personality type is Cormac McCarthy? Cormac McCarthy is an INTJ personality type in MBTI, 5w4 - sp/sx - in Enneagram, RCUEI in Big 5, ILI in Socionics.

That talk he did with Cormac McCarthy is, in my mind a great example of Ni versus Ne-driven communication styles. Krauss, while being quite vocal and cutting-off McCartney was trying his best to cram in as much theorizing, speculating and information regarding physics and math as he could while also trying to include Cormac's singular, almost prophetic like vision of both culture, the arts and math. But Krauss kept jumping from one topic to the other sporadically. Sure, that child-Fe (as much as that term kind of annoys me, lol) acknowledges McCartney's contribution not necessarily to the IMMEDIATE present moment in a didactic style of playing off him, but McCarthy is just on another level. Sure, he was also quite old and this aired only last year and he could've very much just be marginally fatigued. But I still maintain that his Ni probably thrives in isolation when he is writing. I think Krauss comes from a specific kind of academia that doesn't take into account certain reality of the outside world and McCarthy comes from more tough, autodidactic kind of world.
