Personality

What personality type is Franz Kafka? Franz Kafka is an INFP personality type in MBTI, 5w4 - sx/sp - 549 in Enneagram, RLUAI in Big 5, ILI in Socionics.

Kafka has one of the strongest Fi to see. The connection between Fi-Ne is perfectly visible in his books. A fundamental theme in his books is his despotic father, with whom Kafka had an ambivalent relationship in his real life. In any case, I think he was slightly unfair to him, because as one of his worst experience in the Letter to his father, he describes how his father sent him to the balcony for a few minutes as a punishment at the night. The theme of the despotic father is quite noticeable in the short story The Metamorphosis and Ortel. His father (ESTJ) had the idea that Franz would take over his business, but Franz didn't want it. In his books, it is clear how Franz is afraid of the world which is led by Te. He lived in Prague at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries when the Czechia fell under Austria-Hungary and he was a Jew (he was a minority in the middle of the minority). Feeling of lack of belonging, exclusion and isolation are the basic motives of his work and life. His books mainly reflect his personal divisions, social, national and religious differences, which Kafka suffered from but was unable to resolve... Fun fact: he lived very ascetically and did not drink coffee or alcohol or smoke. Yet, so many cafes in Prague are named after him today.

Biography

Franz Kafka (3 July 1883 – 3 June 1924) was a German-speaking Bohemian Jewish novelist and short story writer, widely regarded as one of the major figures of 20th-century literature. His work, which fuses elements of realism and the fantastic, typically features isolated protagonists faced by bizarre or surrealistic predicaments and incomprehensible social-bureaucratic powers, and has been interpreted as exploring themes of alienation, existential anxiety, guilt, and absurdity. His best known works include "Die Verwandlung" ("The Metamorphosis"), Der Process (The Trial), and Das Schloss (The Castle).
