Personality
What personality type is Arthur Rimbaud? Arthur Rimbaud is an ENFP personality type in MBTI, 4w3 - sx/so - 478 in Enneagram, SLUEI in Big 5, EIE in Socionics.
Read what he wrote in Africa, you may more inclined to think that he is ENFP. I'm sorry I don't have a book on hand, that's a rough impression. During this period,he said he never wanted to stay at a fixed location that always made him feel sorrowful. If he didn't have to consider how to feed himself, he would like to travel around the world live in every place just few months. This world was full of magic that anyone couldn't see them all even if they had thousand times of lives. That is a typical declaration of ENFP. When he was young he wrote to his teacher said it was boring to take a ordinary job like anyone else. He came to Paris in 1871, at that time Paris was in the midst of the Commune. He gave passionate praise for the Paris Commune, after it failed he escaped luckily and wrote Le Bateau ivre. He was only 16. Then he fell in love with Verlaine, Le Bateau ivre as his gift. Read the letter he wrote to Verlaine in love, it is full of lovely despotism and willfulness. Rimbaud wrote his most famous work saison de l'enfer after their breakup. Unbelievable imagination, amazing talent, confused, struggling, sincere heart, if the hell has Rimbaud I want to go there now. This bold, unbridled passion continued throughout his life. He said that poets are fire thieves, and should consciously derail their senses, pursue spirituality, and express themselves. Both his Ne and Fi are strong. I believe it is more likely that he is an ENFP. The reason is in the first paragraph, and I think there is also a lot of evidence in his crazy life. (Thank you for your reading. Because my first language is not English or French, I'm afraid there maybe many places are inaccurate due to multiple translations and the lack of my English expression skills.)
Biography
Jean Nicolas Arthur Rimbaud ( or ; French: [aʁtyʁ ʁɛ̃bo] ( listen); 20 October 1854 – 10 November 1891) was a French poet who is known for his influence on modern literature and arts, which prefigured surrealism. Born in Charleville-Mézières, he started writing at a very young age and excelled as a student, but abandoned his formal education in his teenage years to run away from home to Paris amidst the Franco-Prussian War. During his late adolescence and early adulthood he began the bulk of his literary output, but completely stopped writing at the age of 21, after assembling one of his major works, Illuminations.
