Alexander Theroux MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Alexander Theroux? Alexander Theroux is an INFP personality type in MBTI, 5w6 - sx/sp - 548 in Enneagram, in Big 5, ILI in Socionics.
What's your reasoning for INTP, if I may enquire? His books are full of idealistic romanticism, characters that are punished in accordance with his subjective values, and oscillations of extreme mood/feeling throughout their overarching entirety. Furthermore, he frequently says that he's proud of the fact that his books are out of print, due to his perception that those special few that seek out his books are worthy of reading them(Fi Te), rather than publishing them in a form, in which, they would be accessible to a much more significant margin of people (Ti,Fe). I'm not saying you're wrong, necessarily, just attempting to seek some clarification on your part regarding how you came to this conclusion. Additionally, I am aware that a Ti/Fe user could come to the same conclusion in relation to how they distribute their works. However, I have often found this type of behavior to be far more pronounced in those who are on the Fi/Te axis.
