Personality

What personality type is Arthur Schopenhauer? Arthur Schopenhauer is an INFJ personality type in MBTI, 5w4 - sp/sx - 541 in Enneagram, RLOEI in Big 5, ILI in Socionics.

His own destiny in philosophy was to help others understand the truths of this world, he wanted people (who were willing to do so) to help them escape from suffering that their existence cause to them. I can't help myself but most of his writings are about suffering of the society as whole, he critize Industrial Revolution (it began to cause massive changes to society when he was young) and it bring almost legalized slavery where people wouldn't even notice it - „New working week huh? 5 days of drudgery for 2 days of boredom!“. He was talking about suffering of animals (I believe that he was not angry because people ate animals but because they created mass slaughters machines and force animals to live in disgusting conditions while most of the people didn't care about it as long as they were not forced to see it). Schopenhauer was VERY systematical and punctual, when someone was behaving too much tardy or random he would be grumpy (dude was obviously triggered by usually stereotypical XXXP's behavior, he LOVED planning ahead and would feel nervous if he couldn't). He would be angry at people who were disturbing him including his physical attack on that woman, he was angry that she was disturbing him, because he felt like he was doing irreplaceable things most people wouldn't understand and what more - he was doing it for them so he didn't felt obligated to bear the consequences of his behavior.

Biography

#on knees Arthur Schopenhauer (22 February 1788 – 21 September 1860) was a German philosopher. He is best known for his 1818 work The World as Will and Representation (expanded in 1844), wherein he characterizes the phenomenal world as the product of a blind and insatiable metaphysical will. Proceeding from the transcendental idealism of Immanuel Kant, Schopenhauer developed an atheistic metaphysical and ethical system that has been described as an exemplary manifestation of philosophical pessimism, rejecting the contemporaneous post-Kantian philosophies of German idealism.
