Joe Satriani MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Joe Satriani? Joe Satriani is an ISFP personality type in MBTI, 6w5 - sp/sx - 649 in Enneagram, in Big 5, SEI in Socionics.
"Life is what I write about. I'm writing about my experiences with family, friends, and strangers. Things I see out the window, television, internet, or read in the paper. [...] Or I'm writing about tragedies that I'm still trying to work out emotionally. That's how I deal with it. I internalize it and then turn it into music." - Satriani, quoted in an old interview. Actually agree with the consensus on ISFP here. He's very technically proficient sure, but I think he often uses that proficiency more as a means of expressing some type of inner emotion as opposed to technicality for the sake of technicality (take Yngwie Malmsteen, another well-known instrumental rock guitarist, as an example). A lot of his best/most well-known songs (Always With Me Always With You, Cryin', Rubina, If I Could Fly, Love Thing, Thinking of You, You Saved My Life, etc.) are very heart-oriented and definitely express a desire to connect on a deeper level emotionally. He's an Fi dom, no doubt.
