Fernando Pessoa MBTI Personality Type

Personality

What personality type is Fernando Pessoa? Fernando Pessoa is an INTP personality type in MBTI, 5w4 - sp/sx - 548 in Enneagram, RLUEI in Big 5, ILI in Socionics.

This is gonna sound counterintuitive, but writing about feelings is not necessary a Fe or Fi thing. Fi and Fe are about values. Fi is about personal values and Fe is about extra-personal values, in a way. Ti is about logically connecting A to B, in any domain. Fi is about shaping its own worldview, a personalized system. And Ti too, but Ti is about situational logic. Both are built way differently, but can be confused. One is based on the continuity of ideas (Ti) and the other is based on what each value represents for the individual in first instance (Fi), and yes, feelings. But feelings have different expressions, and therein lies the question: Pessoa had a linear way of writing (and thinking, and feeling). In every sentence lay the premises and the conclusion. Even if were feelings, he rationally dissected them (you can compare him with Camus, for example, an INFP).

Biography

He was a portuguese writer and poet from the early 20th century. He was known for using different heteronyms for writting about different themes and in different styles (e.g.: writting as Alberto Caeiro, his poems were objective and praised Nature, while writting as Álvaro de Campos, his poems were much more eccentric and exalted machines). Writting as himself, his poems weremostly about how he always intellectulizes his feelings and overthinks everything.
