Jeff Porcaro MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Jeff Porcaro? Jeff Porcaro is an ENFJ personality type in MBTI, 9w1 - - in Enneagram, in Big 5, in Socionics.
May I share my take on Jeff Porcaro's personality ? I can see him as ENFJ, based on his interviews and what musicians he'd worked with, said about him. His Fe seems strong since many musicians commended his professionalism at a very young age and I can see strong Se as well. I'm not sure of his enneagram but he seems to have both 9 and 7 in his tritype. I'm going with Social 9w1 given his high contribution to session drumming, and since he was a very humble man. His brother Mike Porcaro said about him producers were calling him, and Jeff never called anyone, he was such a good drummer he didn't even needed to promote himself. I'm going with FELV, because I can see result Physics, since he was a pretty hedonisitic man. I'm going 3L because unlike his father, Joe Porcaro who was a very reputed instructor, Jeff Porcaro didn't seem very interested into transmission. Logic seems process-oriented rather than result because he usually recalled everything he knew came from other drummers, and his grooves would then belong to anyone. Moreover, I can see him being 4V because he considered the drummer's role was to keep the tempo, rather than playing frantic solos, and sticked to that role. He also had a great sense of humor and was playing for pleasure without taking himself too seriously. He is definitely a great inspiration for any inspiring drummer.
Biography
Jeffrey Thomas Porcaro (April 1, 1954 – August 5, 1992) was an American drummer, songwriter, and record producer. In a career that spanned more than 20 years, Porcaro was best known for his work with the rock band Toto. Porcaro is one of the most recorded session musicians in history, working on hundreds of albums and thousands of sessions. While already an established studio player in the 1970s, he came to prominence in the United States as the drummer on the Steely Dan album Katy Lied. AllMusic has characterized him as "arguably the most highly regarded studio drummer in rock from the mid-'70s to the early '90s", further stating that "It is no exaggeration to say that the sound of mainstream pop/rock drumming in the 1980s was, to a large extent, the sound of Jeff Porcaro." He was posthumously inducted into the Modern Drummer Hall of Fame in 1993.
