Erik Erikson MBTI Personality Type

Personality

What personality type is Erik Erikson? Erik Erikson is an INFP personality type in MBTI, 4w5 - - in Enneagram, in Big 5, in Socionics.

Anyone with arguments for ISTJ? Reading about his life and motivations for his work, he seems much more like an Fi-dom to me. Being able to structure an extensive theory doesn't mean he was an ISTJ, INFPs are very capable to do so too, if it's a passion of theirs. Also, he used his artistic capabilities and integrated them in the work, which to me seems like a very good use and integration of all four functions of an INFP. I'm still kind of new to typing by functions though, so if anyone has any insightful comments, I'm open to changing my mind :)
