Sufjan Stevens MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Sufjan Stevens? Sufjan Stevens is an INFJ personality type in MBTI, 4w5 - sp/so - 451 in Enneagram, RLOAI in Big 5, EII in Socionics.
The Dostoevsky of indie music. Also, any reason on 451 tritype? He comes across as quite reluctant about rocking the boat or not wanting to be a burden to his mother, for instance as he sings in Carrie and Lowell. So much of Sufjan's music is geared toward a holistic and emphatic understanding of human nature. But I'm not sure if I see the principled kind of edginess of someone with a 1 in their tritype. Sure, he has a codified set of ethics that he follows and remained consistent over the years but I think that's just the classic type 4 intensity and disintegration into a 1 in times of stress. I think that shows in Age of Adz when he grappled with his inferior Se by challenging himself to dance and move more. There's a lot of open-mindedness especially to his spirituality. Sure, he's a claimed he identifies as Orthodox Christian but in recent years he's demonstrated an interest in more mystical beliefs like anthroposophy. As for instinctual variants, I'm not sure. Some people said that he doesn't seem as intense as an sexual-4 with their need to funnel all this energy into one single thing after much time of contemplation and I mostly agree. I'd say self-preservation 4 makes more sense since he does seem to pace himself and is a little more deliberate about learning multiple instruments and forms of artistic expression though I know that doesn't necessarily translate to type.
