J. R. R. Tolkien MBTI Personality Type

Personality

What personality type is J. R. R. Tolkien? J. R. R. Tolkien is an INFP personality type in MBTI, 6w5 - sp/sx - 649 in Enneagram, RCUAI in Big 5, EII in Socionics.

im gonna say he's an INFP. First off, he didn't want to join the British Army when war started in 1914. Because of that, he was constantly scorned by his family. "In those days chaps joined up, or were scorned publicly. It was a nasty cleft to be in for a young man with too much imagination and little physical courage." When he did join the Army, he didn't like his superiors for he thought that they were far from being gentlemen.  "Gentlemen are rare among the superiors, and even human beings rare indeed." When he was in France to command newly enlisted working-class men, he wanted to be friends with them, even though it was prohibited to make friends with men in different ranks. He was required " to take charge of them, discipline them, train them, and probably censor their letters ... If possible, he was supposed to inspire their love and loyalty." A lot of people wouldn't want to walk with him because it was reported that he would constantly stop to see trees or plants (due to his history of his mother and his knowledge of botany and his love for nature) (look at reply for more)
