Personality
What personality type is Elizabeth “Lana Del Rey” Grant? Elizabeth “Lana Del Rey” Grant is an ISFP personality type in MBTI, 4w3 - sx/sp - 469 in Enneagram, RLUAI in Big 5, IEI in Socionics.
Edit: I've been incorporating Vultology signals into my typing process, and considering said signals, I can't ignore the fact that Lana's signals point to Se/Ni. I would understand if you were to disagree with a Vultology-centered typing approach, so here is my old INFP argument: I took a second look into her just to check my past typing, and from what I could find, I actually think she's most likely an INFP. From the quotes I can gather and interviews I looked over, I think I can confidently claim that she is an Fi dom and on the Ne-Si axis. Here's a few quotes that back up the idea of her leading with Fi: ¶ "I'm not like a persona. I'm not a caricature of myself." ¶ "I write my own songs. I made my own videos. I pick my producers. Nothing goes out without my permission. It's all authentic." ¶ "When I was young I felt really overwhelmed and confused by the desire not to end up in an office, doing something I didn't believe in." ¶ "I already have success. I had it a long time ago. It's nothing to do with my music. Music is secondary, at this point. The good stuff is really good, but I have success because I'm at peace and I'm a good person in my everyday life and that's important." As for her Ne, I see her surreal perspective of reality as proof of this, as she doesn't seek viewing reality at it's highest pitch of actuality, but rather through a great scope of possibilities. Here are some quotes that back up the idea that she has auxiliary Ne rather than Se: ¶ "I mainly let my imagination be my reality. Fantasy is my reality." ¶ "When I was very young I was sort of floored by the fact that my mother and my father and everyone I knew was going to die one day, and myself too. I had a sort of a philosophical crisis. I couldn't believe that we were mortal." ¶ "I was always an unusual girl. My mother told me I had a chameleon soul, no moral compass pointing due north, no fixed personality; just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide and as wavering as the ocean." ¶ "I'm more interested in, you know, SpaceX and Tesla, what's going to happen with our intergalactic possibilities." ¶ "When you have absolutely no idea what's going to happen to you or what your career's going to end up like and you're just really open to anything, then you don't really have anything to loose." ¶ "The act of surrendering sort of puts me in a different mindset that allows me to be more of a channel - because I'm not holding on so tightly to things, I'm letting go, and I find that in letting go I become more of a channel for life to really happen on life's terms. I mean, maybe that sounds sort of metaphysical, but that's honestly how I feel." In addition to that, as heavily detailed in a past comment of mine, I believe she is a Si user, as she views the world around her through her personalized lens of reality. Her connection to the physical realm is very personalized, seen best in how she doesn't attempt to maximize the sensory stimuli she receives, but rather looks deeper into her own impressions. Here are some quotes that help back up tertiary Si, and are quite anti Se or Ni by consequence: ¶ "Nothing I ever wrote had a message. It was just my own personal experience." ¶ "I'm interested in the gorgeous side of life, but also familiar with the dark side too." ¶ "I don't even do anything in real life. I just sit in my studio and write, I call my friends, I watch television. I don't do anything." ¶ "I wish I could escape into some alter-ego, just so I could feel more comfortable onstage." ¶ "I have a great appreciation for our world's history. I learn from my own mistakes, I learn from the mistakes we've made as a human race." Overall, from the quotes I provided, I think it's fair to conclude that Lana is most likely an INFP. Also, for anyone interested, I have more quotes listed on my site, which is a work in progress at the moment. The link to that is in the bio of my profile! Hope this overview helps!!
