Eckhart Tolle MBTI Personality Type

Personality

What personality type is Eckhart Tolle? Eckhart Tolle is an INFJ personality type in MBTI, 6w5 - sp/so - 592 in Enneagram, RCOAI in Big 5, EII in Socionics.

I was torn between INFP and INFJ but his thought processes more lean towards INFJ based on material I’ve observed and my own biases. A lot of people are mentioning that his life’s work may be dedicated to development of Se but I don’t agree, so I’ll retype my comment on someone else’s post here. He very much encourages being with your whole body and listening to your thoughts and the outside world with our ‘’whole’’ bodies, which likely means the integration of several functions. I’m sure many of you have experienced this, listening to someone with your mind only or listening with heart and mind (much harder and elusive). So I don’t think that it’s Se per se (pun intended) that he’s encouraging people to develop. When he talks about the ‘’present moment’’, I don’t think he means it in terms of the physical world only, I think he also means it in the world of the formless. So it’s almost like a Fi, Se, Ni, and Ne combo, for each person it might look different.
