Lou Reed MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Lou Reed? Lou Reed is an INTP personality type in MBTI, 5w4 - sp/sx - 548 in Enneagram, RLUEI in Big 5, ILI in Socionics.
I get the ISTP votes because it's the image he portrayed in his interviews and all, but the more you read about him the more apparent the Ne is. He was an inquisitive person, always looking for inspiration wherever he could find it: whether in poetry, gay bars, football, or the music press. He was drawn to underground figures, how they thought and acted. Most of his songs have multiple layers of interpretation, too. "Coney Island Baby", for example, has implicit themes of masculinity and "straightness". The Se image can also be viewed as a psychological defensiveness (6w5).
