Malcolm Young MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Malcolm Young? Malcolm Young is an ISTJ personality type in MBTI, 6w5 - sp/so - 693 in Enneagram, RCOEN in Big 5, SLI in Socionics.
ISTJ probably isn't the first type that comes to mind when one considers AC/DC's overall musical aesthetic, but I can't see Malcolm as being anything else. According to Angus, his brother was a highly meticulous record-keeper who maintained a detailed archive of all of his ideas for guitar riffs and songs, strongly suggesting dominant Si. Furthermore, the common critical complaint about AC/DC is that they've pretty much just made the same album over and over again (even if it is a great album) without any desire to change up their style in any way. Malcolm appears to have been the main architect behind the band's "if it's worked the past 10 times, it'll work again" ethos, which screams Si-Te.
