Martin Amis MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Martin Amis? Martin Amis is an ENFP personality type in MBTI, 4w5 - - in Enneagram, in Big 5, in Socionics.
His fiction is obviously Ne dominant — his manner that of the comedian, skating across the surface of a shallow society and calling it to account with venomous style and brio. I’ve met him in person, seen in him speak in public, read his non-fiction and his fiction — everything about his personality is intellectual ENFP — the wunderkind arrival, the high-octane fiction, the dissolute lifestyle, and then the burnout in middle-age. If he was an INTP, he would not have played to the gallery in the way that he does, nor burned out, not pontificate at length on politics and society. And he would most certainly not revere Saul Bellow (INTJ), as INTPs and INTJs rarely cross streams in taste. And no INTJ I know has a real taste for Nabokov. Those two rarely meet.He has admitted in an interview with the New York Times about having trouble getting to grips with Faulkner — a writer whose Ni no INTJ or INTP would have any trouble with. Like many extroverted intuitive novelists, he struggles with genuine metaphysics. Like many ENFPs, his sensibility is essentially rooted in the comedy-of-manners, a comedian who wishes he were a tragedian, but who cannot escape the straitjacket of extroverted taste which is fundamentally fixed towards society and not the deeper currents beneath.
