why i think Kirk’s an INFP! Ne > Se: some of the arguments i’ve seen for Se are that Kirk doesn’t seem particularly innovative or future-focused, which seems true at first glance. however, the more you get to know him and his interests, the more i believe you can see his Ne. an example of this is his love for creating and writing horror fiction (these things are all over his social media). Se users can partake in this too, of course, but the difference here is that i think Kirk enjoys horror more so because of the possibilities / creative aspects of it (i.e. plot, characters, hidden meanings, etc) rather than sensory-related aspects. i believe his role in Metallica stifled a lot of his creativity because he was always either too busy or too hesitant to bring it up with James and Lars for quite awhile (regarding solo music projects). if Kirk’s enneagram is a 9, his reluctance to push the others’ strong desires aside in favor of his own would make a lot of sense. (this could also be why he didn’t come across as outwardly "future-focused" as an N type might otherwise be; his fear of rocking the boat / the desire to just keep things going, emphasized by not-so-developed tertiary Si.) i believe James is an ISTP, and when he and Kirk speak alongside each other — i.e. in that one interview from Nov 1986 — James is more grounded and focused on stuff that’s happened or about to happen, concrete things, whereas Kirk is more speculative, scattered, and inquisitive. (i.e. when asked about an apartment, Kirk’s response was something like, "would it have a pool?" whereas James’ was, "yeah, a smaller one" or something to that effect.) regarding Kirk’s repeated use of his beloved Wah pedal, that could be a sign of his tertiary Si; or Kirk could just really love his Wah pedal! N types aren’t always so future-focused that they can’t/don’t enjoy some form of repetition in the form of favorite things, you know? Si > Ni: Si is sometimes referred to as "living in the past," but it’s usually more like "learning from" or "referring" to the past (if healthy) and this is one of the reasons Si users can come across as so grounded and stable regardless of their current environment. i think Kirk’s Si was initially sort of unhealthy but as time went on he developed it, as we all do with our respective functions. he comes across as a grounded, humble person who always seemed to be the most willing to admit to & learn from his mistakes (i.e. he was the first to try and mend his relationship with Jason back in the early 90s: Jason & Kirk both said as much during an interview with just the two of them). this isn’t a Si exclusive thing, but developed Si can really help you come to terms with what you’ve done and help you move on from it / strive to fix it so that you can learn from it. Kirk is so quiet that it’s really hard to type him in comparison to the others because he doesn’t give you all that much to go off of, but for now i think i see him as more of an INFP! :) my original enneagram comment: enneagram-wise, i think kirk is much more of a 9. he’s always seemed very easygoing, soft-spoken, and humble, opting to avoid conflict as much as possible and trying to mediate any issues that do arise. even when treated with disrespect — i.e. lars interrupting him to go on his infamous "HE LEFT THE FOCKIN’ BAND!!" rant — kirk usually remains silent and lets it go rather than snapping and/or standing up for himself. (i also struggle to see many, if any, type 4 traits in him, but that could just be me!)
