"Che tipo di personalità è Antonio Vivaldi? Antonio Vivaldi è un tipo di personalità INTP in mbti, 9w1 - sx/sp - 974 in enneagram, RCOAI in big 5, SEI in socionics."

Judging composer by compositions, I think he would be a double observer within the Ne-Si axis. Although the overall structure and thematic developments in his music is quite recurrent, they still reasonably differ from the music of his time. His virtuosistic violin solos and his experimentation of the violin technique were quite innovative, even pushing the instrument itself to be developed and improved. One could say he differed from the others but not much from himself, but keep in mind that composition (especially of church music) at the time was full of rules and quite strict, and may have been the reason behind this. I think his Ne would be higher than the Si because not only was he often very untraditional and not always sticking to his sense of duty (going as far as once, as the priest, stopping a whole mass midway through the communion to notate a theme), but he was also very fond of traveling everywhere and exploring new places (if I remember correctly he even died travelling in a carriage in the middle of a road). Though I'm not quite sure wether he would be INFP or INTP, going by the majority of votes I'm voting INTP but I'd like to hear the reasoning for INFP if anyone could explain it to me. Edit: Also, I've been searching more about him recently and I saw somewhere that his compositions were all done sporadically and in bursts of spotaneity, wich reinforces the Ne argument.

Biografia

Antonio Vivaldi (4 March 1678 — 28 July 1741) was an Italian composer and violinist from the Baroque era. He was considered a master of the Baroque concerto form, and is perhaps best known for a set of four violin concertos called the Four Seasons. He also wrote a lot of sacred music, operas, and cantatas. Vivaldi began his career as a Catholic priest and a tutor of music in a school for girls in Venice. He was referred to as 'The Red Priest' for his red hair. He was excused from celebrating Mass because of a "tightness of the chest", of which he complained his entire life. This left him free to devote his time to music. Was very popular in his native Venice as well as elsewhere in Europe during much of his career, but changing musical tastes left him behind, and he died poor. Like many pre-Classical era composers, he fell into relative obscurity by the 19th century. But his popularity went through a revival in the early 20th century, helped along by, among others, Ezra Pound, as well as by the discovery in a monastery of music previously thought lost. Bach thought highly of him, and transcribed some Vivaldi works to other instruments (i.e., turning some of Vivaldi's violin concertos into pieces for organ or harpsichord).
