ITT: Post your favorite writer and guess their personality type.

DFW.
INTP.

>INTPs are quiet, thoughtful, analytical individuals who tend to spend long periods of time on their own, working through problems and forming solutions. They are curious about systems and how things work. Consequently, they are frequently found in careers such as science, philosophy, law, psychology, and architecture.
>INTPs organize their understanding of any topic by articulating principles, and they are especially drawn to theoretical constructs.
>Their ability to grasp complexity may also lead them to provide overly detailed explanations of simple ideas, and listeners may judge that the INTP makes things more difficult than they need to be. To the INTPs' mind, they are presenting all the relevant information or trying to crystallize the concept as clearly as possible.
>INTPs are driven to understand a discussion from all relevant angles.
>INTPs are often haunted by a fear of failure, causing them to rethink solutions many times and second-guess themselves. In their mind, they may have overlooked a bit of crucial data, and there may very well be another equally plausible solution.
>INTPs are one of the rarest personality types, accounting for 1–5% of the U.S. population.

Most influential or intelligent people through the ages have been INTJ, INTP, INFJ or INFP. Nothing is more embarassing than a personality type that doesn't begin with IN.

INFJ here. wittgenstein was INFJ. therefore I'm wittgenstein.

[Anonymous No.6221479]

I have a lot of favorite authors. Only a few where I felt like I could identify their "type" really obviously, and mostly for people who share my type, ISFP.

Hagiwara Sakutaro would definitely be one.

>"Hagiwara himself explained his especial liking for beer as permitting long arguments about poetry as one proceeded slowly toward incoherence."
>"modern critics conscious of his proven genius show an understandable reluctance to say flatly whether some of the curious words in his poetry are deliberate new-coinings or merely results of his lack of formal education"
>spent his time reading, learning to play the mandolin, listening to opera, attending foreign plays, reviewing Kabuki performances, writing poetry.

I also feel this way about Patrick Leigh Fermor.

Kenji Miyazawa is also firmly ISFJ.
