J. S. Bach | INTJ 1w9 (146) sp/sx

In all things, Bach strove for excellence.  He was endlessly dedicated and worked only for the best, expecting the same from his colleagues.  But music was also a deeply meaningful art for him, a medium through which he sought a deep and higher truth.  Bach was a serious and hardworking but deeply wise and humble personality, as is also reflected in his compositions.

INTJ (Ni • Te • Fi • Se) ~ Bach was serious, focused, and ordered.  His dedication to a pure, deep, higher truth and his use of the most elegantly ordered music to seek this is an indication of focused, conceptual, truth-pursuing Ni (introverted intuition).  Externally, he held high expectations of those with whom he worked as well as for himself; descriptions such as this of his sometimes even controlling personality are in line with higher Te (extraverted thinking).  His own deeply held beliefs and values which guided his work and life are indicative of Fi (introverted feeling), and the clearly apparent pursuit of a clear, elegant, beautiful external manifestations of his ideas and values is very much in line with the Ni-Se combination in INxJs and also ENxJs.

146 (The Philosopher) sp/sx ~ Bach’s perfectionism and idealism is strongly present in his music as well as accounts of his character and is well suited to enneatype One.  Ones are perseverant, focused, disciplined, and are often very skilled and good with details in the areas within which they focus.

Overture

Welcome to the new blog!  I wanted to just get a post up and give an introduction to what this blog’s content will be.

MBTI and Enneagram will come together with the worlds of music and literature.  The goal of the blog is to provide some inside into those topics, discovering personality through art and the other way around.  The goal is also to make a fun, enjoyable environment, sometimes through a lighter look at the topics for enjoyment.  Not all seriousness!

I will take requests and certainly questions, though particularly for requests of typing do expect some time for a response.  I will try to answer questions as soon as I can!

Posts will include: personality typing of figures in the arts, characters (both more individual, in-depth ones and more brief ones including the majority of characters from a work), some fun things like charts or music related MBTI topics, and anything else I find inspiring (and please feel free to make recommendations as well!).

Thank you for reading, and please follow for the occasional MBTI, enneagram, and arts related post!
