[4/INFP]
I thought David Bowie might be a 5 or 4.
I am, (I think) 8w7 ENTP
He's definitely got a big 4 influence nonetheless. Probably a 3w4, possibly a 4w3. Might also be similar to a 7w8 but he's too calculated and snobbish.
He's rather unconventional and openly dislikes fame and popularity. He doesn't really get a kick out of being a celebrity. Seems to have a wide range of emotional expressions (from sad to funny, sweet to cranky, deeply analytical to action-oriented). It's hard to put him in a box - he's not the melancholic, passionate type that's typical to a 4 for example.
Also he doesn't take himself too seriously and can be funny in a rather self-deprecating way. He also portrays fear in a very believable way.
Other thing that strikes me as 6ish is his interest in political issues and his activism against the war in Iraq. He seems to have a solid grip of the inner workings of economics and how money and profit are used to manipulate masses. He's witty and thoughtful, which would suggest a head type.
I think he's probably got a strong connection to 9, because of his pleasant, friendly nature, but he's definitely more intellectually alert and cerebral rather than easy-going and unfocused.
Based on these aspects, I'd say he's a probably 6, possibly soc/sp with a noticeable connection to 9.
The second choice would be 9.
I'd be glad if you add
'Hermann Hesse'. Imo he is a very typical 4.
"I'd rather be smart than a movie star." Kinda says it all.
Btw, great blog.
He wrote his songs by cutting up stories and throwing the words into the air to see where they land. That is very unconventional, as was his look for many years. He is way to cerebral to be a 4. And way to reclusive to be a 3.
He's a 5! [:)]
Regarding Sandra Bullock - having E9, yet seeming E8ish; it's worth remembering that E9 is the most passive of the 9 types and without using the energy of one of the adjacent types (a so-called 'Wing', see Don Riso's Ennea books/site) E9 types would be practically inert and unable to get out of bed! Howabout Sandra B having E9w8 and her MBTI ESFP?
I've been studying Enneatypes for ages (I have E5w4 INFP) but what originally hooked me was the fact that adjacent types are like chalk & cheese yet about 90% of us use one of those two as a back-up to our primary enneatype (which adds in various ways to our life 'dilemmas').

If you are interested in typing celebrities, famous people and Tv Characters, we created a group on Facebook called "Portraits Of The Enneagram", where we discuss this issue from many perspectives and schools.
Congrats again.

I'm not sure if you are checking your comments for this post anymore, but I am curious about a couple characters commonly listed as 4's: Bob Dylan & Jim Morrison.
I wonder if Bob Dylan was actually a 3w4 because of his VERY strategic marketing, and the way he copied woodie guthrie's 'man of the people' style... and because most of his songs were not very self-revealing (I mean, they revealed his political views, but not his personal life!).
And Jim Morrison: I wonder if he was an i~fp 9w8. There is this 'letting it all hang out' and oblivion-seeking quality to his melancholy that feels 9w8-ish to me. I know many infp 9's that were initially mistyped as 4's.
What do you think?
Steve Jobs=4. Courtney Cox=3 Jennifer Anniston=6. Whoopi Goldberg=9
Etc.
avoid conflicts, and one of the most famous incidents in
Jung's life was his fall-out with Freud. I would have
thought Jung was a Five. The Penguin History of Psychology says that Jung was a man of enormous erudition, and Anthony Storr said in his book on Jung "Kind and compassionate though Jung was, he was always more interested in ideas than people". These comments make Jung sound like a Five to me. Anthony Edwards, Northampton, United Kingdom.
Yours, Anthony C. Edwards.
Hugs from Mallorca, Isabella.
bye!
. Not Nietzsche, not Kant, not Einstein. The last three were, for example, an eight, a one and I don't know about Einstein. Ok, maybe he was a 5. Nietzsche and Kant were an eight and one. Even typical .. Read Helen Palmer, ...
Interested in how people see Lincoln as the passive, peace adoring 9. I am a 9 and so get the reality of the life and behavior of a 9.
