What is the personality type of William Shakespeare? Which MBTI personality type best fits? Personality type for William Shakespeare from Ikemen Vampire Temptation In The Dark and what is the personality traits.
William Shakespeare personality type is INFJ, with the addition of a few extra details from the MBTI book. I am not a Shakespeare scholar, but I do have a degree in English literature. Here's the gist of Shakespeare's personality type:
"Shakespeare is a person with a very strong INFJ function."
So what does this mean for the character of Romeo and Juliet? Well, the INFJ is a deep thinker, a writer, a painter, a director, a teacher, a healer, a visionary, a people-person with a strong sense of empathy. These are all traits identified by Shakespeare.
Just as Shakespeare wrote these famous lines about Juliet:
"She hath made herself a little world,
Luxurious, and, for the quality of things,
Exceeding fine; more rich, more rare,
Than that which Proteus stole from Jupiter…
Yet art thou beautiful, though not so bright
As Phoebus in his clouded majesty…"
So too did Romeo, the hero of the play, create a very realistic world in which he lived. The INFJ's vision is so strong that it is hard for them to process the experiences around them.
