What is the personality type of Steve Prefontaine? Which MBTI personality type best fits? Personality type for Steve Prefontaine from Track & Field and what is the personality traits.
ESFP (3w4)
Steve Prefontaine personality type is ESFP, and the only thing that’s really “wrong” with it is that he wasn’t able to harness his tendency to take risks into the world of competitive ultra-running.
I’m not sure if he would have been able to do that, but for all the wrong reasons it would have been a great thing to experience.
What would have happened if he had?
His name would have become synonymous with the phrase “can’t go at it alone”. He would have inspired people to follow their own paths towards success, not just in running but in life.
He would have brought to the fore the message that you don’t have to be everyone’s favorite type to get something done. You can be your own favorite type!
I think all of us are capable of being our own favorite type, if we are willing to take risks, be bold, work hard, and believe in ourselves. I know I am.

Prefontaine's career, alongside those of Jim Ryun, Frank Shorter, and Bill Rodgers, generated considerable media coverage, which helped inspire the 1970s "running boom."[5][6] Prefontaine's celebrity and charisma resulted in two 1990s feature films about his life. He died at age 24 in an automobile accident near his residence in Eugene, Oregon. One of the premier track meets in the world, the Prefontaine Classic, is held annually in Eugene in his honor.
