ENTP (8w7)
Ben Jonson personality type is ENTP, which means someone with a vivid imagination and a natural ability to see multiple points of view. This ability makes them good at seeing the big picture, and means they have a natural ability to work out other people’s intentions.
In a world that values a detached, detached perception of life, this is a great skill to have. It is a great skill for a poet, a politician, a writer or a businessman. It can even help you get along with other people in a work environment, which is pretty good going for a person who’s type is ENTP.
Of course there are downsides to being an ENTP. In an earlier post on the INTP personality type, I mentioned how they can be beset by feelings of inadequacy and insecurity. ENTPs are no different. They can feel insecure about their intelligence, and want to make sure they are always right, especially when they are disagreeing with others.
They may also be preoccupied with the small details of the world around them, and forget to take things like intuition and creativity into account, which can lead them to make assumptions that others do not share.
Benjamin Jonson (c. 11 June 1572 – c. 16 August 1637) was an English playwright and poet. Jonson's artistry exerted a lasting influence upon English poetry and stage comedy. He popularised the comedy of humours; he is best known for the satirical plays Every Man in His Humour (1598), Volpone, or The Fox (c. 1606), The Alchemist (1610) and Bartholomew Fair (1614) and for his lyric and epigrammatic poetry. "He is generally regarded as the second most important English dramatist, after William Shakespeare, during the reign of James I."
