INFJ (XwX)
Theodor Fontane personality type is INFJ, which is described by the Myers-Briggs type indicator as follows:
“Persons of this type are idealists, who expect to find order and sincerity in human nature. They are just and fair, and their judgments are objective. Theirs is a well-developed idealism, and they can be idealistic to a fault. They regard the world as a just and well-ordered place, and they expect to find beauty and perfection in human relationships. They are exceptionally sensitive to the sufferings of others and enjoy helping those who are less fortunate.”
Theodor Fontane’s INFJ personality type is not the only one which has been described as “idealist” and “just and fair” – I’ve also seen descriptions which describe him as an INTJ or ENFJ. The INFJ type is also extremely rare – only one percent of the population is INFJ, and the majority of these INFJs are not very extroverted.
Born on 30 December 1819 in Neuruppin, Prussia, Theodor Fontane (German: [ˈtʰeːodoɐ̯ fɔnˈtaːnə]) was a German pharmacist, novelist, poet and proponent of literary realism. His most renown works include "Effi Briest", "Irrungen, Wirrungen", and "Der Stechlin". Fontane's style is primarily characterized by detailed descriptions of settings and close examination of the sociopolitical problems that shaped his time. In 1892, Fontane was diagnosed with a severe case of cerebral ischemia. He died on 20 September 1898 in Berlin, Germany.
