ISTP (8w7)
Miyamoto Musashi personality type is ISTP, which is one of four types of the Myers-Briggs personality test. ISTP personality type is defined as being “confident, testy, and hard to read.” And that’s exactly what I found myself doing when I read The Book of Five Rings.
The Book of Five Rings is a text written by Miyamoto Musashi in 1588. It is one of the most influential texts in all of martial arts, but it is also one of the most difficult to understand. The book is not a book on strategy, much less an instructional manual on how to win in battle. Rather, it is a book on how to live your life according to your own code. If you read through the entire book, you’ll find that there are many different layers to the work. And each layer can be interpreted in different ways.
I’m sure that the reader has come across books that are difficult to understand. The classics are usually the ones that are so complicated that you need to work for years to understand them. I’m not saying that this book is difficult to understand, but I am saying that it is very different than what I expected.
Miyamoto Musashi, also known as Shinmen Takezō, Miyamoto Bennosuke or, by his Buddhist name, Niten Dōraku, was a Japanese swordsman, philosopher, strategist, writer and rōnin. Musashi, as he was often simply known, became renowned through stories of his unique double-bladed swordsmanship and undefeated record in his 61 duels. He is considered a Kensei, a sword-saint of Japan. He was the founder of the Niten Ichi-ryū, or Nito Ichi-ryū, style of swordsmanship, and in his final years authored The Book of Five Rings and Dokkōdō. Both documents were given to Terao Magonojō, the most important of Musashi's students, seven days before Musashi's death. The Book of Five Rings deals primarily with the character of his Niten Ichi-ryū school in a concrete sense, i.e., his own practical martial art and its generic significance; The Path of Aloneness, on the other hand, deals with the ideas that lie behind it, as well as his life's philosophy in a few short aphoristic sentences.
