INTJ (3w4)
Brian Epstein personality type is INTJ, but he was a bit more extroverted than your average INTJ. He was often seen talking to people, especially strangers, and he felt a strong need to share his experiences. He was a born communicator and a natural leader.
Not surprisingly, he was very interested in the arts and music, which he pursued while playing in a band. His unique personality and talent for leadership caused him to be a natural choice to manage the Beatles.
His highest form of expression for the INTJ is through music and conversation, so it's no surprise that it was through music that he found purpose in life.
In his book My Brother George, Epstein described his experience with his brother:
"I think that my brother George was a very wonderful person and also a very strong personality, I think. He was a very definite personality and I think that's the way he'll always remain."
I believe that George is a very strong personality because I have observed this myself, but it's also true that he was a very wise and gentle soul.
Here's what Epstein says about his brother:
"He was very broad-minded and always believed in the individual because usually the individual was right.
Brian Samuel Epstein (19 September 1934 – 27 August 1967) was an English music entrepreneur who discovered and managed the Beatles. He was often referred to as a "fifth" member of the group.
Epstein was born into a family of successful retailers in Liverpool, who put him in charge of their music shop. Here he displayed a remarkable gift for talent-spotting, and got a strong intuition about the potential of an unknown four-man group, The Beatles, at a lunchtime concert at Liverpool's Cavern Club in 1961. Although he had no experience of artist management, Epstein put them under contract and insisted that they abandon their scruff-image in favour of a new clean-cut style, with identical suits and haircuts. He then persuaded George Martin of the prestigious EMI group to produce their records. In August 1962, drummer Pete Bestwas replaced with Ringo Starr, and the group's familiar line-up was established.
