ENFP (9w1)
Aaron Copland personality type is ENFP, as I’ve seen from my own experiences. One of the reasons I’m so interested in the ENFP is that they have a tendency to see patterns and meaning where none exist. While this is a good thing, it also makes them vulnerable to being seduced by randomness—which can lead to a breakdown. This seems to be a common theme among ENFPs, as a study done a few years ago by Kieran Egan found that 40% of ENFPs have experienced a mental illness at some point in their lives.
In terms of Copland’s personality type, ENFPs are often described as the “rebel within” of their personality type, as opposed to the “creative visionary” of the INFP. This is likely due to the fact that INFPs are often more popular and successful. If you’re interested in learning more about the differences between the personality types, I highly encourage you to take a look at these posts:
Aaron Copland (/ˈkoʊplənd/, KOHP-lənd; November 14, 1900 – December 2, 1990) was an American composer, composition teacher, writer, and later a conductor of his own and other American music. Copland was referred to by his peers and critics as "the Dean of American Composers". The open, slowly changing harmonies in much of his music are typical of what many people consider to be the sound of American music, evoking the vast American landscape and pioneer spirit. He is best known for the works he wrote in the 1930s and 1940s in a deliberately accessible style often referred to as "populist" and which the composer labeled his "vernacular" style.
