Gioachino Rossini - "William Tell Overture" Personality Type, MBTI

ESFP (7w8)

Gustav Mahler - A misunderstood ESFP composer, he was actually a very complex person. He had many masks, and many of his emotions were not genuine. His ESFP side did aid his popularity, however.

Jules Verne - ESFP, The Scientist

Jules Verne - ESFP, The Explorer

Jules Verne - ESFP, The Entertainer

John Travolta - An ESFP celebrity with a career which spans all but three decades of the 20th century. When he was 17, he won the Tony-award for Best Actor in a Musical for his role as Tony Manero on "Grease." He also starred in "Saturday Night Fever" and "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy."

John Watson - Sherlock Holmes, and the only one of the fictional Holmes' to be an ESFP.

John Wayne - ESFP, The Entertainer

Johnny Cash - The Man in Black, Johnny Cash.

The finale of this overture is instantly recognisable for its galloping rhythm and trumpet solos. It reached an international audience when it was used as the theme music for The Lone Ranger films and television and radio shows.

But the music has since become almost a cliché as the soundtrack for car chases and zany antics. And it's also featured in countless ads.

Rossini's opera doesn't actually have any other well-known melodies. And this section of the overture, called The March of the Swiss Soldiers, doesn't even make another appearance in the five-hour long opera.
