    Benjamin Alire Sáenz
    INFP

    INFP (4w5)

    Benjamin Alire Sáenz personality type is INFP, or Introverted iNtuitive Feeling Perceiving. I’m a left-brained person, so I’ll start with my dominant qualities.

    My dominant function is Introverted Intuition. It’s a kind of “third eye” that helps me see patterns in the world around me and in my own thoughts. It helps me make sense of the world and it helps me understand the thoughts and feelings of others.

    My secondary function is Extroverted Feeling. It’s a kind of “heart” that makes me feel connected to others and it helps me to be compassionate and empathetic to others.

    My tertiary function is Extroverted Sensing. It’s a kind of “body” that makes me take in information from the world around me and orient myself in time and space.

    My inferior function is Extroverted Thinking. It’s a kind of “brain” that helps me think about what I can do for myself and other people.

    My inferior function is often underdeveloped in introverts because we tend to use our introverted intuition more than our extroverted thinking.

    Benjamin Alire Sáenz (born August 16, 1954) is an American poet, novelist and writer of children's books.

    His first novel, Carry Me Like Water was a saga that brought together the Victorian novel and the Latin American tradition of magic realism, and received much critical attention.

    áenz came out as gay in the late 2000s, at age 54. He has acknowledged in interviews that he had difficulty coming to terms with his sexuality due to having been sexually abused as a child, and that he began to explore LGBT themes in his writing in part as a way to help himself work through his own issues with being gay.
