    Philip Larkin
    INTP

    INTP (5w4)

    Philip Larkin personality type is INTP, and he is certainly one of the most famous INTPs.

    His writing style has a lot to do with his personality type. He was a very private person, who rarely gave interviews and was not interested in being famous for being famous. He mostly wrote about his life and his thoughts in his poems, which is why he is often considered a poet, who wrote about his own experiences and thoughts.

    I think that’s why his poems are so popular, even though they aren’t really all that well-known, compared to other poets. They’re just very personal, and it doesn’t feel like it’s too much of a stretch to say that they’re written by an INTP: they’re very honest and they don’t make much sense to anyone else.

    Aside from his poetry, Philip Larkin also wrote quite a lot of essays, which still appear to be quite popular today.

    In the last couple of decades he has become more well-known because of the BBC documentary “Philip Larkin: Beyond the Joke”, which was released in 2014.

    Philip Arthur Larkin CH CBE FRSL (9 August 1922 – 2 December 1985) was an English poet, novelist, and librarian.
