INFP (XwX)
E. T. A. Hoffmann personality type is INFP, but some INFPs do not fit this description.
Some INFPs are introverted and idealistic but do not have the same focus on the inner world of their imagination as the irrational type. They are not as susceptible to the influence of their own inner world, and they are more practical and empirical than irrationals. They can be thought of as a blend of the extrovert and introvert types.
Intuitive (Ni)
The intuitive type is represented by the letter N, which stands for the "thinking process" and is called the fourth function in INFPs. This function is not one of the many individual functions of the INFP personality type, but rather a general thinking process. It's also called the logical function and is represented by the Roman numeral IV, which is not a letter but a symbol.
The intuitive function is closely related to the ideas that are in the mind at any given time. This function can work alone or in cooperation with other functions for most of the time, but it can become problematic when the type is overloaded by too many tasks to deal with.
Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann (commonly abbreviated as E. T. A. Hoffmann; born Ernst Theodor Wilhelm Hoffmann; 24 January 1776 – 25 June 1822) was a German Romantic author of fantasy and Gothic horror, a jurist, composer, music critic and artist. His stories form the basis of Jacques Offenbach's opera The Tales of Hoffmann, in which Hoffmann appears (heavily fictionalized) as the hero. He is also the author of the novella The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, on which Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's ballet The Nutcracker is based. The ballet Coppélia is based on two other stories that Hoffmann wrote, while Schumann's Kreisleriana is based on Hoffmann's character Johannes Kreisler. See also Schumann's Fantasiestücke, Op. 12.
