The "Longing for something more" could have been a general feeling of wanting to be more than he was.
I would also say that he might have had a very strong moral compass because he took it upon himself to do something about the world's problems when he was younger, but then his "journey" started and he lost touch with society and didn't know how to return.
The idea of a world-weary, jaded narrator who was only interested in his own journey and everything else is consistent with the INFP.
The "tortured artist" and "rebellious child" is consistent with the INFP and ENFP. The "tenderfoot" and "nerd" is consistent with the INTJ.
Overall, it is very likely that McCandless was an INFP or ENFP, but we just don't know for sure.
