Jeff Buckley Personality Type, MBTI
What is the personality type of Jeff Buckley? Which MBTI personality type best fits? Personality type for Jeff Buckley from Alternative Punk & New Wave and what is the personality traits.
INFP (4w5)
Jeff Buckley personality type is INFP, the type that is easily over-stimulated and prone to depression. In fact, two weeks before he died, he was incoherent and had been taking a psychotropic drug the doctor had prescribed the day before he died to treat his bipolar disorder.
It is possible that Buckley was seeing a psychiatrist at the time of his death.
He was very sensitive to criticism, and also very sensitive to people’s perceptions of him. This could have made him a target for his own depression, causing him to go off the deep end.
The biggest problem was that Buckley was a good guy – a gentle guy – who never harmed anyone or anything.
I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that the world is a better place for having interpreted Buckley as a gentle poet and songwriter. His songs have been covered by numerous musicians, from Tom Jones to the Kinks to Beck to Michael Stipe.
In light of all that, I think we can make sense of his suicide: Buckley had a very sensitive soul and was always looking for approval and love from the world. The weight of the world’s perception of him was too much for him to bear.
Jeffrey Scott Buckley (November 17, 1966 – May 29, 1997), raised as Scott Moorhead, was an American singer, songwriter and guitarist. After a decade as a session guitarist in Los Angeles, Buckley amassed a following in the early 1990s by playing cover songs at venues in Manhattan's East Village, such as Sin-é, gradually focusing more on his own material. After rebuffing much interest from record labels and his father Tim Buckley's manager Herb Cohen, he signed with Columbia, recruited a band, and recorded what would be his only studio album, Grace, in 1994.
