What is the personality type of Janis Joplin? Which MBTI personality type best fits? Personality type for Janis Joplin from Classic Rock and what is the personality traits.
ENFP (4w5)
Janis Joplin personality type is ENFP, while also being an ENTP. The ENFP Joplin is definitely more introverted than the ENTP.
The ENTP Joplin is clearly extroverted, and there is no doubt that she always felt more comfortable in crowds than the introverted ENFP Joplin.
Joplin herself also described her personality type as "very versatile". She could switch between extrovert and introvert in a second, and was able to keep it up throughout the course of her life.
I actually think that's an important trait for an ENTP to have, especially if they're also an ENFP.
People often think of ENTPs as being very intelligent, but not empathetic. And I do think that's true for some people, but not all (I actually think Enneagram 6 is an accurate way to describe this type).
Joplin was definitely empathetic, especially for other people who were struggling with drugs and alcohol. She actually self-reported that she was an alcohol addict herself, and that she went through periods of extreme alcoholism (fun fact: according to the coroner, she died from a combination of heroin and alcohol).
Janis Lyn Joplin (January 19, 1943 – October 4, 1970), nicknamed "Pearl", was an American rock, soul and blues singer and songwriter, and one of the most successful and widely-known female rock stars of her era. After releasing three albums, she died of a heroin overdose at the age of 27. A fourth album, Pearl, was released in January 1971, just over three months after her death. It reached number one on the Billboard charts.
