Frank Zappa INTP?

[Gogeden]

Would anyone here consider Frank Zappa as an INTP?

I'm just wondering

 

[Sugarpop]

He is clearly brilliant and I want to be brilliant too, so he is probably my type.

Many sites seem to uphold the belief that he was ISTP.

IxTP, I would err on the side of N because of his randomness, and if you listen to his testimony at the PMRC hearings his thought patterns and reasoning do seem more N-like

 

[Gogeden]

How would Frank be ISTP when he did a lot of improvisation?

 

[Anthile]

Nah, definitely ENTP - Captain Beefheart was the INTP.

 

[Gogeden]

That sounds more like it to me

I'm on it...

Okay first of all, you guys are trippin' if you think he is a P, you can feel the boundaries this guy is setting.

He is an INFJ, and he is super adversarial, this is a very angry man. He uses a lot his Ti which is why he seems so stone faced, but it is pretty clear that this guy is a J. The way he uses his Ti is to set boundaries, "You can't move me" essentailly is what he is saying with it. This is not how an Adaptive P would use their Ti, well, not usually anyway.
Also the way he is answering question is just straight "this is how I see the world", he is not seen going very deep into his Ni, but almost all of his answers are based in an Ni worldview.

ISTP kind of make sense, but they saw the right functions in the wrong order.
