Rock 'n Roll Genuises

[Perseus]

What do you reckon are the character types of the following:

John Lennon
Bob Dylan
Jimi Hendrix

or onto lesser souls:

Paul McCartney
Bruce Springstein
Mick Jagger

Leo Sayer
John Mayall

or other songwriters you may wish to choose?

Without much contemplation, I'd say Lennon was an ENTP.

With contemplation I would say he was an INTP.

Why would your contemplations bring you to the eagle's nest?

 

[Da Blob]

Neil Young
Carlos Santana
Jethro Tull
Jimi Hendrix
Alan Parson

 

[Ermine]

Oh, and what about Robert Fripp and Jeff Beck?

Re: Rock 'n Roll Lyricists

I don't rate the Eagles band at all.

I should have said Rock 'n Roll Lyricists

 

[Perseus]

It is easier (for me) with lyricists as the evidence is there with the words they wrote. Write type analysis is fairly accurate (subject to different interpretations by different types, I'd guess, but that is why I have not put my opinions down yet as I am interested in what other say).

Extracts:

Corporation teeshirt, stupid bloody Tuesday
Man you been a naughty boy
You let your face grow long

In ceremonies of the horsemen
Even the pawn must hold a grudge

No throwing cigarette butts out the window
Now if you look to your right you'll se saturn
If you look to the left you'll see mars
I hope your brought your parachutes with you
Hey look out!
Look out for that door
Don't open that door

There are clues in the text, but you will have to use the Perseus system to interpret them.

Howlin' Wolf is/was an ENTJ. INTPs cry sounds like a howl to the unititiated. It is the Eagle caustic cry of pain though, when beaten up by the Bully (ESTJ) or Wolf (ENTJ). They risk a glass in their face.

My guesses:

John Lennon: ENTP/J
Bob Dylan: INFP
Jimi Hendrix: ISFP

or onto lesser souls:

Bruce Springstein: ISTP
Mick Jagger: ESTP

and Elvis: ESFP

 

[Perseus]

My guesses:

John Lennon INTP
Bob Dylan INTP
Jimi Hendrix INFP

or onto lesser souls:

Paul McCartney ISFP
Bruce Springstein ?
Mick Jagger EXTP

Leo Sayer INFP
John Mayall ESTJ

Hendrix, Beefheat, Morrison, Zappa, and Lennon are five totally original and amazing musicians.

Okay, Morrison was a degenerate drunk, but the rest...
