Hm, he could very well be, but with all of the things he did later in life makes me think that he was a pretty heavy user of Fi. I've always had a hard time typing him. I think I'll go with ENFP.
Lennon wasn't an intuitive. Look at all of his lyrics. He's a fanantic of describing experiences and stories. Two songs that come to mind are In My Life and A Day In The Life.
In my life: He definitely goes all out in describing places and things that have occured to him. This is an ode to the sensorial past life, and just a spice of the present, which makes me think all s.
A day in the life: "I read the news today oh boy
About a lucky man who made the grave
And though the news was rather sad
Well I just had to laugh
I saw the photograph
He blew his mind out in a car
He didn't notice that the lights had changed
A crowd of people stood and stared
They'd seen his face before
Nobody was really sure
If he was from the House of Lords."
Quite descriptive. Quite detailed, Quite spot on. S, S and more S.
Why else? In his personal life, he grew up in a very S aspect. John Lennon was VERY aware of latest trends and popularity while growing up. He started experimenting with drugs and sex at an early life because of his surroundings. He would often blow off school to go have fun. He picked up music from a very early stage of his life, and he started messing with instruments quite early. Everything is quite reminiscent of Extroverted Sensation.
And he wasn't a user of Fi, but as in Fe, a more developed state of ESTP's. His feeling contributions came mainly from the way he was treating Yoko. All of the talking about violence and women's right? Guess who used to be against it, and showed it to Yoko Ono quite well (and physically)?
Pretty much every place I've looked says ISFP. Just because he's social doesn't necessarily mean he isn't introverted as well. SPs tend to be pretty outgoing in general. Also, there's no way he was an N type. His lyrics are very sensory based. I don't see any imagery or anything an Ni user would write at all.
Paul McCartney was commanding as crazy. There really isn't a doubt in my mind that he was a J. He was accused several times of trying to impose his will on everyone else. If things didn't go his way because of the band, he would often sneak around them and record songs on his own, and then place them on his own "Why don't we do it in the road" being the song that was pretty much a spit in the face for Beatles. He wasn't flexible, and he was often the one that would shut down Ringo and George.
John Lennon was the one that was always trying to bring George and Ringo together to sing. Paul would often try not to. He is definitely a judge, and used a judging factor as dominant. His lyrics however, show him as a big softie, and quite concerned about love, more than empathy.
Actually, now that I think about it, he may be an INFJ.
He was an IxxJ, no doubt about it. He actually could've been an INFJ, you're right, as he was a bit of a pushover, which is a trait of IxFJ's.
HOLY BOGOONKERS!
