What type is Björk?
Björk, iconic Icelandic singer/creator/composer, is usually typed as a 4. If she is a 4 she would be just about the healthiest one I know of. The thing is that while she’s undeniably unique and dramatic, she doesn’t express much at all shame or self-consciousness, and in fact not much of her music is really themed around feeling different.
For that reason I think that 7 is probably a better fit for her, probably one-on-one/sx-instinct first type 7. This subtype is noted for idealizing life, finding the hope and possibility where others might not see it. Björk actually expresses a lot of optimism, hope and appetite for life in her music and interviews, explicitly touching on those traits pretty often. One of her songs is titled “Big-Time Sensuality”. While it’s true that she has works like Vulnicura that center around heartbreak, even these seem to be framed in an optimistic way, like they’re the catharsis needed to connect with others who are also going through heartbreak and to move forward.
I just think that if she really is a 4, she would have to be pretty much the most optimistic and assertive 4 ever, lol. 4’s definitely don’t have a monopoly on creativity or originality!
Do any other Björk fans have any thoughts?
