    She looks plastic.

    She doesn't seem to have quite the range of expression that one would expect from a feeler, but that does seem to be typical of ENFjs. However, she's clearly j, and I would guess intuitive. Extrovert seems likely. I won't disagree.
    But, for a certainty, back then,
    We loved so many, yet hated so much,
    We hurt others and were hurt ourselves...

    Yet even then, we ran like the wind,
    Whilst our laughter echoed,
    Under cerulean skies...

    i notice this, too. runs the whole spectrum of emotional range, but it's held in check, i think, in ENFj/INFp especially. there's not the added > dimension that makes ESFjs/ISFps move "naturally" (seems like one of those links ****** posted on developing functions mentioned dominance as natural posing/fluid motions.)

    Wuthering Heights is one of the most brilliant song's I've ever heard... To condense a huge, complicated book like that into, what 20 lines--it's amazing, and pretty funny too.

    She's INFj.

    She's definitely Delta NF--either INFj or ENFp... There's Fi everywhere in those interviews.

    I could see a delta NF rather easily, and then I'd think EII > IEE.

    I really don't know.

    Man, professional dancers can really be killer with their hips


    Each time I see something that leads towards beta INFp or delta INFj, I'm not really sure. Maybe ENFp. Here stuff is definitely abstract enough to be INFp. But I really can't make out any quadra values. She could easily just be an INFj who has fallen in love with music and dance.

    Her scrupulousness in terms of wanting to focus on her work rather than promoting it (in video 2 or 3 on esper's post) could be more an INFj thing.

    And yet, her music is just so abtract, is it really about ?
    I'm not sure.



    This video makes me think INFj

    I find her attractive there.
    But I can't quite tell what her head movements mean.

    For some reason, how she answers the question of "can you tell us a little bit about the atmosphere of this album" - at the end of that interview - stands out to me. I'm not sure what though.

    Her posture there ALMOST makes me think "Yes, INFp", because it seems lax. And her movement ALMOST reminds me of this INFp I know. But I'm not 100% sure.

    I'd have to talk with her and interact with her more though to know if she is beta or alpha. I haven't found anything conclusive on the net so far.


    PS: I really like her dress in that interview, for some reason. It's totally hot, and I never say that about dresses.

    Actually, I do not see a strong comparison between you two. You seem a lot more blatantly INFp, like the other INFps I know.


    Maybe KB is ENFp. I am really unsure at this time.

    I've seen enough interviews with her now to write with some confidence that Beta NF seems a long shot... In any of these videos, has anyone seen anything that makes one believe that she values Se..? (echo-o-o-o-o...)

    That said, it's tough to tell between ENFp and INFj... What's cool is that this thread has gotten me into some of her music... Has anyone heard the song suspended in gaffa? It's awesome!! It's nuts--I definitely recommend it, for sure. (Alpha vibe to that song.)

    i really cannot see infj (in her music, interviews, etc.)
    i really think she's infp.
    the mannerisms in the last video posted really remind me of marilyn monroe's. i also thought that her response about her latest album was unexpected (if you're thinking that she's infj). i think infj's like more to define things themselves and to sort of make sure that people see their ideals and visions the way that they do.
    does her musical style remind anyone else of tori amos?

    There's definitely a lot of Fe in her lyrics and musical arrangements... Also, I see what you mean about Marilyn Monroe in that last interview... Typing by just those elements, I'd tend agree with you about INFp... I'll tell you what too, her accent throws me for a loop, haha.

    I've noticed this though: in her interviews, Fe is not very strong. Fi is more so... I could see her being INFp if behaviors that I've classified as Fi may just be Fe in an one-on-one, intimate interview setting... The group interview posted, however, seems to contradict this idea.

    In other words, good point, lol... I'm not so sure about typing her as Delta anymore.

    My impression is that she seems to have a focused intensity. And that she wouldn't mind being manhandled. I'd say beta NF for her.


    Personally she makes me uneasy. I feel wary about her. She feels untrustworthy.

    I actually feel this way too, somewhat. She seems too intense and out there to me...not necessarily untrustworthy though. It's hard for me to identify with her.

    To clarify ^, I went back and re-watched the videos and concluded that I base my perception on her performances, not her interviews.

    Yes about the intensity thing. When I watch her performances, her videos, I get seriously put off. Like she sacrifices quality of production for theatrics.

    I get the impression of being careful around her from her interviews. She strikes me as being shifty.

    Yes, I agree with this. The "overacting" thing really puts me off in general. I know there's a point to it in the theatrical sense, but it just doesn't appeal to me. It strikes me as fake, which I can't stand.

    I have a hard time typing her really.
    Right now I'm thinking INFp. But I'm not entirely sure.

    I see a lot of Fe and very little Fi in the interviews, actually. It's just that subtle Fe creative kind.

    Also, the thing about Kate Bush's music is that there is so much Fe. Any musician/actor/whatever is going to seem more Fe-ish, but I don't think any type other than Fe-ego would _choose_ Kate Bush's style as his/her personal artistic expression. Just watching her music videos and imagining myself doing her thing gives me an immediate "I would never do that in public" feeling, which makes sense to me because I have 8th function Fe.

    I admit, it's a lot more subtle than I'm used to seeing...

    I'm leaning with you toward INFp.

    I vote IEI. She really REALLY reminds me of Marilyn Monroe in her interviews. The way they look around with that "look" that I now associate with the softer IEIs. It's a very dreamy, "not quite there" thing, with eyes wandering around absentmindedly as if they are searching for just the right words to answer the question with.

    Her music is over-the-top, lol, I just watched some videos and her dancing is um... interesting? But I am strangely drawn to her. I feel a relation to her which usually comes with Beta NFs. She has that freaky, odd quality that IEIs tend to have, especially IEIs in the entertainment industry.

    IEEs are not like that.

    Yeah. The more I look at her videos the more I can see movements that really remind me of this INFp I know. Her posture, how she uses her eyebrows, etc.

    she is xNFp. The most notable aspect of her interviews is the ease with which she communicates.

    IEEs are not like that.

    i agree, she is very airy in the way she IS and TALKS. IEI is my vote.

    It's awesome when we talk about things like this and arrive at a consensus... I feel like I understand INFp's better.

    not when it's the result of Groupthink though.... but I don't think that's the case here.

    yeah, I agree... I haven't seen a lot of groupthink on this forum, at least lately... there are a lot of pretty independent-minded ppl here at this point in time.

    She's going to do some live shows again

    I have always considered her IEI, but clearly, there's always been an overly extravagant side to her.

    I have the strangest fascination with Kate. She's just so interesting, and I love how she admits to centering her music around the poetry of people.





    I've always wondered about her type. I can definitely see IEI, more so than EII as I see more Ni than Ne. Would love other thoughts!

    @Reficulris and I came to the conclusion that she looks a lot like @severina, actually.
