    Compare her to Jay-Z or Becky Lynch or JBL, you can spot observable mannerisms in all 3 of them if you watch their interviews in depth

    I think LII-Ti
    Robespierre-guillotine-vengence songs. And looks. I am almost sure I used to know two girls of type and subtype and they were super crazy, I mean, a bit mental. "MY LOGIC". Not very ambitous, high morals yet quite a lot of boyfriends, guys keept at distance and often criticized (with me). Been paranoids about relationsips. Both liked cats.

    Anyway, to me Taylor looks like someone who needs care but is not very prone to admit it and take from anywhere.

    Laziness is not about N-S but rather quadra values, I think. Alpha.

    Robespierre was an EIE though.

    her music seems definitely Se valuing

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcIy9NiNbmo

    don't really know much about her bc I find her music boring and predictable. I would say that SLE seems likely based on an intuitive guess. maybe I will read more about her in the next few days.

    She is obsessed with her personal image/persona and she always manages to find a way to convince herself that she is in the right. Fe-Ti with low intuition. I also think she is an extrovert. SLE or ESE. She is hard to type because she clearly obsessed about micromanaging her public image. If nothing else we can definitely type her as neurotic

    There is no way that SLE is that comfortable singing and striking relations, lol.

    EIE. Seems like her Fi at least wants to run amok which is one of possible ignoring behaviors.

    T types may sing good too. It's trained skill and there nothing special in what she does as a pop tunes singer.
    About how good she deals with relations is not known to you good. But you may see with much higher evidence that she's not emotional in nonverbal.
    Try with your "mighty T" to deal with the information more reasonably.

    in general, to type by a behavior people as famouses is doubtful approach. VI is more useful for this, due to lack of other info and its doubtful truth

    I've just watched this interview:



    from 1:40 on, it looks to me that she has a strong focus on Fe. I would also say that it's very clear that she's an extrovert. the "secret society" comment @2:11 from her makes me lean towards Ni valuing, so yeah, EIE could absolutely be possible.

    I arrived here because I read a column in the newspaper mentioning her, and I wondered: who the fuck is Taylor Swift? I had heard her name on occasion, but never actually saw her on TV or something. Since this thread has 8 pages, we can safely conclude I must be getting old ;-)

    Anyway, I'd say EIE for her type, and I greatly dislike her after seeing some of the videos here. And I hate her music too, lots of pumped-up bass, autotuning shit, the kind of music blue collar betas seem to dig all day long on radio stations that repeat their programming every hour over here in Holland .

    Her music is pretty varied, if by pumped-up bass you mean songs like "...Ready For It?" then that was just a phase and not really representative of her music overall. A good chunk of her discography is pretty much on the opposite spectrum from that, whether it's her first single, "Tim McGraw", or later songs like "Back To December", "Safe & Sound", or "Lover". She has a lot of sentimental songs like those, but she also has a lot of peppy songs like "You Belong With Me", "Our Song", "Shake It Off" and "Paper Rings".

    My best guess is SLE. She is capable of tapping into her Fe, maybe better than most SLEs, and will readily do so when the situation requires, like on interviews or fan meet & greets. I think it can still feel a bit forced compared to EIE/ESE though for which expressing Fe comes more naturally. She has done some interviews where she uses Ti more and she feels much more natural.
    https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5x5x4e

    She has a pretty dry sense of humour, but one thing I will say is that she seems quite excitable, at least as a teenager. Her producer commented that she'd jump and dance around when she was happy with what they created together. I don't really think her "surprised face" was fake, at least not for the first few years. She's mellowed out some in her mid 20s but I'd say she's still pretty excitable for her age. Despite that, she is still pretty good at avoiding emotional outbursts when provoked, at least in public, she's never lost control when people were rude to her.

    She is definitely competitive with a strong desire for recognition and attention that can feel a bit child-like. She recently published some diary entries from when she was 13-27 years old as part of a deluxe album package for fans, and she admitted to bragging to everyone she knew when she got a record deal, and previously admitted to bragging her school that Jay-Z liked her performance of the national anthem at an NBA game when she was 11. Now, as an adult, she knows that she should try to appear at least somewhat humble, so she'll just say something like
    "I was told that you guys broke the attendance record at this venue, I started writing songs to help myself cope with things I was going through and I never expected that I would sell out stadium tours, it means to much to me that thousands of you wanted to share your evening with me because that means you guys relate to what I write and understand what I've been going through"
    (but she'll still make sure to mention that it's a stadium tour and any records she broke)

    When the crowd at a concert is cheering for her, her face is glowing like a child that was just given their favorite candy. Most performers would not show how much they're enjoying the cheering in such a visible way. She often tries to write songs (about one per album) about how she doesn't care what people think and also says that in interviews, but it mostly comes off as Taylor saying those things in an attempt to convince herself to stop caring because I think it's quite obvious that what people think of her affects her.

    People mentioned revenge. I think the prevalence of revenge as a theme in her music is exaggerated, but it certainly does exist, and in addition to retaliation, you also see her always wanting to have the last word and there seems to be a need for her to believe that if someone hurt her, they come out of the situation worse off than her. Like if her and a guy break up, she needed to believe he misses her and regrets not treating her better.

    Not that she stays mad at her exes forever, she can admit wrong-doing, like on "Back To December" and "Afterglow", and forgive, as shown by the dramatic change in the message in "Forever & Always" compared to "Last Kiss" which were both about the same ex-boyfriend.

    Back to the part about being competitive. She got straight As in school, and worked hard to get her career started. She was quite uncompromising when it came to getting what she wanted too, for example, she walked away from record deals when she was 14 because they didn't give her enough control over how she wanted to do things, writing her own songs, etc. For her first album, she insisted that her label hire an unknown demo producer who did her demos because she liked how they worked together, instead of the more established producers her label president introduced her to.

    She does seem to view the world through a lens of conflict which I think is an Se thing. Enemies, threats, etc. A bit of a self-admitted control freak, and she can seem paranoid, although it's not entirely without justification... Is it paranoia to carry wound dressing in your purse when a stalker gets arrested for trying to break into your home every month? Is it paranoia to send a member of her security detail with a locked briefcase containing an ipad with a copy of her song to Ed Sheeran (who she collaborated with) and make him listen with headphones in case the room is bugged to avoid having the song leak when she has had her music leaked previously?

    She also has a bit of an obsession with clues, hidden messages and can seem a bit superstitious. Logically, I think she knows horoscopes aren't real, but she does seem to enjoy them. She was born on December 13, and is semi-obsessed with looking for evidence that 13 is not an unlucky number, and is in fact quite lucky, and now she's always trying to release music on the 13th of a month, or on dates that somehow add up to a 13. She also leaves tonnes of clues in her songs, social media posts and music videos for fans that hint at the meaning behind her art or at her future plans.

    ILE
    This video is quite an eye opener and I share your focus but I disagree on ILE for several reasons and I vote SLE/EIE 3w4 so/sx (definitely so dom). I'm going with thinker too, so SLE.

    This person is highly manipulative and her behaviour is overprocessed so her words amount to nothing. Nobody should use them to inform their typing, no honesty. She says what she thinks will fit the female ESE singer stereotype she has in mind. She is no Shania Twain.

    Some observations:
    - She has ZERO Ne and Si.
    - She favors Se humor.
    - No Fi. This is one of the reasons why I am discarding LIE and LSE as options here.
    - Strong Se over Ni.
    - No ability to emote convincingly. She has the rehearsed smile she pulls off quite aceptably and that is it.

    I typed by nonverbal, VI. It's better for people which are not close IRL to know them good.

    > She has ZERO Ne and Si.

    she does not look as assured in body control. she's N

    it's interesting that her fans call themselves "swifties". it reminds me a little bit of Lady Gaga (another EIE in my opinion). her fans call themselves "little monsters" and she actively interacts with them too.

    Taylor shared some of her diary/journal entries from throughout the years in deluxe editions of her albums, which have since been re-posted on social media by her fans. It's probably only about 1% of her entries, but it's still interesting to see what she chose to share. Most of her entries are about being excited about the things she's been experiencing, but there's some moments of reflection as well.

    August 14, 2013


    Watch Hill, RI


    This week, I spent most of my time watching TV, some of it swimming in the pool, a significant amount of time feeling incomplete, then wondering why because I have the life I've always wanted. Then hating myself for feeling any way ungrateful for this mostly perfect life.

    But this mostly perfect life can feel a lot like being a tiger in a wildlife enclosure. It's pretty in there, but you can't get out.

    It's peculiar to me that after all these years, I still get so anxious when I see a group of people staring, amassed outside my house, pointing, camera phones up... They could never imagine how much that feels like being hunted. And no matter how big my house is or how many albums I sell, I'm still going to be the rabbit. Because the hunters will always outnumber me. The spectators will stand by shaking their heads going "That poor girl."

    But the point is, they're still watching. Everyone loves to watch a good hunt.

    I worry for my generation and the ones after that because they will never truly experience a moment without attempting to capture it and own it. I am of the generation where you see a beautiful flower growing through the sidewalk, and you pick it. You take it with you to show everyone you know. Whereas I think our ancestors might come upon a beautiful flower and stop and think "wow that is really beautiful".

    Nevermind that picking a flower kills it, the same way taking a picture of a moment can ruin it altogether. They need to possess things.

    They need photographic proof that they were there. They need to then post that photo online so that their friends can see it. So that they can spend all day checking the comments underneath. That level of possession worries me.

    "For these people the most important thing in life is to be rich, powerful, beautiful, successful, skillful. Perceives this as a challenge and ties his self-esteem to such things, so worries a lot about them. If something does not come together, it becomes almost as if a catastrophe.

Ruin, old age, lack of social success, ugliness in terms of social standards for such a person can even become a motive for suicide. In passive self-defense they may, on the contrary, cease to monitor the appearance and go unkempt. In general, they tend to believe that a profession one must leave on time, so as not to disgrace themselves. Afraid to look weak and like to present themselves as bold, strong. For this reason they may, for example, engage in martial arts, for "the show", to learn some tricks and dangerous maneuvers and show them off wherever possible, as well as sports. Such a man needs to be constantly taking to new heights and this, strangely enough, is also his weak point. Sometimes, if everything is going smoothly in his life, at some point he can drop everything and go to another town to "start over", thus increasing self-esteem. Very strongly socially conditioned. If someone needs something - then automatically it becomes necessary for him, and he will start trying to get it, too, using any method. What is intended for him and lies within his reach bores him, if he doesn't need to win it over, to conquer it. Hence there may be similar problems in personal relationships, that become a constant race for the unattainable. And as soon as it becomes reachable, then all interest is lost - this is the paradox.To be able to overcome everything and win is the main motive of their activity. The worst thing for them - to lose, this means disgrace. Because of this, do not like to get involved in those businesses where it is too difficult to win. On this function there cannot be any large risks, thus he typically comes up with difficult, even very complex tasks, but that are solvable and achievable. These tasks are most often associated with existing skills, rather than requiring the development of new ones. They need social success, a universal recognition of their victory. Can come up with an unusual way to improve his self-esteem: suddenly fall ill, then go in for heavy treatment, recover, and take this as his own achievement and victory."

    This person is highly manipulative and her behaviour is overprocessed so her words amount to nothing. Nobody should use them to inform their typing, no honesty. She says what she thinks will fit the female ESE singer stereotype she has in mind. She is no Shania Twain.

    Some observations:
    - She has ZERO Ne and Si.
    - She favors Se humor.
    - No Fi. This is one of the reasons why I am discarding LIE and LSE as options here.
    - Strong Se over Ni.
    - No ability to emote convincingly. She has the rehearsed smile she pulls off quite aceptably and that is it.
    What do you think of her design choices for her first home which she designed when she was 17-19 years old? Her concert stage design from that time (Speak Now tour) also has a similar aesthetic. Her design sense since then seems to be more in line with what you see in that Vogue interview, but her first apartment looks interesting to say the least.









    This aesthetic style only lasted a year or two from what I can tell, she wrote a song around then about how the fear of the responsibilities of adulthood hit her when she moved out of her parents home, so maybe the interior design was to make it easier to indulge in taking a break from the responsibilities of adulthood when her work day was over?

    I'm not sure how much information you can get from a music video where she's very much playing a character, but there is some information from other sources that matches golihov's description.

    When in an interview, she was asked about how in all the pictures of her walking around, she looks so great, immaculately dressed and groomed, ready to smile for the cameras, how she never allows herself to be seen angry or sad. She said that there are times when she doesn't feel well and isn't in the mood to look good for the cameras, but that she doesn't leave the house (or other private areas) when she feels that way.

    When she was 15, she wrote a song called "Tied Together With A Smile", which is about a girl who hides her self-esteem issues behind a smile and pretty outward appearance. She claimed the song was about a friend who confessed to her that she was bulimic. However, she did recently reveal that she often had a strict diet to stay skinny, and that she's started to accept that she doesn't have to hate every ounce of fat on her body, and that she feels better that way. To be clear, she still has a slim, athletic build, but there were many periods in the past where she was underweight or close to it, like when she was friends with a lot of runway models. So some people have started to wonder if this was her way of hinting at body image issues (perhaps even eating disorders), and whether she could relate to that "friend" from "Tied Together With A Smile" on a more personal level than she initially let on.

    She has a song called "The Moment I Knew" about running away to the bathroom to cry during her birthday party because her boyfriend did not come as promised. So it does seem like she is deeply affected by public humiliation, but she doesn't show it in public. This is also true with the 2009 VMAs incident. Minutes after that happened, she was rushed to change into a different dress and perform "You Belong With Me". The first half of the performance was pre-recorded, but the second half where she runs out of the subway and into the street was not, and she maintained her composure for that performance, even though many inside sources claim that she burst into tears in the change-room (I think that was in between the You Belong With Me performance and the moment when Beyonce invited Taylor to join her on-stage, by which point she had regained her composure).

    Katie Couric: "In 10 years [...] where do you see yourself professionally"
    Taylor Swift: "I don't want to do this after people get tired of me. I want to know when that line is."

    I think she mentioned something similar one or two other times when asked about the future of her professional career, that perhaps she would write for other artists once people got tired of seeing her face.

    Although I don't think she flaunts her wealth too much, she usually doesn't wear expensive jewelry and clothes (except when fashion designers pick outfits for her for red carpet events), or drive particularly expensive cars, she does seem quite competitive and like she wants to be seen as successful and talented. I don't think she takes criticism very well, at least public criticism. She has said that she values working with people who will provide constructive criticism, but that's different, since it's done in private and can help her avoid the humiliation of public criticism by improving herself/her art. So I think she is capable of recognizing that she isn't perfect, and therefore of accepting criticism in private, but finds it painful when she is criticized in public in a way that can affect her social standing.

    Yes, she has mentioned that she is always looking for new ways to challenge herself. Sometimes, that can mean focusing on different kinds of endeavors from the past, like she's often been self-depreciating about her athletic abilities, but she recently learned to do the splits and showed off that new ability in her music video for "Delicate". (I think that's actually relatively difficult to learn in your late 20s especially when you're tall (around 178cm) like her.)

    Perhaps this can describe her decision to change genres? She was very successful with country-pop, and then began incorporating rock, pop and folk influences on "Red" before going full-out pop star with her "1989" album.

    Well I'm not sure pursuing a career in music is an endeavor that lacks "large risks". Maybe it depends how you define large risks? She wasn't even in high school when she got her first record deal, so if it didn't work out she could always go to university and do something else.

    Or perhaps she decided to become a singer when she was still naive enough to think she had a decent chance of success (when she was 11 years old) and her classmates telling her she was stupid to think she could succeed at that gave her added motivation to succeed even when she started to realize how difficult it would be and started to experience some setbacks.

    What is Don Juan IEI's sense of humour like? Taylor's sense of humour is quite dry, but can also be a bit self-depreciating.

    interesting. I think David Keirsey once mentioned that it's very common for idealists (NF) to be anorexic. I disagree partly with that statement though. I think it has more to do with Se, so it's more common among victim types. maybe a personal statement, but Taylor reminds me a lot of a girl I've dated around a year ago who was also an EIE, same body, same height and a very similar face, that's probably why I'm a little fascinated with her. she also cried a lot because of many different things, but she didn't want to show any weakness to anyone. one thing to keep in mind is that Golihov's descriptions are called "aspects in the valued functions", so I think they don't fit exactly with every person, but they give great insights into the motivations of a type.

    "In general, they tend to believe that a profession one must leave on time, so as not to disgrace themselves."

    I thought this statement was extremly interesting. I remember typing Kurt Cobain as EIE and later reading about his suicide note that said: "it's better to burn out than to fade away"

    the don juan comment was made by victor gulenko. in his EIE description he writes: "Himself is either a loyal and devoted partner or a Don Juan.". judging from her videos (especially Blank State), it seems to me that she has a rather careless attitude when it comes to dating, considering that her relationships with men also seem to be very short.

    I am no expert but I would expect a Si using sensor to have a more cohesive decoration rather than a collection of colorful/shinny items that do not fit an overall theme. Yeah, ENFp/INFjs can be all over the place too but still. When Si has items that do not fit it is usually becouse its a trigger for a memory, not a decorative piece, imho. Her place screams "look I focus on one item at a time". Vogue video has a mixture of old Taylor and some modern minimalism areas and items that again, show no cohesive theme. They do not fit well together. She has no taste or sense of overall aesthetics, which I find uncharacteristic, being an enneagram 3 and all. I would expect more awareness.

    Regarding other posts in this thread, and her sensibility to criticism, I think thats more a result of being a Three than Jungian type.

    Anyway, it is hard to untangle the product from the person here and we risk putting people in boxes by quoting stereotypes as defining characteristics instead of the heuristics they are. I am at a loss with her, really. I can even see ENTp as Sol claims, if I squint at it.

    If I didn't know this was Taylor Swift and just naming the quadra for this apartment I would say Alpha, it has a chaotic quirky sense yet you can see some thought and order went into it. Creative chaos. This isn't the apartment of a Delta in any sense. ENFp is the only type that would have this apartment, yet even then it looks like to much thought went into making it eccentric and comfortably whimsical. Def had interior designers/ and or feedback when she designed it.

    This clip blew my mind, this is exactly what a ENFp 'does', looks for meaning using extroverted clues from reality and finding more meaning in conjunction with introverted ethics.

    The writing here is brilliant. Edit: not all ENFp are this 'psycho'. Still the pattern and ability is accurate.

    I believe Taylor Swift is expert in giving the right clues for her extroverted duals.

    zero Ne and Si?

    What about that house, that house is a Si treasure trove of impressionable spaces. Zero Ne? How about the automatic spit-fire answers to all those questions. A Se type is going to go hur-dur and a Ni type is going to go "I don't know" for a whole bunch of the more obscure questions.

    Back to the drawing board for you.
