    Default The Little Prince

    by Antoine de Saint-Exupery. One of my favorite books, and reread many times.

    Is it Delta or Beta? Despite the fact that I am Delta and would like to believe that this book is Delta, I have to say that I find a lot of Ni-Ego in the book. Like, "what is essential is invisible to the eye"...It is also very child-like, though, taking a more "infantile" view of the world. There also doesn't seem to be a whole lot of Fe-valuing going on.

    When I was in high school, I once spent the whole afternoon in my room reading the book from cover-to-cover (I believe it was my second read-through, but the first time in one sitting), and was so touched by the end of it that I was sobbing.
    My life's work (haha):

    I had to read the book a couple times in grade school--I think once for English class and once for French class . TBH i didn't really like it either time. I thought it was a little crazy out there with the traveling to the other planet, etc.

    The Alchemist is apparently supposed to be a sort of a take on The Little Prince per reviews, but I actually am enjoying The Alchemist a lot more. Perhaps because it's more realistic, and not so much like someone wrote it while high on psychedelics like The Little Prince seemed to be (to me).

    In this sense, I agree that The Little Prince seems to be infused with a lot more Ni than I would prefer.

    Glad you like the book . I also enjoyed Alchemist way more than Little Prince.

    If he is EII, then there is no need. I definitely think it is more likely that he is EII than IEI, but maybe he is neither. The author however is most likely EIE-Ni.
