Karen and Richard Carpenter

[pianosinger]

So, I pretty much grew up loving The Carpenters. My mom was absolutely in love with them, and my dad liked them, too.

After watching several youtube videos, they both strike me as Introverted, probably Ij's. ESI and LSI Business seems to make some sense.

I'm not very impressed with Karen when I watch her perform "live"; I think she does better as an album singer.

Please chime in with your own opinions. Thx.

I can't pin down Carpenter too well. Some introvert for sure. Richard could be Fe/Ti introvert.

Richard could be Fe/Ti introvert.

Glad you think this, too.

I tend to be a little too eager, I think, to type music composers as Beta Rationals, seeing as I have known a handful in RL and it just seems to be a...trend with them.

It might also be possible, I suppose, that Richard is ENTj, considering how inseparable he and Karen seemed to be.

I also heard once-- can't site a source, though-- that Richard was perceived as somewhat of a "taskmaster."
