Could be. Do we have threads on that concept? I've often felt that some famous people in fact do take on the qualities of their dual....not just in a compensatory, rule-of-thumb sort of way, but in an essential manner so that their work almost seems like that of their duals.

Rick's site suggests that famous people probably are people who focus more on their strengths and delegate their weak areas to others. That's probably true in a lot of cases, but I think that in particular famous classical composers have tended to take on qualities of their dual, at least in their art (probably not in real life as much).

Apparently a number of Socionists have typed Wagner as SLE and Rachmaninoff as LII. Yet Wagner's music dramas seem to be so much about symbolism, inner imagination, a literary quality, and basically IEI...yet with the confidence and attention to details one expects with SLE. Rachmaninoff seems all about F....so if he's really LII, it's LII with very strong Fe.
