David Foster Wallace

Glanced at the Charlie Rose interview. I think Wallace VI's ILE.

in several interviews I've seen, he explicitely judges things in "good" and "bad", something that is extremly common among ethical types. he also mentioned several times that fame has a huge importance on a person's life and he struggled with many inferiority complexes. it fits the EIE description very well. the act of shooting himself with a shotgun is also something that is way more likely to be done by an Se valuing type, and Infinite Jest has a lot of hamlet parallels. his face shows many expressions during interviews. ILE is just not a very politically motivated type, like alpha in general. I think this is evidence enough that he was most likely an EIE, even though I intially thought that he was an ILE too.

So he's e1-fixed, quite possibly his wing for an ILE 9w1. Him judging on "good" or "bad" has nothing to do with him being an ethical type.
