The Ultimate Socionics Musician List

[Memento Mori]

As the title states, the premise is simple - One thread/post to rule them all. Suggestions below with sufficient validity will be added to the OP. Rather than googling artists individually, let's contribute to make the definitive musician typing thread! VI as a primary or sole basis will not be counted in the OP unless further substantiation is provided. I'm tired of this "Musician + "dreamy eyes" = IEI" bullshit. If You don't pay attention to the artist's behaviour, reasoning, fixations, etc, and You don't know a damn thing about their life, lyrics, values and so forth, the typing will likely not be counted. The variability of situational obfuscation for appearances (eg. tiredness, drugs, mood, depression, etc) is too great to use VI as a sole basis. Most typings are from forums consensus, musically knowledgeable users such as @woofwoofl and some are my own determination. Corrections will be made if substantiation is provided. I struggled to find examples of certain types, so contributions are highly encouraged!

Musicians will be grouped by Quadra, with a representative figure for each typing, along with accompanying interview for analysis. Again, this is a work in progress. We can all perfect this as objectively as possible over time. Now, on with the show!
