I know it's a gross generalization to categorize an entire movement according to personality types. Still, I'm curious. How would you type some of the major literary or artistic movements in history?



Romantics
Victorians
Modernists
Postmodernists
The Beats
Surrealists
etc. etc.

Hemingway is the most Sensor any one can be. He's like the sensor that all sensors look to.

The Beats were NF/NTs. Lots of metaphorical poetry and snobbery. Good stuff.

Yeah, he is pretty much the poster child for Se.

Yeah, I think NJ's in particular. Of all types INFJ's remind me of Beats the most (though they are also said to be the most literary of all types period).

I'm a big Beatnik, so I'll bite. I would say Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac and Neal Cassady, are all Artisans. I would say most of the Beats are Artisans because Artisans live day by day and create art, and the phrase that keeps coming up in my Beat books, "ready to pick up and go somewhere at a moments notice." That's a spontaneous personality. And they were about making themselves appear more mythical than they were. Also authority, Artisans are against authority, and Howl,America, reads as if its saying f-you status quo. The line "I'm obsessed by TIME magazine, I read it every week," comes to mind." And The Beats read as if a on the front lines, getting their works tried for obscenity charges by Judge Horn, so there's a freedom of speech element there. Then there's people like Gary Synder, who I think is more of an Idealist temperament because his whole thing is the environment and Buddhism, so it's making himself a better person. That's an Idealist Temperament trait. I think Abstract Expressionism is more Artisan, while Pop Art, was Idealistic-Artisan, as it's about the can of soup or the fight jet exploding or the American Flag,Warhol, Lichtenstein, and Johns respectfully. Abstract Expressionism is about the Artist. Jackson Pollock is a great artist,but I can't name a piece of his. He even said, for him it's more about the process.
