A Noob from the EI made the following typings...I feel like tearing him to pieces but that's probably a bit too mean. Now for those who read any of these writers, they're up for grabs
( Read more... )
I blush to admit, I haven't read most of them. Of many, I haven't even heard (to my credit, I've mostly been reading Ovid lately).
Off the top of my hat, I'd say Tolstoy is no 3, Austen a 1 (as you suggested yourself), Rushdie could well be a 7 (from what little I've read), but just as well a 4w3, Milton is no 3 either, Nabokov not a soc-first, Byron rather a 4.
Byron may actually be a 4, as people usually assume, but from reading biographies on him, he also showed strong tendencies towards sx 7. Hompo and I discussed that on the EIDB years ago...
Anyway, why is it no one can correctly type sevens? Ken Kesey and Allen Ginsberg are definitely both sevens. Byron was an 8w7, I don't care what anybody says about it. Jane Austen was probably like a sp 6w5....ridiculous. As if there's that many 3w4s in literature...it's not exactly an art form that appeals to them above all others.
I have not read any Burgess, unfortunately. I have an inkling that intellectual seven writers are often mistyped though (many Sevens are imo very idea-centered/experimental when they wrote)
ahaha 3w4s yah lol. i was thinking the other day id maybe rather a new type but things have turned illustrious again. havent read many anyway, of those i have i would guess tolstoy as like a 9/1 ? austen a 1 agreed, and wharton also struck me as a 1.
sylvia plath is what 4/5 sp/sx as she is typed, at lest 4w5. i read a little chaucer, thinking maybe 7-6 range or 9 but nao sei. milton i think i had to read for criping hs history but really not much clue there - most of that stuff sounds 1ish to me when its academic or philosophy for school im not gonna lie.
robert frost ive only read a few poems but i would guess the 1-9 line too lol. dieu, quem sabe im no better than thiz guy here.
i actually think one could imagine that even moreso perhaps for the older authors, pre modern media or before so wild, that literature and getting published would be v hot, as a prospect for an avg 3w4 but anyway its a null point and dont change that many of those 3/4s as called are likely very wrong.

Sorry, that's it.

Some that I've read, like Wharton, Chaucer, and O'Connor, I really don't have a firm idea of type-wise.

I found him to type a number of sevens as fives. Conrad, for instance, is another Seven.
