: : I think he's a 4w3 or a 3w4
: +++ that's a gratuitous remark; any arguments to support it?
Aiite.
: Jurriaan was a composer with great imagination and fantasy, very loud when in company, a person who liked drawing attention to himself,
3
: very humorous, could tell stories in a colorful way, charming, person; so that people loved him.
2w3
: He was allways laughing,, a vain entertainer,
3
: very engaging and enthusiastic joker, who could talk endlessly on things. However his brashness and his public clown-mask was hiding a worrier,
6
: a restless and intense person who feared that his talent would not get recognition,
3
: jealous when other artists got recognition and who could do extreme things, he could change the atmosphere in a group from cold to hot, but also tried to force family life into the direction he wanted it to go.
8, 3
: Once he kept a child upside down against her will for entertainment purposes.
7
: People either liked him or disliked him; it was rather bipolar. He was fanatically idealistic on ecological idea’s, using second hand furniture which he got from the household refuse which he searched for in the streets. His main project was a musical portrait of his wife Hedwig, painting her by writing music notes (see image); on which he worked 5 years. The creative and new thing is that this portrait can be played and beautiful music results; it sounds a bit like Mozart’s music.
4, 2 (this activity counts a lot, which is why I include 4 in his possible profile)
: There appeared to be another ‘secret project’ too; for many years he went towards the swimming bath for a strange excercise; trying to keep under water as long as he could; making it longer and longer every time.
3
: The change of body fluid chemistry that occurs when you do this, made him feel more relaxed.
7
: He was warned time and again that he was playing with his life, one bath-master even left the building when Jurriaan entered it. The end of it came when finally he got a fatal blackout and was discovered too late to be saved. He left a wife and young child behind.
Perhaps this was a lengthy suicide project? He was used to doing that lenghty projects….
This also kind of hints towards 4, although I'm not going to make any bets. Suicide can be for nearly any motivation.
He's a 3 or a 4. I'm not sure which.
