Having seen tons of video interviews and read Dave Lory's book, I think that Jeff Buckley was very clearly an INFP. He had the clear Fi values in everything he did, but he was also a really strong Ne user--always coming up with funny and quirky things to say, and when he explained or communicated his ideas, he often expressed them through winding thought-feeling, instead of a more direct and concise way like an ISFP would. I see and relate so much to how he felt about a lot of things. His reaction to his father, how it annoyed him when people would talk about him, which overshadowed him in the early months. How he was actually the timid guy who would "never get the girl", at least before he got famous. His mind would shift like the wind blew, and people could never pin him down. He always had to do something a little different to what people expected or wanted. He had his own ideals about being a musician and being famous, and a lot of those beliefs did line up in some ways with how other INFPs, like Kurt Cobain, felt. If he was still alive, he would have created so many albums. He had a lot of ideas, but had trouble nailing them down, and lacked direction. His mind was always changing in that aspect. He didn't have a direct vision, but instead ideas that were shaped by his values, and he'd imagine how things could be without the ability to necessarily bring it out himself; and he himself would change these visions quite frequently, according to those who knew him closely. But with the help of people around him, he would have solidified his career and explored music in increasingly weird and beautiful and haunting ways. It's a shame we won't get to see that. Rest in peace, dream brother.
