In fact, he even practiced catholic rites merely for the beauty of it not for the religious context. At first glance, I thought Wilde was an ESFP because he was such a sensual, glamour driven person, but then it occurred to me that he was deliberately shallow.
He wanted to lack depth purely because it was the norm to value depth. Like Like. He was very principled, but I also think that his were sometimes very ironically contradictory of each other.

This is most unlikely, to judge from his correspondence. He seems to have been infatuated with Florence Balcombe who later married Bram Stoker for two years until he left Oxford in , and had previously flirted with other young women in Dublin.
He married Constance Lloyd in , swiftly had two children with her and, by his own account, was blissfully happy in the first few years of his marriage. Oscar was certainly influenced by the aesthetic theories of John Ruskin and Walter Pater while at Oxford, and he adopted the pose of an effete young man, but he went up as a scholar to Magdalen and came down with a double first in classics and the Newdigate prize for poetry.
This took considerable application as his contemporaries later testified and his surviving Oxford notebooks demonstrate. Oscar's 'serious' side is often overlooked. He spent a year in the US in lecturing about the decorative arts; he edited a high-profile woman's magazine for two years; he wrote thought-provoking and controversial critical essays as well as many art exhibition, theatre and book reviews.
He also applied twice, unsuccessfully, to become an Inspector of Schools; his effect on English education could have been startling. In the sense that The Importance of Being Earnest and Lady Winderemere's Fan are archetypically 'English' plays - perhaps; but there is a profound Irishness underlying much of what Oscar wrote and thought, especially in his correspondence. Both explanations seem to have been conveniently invented years later with little or no foundation in fact. If either had been true, Edward Carson, the Marquess of Queensberry's defence lawyer in the libel trial, would certainly have pinpointed them, as he did the overtly gay passages in the magazine publication of The Picture of Dorian Gray which were later suppressed in the book.
When Oscar's libel action against Queensberry collapsed, Queensberry's lawyers sent all their papers to the director of public prosecutions, who consulted the solicitor-general and the home secretary and then immediately applied to the magistrates for a warrant. Oscar was arrested at 6.
