Personality

What personality type is Lars von Trier? Lars von Trier is an INFJ personality type in MBTI, 4w5 - sx/sp - 451 in Enneagram, RLUEI in Big 5, ILI in Socionics.

Edit further-NiTi INFJ with repressed Fe due to his upbringing. INTJs are a lot more dryer and just feel totally different-"It's hard to believe that this plumpish, bearded, Mr Magoo-like man in spectacles who likes cracking jokes and is so hospitable to visitors manages to stir up quite so much controversy."-An INTJ described like this?" Further complicating INTJs’ social life is their use of Extraverted Thinking (Te). The majority of males, at least in the United States, are TP types, all of who use Extraverted Feeling (Fe) rather than Te. This gives TPs (including the INTP) a leg up when it comes to casually connecting with others in social situations. TPs often enjoy social situations (at least for a stint), which grant them opportunities to showcase or sharpen their social chops. By contrast, INTJs, along with other Te types, often loathe unfamiliar social situations. They find it painfully difficult to “rub elbows” or engage in any measure of “small talk” with strangers. This further intensifies their sense of being “different” from their peers." I grew up in a culturally radical home, where strong emotions were forbidden." Very INFJ quote-"Evil gives you far more strings to pull. But I must say that I have never been interested in the psychology of evil, not in the slightest. Perhaps I'm not interested in evil, but in the dark sides of human beings." He was "very scared" when he was growing up. "I was brought up in a very free upbringing, but that could be seen as [the parents] not taking responsibility for your child in a way. Also, I went to a very firm school where they [the teachers] were hitting the children." The kids who were used to being beaten back home didn't have a problem with the discipline. Von Trier wasn't so fortunate. "For little Lars, who wasn't beaten back home, it was a terrible encounter. I was just thinking that the more civilised you grow up, the less fit you are to meet the world." "He comes to the set extremely prepared." He’s a very caring person, which might surprise people. He’s not like his films at all – he has an absolutely brilliant, very dark sense of humour. He’s very open and very direct – maybe that’s the most Danish part of him, because he’s not very Danish in his art. "He grew up, in Copenhagen, in a radical Communist household where, as he once put it, everything was allowed except for “feelings, religion, and enjoyment.” Edit-I mixed his films up with David Fincher, nonetheless Trier is an INFJ. I've just been watching interviews-Clear Ni dom and he's TiFe. The INTP votes are bizzare, he's got the NiSe squinty eyed gaze, like Billy Corgan and several others. Also has nobody seen that film of his (He might be my favorite director (Or Martin Scorsese) but I haven't studied him in depth) with the rapee scene, you think that's an INTP? Go and watch that scene and say that's someone without Se in their stack. Se can be a very violent function, that's why most sociopaths are ESTPs, TPs in general can be very anti-social. Se and Te are the two most aggressive functions, if you don't know that you don't know what functions look like, INTPs are more placid. Te is more sadistic and OCPD. This brings me to Bundy's type, functionally he's an NTP but INTPs are a lot more innocent and naive, this is why I go with ENTP for Bundy over INTP. Dahmer is an ISTP and the people voting INTP don't understand functions. NTJs are not conflict adverse-"I take a lot of responsibility, practically no matter who I'm with. Even for an interview to go well. ... I am very polite and well-mannered. Pretty shy of conflict, actually. ... But deep down I don't like my polite side." Compare him with David Lynch, who's an INTJ director-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4wh_mc8hRE
