Andrei Tarkovsky MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Andrei Tarkovsky? Andrei Tarkovsky is an INFJ personality type in MBTI, 5w4 - sp/sx - 549 in Enneagram, RLOAI in Big 5, IEI in Socionics.
He is the poster image of INFJ. Period. It is ridiculous to think this man was anything other than a Ni dom. Clear as day. Andrei's own words: "I know a lot about my dreams. They are very important to me. But I don't like to reveal them. What l can tell you is that my dreams fall into two categories. There are prophetic dreams that come to me from the transcendent world, from beyond. And there are random dreams that come from my contact with reality. Prophetic dreams come to me aslam falling asleep. When my soul separates from the plains of earth and rises to the summits of the mountain. Once man is away from the plains of the everyday he slowly begins to awaken. At the moment of awakening his soul is still pure and his dream images are full of meaning. It is these images brought back from on high that liberate us. But the problem is that these images very quickly become muddled with the images of the plains and become difficult to retrieve. What is certain is that up there time is reversible. Which proves to me that time and space only exist in the material incarnation. Time is not objective." "My purpose is to make films that will help people to live, even if they sometimes cause unhappiness." "This is where the mystery, like the mystery of Creation, resides. When one kneels down in front of an icon to pray, one finds the right words to express one's love to God, but these words remain secret, mysterious. Likewise, when an artist finds characters, stories, it is as if he prayed. He enters into communion with God in creation, and he finds the right words. That is where the mystery of Creation. comes from. Here, art takes on the form of a gift. Art can only "serve" if it is a gift." "Art addresses everybody, in the hope of making an impression, above all of being felt, of being the cause of an emotional trauma and being accepted, of winning people not by incontrovertible rational argument but through the spiritual energy with which the artist has charged the work. And the preparatory discipline it demands is not a scientific education but a particular spiritual lesson." Ni-Fe-Ti.
Biography
Andrei Arsenyevich Tarkovsky (Андре́й Арсе́ньевич Тарко́вский, April 4, 1932 – December 29, 1986) was a Soviet film director, writer, and theorist. Tarkovsky entered the State Institute of Cinematography after finishing his expedition in Siberia. By this time, Stalin had died and Khrushchev was opening up the Soviet Union, so Tarkovsky was able to see and study the films of such greats as Ingmar Bergman and Akira Kurosawa, influencing him to become an auteur. This openness also led him to explore many themes in his films, such as man's role in the world, dreams vs. reality, the nature of religion, morality and freedom of choice. His films were controversial with Soviet authorities because Tarkovsky dared to ask these heavy questions instead of accepting their dogma. This gave his films extra credentials outside the Soviet Union, especially in the West, whose film critics gave high praise to each of his films.
