Personality

What personality type is Harmony Korine? Harmony Korine is an INTP personality type in MBTI, 4w5 - sx/sp - in Enneagram, in Big 5, SEI in Socionics.

I see type 8 in his tri-type. He was described as being a provocative person by himself and an interviewer at one point. This seems to be type 8 behavior: challenging people for the thrill of it more than anything. I see type 7 in his tri-type because of his self-sacrificing tendencies for self-indulgent or even hedonistic purposes. When he's been more healthy, his films are centered around themes of hedonism and chasing pleasure to escape for better or for worse; this is type 7 in its essence. Like deciding to make a film consisting entirely of clips of himself annoying people and getting beat up, or the entire concept behind spring breakers. This to me shows the traits of his 487 tri-type clearly. Provocative, self-sacrificing for the sake of having fun or an equally shallow pleasure, and able to do anything just to achieve his aesthetic vision even if he harms himself and exhibits self-defeating behaviors. And just general values of hedonism and fun. Korine seems to enjoy putting himself in uncomfortable situations and trolling people. This doesn't seem like type 9 behavior. This is of course an example of an unhealthy type 4, but I still think the argument works for Korine in particular. On the bright side, by James Franco's word, and more recent interviews with him, Harmony is more sane and healthy now with less self-defeating behaviors
