Personality

What personality type is Francis Ford Coppola? Francis Ford Coppola is an INTJ personality type in MBTI, 8w9 - sx/sp - 854 in Enneagram, SCUEI in Big 5, SLE in Socionics.

Coppola: "Your best idea ... is going to be attacked the most. You have to really be courageous about your instincts and your ideas. Otherwise you'll just knuckle under." Coppola: "I know if I have an idea, no one will want to go through it. But if I persist, people will go through it." Why does Coppola naturally assume that his ideas will be attacked, and that no one will want to go through with them? Why does he insist on 'winning' and 'dominating' rather than coming to a consensus? Can't he just win people over and make concessions in order to get at least part of what he wants? Why does he persist with his one idea rather than choose a different idea? Does he not have a handful of ideas? INTJs have a Te-Fi axis, which naturally sees human beings as fundamentally different. This means that they see their interests as competing with, rather than aligning with those of other people. They have an Ni-Se axis, which naturally sees the world not in terms of a multiplicity of perspectives, but in terms of singular holistic perspectives that carry great weight and necessity in the here and now. This means that they will continually stress the same idea, because they cannot easily add and subtract parts of the idea or change the idea into something else. The idea is a self-contained entity whose significance is self-evident. There is no way around it. ENTPs, on the other hand, are more inclined to believe that the outside world can be sympathetic to their ideas, given the proper argument in favor of them. They are usually willing to make concessions to achieve a consensus and revise their conceptions of a project - conceptions they see as external and continually subject to change. Instead of pushing on the brick wall of public sentiment until it caves in, they will simply find a way around the wall.
