Georges Bataille MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Georges Bataille? Georges Bataille is an INFJ personality type in MBTI, 5w4 - sx/so - 548 in Enneagram, RLUEI in Big 5, EIE in Socionics.
Bataille fits better the description of a 4 given his obssession with how pain works as a form of extasis and its spiritual and dramatic importance (his essay on Van Gogh is a clear example), and 4s according to Naranjo make suffering and intense emotions an integral part of their ego. His lust for that which is esoteric and taboo is just another manifestation of his 4 core, and the incorporation of this elements in his aesthetic. I think he's a sx4 given his extreme rebelliousness against a multiple of traditions and any form of idealism, and his agressive revolutionary personality.
