I think it's a bit silly. I can see where they get the idea, but it seems more like it should be a joke than something to take seriously. I tend to read all sorts of everything, for instance! If anything, my least favorite genre is adventure. It's cool and stuff, but often too little characterization. Never seen Raiders of the Lost Ark though, even though I'm an archaeologist.
Well, I think it works fine if we just see it as a generalization. People are more complex than this, so just because someone watches an Alfred Hitchcock film doesn't make them a Six. However, I think if we examine which TYPES of movies tend to resonate with someone of a particular type, a majority within a type will find something to resonate with within the listed genres.
It also matters on how squarely within the type the person is. My FIL, for example, was a very stereotypical 6 and/or ISTJ, and the movies here describe his tastes exactly. yes, he did watch some other things from time to time, but espionage, thrillers, and Te-style fiction were his staple. However, I can think of ISTJs within my generation or younger who have probably more interest in the various Star Trek, comic-book, and off-beat films. (And my FIL would actually watch the TV scifi shows.)
Similarly, my ISFJ mom and my ISFJ MIL (both 2's) only really ever were interested in romantic comedies and almost nothing else; I see female 2's gravitate to romantic comedies, but they tend to be more diverse nowadays.
(And I will say as a 5w4 who has some 9 behaviors, pretty much she nailed all my favorite genres -- Speculative/horror, tragic/bittersweet drama, and fantasy/whimsy. I do like other movie styles from all across the given range, depending on the craftsmanship; but those are my favorites.)
I can see the thought behind each of the type/genre pairings she made in this article, and in
general, I think she's right -- the genre in question will fit pretty squarely within a conventional member of the type listed. But I think especially as we move away from center, we'll see more deviation from type; and some people will be very diverse in their story tastes.
I'm not sure of the
practical value of her comments, they are not necessarily predictive or say something meaningful about a particular person.
