I'd start chewing... because a person who has their own thriller series on Television (Alfred Hitchcock presents...) and frequently cameos in his own work doesn't particularly seem "I" in nature. He's certainly NT at any rate. There is a good interview at URL:http://zakka.dk/euroscreenwriters/interviews/alfred_hitchcock.html Here's just a snippet...

"Let's look at me psychologically. I don't feel any of the things that my characters feel, I have no such desires. My God, I've been happily married to the same woman for thirty-six years. I have no identification with my characters. If I did, I couldn't picture them as objectively as I do."

Definitely a "T".

If Hitchcock is an E, I'll eat my hat.

yeah, silliness.

"Once the screenplay is finished, I'd just as soon not make the film at all...I have a strongly visual mind. I visualize a picture right down to the final cuts. I write all this out in the greatest detail in the script, and then I don't look at the script while I'm shooting. I know it off by heart, just as an orchestra conductor needs not look at the score...When you finish the script, the film is perfect. But in shooting it you lose perhaps 40 per cent of your original conception."

I'd be open to debate, maybe he's INTJ, but wouldn't a J insist on asserting more control so the product is "perfect"?

I do wonder what he is, because I appreciate and feel akin to his style and worldview, and wonder if it says anything about my type.
