Well I think thats the biggies, bar Scorcese (a Feeler), Ridley Scott (who I really don't care for). the Wachowskis (NTs?), the Coen brothers (also NTs?) and Francis Ford Coppola (another Feeler).

 

[Killjoy]

Isn't Lynch an INTx?

And Scorsese is probably an IxxP. I've also seen Spielberg listed as ISFP.

And for the Coens:

Joel: INTJ

Ethan: INXP

I think that Lynch was typed as INFP here.

There was a whole argument about how Spielberg wasn't an ISFP somewhere on this forum also.

Thanks for the rest though. Will add.

 

[Killjoy]

Lynch seems Ni dominant to me...

Now, Ingmar Bergman is an INFP.

How about Tarkovsky? INFx?

 

[The Ü™]

Chris Columbus: ISFJ

Rob Zombie: ISTP

Michael Bay may be an ExTJ.

Martin Scorsese is an INFJ, in my opinion.

And Spielberg has the mannerisms of an NF, and I've also done research on the guy. He really seems to be an ENFP. (Keirsey types him as ISFP, and he also types Woody Allen as an ISTP, which I don't understand, either.)

Rob Zombie not ESTP?

And perhaps reasonings on the other types?

Will add Chris Colombus, Micheal Bay and change Scorsese.

I could see ESTP for Zombie, as well.

Michael Bay is said to be somewhat like James Cameron in the way he works (an obsessive control freak). I could've said ESTP because the kind of movies he makes appeals to that sort of crowd, but I think that's only the tip of the iceberg. Although I think ENTJ is more likely than ESTJ.

I also think M. Night Shyamalan may be an INFx.

I agree on Shyamalan. (ADDS)

Gondry - xNTP?
How about Cronenberg? xxxP?

 

[The Ü™]

I think Sam Mendes might be an ISFP.

 

[dynamiteninja]

I think Sam Mendes might be an ISFP.

Why? I don't necessarily disagree per se.

David Fincher -- ISTP? Technical Whiz, Visual Stylist (Charlie Rose Interview) (Fight Club, Seven, Zodiac, Benjamin Button)

Could you begin to explain some of these typings so that I can begin to digest them please?

 

[Edgar]

Isn't Lynch an INTx?

From what I read about him, that guy is an INFJ.

 

[dynamiteninja]

Ok, added all those directors (thanks ManWithNoName). Search around in the threads as to why George Lucas isn't an INTJ, but is in fact INFP (supposedly). I've also rearranged the types by order of number of directors for ease of reference.

 

[Killjoy]

From what I read about him, that guy is an INFJ.

I'm starting to agree with Lynch being an NF after rewatching Mulholland Drive and The Straight Story.

I'm leaning toward INFJ for Andrei Tarkovsky after this interview:
