Si dominants writers and filmmakers

[xerx]

IMO:

SLI
Agatha Christie
George Sand (intimate relationship with Flaubert, who's usually typed SEE)

SEI
Federico Fellini
Alfred Hitchcock
O. Henry
Diana Wynne Jones

[somavision]

I was going to say Agatha Christie.

[Sol]

Steven Spielberg - SLI
Hitchcock is SLE most probably

[MatthewZ]

Rick types George Lucas as SEI. (With Steven Spielberg as ILE)

[Marep]

Wes Anderson and Sofia Coppola: SEI

[Metamorph]

Sorry, you need ESP to be a writer confirm final. Aushra Augustinaviciute sed, and she was just following a tradition of Jung who also sed. Confirm final.

[Aster]

Alfred Hitchcock seems Ni/Se

[nifl]

Sofia Coppola: SEI

NT

[Sol]

Anna Ahmatova - ISTP

Alfred Hitchcock seems Ni/Se

I think ILI or IEI. His films are very Ni. I don't know how anybody could think he is SEI.

To be fair, lots of older posts kinda have wonky typings. That, and there was a small group that had some strange ideas about Si, spreading that around. Like Stephen King as ESE. As more people grew to get a better idea, so has the whole group on this site (mostly!). So maybe he doesn’t think that now. I mean, when I first started with all this, I typed people that I disagree with now.

I've read some books by Stephen King a long time ago. The first books I read in English. Something about a person travelling across America in a parallell reality. Was very eerie. "The Pet cemetery" and "Misery" (the film) scared the shit out of me. His works have a very unpleasant undertone that I can't explain. Really hauting, gets under your skin. Maybe he is some Ni type. What do you think?

@xerx, so what do you think about Hitchcock now, 13 years later?

[Not A Communist Shill]

I imagine that journalists & critics covering certain niches might be the best place to try and think of Si-dominant writers.

It's easier for me to think of writers and filmmakers who value highly aesthetic style than it is to think of who might be Si-dominant. It doesn't help that I think a lot of correlations between IMs and traits don't actually exist.

Sounds like you read 11/22/63! I loved that book. One thing King has said is that he doesn’t like doing the whole romance thing in books, that he’s uncomfortable with it. He seems to be pretty vocal about politics & social missions on social media, though. It makes me think he’s EIE. A passionate intuitive ethical type. But he could be ILI-D, instead, I guess. Actually, ILI-D might make the most sense. But I do think he is Ni, in any case.

[Ikite iru]

Writers are Ni base

[FreelancePoliceman]

Stephen Chow, maybe SEI.

I had to search for it. The book I read was The Talisman. Genre: "Dark fantasy". Very dark indeed. I haven't read him since high school but maybe I should try again. I remember being drawn to something in his stories, but at the same time it was disturbing, and I'm not sure I would enjoy reading him again, but who knows. I'll keep 11/22/63 in mind. Yes, Ni seems likely.

[Socionics Is Not A Cult]

Stephen Chow, maybe SEI.

If it involves chow, it is generally

[Aster]

@Tallmo

ah, ok. That makes sense because you didn’t mention Kennedy in your summary. 11/22/63 isn’t as dark. It’s more ‘nostalgic’, I’d say, than anything, if you don’t like such a dark tone!

(I’m mentioning you instead of quoting since the site is lagging for me so bad today… )

[Sol]

Stephen Chow - INFP

Writers are Ni base

there is a writing style I like, well, admire, that I associate with si and fi- I notice it in SEE, IEE, SLI, ESE, maybe LSE and my dual a little. Sometimes in the way they speak or write. I notice it in religious language (Christian), in folk songs/ music/ poems and in romantic writing. I can only take it in small doses- and I don’t write in this way myself. When I’ve tried to write poems I can create nice imagery but I can’t do the fancy writing. I like a bit of Taylor Swift, I like the show Outlander (Scottish influenced, set in 1700s, writer is from Arizona/the southwest?) but would find it hard to read the books, I like Welsh and French people but Irish can be a bit intense for me. I have a book of love poems but I don’t read it often- pop music is easier. It’s language that has a lot of depth and soul, articulate, elegant, high minded.

I don’t know an example but a famous quote from Outlander is when Jamie says to Sassenach ‘when the day shall come that we do part, if my last words are not ‘I love you’ ye ken it’s because I did not have time’. swoon etc

it’s kinda serous, slightly old fashioned romantic but not as intense as EIE or Shakespeare or not as sensitive as SEI. I don’t know if I associate it with EII- they are probably capable of it in writing- they seem to be good at a lot of different styles

I'm not sure anymore, sadly.

Content is very character driven apparently. Lacks universal theories and such which makes me want to automatically exclude XIE (or an Ne ego as there is no focus on Ne). Given the character focus this makes it very ethical position and it is hard for me to see King anything else than an IEI.

[Aster]

I think I’ve got one.

edit: this is why SLE, SLI (in theory) and SEE are good for me- they have the romance I need, and why i’m friends with the others I mentioned

who says seeing people in images is a bad thing?

[Bethanyclaire]

Boris Pasternak maybe- he did Doctor Zhivago

he certainly looks like he could be SLI. There is an evil character (in the film) who seems LIE too

[Bethanyclaire]

Stoner, the novel. It’s SEI.
