INFP (5w4)
David Lynch personality type is INFP, which fits in with the idea that his films are deeply personal and his career is an attempt to develop and express himself and his inner life and to create a world in which he can live.
Lynch's films, like many others with INFPs, show a deep desire to connect with other people and to share their feelings. He has said that with Eraserhead, he was trying to find out "what makes you happy. I was trying to find out what the nature of happiness was. And that's what I've been trying to do with all my films." Lynch also says that he likes the idea of "knowing that someone will come up and watch your movie and really be moved by it."
Lynch and his films both express and explore the INFP's need for deep and meaningful connections with other people. He has described his approach to filmmaking as "like trying to find out the truth about yourself by starting to be close to other people." While Eraserhead was initially intended to be a short film about an alien who comes to earth, it became something much more, something Lynch described as "a big love story."
David Keith Lynch (born January 20, 1946) is an American filmmaker, television director, visual artist, musician and occasional actor. Known for his surrealist films, he has developed his own unique cinematic style which has been dubbed "Lynchian" and is characterized by its dream imagery and meticulous sound design. The surreal and, in many cases, violent elements to his films have earned them the reputation that they "disturb, offend or mystify" their audiences.
