ENTP (5w4)
Paul Schrader personality type is ENTP, which is an entirely different type. It would seem that, because Schrader’s career has been so closely tied to the film industry, he would be an ENTP. He is an ENTP in his real life though, not really in his work.
When Schrader was in his early 20s, he wrote a script for a film called American Gigolo. The script was eventually rejected by director Paul Verhoeven, but when he re-read the script in 2000, he apparently realized that the screenplay was in fact an “Einsteinian” work, in which Schrader had created a whole new type of character. The script was so good that Verhoeven decided to make it after all, and it became what is now considered to be one of the greatest movies of all time.
But how could Schrader have created such an original, brilliant movie without being an ENTP? The answer is that he wasn’t an ENTP. He wasn’t even close. He was actually an INFP (Extrovert Intuitive Feeling Perceiving).
Schrader has always been enamored with theory and philosophy.
