Leading Function-Ne-p (Paradox & Insight)

"Democracy is the product of the PR industry" (The Century of the Self, 2002) — the paradox that free individual choice is actually a product of psychological manipulation.

Creative Function+Ti-c (Precision & Thoroughness)

The Century of the Self (2002), The Power of Nightmares (2004), The Trap (2007), HyperNormalisation (2016) — building precise argument systems using BBC archive as the creative function.

Vulnerable Function 1-Fi-p weak (Compassion & Consideration)

Weak -Fi-p: "I only see the world through archival footage" — a production style only able to engage with real human beings through the distance of footage.

Vulnerable Function 2+Se-c weak (Reality & Common Sense)

Weak +Se-c: critics noting "cannot show concrete actions to change reality" — consistent avoidance of realistic response. "I critique but don't present alternatives."

Quadra / Temperament / Club

Quadra: Anti-Gamma Quadra (Utopia) — "Capitalism, PR, technocracy, and neoliberalism dominate all life" — fundamental rejection of γ consumption and power.

Temperament: Flexible-Maneuvering temperament: "One-man heavy industry" — energetic filmmaking. A production style impulsively combining music, footage, and archives.

Club: Researcher Club: responding to critics calling his work "exaggerated" with "that's the nature of film" — continuing calmly.

Worldview & Attitude

"The invisible power that manages people in contemporary society exists" — the direct statement of present reality. The ないもの (a world already freed from hidden power) is not proclaimed.

Attitude toward Change: A symbol of hope as the pioneer pointing the direction of BBC documentary-essay filmmaking.
