Is there a personality classification of artists?

In the film *The Lives of Others*, a Stasi officer describes a personality classification of artists into five "types." The only specific type mentioned is Type 4, "hysterical anthropocentric," which refers to artists who thrive on interaction with other people. According to the film, the Stasi have particular methods of punishment for each type of artist. For instance, Type 4 artists are never allowed a public trial, since they would (apparently) thrive on the attention. Is this an actual classification? (If so, did the Stasi really use it?) If not, is there something similar?

When it comes to real, data driven evidence, the answer is no. There might be pseudo-psychological studies trying to come up with a classification, but it doesn't mean it is to be trusted. People are very different and it is too simplistic to assume one career path will fall into one category of personalities. This doesn't mean there are no attributes that are more easily found in artist, like having huge student debts and working at Starbucks. Joke aside, while there might be personality traits that are more prevalent in artists, there are no "artist personality" in the oficial diagnostic manuals like DSM.
