So I'm not really good at it but does anyone care to take a shot at typing the different characters? I love this series. Best show I've watched in a looong time. What would you say is Hank Moody's (David Duchovny character's) type?

I dont know all the names yet and just watched like 8 episodes but I'll give it a try.

I think Hank is definitly ENP. If it's ENFP or ENTP I am not sure yet and its always hard with fictional characters to pinpoint that down exactly.

His best friend the bold guy, I'ld type esfp or isfp. His best friends wife, I would say ISFJ.

Hank's great love is definitly INFJ. That I am pretty sure off. Her husband Bill (or was it Bob :D) it'ld type ISTJ or INTJ.

His little daughter I think INFP and Bill's daughter I would give the ENFJ tag.

According to all this NF tags, I see Hank going into a F direction aswell. I probably would type him to be ENFP at the moment. But it's really hard to tell, I myself havent found a liable method to find out if its ENTP or ENFP with a person, they have too much in common.

What I've seen so far that the term "idea" is something that is used often with Hank. His great love for example said "You like the idea of love".

From that point of view, I am tempted to see him more in the ENTP direction. I think a ENFP would handle things better, his primary goal would be a quest for harmony through Fi and that's something I dont see in Hank.

He is more the spontaneous idea guy, who lives for the moment (linear thinking) as opposed to the F guy, who would consider the consequences of his actions (holistic thinking).

I would say so far ENxP and I guess, because he is a fictional character, one shouldnt look deeper into it, because in the end there will be many real facts and things missing that make up a real person.

Gonna watch episode 9 now, show is just great :D

I like it, it's pretty sassy :D

I wouldn't really bother watching all of it though, it got a little bit repetitive after a few episodes.

Hank seems more like an ESTP to me, Karen is probably ESFJ, Becca INTP, Charlie (that's the bald guy right?) ISTJ maybe? I kinda agree with the rest... kinda ;)

Charlie's Wife: ESFP
Mia: ENFJ
Ashby: xSTP

Definitly INTJ !!! :D

I don't really get that-- I see him as someone who's an extrovert but doesn't like going to parties or social functions all that much, has a relatively lower level of Fe, and a lot of playful, flirty behavior and smart-assery. Seems like an ENTP to me.

Nah, I wasnt serious :).

I thought about it myself quite some time, if he does qualify as an ENTP or ENFP. When that new character was introduced with the gray hair who wanted him to write his biography, Hank came of as an ENTP in contrast to him.

I tho gave up because I think typing fictional characters does set an unreal image for oneself + I think they are unreal themselves, therefore I wont go down on that topic, ... but I will go down on your sister :D

Anyone who types him as anything other than NP hasn't watched the show.

I'm gonna say ENP. It could go either way. But he certainly is very empathic and goes out of his way to help people all the time.

whatever type he is, he's damaged, and doesn't line up with anything conveniently.

[edit] that's no knock on the show btw ;D the fact that he's so screwed up makes it the best show on tv atm

Yes. Could also be ENFP, but the guy seems to be pretty detached from everyone else but his few close ones. I thought also INFP, but INFP would not be as smart-ass and violent maybe? And not have one-night stands in such a detached way.

Very funny show in the first season especially.

His character is based on Charles Bukowski. I would go with ENFP. He's a flake but is that the result of chemical abuse or his true personality?
