Anyone who liked 1984 ought to see this movie.
My guesses:
Abigail Williams---ESTP
John Proctor- ISFP
Elizabeth Proctor--ISTJ
Rev. John Hale--INFJ
Mary Warren --IxFP
Reverend Parris --ESFJ
Edit to add: Judge Thomas Danforth-- ESTJ
what makes arthur miller an infp on the other list?
He's either ENFJ or INFJ, hard really to tell from the movie which one, I mean his position in the court forces him to be dymanic but we don't know if he really spends most of his time in study in his normal life.
Seems very Ni/Fe. Cares deeply about people, truly wants to help them and wants to improve and work through exiting social systems to do so, Emotionally persuasive when he needs and wants to be---highly charismatic, passionate about his religion but enough of his own person, a free enough thinker that he is able to put aside the group pressure and stand up for the truth when he sees that the witchhunts have gone wrong. He has great moral courage and motivated by his deep emotional values. jmo.
Rev. John Hale--INFJ
I always thought he was an xNTJ, actually. I mean... he's practically an NTJ archetype. He's a paragon of intellectual arrogance, though it's applied to religion.

The John Hale in the movie is protrayed as being deeply caring, deeply devout, and when he suddenly finds he has been wrong, he admits it and does all he can to try and correct the damage. To me that doesn't speak of arrogance. He has confidence in his religious learning but not to the point of arrogance, jmo. Think on his mercy to the girls, even when Abigail admits she drank blood. He is interested more in mercy than justice, an F question on MBTI tests.
An F can be an intellectual but they will tend to focus on humanities or religion. Why does the fact that he studies so hard make people want to pin him as a T? He has passion for his religion that to me seems very F and his passion leads him to study it (a values based decision). Think on how emotional he gets in the interogations compared to the stony demeanor of Danforth.
Hmm yeah, INTJ is what I would have thought of first as well actually. But when I think of the intense guilt and despair he feels at the end, where he's desperate to make John Proctor confess for his own emotional need to not be responsible for his death, I think F. Hm. Did he start off as a T and then his F took over? Or maybe because he's a tool put in the play to serve a certain dramatic purpose, and therefore we can't type him fully. I think INxJ definitely- maybe he's a mixed F and T, if that's possible. *shrugs*
Oh, wait... this was about the MOVIE? I read the book. Never mind.
I'd definately recommend (if you haven't already) renting the movie from Netflix and watching the movie with the director's commentary on, you can find it in the "special features" section on the DVD. Arthur Miller himself talks during the whole movie about what he intended to say and things like that. It's extremely interesting.
Well, I could have been clearer about it.
