Niki an N? Sorry, but no :D She's as S as they come, IMO.

To me, Peter seems introverted, I'd guess INFJ.

I think Hayden is E, but Claire seems I.

Are we talking about the actors' types or the characters' types?

I'm unsure, lol.... the OP posted pictures, which might mean to VI them, as I don't see any other way of typing actors I've never met ;)

I still think Niki, both actor and character, looks very S.

Milo might be E, but Peter is I.

The OP clearly said "actors" in the thread title. And used the actors' names. I don't understand your confusion.

Well, that's what I thought, but you know what they say about assuming.

I find it hard to believe that 2/3 of those people are intuitive. This is a tv show we're talking about, not the Department of Physics at MIT.

Pictures are for recognition generally, not everyone remembers names of all characters, some may don't remember names of all actors, and some saw these actors in other movies but could don't know/remember their names. Method was "image" (basically intuitive it's based on _impressions_ from nonverbal behavior (facial expression, plastique, etc)), not Ganin's VI (he uses physiognomy also, and may be forms of body). Also I tryed to choose photos that are demonstrative for image method (but 1 photo is not enough ordinary, better to use several movies with actor for sure version).

I don't see any other way of typing actors I've never met

Besides image method, there are for actors - analysis of journalist inteviews and biography. I confine oneself to image method in most cases. For distance typing may be used also tests and special questionnaires (but generally these are not used for versions of famouses' types in forums :) ).

These are not all actors (even not much), these are actors in 1 movie only, and even not all of them from there, and they were choosen non-randomly (only those having my sure version if their type). And there's no serious research about share of types among movie actors (at least I didn't hear).

all that Fe, eww
but as far as the plot, that makes sense
" save the cheerleader, save the world " - Fe - and the success of each character is determined by prowess and how well they can network - so the actors that would fit would be able to identify with that principle - Fe users

Ya, for VI I tend to use the image method.

True, and video interviews work too, although I wonder if the actor has a persona he puts on for the general public (sort of like playing a character). Most actors, I've found, have a hard time playing a character too far from their own MBTI type.

Based on interviews, Milo Ventimiglia is INFJ.

Those who intensively uses interviews rely upon text interviews mainly, because of their more accessibility.

Truly to define type in the conditions of distortions - a skill question generally. In type of the actor (and using image method) I'm sure not always, but in many cases.

This has to be the worst attempt at typing I've ever seen. That's not an insult, it's the truth.

To understand that it's not so, you have to be not the worst typer yourself. :)

P.S. Opinions about type of celeb (by experienced and qualified typers), when people don't know opinions about celeb's type by other people - match rarely (probably in 15-30%).
