Take you own advice, Santa.

Watch an episode and bring me an informed guess on their types. Informed.

*growls* It is pretty damned epic, Mac.

I can see IsTJ for Blair and IsTP for Chuck. Eric is INFJ, yeah. And ESFP for Serena, yeah. Nate is ESFx, I think.

Suggestions for other characters:
Dan is ESTJ, and is completely annoying. Vanessa is a bossy and manipulative ExTJ as well. Jenny is a very ambitious little ENTJ. Rufus is an ENFJ. Bart Bass is INTx. Lily is also an ESFP, through and through.

Aaron Rose is just skeevy.

Soap operas are epic!

Well, Gossip Girl is a teen soap. One that is exceptionally pretty, with reasonably good acting. The writing is also funny, and while the plot is completely unrealistic, most of the characters have enough layers and face enough ethical decisions to keep things interesting.

Buffy was described to be a "teen/action/adventure/horror" show. Which completely didn't cover what it explored. Gossip Girl is the same. It's farcical, mocking in a self-aware and meta-fashion, satirical, and completely character-driven. Granted, there's the occasional deus ex machina, but the best stuff comes from the decisions that each character makes, and how they grow (because they do). :wubbie: I love that show so much. It's no Battlestar Galactica, Rome or Carnivale, but it doesn't set out to be that.

Yes, I'm at the stage of fangirling where I evangelise. :blush:

Some ideas


Serena van der Woodsen; ENFP 7w6 so/sx
Lily van der Woodsen; ISFJ 9w1 so/sx
Blair Waldorf; ESTJ 3w2 so/sx
Chuck Bass; ENTP 7w6 sx/sp
Bart Bass; ENTJ 8w7 sp/so
Nate Archibald; ISFJ 9w1 sp/sx
Dan Humphrey; INFP 4w3 so/sx
Vanessa Abrams*; ENFP 6w7 so/sp
Jenny Humphrey; ESFP 2w3 so/sx

*From what I've read on Wikipedia, Vanessa seems more like INFP 4 in the book. Otherwise, most of the characters seem pretty consistent in both versions.

Haha, I admit I watched a few episodes. And read one book.

However, I feel that in the movie Serena is an ENFP, while in the book she seems totally ESFP.
Blair - in the movie - ESTJ, but in the book she seems more laid back.

And the others... well, who cares.

Oh, and Chuck - in the movie, he's definetly an xSTP, but in the book he seems like o total typeless moron.

But his character in the book was very stupidish.

Blair: ENTJ in the tv show, INFP in the book. (She's extremely different in the book. She lives in her own head a ridiculous amount, and daydreams about future possibilities like crazy, creating scenarios that could never happen where everything ends up with a happily ever after.)

Serena: ESFP.

Nate: ISFP. (This is more prominent in the book than the TV show. He's such an S, it's ridiculous.)

Jenny: ISFP in TV show; ESFP in book.

Dan: INFP.

Vanessa: ENFJ. (In the tv show. I skim her parts in the book because she annoys me.)

Chuck: ESTP. (This one is the hardest; I'm not sure.) He's nothing in the book because he has no development.

Lily: INFJ.

Bart: ENTJ.
