Kind of surprised there wasn't a thread already, but I'm interested to see people's opinions on the characters' types (since I'm not very good at this kind of thing on my own):

Gibbs
Tony
McGee
Ziva
Abby
Ducky
Jimmy (Ducky's asst)
Dir. Vance
Mike Franks

Dir. Shepard
Caitlin

McGee INTP? No, consider his extreme insecureness.
Ziva ISTJ? No, she is strategic and bitchy.
Abby ENFP? No, she is very loyal and is mostly alone.
Ducky ISTJ? She seems a bit naive which made me think ISTP.
And ah yeah, Jimmy? F? Are you joking? He acts like a total jerk and he's not very sensitive.

Gibbs - INFJ with a lot of discipline and a great sense for details. The gut feelings... Clearly Ni-dominant.

Tony - EntJ
McGee - iStP close to iSfP
Ziva - ESFJ with a reeeeally strange upbringing and rough childhood
Abby - ENFP.
Ducky - Truly hard to type... Emotional, logical, loner, peoples-person, laid back, structured... It's kinda hard! :D

Jimmy (Ducky's asst) - ISTP
Dir. Vance - ESTJ
Mike Franks - INFP, and a tough one

Dir. Shepard - ENFJ
Caitlin - ISFJ or slightly extroverted ESFJ.

Tony is much more spontaneous than planned. AND his charm is very ESTP.
Ziva seems like she hates superficiality. Much more N.
Shepard is bitchy but she doesn't seem like she lives out her emotions. More T.
Caitlin. She's definitely an introvert. Sensing and intuition seem pretty equal though I tend to say N. More concerned with promising new ideas than conserving.

This thread is what my mind was right before I signed onto my computer. 0_o NCIS marathons and all.

My guesses:
Gibbs: INFJ
Tony: ESTP
McGee: ISTP
Ziva: INTP
Abby: INTJ
Ducky: ISTJ

I'm not confident on any of those, but those are my best guesses for the time being.

EDIT:
Just to include Kate from Season 1:
Kate: ISTJ

I'm pretty confident Kate is an ISxJ. Her ability to notice subtle things, and her "conservatism" about things combine to suggest firstly that she's an SJ, and secondly that her dominant trait is an S of some sort.

Abbey is a little too excitable and emotionally expressive for an ENFP. Might just be me.

The other night, I got the feeling almost all the actors on the show are ENFPs though.

Yeah, but he doesn't have to be worried about being judged or ridiculed by the corpses. he can say whatever he want. He really seems like an old ISTP to me

but i've had a few drinks tonight, and i haven't seen NCIS for a year or so, so whatever dude :D

Gibbs, INTJ or ISTJ?
Abby Scuito comes across as an ENFP
Ducky is probably an INTP
McGee seems like an INTJ
Denozo- ESTJ?
Ziva- ISTJ

Any thoughts on this?

Just throwing a few things out here:
There's always a slight difficulty in judging character's TV types because of occasional character exaggeration in scripts and the mere fact that both part of the actor's personality and the true character is seen when watching TV.

That being said:
Gibbs - INTJ (His frequent reliance on his gut feeling implies Ni)
Tony - ESTP (Very physical character, loves a thrill and being in the moment, perhaps Se-dom)
McGee - INTP (Introvert seems rather self-explanatory in his nature, as does Thinking. iNtuition is a guess based on his inability to relate to Tony's S. P>J is based on his lack of typical "INTJ confidence.")

The rest here are just shots in the dark:
Ducky - ENTP
Ziva - ISTJ/ISTP
Abby - ENFP/ENTP
