hahaha, rewatching the series as an adult has really made me realize how awful almost all of the characters are as people. like, do we have any evidence that rory is intelligent apart from being told how much she loves to read? lorelai is a narcissistic baby that makes people cater to her every whim, and her whole poor little rich girl life story annoys the shit out of me. she put herself in a situation where she made average people take care of her and her child when she had millionaire parents at her disposal that she willingly cut off.
Rory graduates valedictorian from Chilton and is a good student, so she is at least hardworking and astute. Depends on how we define smart though.
Couldn't agree with you more about Lorelai. She treats her parents (especially her mother) like the plague--they are far from perfect parents but try to do the right thing for her and Rory in their own purebred WASP way. She strings Luke along as her backup while parading her other men in front of him (there is no way she couldn't have known he had feelings for her--other characters hint at it to her as early as season 1, IIRC) all while taking advantage of his genuine desire to care for her (having him bring ice and shit to her house all the time, instead of asking Max or Christopher or whoever to do that sort of shit). She sets a certain example for Rory, which is fine, but then chastises and barely speaks to Rory for days when Rory sleeps with a married Dean, even though it's behavior that Lorelai herself has engaged in. She is the epitome of rebellious rich princess. She takes the princess treatment but constantly plays the part of a hip self-made businesswoman when a lot of her and Rory's success wouldn't be possible without the financial help from her loaded parents. That said she has a heart of gold and sometimes puts her own drama aside to help people who are in need, often without being asked.
I still think ESFP is her best fit, but the writers shade her as an ENFP. I could also see her as a rebellious ESFJ, like [MENTION=4945]EJCC[/MENTION] said.
Emily OTH is an ESTJ trying to play the role of ESFJ matriarch.
Rory is an ISFJ, it's painfully obvious. She sometimes verges on NF
Lane is an ISFP
Jess is an INxP (leaning F)
Luke is an IxxJ (leaning ST). I know NF/NT is unlikely but I have my reasons for leaving this open. He could also be an ISTP but less likely.
Dean is initially written as an intelligent ISTP, then the writers dumb him down after his first couple of appearances. He sort of evolves into an ISxJ rather quickly, and not a bright one.
Paris is an ENTJ. One of the more clearcut typings, IMO.
Logan is an ExTp (leaning N)
Her choice of clothes in the newer series is just superb.
