The Royal Tenenbaums

[Orangey]

I've seen multiple references to this movie and its characters floating around, but no dedicated thread. Therefore...

Royal: EN/STP
Mom: IN/STJ
Chas: INTJ
Margot: INFP
Richie: ISFP
Eli: ESFP
Henry: ISTJ
Raleigh: INTP

Other guesses? Or do you agree?

 

[TickTock]

Good call!

Royal: ESTP

Henry and Eli I agree. Richie probably ISFP.

Not sure on the others but they seem good guesses.

Great film.

I think the fact that Gwynneth Paltrow's character smoked her whole life and successfully kept it from her family was hilarious. How many kids could pull that off?

Luke Wilson as the eccentric tennis pro was hysterical too.

I love that film.

gene hackman is entp and angelica houston is infp/intj (i go with intj, she reminds me of phil jackson with Ni)? i think luke wilson is isfp. gwyneth is infp, owen wilson is enfp, and ben stiller is istp?

i think in the movie chas' character doesn't really make sense. he looks structured on the surface but his Fe is killing him. i can almost see entjishness but i get inferior Fe not Fi, i get less developed Ni, and i'm not sure his overstructuredness is just total mental breakdown. royal is more flying by the seat of his pants estp than entp, he doesn't really have a long-range vision of the future so much as he's an awesome fast-talking lawyer type "you're true blue, ethel." eli as esfp makes sense, still a 7w6 (like owen wilson), and henry is 100% istj.

I think Margot is INTP.

 

[Orangey]

I think Margot is INTP.

Why?

 

[GetOffMyBiscuits]

Chas is an INTJ.

 

[BlahBlahNounBlah]

Royal is an ESTP for sure.

 

[Grace]

Why?

Because she reminds me of a female INTP I know. Why does everyone think F?

Probably because she's a playwright who is quiet and secretive...and, well, depressed.
