I was trying to figure out the type of the main character of this movie, Alex. Which type can she be? Is she a kind of ISFP? I am not sure... Any guesses?

Heh I saw this when I was 5 or something..always stuck with me, even though I'm a guy.

Yeah, IFP, I think too. And I think Beals is probably ISFP herself.

INFP makes lots of sense, her idealistic nature, she follows her dreams (become a classic dancer) in spite of her life difficulties. The Fi dom is clear, IMO.

I think the movie as a whole is INFP. I wonder about her boyfriend though. What type do you think he is and are they compatible?

I now have Maniac playing in my head XD

About her boyfriend, I find it a little bit hard, because the movie doesn't show too much about his personality. Maybe some ExxJ? Among the ExxJ types, I think that ESTJ would be the less compatible with INFP...

All the soundtrack is great! :D

Maybe ENFJ or ESFJ? He's encouraging but realistic. The realist to her idealist.

Yes, I think ESFJ fits him very well... He's a realist, you can see it when he tries to help her, and the way he cares about her is in an SJ way, in my point of view. The practical support he gaves her during the movie... well, I can see him as ESFJ...

Mhmm and a ESFJ would be a good influence on her type.

I'd say her friend Jeanie is a disillusioned INFP and her boyfriend Richie a ESFP or ESTP.

Oh, in my opinion Jeanie is an ISFP (also disillusioned), I don't think she's as idealistic as Alex to be an INFP too... and Richie is an ESFP (I can't imagine him being a T).
So:
Alex: INFP
Nick: ESFJ
Jeanie: ISFP
Richie: ESFP

I think that the others characters would be hard to type, as Jeanie's parents, the bar owner etc...
