I've been watching this series that my family loves and that it is still funny. Apparently, it has been very successful thanks to the variety of characters. I noticed that the personality of each is a perfect stereotype of the Enneagram and I wonder if you think the same:

-Claire Dunphy: 1 (The Perfectionist)
-Cameron "Cam" Tucker: 2 (The Altruistic)
-Mitchell Pritchett: 3 (The Performer)
-Manny Delgado: 4 (The Romantic)
-Alex Dunphy: 5 (The Observer)
-Gloria Pritchett-Delgado: 6 (The Skeptical)
-Haley Dunphy: 7 (The Epicurean)
-Jay Pritchett: 8 (The head)
-Phil Dunphy: 9 (The mediator)

Luke gets out of this list but I think he might be 9 like her father.
You can also search their MBTI characters if you want, but I think in this case really interesting is the Enneagram.

I totally agree with your assessments of the Dunphy family! And I almost never agree with people's assessments. LOL! You rock! :)

???
Instinctual Variant
sp/so
Claire - 1. She hates when things go wrong and can be very compulsive.
Phil - 9. He's sort of emotional and deeply caring, avoids conflict.
Haley - 7 or 2. She's certainly spontaneous and the life of the party at times, but loves being loved and cared after.
Alex - 5. She is intelligent, a hard worker, always strives to be the best in lacrosse, cello, school from what I've seen.
Luke - 7? 8?? He's curious, happy-go-lucky, and a rule breaker.

All the rest I agree with completely. Awesome :)

MBTI:

Claire - ISxJ, leaning towards ISTJ.
Phil - ENFP
Haley - ESFP, as she matures she's becoming an ESFJ
Alex - INTx
Luke - ISTP as a kid, ESTP as a teenager

Mitch - ESTJ.....?
Cam - ESFJ
Lily - she's a little kid, so it's pretty hard to tell.

Jay - INTJ
Gloria - ENFJ
Manny - INFx

I totally agree with some of your assessments but I think:
Claire is type 1
Gloria is type 2, she is very caring and wants to help everyone but in stress she goes to type 8 and yells at everyone/is kind of aggressive
Haley is type 3, she is concerned with status/outward appearance
Cam and Manny are type 4, moody, sensitive, expressive and melodramatic
Alex is type 5
Mitchell is type 6, he is responsible, prone to anxiety and can be suspicious
Phil is type 7, he's enthusiastic, playful, high spirited, can be scattered, I think this is what Luke is too
Jay is type 8
