Hello folks -

Thought we were due a thread about this incredible show!

Given that Season 2 has just dropped (and I've binge-watched the entire thing) I'd like to hear thoughts on what type you guys think the fantastic characters might be.

Let's go!

Is this show really that good? I also post on a music forum with a mostly gay population, and they love this show.

I would agree that Piper is probably Fi over Fe but where do you see Ne? What about ISFP?

it's possible, but she has that NF political activist/idealist side to her, and she seems like she has pretty well-developed Te.

Wow I really like these typings. A lot of them make sense to me - definitely saw Daya and Yoga Jones as ISFPs. Big Boo is a true ESTP.

Especially happy that you see Taystee as an ENFP - I am an ENFP and she is one of my favourite characters!

Not so happy with the Crazy Eyes comparison though (not the best person to have the same personality type as) - interesting that you say that I find her hard to type as it's hard to look beyond all that crazy.

I would've had Poussey down as an NF - she's a strong idealist and very values-led. I also would've pegged her as an introvert. She stands up for what she believes in even if it means being isolated (very visible with all the Vee stuff). She doesn't seem to have the same level of extraversion her friends Taystee and Cindy do - I'd probably say INFP for her. What makes you think she's an extrovert/thinker?

You missed out Black Cindy - I'd guess ESFP.

A side which you will find in some ISFPs as well.

Watched the first season. Not bad.

Piper: IxFP: idealistic, egocentric and indulgent. Worst manifestation of Fi I've yet seen on Tv.

Larry: ISFJ: Protective, average and clingy

Taystee: ESFP: Outgoing, loud, easy to excite, hides her real emotions

Red: ESTJ (Mother Russia): Bossy though sensitive to the people she cares about, plotting and scheming, aggressive, domineering

Nicky: ESTP: doesn't mince matters, loves sex, masculine attitude

Sophia: ESFP: flamboyant, outgoing, chatty

Those were the easy ones so far.

Heres what I don't like about this chart:

Piper seems I if not also S.
Sophia is just way to awesome to be ISFJ
Nicki should be ESTP, same with Big Boo I think.
Alex should be ENTP
Vee should be ENTJ

OMG has anyone been watching the new season lately? I wasn't ready for all of the feels. Pennsatucky's story in particular was just so painful.

Alex should be ENTP
Vee should be ENTJ[/QUOTE]

This chart is really not very good at all. Suzanne an INTP? LOL ok.

What's Caputo's type?

I like how they developed his character in season 3. I think he is ESxJ

Piper Chapman: IxFJ.

Her actions and intent are much too appropriate, meditative and regal for Pe dom.

Edit: Occasionally she'll try to let loose and do wild, but it's not natural, and pretty much what started the struggles in this show.

Yeah Piper is difficult for me to type. F for sure, but the rest... If she is an extrocert then she is of the EXFP variety, but not sure if I see it. If anything for Piper I would say ISFP, she whimpers and whines some odd and over the top version of Fi constantly, and I don't know something about her presence-fairly constant an at face value sort of thing, says Se more to me. And there are particular things that she does that make me think Se, but it is only a very slight lean that way away from INFP for me.

Alex: INTJ

Nicki:ENTP-Possibly ESTP

Yoga Jones-INFJ

Sophia: ESFJ, but yeah could see ISFJ as well.

Suzanne: Hard to type- ENFP? But could be a more visibly unhinged female INTP. Ne bounces through the walls.

Don't really know for sure about the rest, I would have to look for names.

I'm surprised no one has written about him in here. He seems to have a need to be a hero...and as Fig points out, this is often at the expense of his own well-being. This puts him as a feeler in my book, though he doesn't really have a tendency to show his affection to other people.

I think Piper could be an ENFP indeed.
Kentucky - ENFJ
Red - ESTJ
V - ENTJ
Taystee - ExFJ
Morello - ENFJ
Daya - ISFP
Healy - ISTJ
Bennett - ISFJ
Councillor in season 3 who healy doesn't like - ENFJ
OITNB has so much Fe characters. Not sure about Stella? Can't remember her well enough. Or Alex being ISTP.
