Dexter (TV series)
The serial killer of serial killers... sounds kind of cheap but the series is pretty cool I think.
Any idea on the characters' type?
Some wild guesses:
Deborah: ENFj (second season spoiler)
[spoil:58aedc54ac]The instant-reaction hug she gives agent Lundy when he tells her he doesn't like Dexter more than her is something I've noticed in ENFjs[/spoil:58aedc54ac]
Lundy: IJ
LaGuerta: gamma SF
Doakes: weakest acting for Se ever
Matsuda: alpha
Rita: ISFp
LSI
I think Dexter's an INTj. The police chief women is ESFp.
INFp-Ni
For some reason, I was expecting to see this Dexter -
in this thread.Nevermind...

Thx, this thread was close to being total fail (c:
Agent Lundy: ISTj
Angel Batista: ESFj
Harry Morgan: beta ST
Rudy Cooper: maybe INFp?
LSI
Lily from Dexter Series
I started watching dexter 2nd seasond;-)
I think lily is the ENFp. What do you think about it?
What is your favorite beer ? An open one
Lila*
I think ESFp...
ESFp seems to fit better, I agree.
LSI
What about the rest of the characters so? I'd say:
Doakes: ISTj
La Guera: ESFp
Batista: ESFj
Masuka: ENTp??
Camilla: ??
Lundy: ISTj
Rita :ISFp
Rita's ex husband Paul: ENTj
Harry Morgan: ESTp??
lol I thought this was going to be about the kid's show dexter, but then I remembered that his sister's name is Dee Dee. (And in that show, Dee Dee's SEE, Dexter's LII.)
Doakes' type is closest to ESTj. Not sure about Paul, Harry could be ISTj too, the rest I agree with.
LSI
And which type would you say is Dexter himself?Most people agree he's INTj, any other suggestions?
there was already a thread on this...but here goes...
dexter: INTj
Dokes: ESTj
Lundy:ISTj
Deb:ENFj
angel:ESFp
Lila:ENFp - she has the inuitive insight....and her apartment (minimal living) with art stuff is Ne
Rita:ISFp
spanish lieutenant lady: gamma SF
harry:ISTj
Paul:ESTp
I kinda felt Rita was an INFj... Seems like she valuesand also
I think Dexter is a troubled ESFp. But perhaps it's just the actor who is ESFp. He looks very similar to ESFps.
Rita - Ixxx
Sister (Deborah?) is xSFp. Definitely percieving. I definitely don't like her.
Father - beta ST. Cool dad.
Black cop (the one who gets the creeps from Dexter)- ISFj

Cool ILI hubbys are better than LSIs any time!

Look at it! Is this the face of an INTj? Or is it just REALLY bad casting? He is the primary example of ESFp VI. His body language is just as ESFp. Or is he Ti dominant like the character Dexter?
BTW, the younger actor who plays in the kid-scenes might be Ti dominant and is definitely a better actor than this guy.

I don't know what you're talking about. Michael C. Hall is a great actor and extremely well casted. This judgement is based on acting talent alone, not socionics.
Even the author of the books, Jeff Lindsay, says that Hall has "nailed" the character.
He keeps analyzing himself. "Oh, I have no feelings... Those people feel, but I do not feel...". He does have the self-image of a thinking type, but he puts so much stress on analyzing himself and other people and his relationship with them. Well... it could just be from watching too few episodes. I've seen the first episodes and I plan on watching more. They have to talk a lot about the characters in the beginning of a series, so maybe the non-stop self-analysis was a consequence of that.
His instant reaction to everything is to move himself. He's not the IJ calm and stable rigid. He holds himself back but he still has a physical reaction to just about everything. Seems like he naturally has a high energy level and that it takes very little effort to gain access to it. That's EP.
"The doughnut box is empty... just like me." -in super-ID block? Pretty fake and shallow, but he tries to use Ni! And he keeps doing it, so I was thinking he might be Ni-valuing... but again - maybe just the first episodes.

I like Dexter, but his sister's a douche bag. She really needs to learn to deal on her own.
Dexter should break contact with her.
agreed! The sister is horrible!

I think Dexter must be INTj or ENTp. Maybe ISTp but it is less possible. He has the intuitive insight. I am quessing his girlfriend is ISFp and his sister must be ENFj. But I am curious what you think, I really enjoyed the two series (the second being much better). Dexter's character develops, he cannot be ESFp as I don't see any trace of aggressor in him. He's more of a caregiver or infantile. I can see Ep temperament making sense but he is rather introverted. He needs a lot of his own space.
dexter's back
And here's the type list.
Dexter: Se-ISTj 5w6 sp/sx
Rita: Ne-INFj 9w1 sp/so
Debra: Se-ISFj cp6w7 sx/so
Angel: Fi-ENFp 9w1 so/sp
LaGuerta: Fi-INFj 1w9 sp/so
Masuka: Ti-ENTp p6w7 so/sx
New detective that I.A. is watching: Se-ESTp cp6w7(?) sx/so
Rita's daughter: Ni-INFp 4w5 sp/sx
dunno if I missed any...
4w3-5w6-8w7
So much people are talking about this series so I downlaod it, I thought Dexter was ENFj? 18 minutes into the show...
(D)IEE~FI-(C)SLE~Ni E-5w4(Sp/Sx)/7w8(So/Sp)/9w1(sp/sx)
OK i think i see ISTj-SE for Dexter 24 minutes into the show, VERY TI narrative for the show.
(D)IEE~FI-(C)SLE~Ni E-5w4(Sp/Sx)/7w8(So/Sp)/9w1(sp/sx)
Yeah, I was gonna dig this thread up to put my final stamp on it, lol. Might as well do it now.
Dexter: Se-ISTj 5w6 sp/sx
Debra: Ni-ENFj cp6w7 sx/so
Angel: Fi-ENFp 9w1 sp/so
Harry: Ti-ISTj cp6w5 sp/so
Rita: Ne-INFj 9w1 sp/so
LaGuerta: Fi-INFj 9w1 sp/so
Masuka: Ti-ENTp cp6w7 so/sx
Miguel: Te-ESTj cp6w7 sx/so
Ramon: Si-ESTj cp6w7 sx/sp (machismo)
Ellen Wolfe: Ne-ENTp 7w6 sx/so
Astor: Ni-INFp 4w5 sp/sx (reminds me of starfall)
Quinn: Se-ESTp 7w8 sx/sp
Sylvia: Fe-ENFj 3w4 so/sx

dexter sucks
I'd check the show out, but it sounds like it's got a little too much counterphobia for my tastes.
You forgot Anton.

Very busy with work. Only kind of around.
Nick thinks everyone and their uncles are cp6s.
But, for a certainty, back then,
We loved so many, yet hated so much,
We hurt others and were hurt ourselves...
Yet even then, we ran like the wind,
Whilst our laughter echoed,
Under cerulean skies...
I was under the impression dexter was an INTj-Ti
Part of the reason was that he seems to enjoy comfort, good food, and physical pleasure (Si). The show also seems to hit on an Si theme alot, for instance, the intro.
Oh and is detective Dokes on there? If not than I typed him as ESTp. Which would play more into a supervisor relationship if Dexter is INTj
Also I thought Dexter was and INTj because it made his character more odd and disturbing due to LII's being Se vulnerable and yet Dexter's secret was that he is in fact quite Se capable.
The end is nigh
I really have no idea why you would type Dexter as INTj. Time again it's demonstrated that his interest in life's pleasures is a facade by which he recreates the image of a normal life. As for the opening credits, it has nothing to do with enjoying life, it has to do with killing things. Everything is symbolic of either blood and cutting or strangling.
If you want to talk about paradox, then ISTj makes far more sense than INTj. ISTjs tend to have a fixation on what is right, what is honest, what is true, and Dexter's code is like the ISTj way of coming to terms with the horrible things he has to do by nature of his past.

True about the facade part. I understand, however I was under the impression that Dexter actually and sincerely sought physical pleasure.
About the opening credits, yeah I know thats what its about, however it should have a great affect on introverted sensors, because of the detailed, in focus, physical actions it shows. Like my ISFp father dislikes the show (has an affect on him) because of the gore and gruesomeness. I think the show plays on Si to create an affect. So I guess Dexter might not value Si, but that the show utilizes it is perhaps a better statement.
And both an INTj Ti and an ISTj Ti would have a fixation on order, honesty, and truth so still could be either.
Also I did not get an Ni vibe from the show or Dexter himself, but take that with a grain of salt.
The end is nigh
Absolutely, but I would say that Dexter is far less flexible with his fixation than an INTj tends to be. That and Dexter is a little too grounded in reality (with the exception of his dad day dreams), Ti-INTjs are usually more loosy-goosy imo.

Si-ISTp 9w8 sp/sx (not completely certain).
Contradict one of those typings and then talk.
I don't think enjoying sensory things is intrinsic to Si. But even if it was, that doesn't seem to be a prominent focus of dexter's at all. The intro is merely a satirical symbol of the seemingly normal life he lives, and it ends with him coyly glancing at a neighbor as he proceeds into another day in society. Nothing to do with Si.
Dokes is (was lol) a Te-ESTj cp6w7 sx/sp. That's the classic machismo badass type that people seem to perpetually mistake for ESTp because of their reactive "toughness" and need to impose their "strength" on everyone around them. Dokes is exactly like Ramon.Oh and is detective Dokes on there? If not than I typed him as ESTp. Which would play more into a supervisor relationship if Dexter is INTj
I think you're mistaking a lot of things for Se that aren't really related to it.Also I thought Dexter was and INTj because it made his character more odd and disturbing due to LII's being Se vulnerable and yet Dexter's secret was that he is in fact quite Se capable.
Well, with a sociopath, it's not exactly going to be salient. Tbh I didn't even focus on dual-seeking or anything with him; the functional preferences just seemed pretty clear. I guess you could observe his enjoyably intense interactions with Debra, or perhaps examine his relationship with Lila (Ni-ENFj 7w8 sx/so) from last season.

what the hell is this?
apparently, there is another EII with my name.
is she as hot as I am?
EII; E6(w5)
i am flakey
Damn, well I guess Dokes dies then. Lol spoiler.
Yeah I rephrased what I said about the intro. More that it utilizes Si.
Also Dexter seems to derive a raw physical pleasure from his "work." The phrase that he always repeats "Blood. sometimes it sets my teeth on edge." I just got the feeling he sought Si.
Idk abouts Dokes. Maybe your right, I would like more explanation though.
The end is nigh
Yeah, she's hot.what the hell is this?

Meh.
