    Default 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.

    I thought that bitch was ESFj. INTj does work for dexter I think, even though he's way cooler than the INTjs on here.

    You people are craycray...LaGuerta is an Oprah clone EIE 3w2 sp/so. Actress seems ESE or something.
    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...

    Wow, you're stupid. No, LaGuerta is more obviously Se-accepting than any other character in the show (including Doakes), and entirely too assertive for Se-suggestive. Hence, SEE is the only type that makes an ounce of sense.

    Most Beta NFs would outright consider her an evil bitch.

    Oh, and that's 3w4.
    What do these signs mean—, , etc.? Why cannot socionists use symbols Ne, Ni etc. as in MBTI? Just because they have somewhat different meaning. Socionics and MBTI, each in its own way, have slightly modified the original Jung's description of his 8 psychological types. For this reason, (Ne) is not exactly the same as Ne in MBTI.

    Just one example: in MBTI, Se (extraverted sensing) is associated with life pleasures, excitement etc. By contrast, the socionic function (extraverted sensing) is first and foremost associated with control and expansion of personal space (which sometimes can manifest in excessive aagression, but often also manifests in a capability of managing lots of people and things).

    For this reason, we consider comparison between MBTI types and socionic types by functions to be rather useless than useful.

    Please explain what is 4 about her in ANY way.

    Being assertive !=Se. IMO she is clearly EJ, ethical, and Se valuing.

    Also she and Matthews are Super Egos IMO.

    For some reason, I was expecting to see this Dexter -

    in this thread. Nevermind...

    Some wild guesses:
    Deborah: ENFj agree
    Lundy: IJ IxTj, imo
    LaGuerta: gamma SF agree
    Doakes: weakest acting for Se ever either ESTp or ESTj
    Matsuda: alpha definitely ENTp
    Rita: ISFp agree
    dexter is the hardest to type, but most likely INTj....maybe ISTj.

    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
    EIE, ENFj, intuitive subtype.
    E3 (probably 3w4)

    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.

    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.

    only watch until the fourth episode but it looks like some of the typing is off. Laguerta is not an INFj, she is an classic typical ENFj-Ni, I think Debra maybe an ISFj

    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.

    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 INTj's moniker is something of a counterexample to your arguments: Maximilien Robespierre of the Committee for Public Safety, and central architect of the Reign of Terror in the French Revolution.

    Dexter's flashback is NI, he is recalling his past and how it reminds him of the present It is not Ne where he creates possibilities, proberly this explains IStj's NI hidden agenda, it it sudue enough that his flashback doesn't lose his focus like other NI ego type. he manages details well, careful methodical in each of his actions. I would agree with ISTj typing for him.
