    Default Mad Men series

    Has anyone watched this? Pretty cool, the sexism is quite horrifying.
    A woman to another: “It looks complicated, but the men who designed it made it simple enough for a woman to use.”, to which the second reacts with relief. (c:

    Anyways, ideas on the characters' types?

    haha, sounds fun. I'll type them if I ever see it.
    EIE, ENFj, intuitive subtype.
    E3 (probably 3w4)

    Cool ILI hubbys are better than LSIs any time!

    Generally TV characters are the least consistent to type, and most of the characters on this show are not particularly "healthy" individuals.
    I haven't seen every episode, buts as of...

    Don- LSE
    Betty- ILI (supervision marriage...?)
    Pete- LIE
    Peggy- EII
    Joan- LSI
    Roger Sterling- SLE
    Ken Cosgrove - IEE
    Harry Crane- LII
    Salvatore- IEI

    I could see Don as LSE and Peggy as EII. I'm unsure about Pete and his wife, but LIE and ESI could make sense.

    I always thought it seemed cool, from the logo; like some Sopranos meets American Psycho shit. Never bothered to spoil the idealized vision I had in my mind with the real thing
    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...

    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.

    wow this was a while ago...
    I wouldn't change my typings from before, except for Cosgrove who I think is probably more LIE/EIE and I would add Don's finance Megan as SEI

    Agree with almost all of your typings, though I am uncertain about Betty.

    Also, do you really think Cosgrove has a 'vision' or 'direction'? He seems more opportunistic. I thought maybe a Se type of some sort. I admit I don't follow is character too closely, but he seems quite different from Pete.

    I've been wondering about her too, if maybe the seeming Fe PoLR is a projection of her underlying issues, but I can't really think of an alternative with what she's been presented as so far

    That's interesting, you could very well be right

    Based on all the season except the last, his vision and direction has nothing to do with his job, it has to do with his writing career. His short stories and what have you.

    Default Mad Men

    Sorry if there is already a thread about this, but here's what I think:

    Don: ESTp (this took me a long time.. but a big clue was this season when he says to Megan, "it took me 10 years to think like this." Being creative in this way doesn't come naturally to him; he by nature a plumber, mechanic, get-your-hands-dirty and fix things kind of guy. Also risk-taking)

    Megan: ISFp

    Betty: ISFj

    Anna: INFp dual

    Roger: ENFp

    Joan: ISTp

    Greg: ENFj

    Peggy: *no* idea. ISFp? INTj? ENTp?

    Lane: textbook INTj

    Pete: ?? ENTj? Which is why Don feels threatened even when he shouldn't?

    Harry Crane and Paul Kinsey: Beta rational duals. Last episode really showed that.

    You might want to consider that Don Draper has two personalities: Dick Whitman & Don Draper.

    Hahaha.

    Megan is Don's NEW wife who you haven't gotten to you. Sorry for spoilers.

    Lane is a British guy who gets introduced later. Jane and Faye are also characters that show up later on... like seasons 3 and 4.

    Do you hate all ESEs, redbaron?

    yeah, I've been thinking that the general feel of the show is gamma. I can see why you'd say that. he is kinda paranoid but there are real reasons behind that.

    Don draper-EIE. everything he says is Fe, he's not as expressive as other Fe bases but that's because his emotions are repressed, because of his childhood.

    Betty-totally IEI-Ni. I relate to her more than anyone else, real or fictional. Her mannerisms, the way she talks, etc.. She's not grounded into reality like SEIs are. I have a distinct understanding of exactly how she feels in every situation. Especially 1) when she shoots her neighbor's pigeons. I would have the same reaction. 2)everything she did when she got home from slapping the probably LIE woman (though i wouldnt have slapped her in that situation). I'm only like halfway through season 2 though. I heard she gets really unhealthy, which makes me sad lol

    Peggy-SEI. Obviously ethical. I thought about EII, but she can't be anything except SEI
    Pete Campbell-SLE but the actor is SEE
    Trudy Campbell-ESE, but she's weird. I hate her, or at least the actress. The way she talks is so fake.
    Roger sterling-ESE. He's really smooth in a way that only Fe base men can be, especially ESEs.
    Joan holloway-SEE-Fi
    Sal romano-IEE
    Rachel menkeen-LSI-Ti
    Ken cosgrove-LII
    Bert cooper-Gamma/Delta extrovert
    Duck-LSE probably
    Jimmy Barrett-ILE
    Bobbie Barrett-SLE

    Everyone tells me I would like this show. I like the aesthetic of the logo but the show bored me after 1 episode.
    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,

    The first episode? Idk, I like it. It might be a little too dry for your tastes I guess. It doesnt exactly have a plot. It's more of a realistic way of showing how the characters would act in whatever situation they are in. It's kind of subtle and understated. It's sort of like the sopranos, IMO

    Yeah I liked the sopranos a little better, I can see the comparison, but yeah Mad Men was too dry for my taste. Without the intrigue of having insight into the underground it has little flavor for my palette.

    Interesting set of actors. I should watch this.

    Bump with some typings:

    Don Draper - ISTp

    I see in him. He's very "I don't give a shit, just get it done." and very aware of his rank and that of others, which seems Aristocratic (and in contrast to Pete Campbell who gets very ahead of himself).

    He also seemed to demonstrate PoLR after his surprise birthday party and being made the focal point later on. That kind of activity and attention is too much for Don, who just wants to keep to himself and keep his emotions flat and manageable. This is mainly why I don't think he's ESTj, role function would probably be able to handle the party in better stride. (Or at least not be in a terrible mood after the party wraps up and he can be himself again.)

    Megan Draper - ESFj/ISFp or ENFp

    She strikes me as being from a quadra and an ethical type. It's hard to narrow it down, but she definitely has the artistic bent. Characters make allusions to her having an artistic temperament (like the tension when she wants to quit copywriting and become an actress). It'd be interesting if she was Don's dual.

    Pete Campbell - ENTj

    Seems to have the hidden agenda of wealth/status seeking. Really ambitious. I don't think he's comfortable enough with to have it in his ego block, as power games never seem to swing in his favour. He's also doesn't demonstrate social finesse, though he is aware of . I just remember the scene where he attempts to return a salad dish to trade it for a gun and he can't charm the girl at the counter, who gets very business-like with him.

    He also doesn't strike me as being Aristocratic. He oversteps his boundaries and gets too big for his britches frequently. This usually results in another character harshly taking him down a peg or two.

    Joan Harris - ENFj

    I'm pretty sure I see leading. She has extreme social finesse and gets what she wants and takes what she pleases. Very appropriate type for her to be to be watching over all the female staff at Sterling Cooper, and later attaining a higher status in later episodes.

    Very aware of the hierarchy which makes me more inclined to say Beta quadra rather than Alpha. But I see the merits in people typing her as leading.

    A couple I'm less sure of:

    Roger Sterling - ESTp or ESFp
    Bert Cooper - INTp
    Peggy Olson - ISTj
    Betty Francis - ISTp
    Henry Francis - ESTj

    The only season (of Mad Men) I’ve seen in its entirety was the first season, and I’ve only seen the first couple episodes from the second season. Most, if not all, of my typings are reiterations of typings that have been made at least once before.


    - Don Draper: Ti-ISTj (maybe Harmonizing subtype) [LSI-ILI? or LSI-SLI?]; I’m not 100% sure about DCNH subtype, so perhaps he could be Normalizing (LSI-LII?)

    - Peggy Olson: Fi-INFj (Normalizing subtype) [EII-LII]

    - Pete Campbell: Te-ESTj (Creative subtype) [LSE-ILE?]; otherwise LIE

    - Betty: Ni-INFp (Harmonizing subtype) [IEI-SLI?]

    - Joan: I agree with ENFj (EIE). I’ve also considered SEE-Fi in the past, although EIE-Ni? makes more sense.

    - Roger Sterling: ESFj (then again I guess he could be SLE-Ti?, even if I don’t really like his character that much)

    - Kenneth "Ken" Cosgrove: ENFj (EIE-Ni?)

    - Salvatore "Sal" Romano: ENFp? [Dynamic (Dominant or Harmonizing) subtype]; otherwise Fe-dominant, maybe

    - Hildy: EII/ESI? (EII-Fi?)

    - Harry: LSE/LIE? (LSE-Si?) [Harmonizing subtype]


    I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of the characters are Aristocratic types, so perhaps it's primarily a combination of the Beta and Delta ('dualizing') quadras.

    I agree with these except for Roger. I don't get an Ethical feel from him at all and I get EP temperament, maybe SLE.
    Peggy EII or ESI
    Also, I don't see Megan as ESE. Maybe SEI.

    It took a couple of episodes for the show to grow on me, but I ended up really liking it. It was slow at first.

    This show gets increasingly better with each passing season. Definitely a Gamma/Delta show. Dry humor, 1960's, advertising, alcohol, sexism, comfy offices, affairs, identity, etc. it's a good variety of drama and history.
    Main characters in advertising:
    Don Draper/Dick Whitman - SLI
    Peggy Olson - Definite EII (Her Se is almost non-existent. Observe some falling outs between her and Don. And Ne pops out a lot during the pre-plannings of the ad campaigns.)
    Peter Campbell - LIE
    Joan Harris - EIE (The panning shots of her walking along with her piercing facial expressions definitely suggest Fe. And besides, if you see her and Roger, they're definite duals.)
    Roger Sterling - LSI (He might've been written as an SLE at first, but the mannerisms of the actor have been written to fill the personality of an LSI)
    Bert Cooper - ILI
    Lane Pryce - LII

    Other characters:
    Megan Draper - SEI
    Betty Francis - SLI (Or LSI or SLE, she throws me off a lot.)
    Henry Francis - LSE
    Sally Draper - SLI
    Ken Cosgrove - ILI
    Harry Crane - I dunno, some kind of alpha NT. Leaning towards ILE.
    Trudy Campbell - ESE
    Michael Ginsberg - IEE
    Stan Rizzo - SLE (Slightly unsure.)
    Duck Phillips - LSE
    Adam Whitman - Depressed IEE

    Don Draper SLI
    Quintessentially.
    Peggy Olsen EII
    One of the better fictional examples of this activity pairing. If you want to see how the two delta introverts work together then watch this show.

    Megan Draper IEE

    Betty Francis
    (formerly Draper) ESI
    IEE would be the obvious fit for Betty, but an IEE who demonstrates the lack of intuition Betty shows would be disturbing.
    Sally Draper IEE
    Harry Francis LIE
    Calms Betty but is not a sensor.

    Joan Harris SEE/EIE
    Either Peggy's soup, or her extinguishment. Hint, imo, she plays office politics and handles flexibility very well.
    Sam Page LSI
    Roger Sterling SLE/LIE
    Jane Sterling EIE
    Lane Pryce ILI/LIE

    Salvatore Romano EIE>IEE

    Pete Campbell LIE
    Trudy Campbell ?
    Not much to go on.

    Stan Rizzo LSE
    Michael Ginsberg ILE
    Betty's supervisee and ideas man that Draper grows to resent.

    Don is 100% ILI, pretty sure Betty is LSI.

    I relate a lot to the character Don Draper, but I'm not sure if our personalities quite are the same. I see him as a SEE.

    a few seasons in..

    Peggy and Pete: perfect portrayal of look-a-like romance between IEI and SEI. Pete has a dual partner but he says Peggy really ‘knows him’. Think she is ni subtype and he is fe.

    Don and Betty are supervision, they do love each other a lot but they drive each other mad.

    I think both look-a-like and supervision (where one partner is T and one is F) can be really bitter-sweet relations.

    and in my experience look-a-like couples seem better if they are opposite subtypes. It gives the relation a lot more fire.

    edit: later on Pete is getting back with his ILE wife and he tells her she's the only woman he ever loved (although he told Peggy he loved her too and you're supposed to believe it as the viewer). Typical SEI of course, anyone could change their mind..but it's just soo SEI..aware of only the moment, the truth in the moment. Take me Pete!
