    I haven't seen this for a while, but I posted a typing thread on EIDB when I was around half way through the series. Then a few days ago my mate was watching 4oD, and I realised there wasn't one on here.

    Tony: SLE (of the 3w2 (although 7w8 is possible) variety); Fi PoLR is evident
    Sid: I'm seeing Si leading
    Michelle: ESE (another 3w2)
    Cassie: IEI (craves Se)
    Chris: SEE (not as sociopathic as Tony; certainly doesn't have Fi PoLR; however, his sense of adventure is evident)
    Jal: ESI (fiercely defends her friends iff they're in the right, and I think someone who has a great understanding of bonds)
    Maxxie: possibly some Fe or Se leading type. He was a bit 2D in the series
    Anwar: I can see ILE, but this is purely behavioural
    Effy: I just saw valued Fi in the episode where she talked
    Abigail: EIE I could easily see. Distinctly Aristocratic and probably Fe leading. Although SLE wouldn't be out of place
    Angie: IEI. I sense a lot of passivity there. Who better than an IEI?
    Josh (Abigail's brother): LSI wouldn't look out of place

    I wanted to know what type Cassie was in another thread (though I didn't think anyone here would have watched the show ).
    http://www.the16types.info/vbulletin...ad.php?t=13696

    hkkmr began typing some of the other characters, too - I think he has good suggestions.

    I would say Jal is probably a Gamma introvert.

    I'm not sure about Sid - I thought INTj or ISTp as a 'preliminary' guess (whatever that means) - though Si-leading (i.e. possibly ISFp...hmm, actually, I don't why I hadn't considered it).

    But yeah, I'm hopeless at typing.

    And do you see more evidence for Fi or Ni leading? Just curious.

    I see little to no evidence for Ti.

    Indeed you are... just kidding.

    I just thought she was obviously a Gamma introvert in her general demeanour - I couldn't really go further than that. ISFjs have a Ni hidden agenda, and INTps have a Fi hidden agenda - I was considering all the times she acted under stress, or when she was acting naturally etc., but it was too difficult . E.g. when she blames Sid for causing Cassie to try and kill herself, that would be a perfectly natural response for basically everybody with her understanding of the situation. When she is waiting for Michelle (who was busy with Tony) so they could go shopping, and other such moments, the expression on her face and her general annoyance seems to be ignored by everybody else - it is only obvious to the viewer, and everyone carries on oblivious. In those situations, she is the only normal character - everyone else is completely fucked up. I don't really know what to make of all these things, though actually I think your ISFj typing may well be right.

    Fuck, I should have taking Media Studies at A-level. I have become the very thing I detest...a TV junky who spouts cliches.

    I think ESI makes sense for Jal. IJ temperament isn't hard to spot, and she blatently has Fi. The Se is evident to.

    Well just wanted to weigh in again because I finished watching Series 1 - wow. Even though the ending was a bit tacked on and too try hard for my tastes what with the musical montage ... it was still loads better as an overall show than mostly anything I've seen so far, excluding Buffy the Vampire Slayer =P

    I have some new opinions now as to the types - note that I always attempt to make the intertype relations work for my own fun

    Effy: IEI - Ni subtype. I was tempted to type her ILI but it really doesn't fit based on her quite emo personality and the stuff she has said... she is a lot more extravagant and over the top than I think an ILI would ever be. Her lifestyle actually mirrors mine at past points in my life when I was wilder and I can definitely see why it appeals to her... very romantic, "bad" ass attitude. It makes sense to me that she Dualizes with her brother.

    Tony: SLE, there's no doubt about that.

    Michelle: ESE I would probably agree with, but I almost see EIE for her in some places but then I realize I wouldn't act like her in such situations and she seems too "surface" ... more Alpha quadra values and has too good of a personal style to have PoLR lol. Benefit relationship with Tony explains a lot.

    Jal: LSI Se subtype. Yep, I am disagreeing with ESI b/c she reminds me so much of my LSI friend who is extremely loyal, has this sort of ferocious quality about her, dependable, reliable. Just b/c she is like that doesn't mean she has to be leading ... she just acts too much like LSIs I know to not be one. Her and Michelle being Semi-Duals would make perfect sense as well!

    Sid: Difficult to type... whittled it down to LII, Ne subtype. Funny how Tony & him are friends but I gotta say that I see supervision too & him being duals with Michelle creates an interesting aspect doesn't it? I retract my previous IEI typing - he's not slick enough to be a male IEI

    Cassie: IEI, Fe subtype. No questions asked.

    Chris: ILE, Ne subtype. I think he also shows a heavy propensity towards ... I mean I could see SEE as well but I dunno, this seems better. It could work just as well, really. lol think about his relationship as an Infantile w/ Angie, lolz.

    Angie: SEI, immature subtype. She's a little too different from Effy & Cassie in that she has little "edge" associated with Beta (imo) and she's much more Care-givery, even just her role as teacher. She seems to be conflicted, but takes things in stride.. valuing. Mousey.

    Anwar: Annoying. I don't like this guy, therefore I won't type him. He done Maxxie wrong.

    Maxxie: Not enough character development to really tell but I'll hazard a guess @ anything ExFp

    Abigail: EIE unfortunately (but a crazy ass bitch version)

    Kenneth: Uhh.... what is his point in the series?

    Here is a good example of a supervisor relationship of a SLE and LII imo. Well what I think...

    Se-polr LOL
    7w8 becomes more likely all the time. Either that, or a really unhealthy 3w2.

    Yeah, I can see the SLE in Tony, because I can draw parallels with he and I. However, there are elements of him that don't ring true for me.

    Hmm about Sid. You haven't explained the Ti. I just don't see it.

    You don't, because you're Ti creative. But you certainly go blaring Ne around. Otherwise Tony wouldn't be an SLE. The Se is evident. That's why he's an SLE. The Ti he only reveals here and there. Watch this: from 04:00 to 04:50. It reveals obvious Se, EP temperament. It also shows his Ti, complete with Fi PoLR. It's a caricature of it in fact. Absolutely laughable philosophy, but it truly is something a Fi ego would break down in tears about; the sheer lack of coherency or comprehensibility of human relations. He reduces relationships to atoms banging against one another. At the same time, you'll see how Sid clearly values Fi. He has a lack of Fe, yes, so he may well not be a Fi ego type, but he's certainly not Fe ego. I don't know why I said SEI if that's what I did say.

    The implicit internal dialogue is that whatever is being said is irrational, or illogical. The thing about him that is most evident is that he has no Se

    Also what he does is not really Fi.. he has no relationship with Michelle, it's more a infatuation..
    Ha! I never thought of it like that. Good work, hkkmr.

    Download 4oD here. Alternatively, go on YouTube, but it might be hard to find.

    It's good, Annie. Gives you an insight into what teenagers in Britain get up to. In some places, such as the penultimate episode, it's complete bullshit, but for the most part, it's pretty realistic.

    I just finished watching it, and it's utterly fucking ridiculous in terms of plausibility, but it's pretty entertaining.

    There's a lot more insight to be gained into Effy's character here. Far, far more likeable than in the last two series. Definitely Beta introvert, probably IEI. I also saw an interview with the actress who plays her, and she is most likely Se ego, so I'm not surprised if she's an IEI with a touch of Se.

    JJ is LII. Freddy wasn't really developed enough; as far as I'm concerned, he's a bland individual. Most likely SEI or something. Initially, I thought Cook was an ESE, but part of me thought he could be SEE or something later on when he started all that shit in college. He's definitely a 7w8.

    That little annoying bitch, Katie is it? She's probably Beta extrovert. Her sister Emma: most likely introverted from a Se/Ni; I was thinking ESI, actually, but I could be wrong. That Naomi chick is probably SLE.

    Oh yeah, that careers advisor (was it?) pisses me off. She's probably Delta. Head teacher is probably Delta too - LSE or something. The other woman is most likely Gamma. Keiran is probably Gamma too.

    Effy is an IEI, told you! Just a super Ni one.

    Is Kaya (actress) really Se ego? That's interesting, and probably does explain her character exuding the Se toughness out of her generally quiet demeanor. I love it.

    JJ is def. an LII, agreed. Kind of a caricature of one though, bleh. I thought Cook was an SLE? Exxp temperament for sure, if anything, but he does remind me of someone I would get along with -- good times. Nice that him and Effy hooked up at the end too, hot dual sex, yum.

    Err, I think Freddie is an IEI-Super Fe subtype or SEI. Yes, he's bland and not really as pretty as many girls make him out to be.

    Katie - SEE/EIE. Hard to tell so far. Emily - ? EII ? Seems Fi to me, little Se. Would make sense if Katie were SEE, supervising Emily.

    Naomi - Hate her. Such an annoying cliched "indie" feminist character. Ugh. I'll say she's SLI, just cause she really reminds me of this one SLI that hated me ... dressed all wacky, had that exact same dry, 'badass' kinda attitude, marches to her own drum sorta thing. EXACTLY like her.

    Go on the Skins website and watch the interview with her. She actually expresses her admiration for Naomi, and says she's "quite like her" (I assume that meant IRL), in the way she's very opinionated and "doesn't give a shit about anyone else".

    JJ is def. an LII, agreed. Kind of a caricature of one though, bleh.
    Absolutely.

    I thought Cook was an SLE? Exxp temperament for sure, if anything, but he does remind me of someone I would get along with -- good times. Nice that him and Effy hooked up at the end too, hot dual sex, yum.
    lol - I think she will end up getting with Freddy. As for Cook, he could be an SLE. The reason I said ESE was when he was going "ahhhh, just relax! Smokin' spliff, hanging out with you guys and drinking beer - it's all about that, man". It's like a "no rush, fellas" kind of attitude, that I attributed to Fe and Si.

    Err, I think Freddie is an IEI-Super Fe subtype or SEI. Yes, he's bland and not really as pretty as many girls make him out to be.
    Yeah, he's good-looking, but he's conventionally good-looking. My brother has a friend like this - they're just bland as fuck people. I doubt he is IEI; they have more character to them.

    Katie - SEE/EIE. Hard to tell so far. Emily - ? EII ? Seems Fi to me, little Se. Would make sense if Katie were SEE, supervising Emily.
    Fair point, actually.

    Naomi - Hate her. Such an annoying cliched "indie" feminist character. Ugh. I'll say she's SLI, just cause she really reminds me of this one SLI that hated me ... dressed all wacky, had that exact same dry, 'badass' kinda attitude, marches to her own drum sorta thing. EXACTLY like her.
    Yeah, she's not an SLI necessarily, but I know what you mean.

    Pandora, ah. I forgot about her. Ne leading.

    I considered ILE because she just ignores people and seems to have god awful intra-personal skills. She actually pisses me off a lot.

    ETA: she also brings a bad name to philosophy.
