    Talking Alpha Fictional Characters in Movies and Literature

    I'm getting kind of tired of all the aggresive Se/Ni romances I'm seeing lately in TV/Film. What are some Alpha, or even just general Ne/Si romances out there right now?

    What I can think of:
    Jim/Pam on the Office
    A lot of the couples in french New Wave films from the 60s
    Peter/Joanna on office space
    ILE - Ti.

    Because it's Ne/Si, it has romance and it's a great movie. Bridget and Mark are IEE and SLI respectively.

    A very nice and laid back (for some potentially boring) Si/Ne film I recently saw is My Blueberry Nights. It doesn't have a lot of romance in it but it has Norah Jones and Jude Law in the main roles.

    yeah - that movie was rather nice - do you think Norah played an SLI?

    Seen most of those, Amelie is one of my favorites.

    Yeah, ESFj (Turk) and ENTp (Carla) seems right for them. But does anyone else think Scrubs as a whole seems more Delta? IDK if that's all that valid, but it just seems that way to me. And I mean Delta Fi. Gross.

    Technically not fiction, but there's a good a representation of Robespierre as a LII in movie Danton (1983)

    Another LII, Bruce Banner at least in the Hulk movie. Hulk might be considered as his primitive Se + Fi shadow.
    ...the human race will disappear. Other races will appear and disappear in turn. The sky will become icy and void, pierced by the feeble light of half-dead stars. Which will also disappear. Everything will disappear. And what human beings do is just as free of sense as the free motion of elementary particles. Good, evil, morality, feelings? Pure 'Victorian fictions'.

    With Simon Tam in there from Firefly, would it be correct to put kaylie (sp?) in as an ESE. I could definitely see that but we all know my socionics knowledge = shite.

    I read Logo's case for Kaylie as ESE over at the socionics workshop and agreed with it.

    Niffweed's belief that Kaylee is SEI is what is keeping me from putting her down as either. She is still an Alpha SF, but we have disagreements about which she is.

    I honestly would probably prefer to locate more SEIs and ESEs, since there is a noticeable lack of them on the list.

    IMO Aladdin's Genie as ESFj is very dubious. He isn't in any way a socially harmonious kind of character, more like annoying, awkward and over the top. He's definitely Alpha and extrovert but ENTp rather than ESFj. Compare him to Star Trek's Q, who is consistently typed ENTp and very similar in behavior to the genie.

    I do support the typing of Kaylee as ESFj and see absolutely no reason to doubt it's validity. She's just about the most obvious ESFj in pop culture that I could name.

    My input in response to previous suggestions:

    Rachel Green: a cookie-cutter ESFj
    Clara: I very much doubt ISFp. More likely an Fi type such as INFj.
    JD: INFp
    Elliot: another textbook example of ESFj
    Buffy and Giles: quite sure they're not ISFp, but I don't know enough to offer alternative typings

    The rest are pretty good in my book.

    Here's my suggestion:

    Harry Potter's Hagrid


    Characters that are likely ISFp if Hagrid is:
    LOTR's Bilbo Baggins (film version)
    LOTR's Gimli (film version)
