Just off the top of my head…here are my personality type guesses for the TV show Frasier, which is one of my favorites:

• Frasier, ENFJ
• Niles, INFJ
• Daphne, ESFJ
• Roz, ESTP
• Martin, ISTP
• Bulldog, ESTP
• Donny, ENTJ
• Bebe Glazer, ESFP
• Sherry Dempsey, ESFP
• Station manager Kate Costas, ESTJ
• Attorney Samantha Pierce, ISTJ
• Niles’ ex Mel Karnofsky, INFJ (This one has been a bit controversial when I’ve shared it and I believe she would certainly be an outlier for an INFJ, as some of her perception-judgment patterns are certainly not conducive to a healthy lifestyle.)

As the Story Goes…

Personality psychology is a really fun lens through which to view a TV show like this. In my observation, most Frasier plot lines go something like this:

• Se: A new and sensational issue is at hand!
• Fe: Something must be done to save the occasion / person / reputation / relation. I have an idea…
• Ti: (The idea is horribly sneaky, or manipulative, etc., and it fails hard)
• Ni: What was I thinking by being so (petty / manipulative / etc.)? Why couldn’t I have seen this coming? This is madness! (Followed by a return to a wiser & calming view of the big picture.)

I have some friends IRL who seem to follow this general pattern quite often! :-)
