    Dexter Morgan: great character or the best character ever?

    I noticed someone suggested this thread in another area so I thought we could all discuss how awesome the show is and our interpretation of Dexter. My boyfriend disagrees with the character being an ISTJ and thinks he is an INTJ. What does everybody else think? ***Warning: may contain spoiler*** (Good Thinkin' sRae!)

    Yay, awesome! I love Dexter, I find his character fascinating. It is debatable IMO whether he is ISTJ or INTJ... on one hand he is very methodical, which could be Si, but of course he was taught that code and doesn't always follow it when he has to think on his feet. He seems to have Ni when a situation arises where he has to act on the fly - but that could just be the writing of the show as to assure he always gets out of any given situation. I would lean more towards ISTJ, especially since he is such an orderly neat freak. I would say he is an ISTJ who throughout the show is learning to develop his Ni and especially his Fe.

    I am tempted to say Best Character Ever just because of the layers involved, but I am so indecisive and can never choose a favorite anything. It is undeniable that he is great XD

    Yes, exactly. I would guess ISTJ too, too many signs in his relationships that he needs work in the Ni and especially Fe areas (eg, awkwardness with other people, real lack of any emotion, or at least understanding any emotion with others, especially Rita). Only, he's not as arrogant and self-assured as my ISTJ brother, but who knows, maybe they are not all like that. : )

    I would say he is pretty self-assured, and can at times be arrogant, especially the episode where he and Lundy are in the train car after the copycat killing - he seems pretty sure he won't be caught. I wouldn't say arrogance is a prominent trait of his, but you'd have to be pretty sure of yourself to keep killing right under the FBI's nose.

    However, I don't think most ISTJs come across as arrogant, I've said this in another thread. At least the ones I know don't come off that way. Self-assured, yes :)

    Hannibal Lecter would make dexter his bitch then eat his goofy looking ass with fava beans and a nice chianti. But Jason Bourne would kick both their asses before lunchtime.

    Lecter could maybe (probably) take Dexter, but not Bourne :p

    And if he is goofy looking, well then goofy is the new hot.

    I waited way too long to watch it - it is as good as everyone says, I promise :D

    Dexter Morgan isn't really a psychopath, or even a sociopath IMO. There is a lot more to the character which makes him even more interesting to me.

    But I agree, Joker and Hannibal are both great :D Nothing beats Hopkins Hannibal, but I even liked Hannibal Rising, it was good as far as prequels go.
