I can agree with:-
  • Brie - ISTJ. Cause she is very detail, hardworking and hardly talk about her feelings
  • Mike - ISTP. Cause he's obviously introverted and a mr fix it all
  • Tom - ENFP. Lively, friendly and always taking risks

I'm don't agree with:-
  • Carlos - ENFJ... I think he's an ENTJ
  • Lynette - ESFJ... I think she's an ESTJ cause she's controlling, but seem practical enough to be an S

The rest I'm not sure...

I think you're missing the point. Lynette INTP? No way. Lynette is very scheduled, down-to-earth and has that fearful streak, and I've been an INTP and believe me, we are not like Lynette...
Susan - ISFJ or ISFP, I doubt.
Lynette - ESTJ - hateful in my opinion. not estjs, but her.
Bree - ISFJ or ISTJ
Gabrielle - ESTP
Edie - ESTP with ENTP leanings

I can see susan as a P, but she doesn't seem introvert. How you arrive on that?

Lynette ESTJ - Agree

Bree ISTJ - Agree

Gabrielle seems a bit controlling. I believe she's a J. ESFJ seems fit enough. She was a fashion model

Edie ESTP - I can agree, but a negative one though

Just my thoughts. Pretty interesting topic

Good points on lynette.

IMO, ESTJs (as well as ENTJs)will dress for power. They will wear business executive clothes which is true on lynette. Lynette is very determined, has a strong sense of direction which is typically attributed to a J. Hence the ESTJ

I'm sure many of you are fans. For me, it's a guilty pleasure. And the housewives are all over the board personality wise. Here are my guesses, I could be wrong and I also might leave a few out.

Bree Van de Kamp: ESFJ
Lynette Scavo: ENTJ
Susan Delfino: ENFJ
Gaby Solis: ESFP
Tom Scavo: ENTJ
Mike Delfino: ISTP
Carlos Solis: ESTP
Orson Hodge: ISTJ
Renee (I forget the last name): ESFP
Karl Meyer: ESTP
Julie Meyer: ENTJ
Porter and Preston Scavo: ESTP
Rex Van de Kamp: ESTJ
Mary Alice Young: INFJ
Paul Young: ISTJ
Felicia Tillman: INTJ
Katherine Mayfair: ISFJ

And that's all I remember. Feel free to chime in and tell me what you think!!

Very good list. I agree with many of them, but not with all.

What makes you to think Susan is a Judger? She is not very well organized... actually her life is quite chaotic, and she is a little bit crazy. I agree with NF - she is clearly dreamer, but I would say she is ENFP or even INFP.

Tom and Lynette are not the same type. Lynette as ENTJ I can agree wtih, but Tom is more soft and warm, idealistic and spontaneous, so I think he is ENFP.

Also I´m not sure Bree is an extravert, she doesn´t seem to enjoy company of others, it is just her role as a good housewife to host others. I would say she is ISFJ.

Bree is not the type of person to let things be. Which is part of the reason for the E in ENFJ. Chaos and confusion are what I would use to describe Susan. I also think Susan is ENFP. I would say Tom is more optimistic than idealistic and ESFP. In terms of the enneagram, Bree 1, Susan 6 and Tom 3.

Bree ENFJ? :O She is not that warm... and she have very strong Si and Fe. Maybe ESFJ, if you cannot accept ISFJ? :)

And isn´t Tom too intelligent to be ESFP? :D

You guys...I can't believe what you all are typing them...lol. Here's what I think:

Susan: ENFP
Lynette: ENFJ
Bree: ENFJ
Gaby: ESTP

WHAT?! Two ENFJ's as main characters?! But aren't they all supposed to be different types?!?!!??!!?!?? :) Honestly I don't know why people don't guess that two or more main-ish characters in the same show/movie are the same type more often. It happens in real life all the time, too. And ENFJ's are good characters to create for different kinds of housewives.
 
#25 ·
ENFJ-Lynette, agree. She can appear ENTJ when she has to but the Fe is there.

Bree is especially occupied with social norms and moral values...is reactionary when they are broken and intensely focused on kepeing harmony within the home (that she wants to be perfect).

The Fe is ENFJ vs ESFJ can look very similar, she simply seems more focused on immediate concerns to me:kitteh:

I watched DH's first season again.

& now I think Edie might not be an ESTP.

I mean ESTPs are charming, really active, confident & they always attract ppl & are very popular and well-liked.
(At least streotypically)

But It's not true about Edie.

Once when she was talking to Susan (after Mrs Huber's death), she said that when she was at highschool, she was a freak, & most ppl hated her & rarely talked to her, & she felt like an outsider & was never popular/cheerleader etc.
Then she said that she still is an outsider everywhere & ppl don't care about her & that she has never had real friends.
& this made her really sad.

Also, she's a solitary type of woman.

Is she still an ESTP ?

Here is what I think:

Susan - ENFP (She isn't physical (no dominant S) -> she is glumsy but she has great imagination. :)
Lynette - ENFJ ( She is trying to be very strict but she is just too empathic.)
Brie - ISTJ (She has no problem following rules even if it hurts someone. Remember her kids. She was not a kind mother - she just wanted her kids to follow the rules - at any cost.)
Gabrielle - ESTP.
Katherine - ISFJ.
Angela - ENTP.
Rex -ESTP
Tom- ENFP.
Mike - ISTP.
Carlos - ex- ENTJ, new ENFJ
Orson - INTJ.

What do you think?

I've been rewatching Desperate Housewives recently and I've got one thing clear, and that is that Lynette is a Ti user for sure. Not sure if Se or Ne, but TP for sure.
 
#35 ·
same ^^^
- and yess I totally see it too. I think Lynette is an ENTP. I think she's typed as ESTJ because she's hella competent. The way she approaches things is very xxTP-esque
Gabby - ESFP
Susan - ENFP
Bree - ISTJ
Edie - ESTP

Carlos - ENFJ?
Carl - ESTP
Mike - ISTP
Tom - ESFP
Orson - ESTJ

Danielle - ISFP
Julie - ISFJ



P.S. where are the Fe typings for Bree coming from? lmfao

TYPE BY FUNCTIONS, NOT FCKING LETTERS (excuse me for my language, but I made an account, just to comment on this post, because of the ridiculous comments).

Brie is the most Si-Te person in the whole series, ISTJ or ESTJ and nothing else. Te seems higher, so I go with ESTJ.
Susan is ENFP.
Gabrielle - ESFP.
Lynette - not sure, that is why I searched for such MBTI post in google.

I also made an account just to post in here. I saw this Charity / The Mod person type Susan as an ESFP on Tumblr and that personally offended me.

Susan - INFP
- she's constantly in her head thinking about the future and how everything can go wrong, highly insecure, wants to be unique and loved, gets mad when her mom tries to steal her shtick. She definitely does not live in the moment, she's clumsy, entitled and kind of weird

Bree - ISTJ (or ESTJ)
- conventional, scared of change, she doesn't understand other people's feelings and only cares about her values aka reputation and being "perfect", she's easily manipulated and is abusive towards her children. She doesn't think much about the future, she's really passionate about cooking and guns, though

Lynette - INTJ
- easily offended, arrogant, immature. Even though she's smart, logical and self-aware, she's extremely paranoid and has trouble trusting people. She's manipulative and is definitely a Te user, she comes up quickly with new plans, but she doesn't completely think them through

Gaby - ESFP
- I'm going to be biased as she's my favorite housewife. Unlike the other three, she's actually fun. While Bree's ruining her children's lives, Susan's thinking about Mike and Lynette's scheming against another random person she met this episode; Gaby's focused on the environment. It's kinda tough to explain, but she's by far the most dynamic and likable imo

I'm currently rewatching season 2 and I got to say that they don't seem like real friends. Susan finds out about Gaby having an affair with John, and Andrew being gay, but since she's so self-absorbed, she forgets about all of that. Bree keeps all her secrets away from them, and doesn't mind spreading rumors about Gaby. Lynette thinks she's the shit and gets into fights with everyone. Gaby seems to hang out with them coz she's bored and looks down on Edie.

I like the show, but the main characters are all selfish, miserable bitches.
