Okay, I will give this a try.
(and of course: SPOILER ALERT)

I'm sure Tywin Lannister is an 8w9. He's archetypical. Intimidating presence, very powerful man, doesn't tolerate bullshit, family man, patriarch, he's the guy who's truly in charge (as long as he is alive, that is)

Cercei Lannister is either a 3 or an 8, probably an 8. It's hard to tell. Either way I can't see her being a 6 at all. I don't see fear in her, only lust for power and vengeance. 3w4 or 8 (wing? not sure)

I always saw Tyrion Lannister as a 7 (not sure about the wing though). Smart, witty, funny, he loves to indulge, drink, have sex, have fun, and he can talk his way out of every situation.

Jaime Lannister..... 3. Prince charming. A slick, narcissistic guy, cares a lot what others think of him.

Joffrey Lannister/Baratheon - that's a difficult one, because he's a psychopath. People with personality disorders are hard to type. I'd guess 8w7 or 7w8 and anti-social and/or narcissistic personality disorder. but might also be 3w4, 4w3, or maybe even a 6w7.

Robert Baratheon - 8w7. Warrior with a lust for life, alcohol, sex. He doesnt party to escape pain like 7s do (like Tyrion does), he "parties" until it hurts, until he dies, because he has a lust for life including the pain. And he really is a warrior, at his core.

Stannis Baratheon is a clear 1.

Davos is either a 1w9 / 9w1, but he also could be a 6. 6w5. He's probably the most loyal guy in the show. He is loyal, he believes in Stannis, but he is also sceptical of many thinks Stannis does and believes. He doesnt care that much about principles (like Ned does), he cares about people.

Ned Stark is the archetypical 1 in my eyes. Honorable, principled guy. Sure he's loyal, but out of principle, not out of fear. And he is only loyal as long as it doesnt conflict with his principles.

Robb Stark, not so sure. Could be a 1 aswell, same as his father.

Catelyn Stark, also pretty sure, a 1w2.

Jon Snow most likely a 2w1 or a 9w1.

Arya Stark...I'm not so sure. I think either 8w7 or a 4.

Sansa Stark, 3w4 or 4w3. Narcissistic little Diva.

Littlefinger - you could think he's a 5 because he's quiet and secretive (and because I think the actor is a 5, so he does kinda have that energy to him), but I think Littlefinger is a 3. He's a politician, a slick guy, who acts as though he's everybody's friend, only to stab them in the back in order to achieve his goals.

Varys - I'm not sure, he might be a 1 or a 6.

Dany - Really nor sure either. 8w9 probably.

Allister Thorne - that's easy, he's a clear 8.

Ramsey Snow is probably a 7w8, but also a psychopath.

I agree about Jorah as a 2w3.

Brienne of Tarth is also a CLEAR 1.

And last but not least:

HODOR: 9w8. Clear case.

-I don't see the Eight-ness in Dany any more ... but have no idea where to put her anymore.
Now that I think of it: Dany might be a 4w3. She is shy and insecure at first, but later she starts to like the idea of herself as queen, so she starts to embody that identity. She loves the idea of herself as the "mother of dragons", freer of slaves and so on.
She also has that "I'm really special" and that "V.I.P." kind of aura to her. You know, the aristocrat.

I think she is also the most bland and boring character on the show, so it's difficult to tell either way. She might have no personality at all, because she is a badly written character. :D
 
Nah, I don't think so. Not for any specific reason, it's just that Ned doesn't feel 6ish to me at all. He doesn't have that nervous, anxious head-center energy to him that 6s have. Even the counter phobic 6s have that nervousness to them. He is a total gut center guy. He's too indepentent, confident, a moral authority. And I don't see him as a sceptic at all, he has integrity and cares about justice and the truth, but his naivety in thinking that people generally are as honorable as he is, is what gets him killed. He does not see the danger coming, becasue he basically assumes that people are good and honorable, which is totally 1ish and not 6ish at all. 6s tend to mistrust everyone and the world in general. Ned plays with open cards the whole time, and he doesnt get that people have hidden agendas, because he himself is totally straightforward about what he wants and thinks and believes. I get what you are saying, and maybe in the book it's a little different, but the general feel is very much like a 1 (1w9 sp, I believe), and not like a 6 to me at all.

He also does not come across as a "social" guy either. The social instict types are sensitive, emotional and group oriented people. Ned is a clear sp instict type: down to earth, "robust", practical and kinda simple; he clearly doesnt get the intricacies of social interactions and social dynamics. Varys might be a social 1, the High Sparrow might be a social 6w5. Totally different feel than the sp types. Just my two cents.
 
Some others I just thought about:

The High Sparrow - 6w5. All about faith, cares about the community, but also a religious fanatic.

Lady Olenna - I'm guessing 8, not sure about the wing. The way she always says what's on her mind and is very blunt about it is very 8ish. She is also in charge and knows how to play the game, but she's way too honest and straightforward to be a 3.

Margaery - 3w2, clear case. slick, charming, manipulative, puts up a front all the time (very successfully), cares a lot about success and achieving her goals.

Oberyn Martell - I think 7w8. He's too light-hearted and charming to be an 8 in my opinion. He doesn't have that crude bluntness that Robert Baratheon has; you know, that "bring me the F*ING wine you fool! I'll drink till I'm not able to stand and I'll still get into a fight and kick your ass" energy that Robert has. Oberyn is more of a "I try to enjoy life to the fullest" kinda guy. Sure he's also passionate and out for revenge, but he does have a good reason.

Ygritte/Tormond/most the wildlings generally - 8w7. straight talking warrior types, don't tolerate any bullshit

Randyll Tarly - 8, clear case. probably 8w9.

Sam Tarly - 6w5. totally nervous guy, anxious all the time, but has his courageous moments when standing up for the ones he cares about. also a bookworm and a nerd (very 5ish, but doesn't have that reserved, quiet, aloof nature that 5s have). and another example for a social 6: not really similar to ned stark, is he? :p

Bronn - clearly a 7w8. fun loving, smack talking, witty, smart and a good warrior. but cares more about having a good time than he cares about power, revenge or anything that might interest an 8.

Jaqen Hagar - 5w4. mysterious, quiet, reserved, secretive guy.

Theon Greyjoy - difficult one. my wild guess is a 6w7 in disintegration. he's at his best when he's loyal to others, and at his worst when he's trying to show everyone what a great and tough guy he is (disintegration to 3). 6s can be overcompensating "tough guys", especially when they are disintegrating and counter phobic. you know, like Walter White ;)

Yara Greyjoy - 8w7.

Roose Bolton - I'm guessing 8w9 in total disintegration. He's too much of an asshole to be a 5. 5s can be assholes, but usually not in this "powerful patriarch/tyrant" kind of way.

The Mountain - 8w8. :D seriously, he doesn't have much of a personality besides being the stereotypical 8. but I guess 8w9, because the actor comes across as a sx 8w9 to me.

Sandor Clegane might also be a 8w9 or a counter phobic 6.
 
OMG I just totally changed my mind about Margaery. I'm now pretty sure she is a 2w3.
She puts up a front and maniplulates people, but that's not exactly what 3s do. There is a true Margaery underneath the act she puts up. 3s don't really have a "true self underneath", because they are totally identified with the front they put up, they ARE the fassade. Margaery on the other hand consciously puts up an act to manipulate the other person. 3s are not consciously putting up an act, they themselves believe the act they put up.
Her way to get what she wants are her relationships to others. She is always totally fixated and attached to a specific person, be it Joffrey, the High Sparrow or Tommen. She tries to fulfill the other persons expectations and tries to manipulate them to do what she wants. This is TEXTBOOK unhealthy 2. 3s are more about fulfilling their role in general and just being successful and achieve stuff. She is way more fixated on specific people and trying to get their love and admiration to - in the end - get them to do what she wants. Her quest for power and influence is her disintegration to 8.
And lets not forget her whole "I go out to help the poor and needy" act she puts up at some point.
 
Khal Drogo - 8w7 (not sure about the wing though. another character that's not really written well)

Gendry - 6w5

Podrick - 6w5

Melisandre - 3w4

Gilly - 9w1

Loras - 2w3

Barristan Selmy - 1w2

Qyburn - 5w6

Jeor Mormont - 1w2

Craster - 8w7
 
You have high expectations :D
He's just a stereotypical "tough guy". There's no real personality, it's just "me strong! me fight! me take woman!". That's not a person. Maybe it's the "warrior archetype", but that's not a real person. In a show that has complex characters like Tywin or Tyrion, that's pretty weak.

I feel it's more that he's not that "important" of a character, more there for Dany's character development than for his own sake (that was my impression, at least).
Right. Although, to be fair, I think that Dany is one of the weaker characters aswell. She's also pretty bland in my opinion, and between season 2 and 6, there is no real development either.

But I only know the show, not the books.
