One of my favorite movies. Creative use of the camera. What would you say Dustin Hoffman's character Benjamin is? I would say he's a phobic 6. He had a nervous disposition to him, but as the movie progressed he became more assertive and counterphobic.

Anne Bancroft playing the eternally sultry Mrs. Robinson was a total 2. She took advantage of Ben's naivete (too lazy to put the accented letter) and was very manipulative. Also, towards the end she goes to 8, especially when they are both in the car on the rainy day "I ORDER you to not see her again!". She became jealous over Ben's involvement with her daughter.

Ben's parents...didn't see much of them, but they seemed to have that superficial successful 3ish quality to them.

Elaine Robinson is difficult to type. Any thoughts on her?
