: Smallville (tv series, usa)

: This series is about the life of the ‘young Superman’ Clark Kent, who has genetically based physical superpower (from the planet Krypton.) I find this series interesting because there seems to have been a good casting; the characters as acted out look very natural. I guess that some actors play out their real life character here.

:
: +++ analysis of the main characters

: - Coach Walt
: He’s the devil himself, using his power to make objects burn to intimidate the boys of his football team. He’s a sadistic enforcer; a ‘hard father’ for the boys.

: Assessment: Agressive Style (Oldham), Sadistic Personality (Millon), type E8 (Naranjo), wingtype 8w7 (Riso)

:
: - Lex Luther and his father
: Both are archetypical shameless business tycoons, such an inclination to fight that often they fight one another physically.

: Assessment of father & son’s character: Adventurous Style (Oldham), Anti Social Personality (Millon), type E8 (Naranjo), type 7w8 (Riso)

:
: - Clark Kent
: Clark is a modest fellow with a compulsive need to help people who have problems, using his super powers to the common good. ‘We need you Superman!’ is what he gets back.

: Assessment: Self Sacrificing Style (Oldham), Masochistic Personality (Millon), type E4 (Naranjo), type 2w1 (Riso)

:
: - Lana
: Lana looks rather helpless, unable to function normally without support.

: Assessment: Devoted Style (Oldham), Dependent Personality (Millon), type E9 (Naranjo), type 6w7 (Riso)

:
: - Trevor
: I’m not so sure about him, but he seems a rather tormented fellow; I guess he could be Serious Style (Oldham), , Depressive Personality (Millon) type E4 (Naranjo), type 9w1 (Riso)

:
: - Cloe
: She’s a very ambitious, goal focussed newspaper reporter, work-a-holic with tunnel-vision.

: Assessment: Self Confident Style (Oldham), Narcissistic Personality (Millon), type E3 (Naranjo), type 3w2 (Riso)

:
: - Clark’s father
: He seems to be over-concerned, worrying type of man, wants to protect Clark from potential dangers; ‘I will allways be a little afraid, Clark’. Sometimes he’s counter-fobically ‘assertive’.

: Assessment: Sensitive Style (Oldham), Avoidant Personality (Millon), type E6 (Naranjo), type 4w5 (Riso)

Hello Jan:
I don't watch the tv show, so your typing sounds good.But I want to ask you about character, and real people who might not follow what we think are the closest correlations. Could Mr Kent be something like Riso 2W1 and still be Sensitive Style, or even a Riso E6? I am not saying you are wrong, just that maybe people/characters inspite of havin a core of depressive could be a Riso 1W9,not 9W1. Or Mr Kent having a core the Sensitive Style and not be 4W5/5W4...?
