The 1980s film starring Al Pacino.

Tony has already been typed as an ENTJ, but the film hasn't had it's own thread as far as I'm aware.

Tony Montana: ENTJ
Manny: ESFP
Elvira: INTP
Frank: ESTP

Manny seems like the typical ESFP to me.

Okay, fair enough

The others, by the way, I can't find decent reason to disagree with, so "Nice work." They're characters, so rarely exact.

F'sure, but the thread is what it is- just a bit of fun. :)

Please don't tell me that Tony Montana is an N. I take that as an insult.

I think ESTJ is accurate. Personally I couldn't stand the character; to me it's sad that some people actually idolize him. I trust that you aren't any of those people though.

Didn't really get the greatness of the move, please explain. I know one explanation to my disliking of the film is that I don't like, and am generally pretty disappointed by, closure.

I think he is definitely an N. He is always thinking about the future possibilities and the big picture to get an edge. He sized up Frank's weaknesses right from the beginning, and he was always using his insight into the American underworld.

I always viewed Tony Montana as an ESTP. ENTJ, no. Tony is a risk-taker and although he liked to play around with a future picture, most if not all of his solutions were decided quickly on the moment upon finding out what the problem was. He was risky, not exactly a planner.

I disagree. He was a schemer, and his rise to the top was planned right from the beginning.

THIS, how it works on so many levels, with people idolizing or despizing Tony, is just one of the reasons why the movie is so good. In my view, it is a tragic cautionary tale or how near absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Agree. The CHARACTER is ESTP.
