An ANSIR® participant took us up on our challenge to profile Agents Mulder and Scully...and has done an excellent job!
Special Agent Fox Mulder — My guess at his profile: Extremist/Evokateur/Sentinel. Justification: Extremist thinking -- not only does Mulder seem to enjoy beating the system (his superiors, the gov't), he also has incredible instincts.	Scully and Mulder
How many times has he leaped to some crazy conclusion, and no matter how many hard facts and logical arguments Scully throws in his face, he still sticks to his original theory, and then turns out to be right? This happens all the time. Evokateur working, no doubt about it. This guy is a serious work-a-holic, and saying he's a bit on the spacey side is a huge understatement. Obsessive? Oh yeah. Creative? Of course! As for the emoting style, Mulder is a pessimist, his greatest fear is losing Scully, his worst nightmare is being betrayed by her, and his personal motto is "Trust No One." Sentinel. What else? Special Agent Dana Scully — My guess at her profile: Diligent\Diligent\Diligent Justification: Diligent thinking -- Scully totally relies on logic. She looks at the facts, checks them against her knowledge of science, biology and medicine, then forms a logical conclusion based on these facts. She won't buy into Mulder's crazy theories unless he has some really good evidence, and even then, it's a stretch. Scully seems to have a working style that matches her thinking style -- diligent. Whether arguing with Mulder or performing an autopsy, she takes the logical approach. She's a very reliable and honest person, she rarely leaps to conclusions, and she'd much rather follow the scientific method than buy into Mulder's conspiracy theory de jour. Diligent emoting, as well. Scully does not seem to enjoy expressing emotion. She is always the calm and collected one. Mulder freaks out at the drop of a hat. Scully is the complete opposite. She'll always be there for Mulder, to offer hugs when he needs them and attempt to calm him down when he's ready to start a fistfight with the entire world, but she rarely (if ever) gets all worked up herself.
