For the 4th of July, the dandy is Profiled:
Hard to believe it, but it's Independence Day once again in the U.S. At the center of the holiday is America's famous Declaration of Independence and characters such as Yankee Doodle. So let's go out on a limb and give a little thought to this icon of American folklore. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, the term Yankee is often associated with such characteristics as shrewdness, thrift, ingenuity, and conservatism. The encyclopedia gives no such information about Doodle except to call it an "absent-minded scrawl or scribble."	Yankee Doodle
The lack of research aside, it's hard for us to associate a character from America folklore with anything other than Idealist. It is, after all, the national personality. He wanted the feathers in General Washington's hat so bad that he lifted one. A real ladies' man, this one. But the dancing, merry observer of the Revolutionary War ran home to mother when the going got tough. When his cousin threatened him, he "hung by father's pocket." So we're guessing an Idealist who emotes Scintillator. With perhaps a touch of Realist thinking.
