ISTJ (6w5)
Ted Schmidt personality type is ISTJ, which is the opposite of the ESTJ personality type.
ISTJ: Introverted, Sensing, Thinking, Judging. What's their first job? To function as a team and to direct and lead other teams and people.
ESTJ: Extroverted, Sensing, Thinking, Judging. What's their first job? To function as a team and to direct and lead other teams and people.
But wait! Doesn't that contradict what I just said? It does, but it doesn't have to. Introversion and extroversion are not the same thing. The ISTJ is not likely to be a loner, but he/she is likely to have a hard time being a team player. And the ESTJ is not likely to be a team player either, but he/she is likely to be a leader. Teams are great for getting things done, but they can be a burden as well.
In fact, the ISTJ may be the "leader" on a team simply because they are better at playing the part than the ESTJ is. I'm not saying that ESTJs don't lead, but they tend to let other people take the lead.
Theodore "Ted" Schmidt is a fictional character from the American Showtime television drama series Queer as Folk, played by Scott Lowell. Fellow show cast member Peter Paige, who plays Emmett Honeycutt originally auditioned for the role. Lowell was cast and he stated that he had an instant connection with the character. Queer as Folk is based on the British show of the same name and Ted is loosely based on the character Phil Delaney, played by Jason Merrells. Phil was killed off in that series, whereas show creator Daniel Lipman decided to develop the character into a full-time role for the US version. Ted is portrayed as a gay man uncomfortable with his thirty-something age. He wants to date younger men in their twenties and who are considered inappropriate. This was demonstrated as Ted became involved with the drug addicted Blake Wyzecki. Ted takes it upon himself to save Blake from addiction but fails.
