Detailed Analysis
1. Dustin Henderson: The Social Scientist
Dustin is an ENTP (Debater). He literally cannot keep a thought to himself. His Social Energy (10/10) is infectious—he talks to everyone, from high school cool kids (Steve) to scary Russians. He solves problems by talking them out loud.
2. Eddie Munson: The Performer
Eddie lives for the audience. As an ENFP (Campaigner), he uses drama and humor to control the room. Even his "Rebel" persona is a social statement. He draws energy from his "flock" (The Hellfire Club).
3. Steve Harrington: The Social Leader
Steve started as "King Steve" because of his high Social Intelligence. As an ESFJ (Consul), he naturally understands hierarchy and group dynamics. He leads not by planning, but by connecting people.
