The Thinking Writer had a good link today on delving into the personalities of characters by finding their "personality type." He suggests Keirsey Temperament Website. The best personality typing system for me is The Enneagram. It's a little more writer friendly and less academic than Keirsey.
And it's particularly fun when you go against type, imagining your action hero as a "Peacemaker" or your femme fatal as an "Individualist. Fun Joel's Screenwriting Blog has a series of five posts on the subject, which you can read here.

Good stuff! I liked How NOT to Pitch a Studio as well.
I wrote a series of posts a few years back about using the Enneagram as a tool for developing character, etc. I'll email you links and you can feel free to post, if you like!
