It's really a good idea, and seems quite useful!

To me most of your choices seem rather accurate, I especially strongly agree about Lipton being an ESFJ and Nixon being a Visionary - and Speirs is kind of a perfect example for a Mechanic indeed.

I also think Webster is definitely an Idealist (as in NF by temperament), but I think I would hesitate choosing between ENFP and INFP in his case. He  might be acting more like an introvert because he comes from a different social background than most of the guys around him. Anyway, I think he might be close to being half-way between the two types.

(Also, now that I think about it I always score as an INFP at these tests and I've always identified easily with him and his general attitude, despite of the fact that I don't  consider him to be my particular favourite character. *muses*
 
Also, as you've said each personality type has positive and negative traits and behaviors, and I think that even Dike might have had a chance to be useful for the Army if he had lived up to his potential and wasn't put in a situation where he was expected to do stuff he was not naturally inclined to do, i. e. leading people in combat.
)

Anyway, great stuff, thanks for putting this handy summary together - it was a really interesting read!
