Zant MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Zant? Zant is an ENFP personality type in MBTI, 4w3 - so/sx - 478 in Enneagram, RLUEI in Big 5, EIE in Socionics.
Aight hear me out on this one: For a majority of the game, Zant seems like an INTJ, but when you really get into his character, and how he acts from when you meet him in the Twilight Realm before his boss fight and afterwards, he honestly comes across as much more Ne. Let me bring an excerpt from his wiki page; "Upon his final confrontation with Link and Midna, it is revealed that Zant's earlier persona was a facade and that underneath is a raving lunatic. Zant reveals himself to be very insane, often going on bizarre tangents, hopping up and down, and throwing a tantrum in a manner similar to that of a child, which is seen briefly before encountering Ganondorf, banging his head on the ground and throwing a tantrum. He implies in his rant that part of the reason for his madness is because he was the only one of the Twili to have any emotion at all, and that such was suppressed by decree by the Twili royal family. Zant also shows a near fanatical devotion to Ganondorf, blindly following the Demon King's every command and believing that Ganondorf would revive him without cease." As said here, his cold, calm persona he had throughout a good chunk of game wasn't real, and that this scattered, insane Twili of bizarre tangents is the real him, meaning there's a good chance he was actually an ENxP posing as an INTJ rather than the other way around. I myself an leaning more towards ENFP between the two types, as I have a hard time seeing any Ti out of him, whereas I do see both Fi and Te. His motives in general seem pretty Fi motivated, as a lot of it related to his emotions and how he himself personally felt about being trapped in the Twilight Realm, like "insects in a cage", as he calls it. His whole rant about how he was the only Twili that felt emotion also came off as feeler-like to me, though thinkers obviously can also be emotional so I don't want to prop up a stereotype there. He's also rather goal-oriented and can be pretty dang efficient in getting the goals he wants done, as shown with how quickly he was able to take over the Twilight Realm once he got his powers from Ganondorf, possibly pointing towards decent Te usage as well. Also for those who want more Ne explanation, he has quite possibly one of the most Ne boss battles I have ever seen. His fighting style is highly erratic, and he changes up the arena and his strategies 6 times in the same fight, going from the forests to lava to underwater and more. It's very reminiscent of that "topic to topic to topic" attitude Ne dominants are known for.
