JoJo practically reeks of Ne-Fi; very fun and always focusing on the coolest way a fight could be resolved. The story never seems to take itself too seriously, but is capable of touching on very dark topics, and it pushes the boundary of how wild you can get in nearly every aspect, from the character design, writing, etc. I'd say Ne prevails since the story is not planned out and majorly created on the spot as evidenced by David Productions going back to add foreshadowing in the anime that Araki couldn't have done himself, not knowing what was to come. Not to mention him stating "I am of the opinion that if readers ever think to themselves, "I expected that to happen!" then I've failed. Even as a kid, I never thought predictable manga was interesting." Fi comes in where the majority of characters and ideas in the series are heavily influenced by what is personally important to him (Western music, Italy, fashion, Clint Eastwood, heroes fight alone, our lives are determined by fate etc). Good Te seems likely considering JoJo was released weekly for nearly 17 years. Notoriously bad memory to the point "Araki forgot" is a viable explanation for inconsistencies in the series seems like inferior Si to me. An insanely imaginative and thoughtful person, reading interviews and author's notes about very random subjects. Healthy ENFPs also do tend to have that sort of starry-eyed passion for life that he expresses in interviews. Man literally hasn't aged in 20 years. It comforts me to possibly share a type with one of my personal biggest inspirations.
