I see how with his in-state persona people could get mixed up, but off-stage he's as ENFP as they come. Ne is obvious in his interactions with others like on OffMenu or in interviews, Fi in the fact that he has his own value system and knows what he thinks (criticising Sam Pepper for harassment and Ricky Gervais for transphobia), Te I still haven't quite got a grasp on myself so I don't think I've got an example and inferior Si... I'm thinking about how he's spoken about having periods of hypochondria, also how he knew as a teenager he never wanted an office/normal job. he has blindspot/trickster Ti in that he isn't really logical, as much as people see it in his stand-up I don't think he's majorly caught up in objectivity, his decisions and opinions are often based in his own feelings (as is also demonstrated by me in this awfully unobjective argument). lack of Ni in his shifting careers and no solid vision for his future (unsure if he wants to continue stand-up etc...). Fe critical parent in that he does his best to be polite and is critical of himself when he doesn't please people, also criticises others for a lack of respect or kindness or keeping appearances somewhat (rant in the Netflix specials about people who "shoot from the hip" and bit about "challenging comedians"). ok it's just guesswork on this but final spot Se in that he only uses it to feed into Ne, for example his crisis at 18 after his first car crash and being very spontaneous to face his fear of death. this is my first time really writing anything like this so if you disagree or have input try to be nice? anyways that's just how I see it, with a very biased view I'd say
