EDIT: I removed any arguments using the eight function stack model and polished my analysis for the time being. It's still a bit disorganized, but I'm more happy with this updated version. Deku is an INFJ. From the very beginning, Deku demonstrates Dominant Ni in how he idolizes All-Might and he envisions himself to be a great hero just like him. While many people idolize All-Might, I would argue that Deku places him on a pedestal much higher than the average person. Idealization is more common among higher intuition in the function stack. He also idealizes Bakugo and eventually Deku doesn't just view him and All-Might as symbols of aspiration, but rather goals that he wishes to surpass one day (Ni). Dominant Ni is known to have tunnel-vision tendencies depending on how set an INxJ is on pursuing an ideal, a notion that hits home for Deku. Early on in the story, when Deku faces the harsh truth that he cannot achieve his dream due to not having a quirk he is devastated. Other examples of Deku using Ni is that he is able to see things that lie beneath the surface that others cannot. For example, Deku notices that Todoroki has personal issues: "Lost amid the cheers that arose from the audience... I saw Todoroki defrost his own frozen self with his left hand. And to me... Something about him seemed really sad." ~More in reply~
