Nagito Komaeda MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Nagito Komaeda? Nagito Komaeda is an INFJ personality type in MBTI, 4w3 - so/sx - 417 in Enneagram, SLUAI in Big 5, IEI in Socionics.
Komaeda may seem like he values Hope through Fi, but he actually perceives everything through the lens of Hope. The synthesis of all perceived objects into one solid subjective perspective is Ni, not Fi. Contrary to Ne, which diverges from one single abstract point, Ni takes many points and connects them to a single meaningful point. In other words, everything Komaeda sees and experiences connects to this one point: Hope. It is easy to confuse, since Ni and Fi are both connotative functions. Rather than an individualistic, contextual Fi/Te judgement, Komaeda employs a collective, universal Fe/Ti judgement. Talent is the main judgement he enforces, insisting that there are only two kinds of people: the talented and the untalented. There is no contextual nuanced individualism that's necessarily seen in an Fi judgement. Instead, he claims that society as a whole (Fe) runs on an algorithmic underlying principle (Ti), and tells it from his own subjective perspective (Ni): if someone is untalented, they are as useless as garbage. > "For a long time, humans have been taught that if you try hard enough, you can accomplish anything. Even if we weren't told this directly, you'd know it just by looking at the world around us. The internet, TV, and newspapers are overflowing with hopeful messages that say exactly that... But people who can't win...people who don't try to win...people who try their best and still can't win... ...They are all worthless trash." There is no subjectivity in the feeling realm. The judgement would have to be exclusively aimed at himself or another individual. Instead, there is impartial awareness of how society as a collective (Fe) works - based on an infallible algorithm (Ti). Furthermore, when Komaeda looks at the Ultimates, he does not see individual people, nor does he value them as individuals. He values them conceptually, which is common of Ni-Fe: viewing humans impersonally and non-subjectively (Fe/Ti) through the lens of their own personal meaning (Ni) Even if you still wish to argue for Fi, INFJ have 6th Fi. Fi will be more prominent in them than in INTJ. The difference is that they will not value it. They may even loathe it, viewing it as selfish. We can see this consistently in Komaeda, who insists that the Ultimates solve the mysteries, even when he already has everything figured out. He reduces his value as in individual to shine light on the group. However, we occasionally hear his Fi crying for help; he unconsciously wishes to be someone significant. There is no conscious wish because Fi is not conscious for INFJ - Fe is, and it reinforces the belief that his unconscious Fi dream is impossible based on how society works. There is also a hatred of Te in him. He despises the idea that the talentless can ever be anything superior to trash, no matter how hard they try. This is completely contrary to a Te perspective. Te/Fi wishes to assert it's individual will above that of other individuals - to grow stronger than other, in whatever way they are wishing to. Ni-Te wishes for efficient, objectively measurable growth. Komaeda literally does not believe that this is possible, which is what Te blindness typically looks like. Instead of growth, he advocates for Ti principles that remain logically consistent and infallible throughout time and circumstance. His thought process looks like this: "Growth is impossible because it is illogical. No one else can grow, and I can observe this in the real world (Ni/Se), so there is no reason to believe that I, as an individual, am capable of growth (devaluation of Fi/Te)." I also just think that Fe blindness is kind of absurd. Think of Maki, Kirigiri, and Kamukura. What differentiates them from Komaeda? They are expressionless, unable to see any value in objective expressions of feeling - why should they need to prove what they feel inside with expressions? They are blunt and matter-of-fact - uncaring about what others think of them. Komaeda, on the other hand, is quite polite. His brand of "bluntness" is more akin to social awkwardness, which is possible for any introverted type - even IxFJ. It is accidental - a short break from his usual sunny, polite demeanor. He is expressive, aware of social rules, and even worries excessively about what Hinata might think of him, as seen in his "Shot through the Heart" event. I think that the vote change is progress, for sure. There is absolutely no way that Komaeda is an Ne type, o and no one has provided adequate evidence to suggest otherwise. That being said, I think that Fi/Te vs. Fe/Ti has been the real center focus of debates all along, and I think that criticqlal evidence has been dismissed based on the stereotype that Fe types will always do what is selfless. Fe is not selflessness, and Fi is not selfishness. Fe is not dishonesty, and Fi is not honesty. The problem here is that those are behavior-based judgements, when MBTI is a theory about *cognitive* functioning. (Thread: 1/2)
