Personality

What personality type is Robert California? Robert California is an ENTJ personality type in MBTI, 5w6 - sx/sp - 584 in Enneagram, SCOEI in Big 5, LIE in Socionics.

At first I was sure he was an INFJ, he does come off as a stereotypically unhealthy one due to his understanding of how people work and holistic "truths". However, after rewatching season 8 for the 14th time I'm very much sure he's either an ENTJ or INTJ. In S8 E1 he says something that comes off as very Te to me (and anti Fe) "Let me tell you some things I find productive: positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, honesty. I'll tell you some things I find unproductive: constantly worrying about where you stand based on inscrutable social norms and then inevitably reframing it all in a reassuring way so that you can get to sleep at night, no, I do not believe in that at all." This comes off as Te-Ni with some Fi over Ni-Fe to me. He's outspoken about what he thinks even when it causes chaos among his subordinates and he's not one to worry about where he stands in social situations. I definitely think his strong Ni can be misunderstood as Fe in social situations, though-- his ability to jump to accurate conclusions about things and people does appear to be Fe at first, but is most definitely Ni reinforced by Te. He also displays Fi>Fe in S8 E2 when he talks with Andy about his crush on Erin. Robert: "You like her." Andy: "I-I do." Robert: "She likes you." Andy: "You know we've both been interested in each other at different times and just never really synced up? Now we're in this weird dance where we're--" "I'm afraid you've lost my interest." His curiosity is peaked when he realizes that Andy likes Erin (Ni) and states it as fact to Andy (Te). When Andy starts to explain his feelings and Robert loses interest, he's not afraid to state it (Fi) and move on to things that he would rather do. No Fe there. But now I'm not sure if he's an INTJ or ENTJ, anyone have an arguments for or against one of those? I'm kind of leaning toward ENTJ, I just think he might have well developed auxiliary Ni. Thank you for reading my novel :)
