*SPOILERS BELOW* TLDR warning if no attention span :P So I think what we're seeing in the comments lately is an INFJ/INTJ 'group hug.' Basically you're typing him as a similar/same type as yourselves, which I think is a very human thing to do (I do this myself I think, INFP btw) and I have found it to be EXTREMELY prevalent on this site in general. However, he is undeniably an INFP who puts his emotions / personal aspirations aside whilst he seeks to find 'himself' on his journey to Mosk and back to romdo. This 'self searching' is a defining trait of many INFPS, which I can relate to a great extent. The show expresses his need to do this before he can develop, displaying fully his empathic, warm-hearted 'true' nature in his encounter with Proxy One in the final episode (listen to his dialogue with Proxy One). This is all complicated by the fact that he is in fact the 'Vincent' aspect of ergo proxy. There is also the proxy one aspect and the ergo aspect who appears in his mind in the library episode as a separate personality within him. In other words ergo's personality is split, to some degree they are all a part of each other. In the final episode this is final episode when Vincent/ergo's characters finally kill Proxy One, thereby eliminating that part of Ergo Proxy. My educated and intuitive guess on ergo's character typing would be as follows: Vincent- INFP he instinctively 'KNOWS' right from wrong (guided by Fi), as observed by re- L's observation of him as an 'ideal' fellow citizen. he is polite, somewhat self effacing and reserved throughout most of the show. This is both what he is and what he is expected to be in Romdo. but that doesn't hold him back when protecting himself or people he cares deeply for (transform to ergo when threatened). consciously avoids emotional expression in romdo, despite the fact he is internally TOTALLY LOSING IT on the inside at various points in the show (unavoidable due to intense Fi and lack of self awareness common in INFP. Many INFPS have selective, somewhat limited memory, as represented in the show by Vincent's amnesia). Deeply sensitive, compensates by pretending he doesn't feel anything in Romdo (not much emotional affectation, 100% not ENFP or ENFJ). Vincent's first name is most likely an homage to Vincent Van Gogh, whose unique vibrant art is clearly the work of another INFP. His second name 'Law' appears to be symbolic of his character's attempts to reorder his life, find answers and move beyond his internal problems and doubts. Ergo Proxy - INFJ drives and influences Vincent to LOOK WITHIN HIMSELF and search for answers in the library episode (my fave) and on an unconscious level throughout the show. much more philosophically inclined/introspective and somewhat 'detached.' Common INFJ behaviour (philosophical nature). Often seen crying behind a mask (see intro), symbolic of hidden 'untapped,' unexpressed feelings. Also shows penchant for theatrics at different points and artistic side of Ergo's character. Ultimately gives Vincent sense of direction that he needs. proxy one -INTJ ( PRIVATELY masterminds a plan which gets the whole ball rolling, typical INTJ characteristic tsk tsk :P). What they all share is introverted intuition, which marks them out as reserved, philosophical , thoughtful types in varying degrees lending the show it's overall theme and mood. Perhaps you are picking up on the INFJ aspect of ergo as well, which may be what is leading to the confusion in the comments. But really its obvious that Vincent is INFP, his feelings are too intense, immediate and visceral to be any other type.
