Edit: The replies to this post convinced me to change my vote to ENTP, but I still think Nick is a sx6 (Part 1/2) I see how Nick could give off ExTP vibes, but I’m honestly a little surprised by how many people think he’s an Ne-dom. I can’t think of a scene where he uses Ne, plus his role in the story is practically anti-Ne, as much of his lines are attempts to debunk the utopian possibilities that draw animals to Zootopia. The city’s slogan that “anyone can be anything” essentially champions Ne (in other words, anything is possible) which Nick deems unrealistic: “Everyone comes to Zootopia thinking they can be anything they want. Well, you can’t. You can only be what you are.” He perceives things as they are, blatantly rejects idealism, and is overall very realistic and practical, none of which fits the description of someone with inferior Si/demon Se. He’s also good at adapting in high stress situations, so much that he’s able to keep up with Judy in spite of the fact that she’s had years of training whereas he’s had none, such as when racing to the sky trams, diving into the air to escape a crashing train/managing not to lose the briefcase containing evidence amidst the chaos, etc. He’s present-oriented as well, working as a con artist with no clear objective - The movie doesn’t suggest that Nick is earning money for any reason other than to get by/indulge (The only glimpse we really see of his life outside of conning others are scenes like when Judy goes to Finnick to ask where she can find Nick, and he directs her to where Nick is relaxing, sitting in the sun with a drink) However, I don’t think he’s an Se-dom as opposed to an Ne-dom, as he doesn’t appear to have inferior Ni. Although good at improvising, he doesn’t show a tendency to rush into action/neglect to consider future consequences and instead always seems somewhat cautious about what could go wrong (“After you. You’re the cop.”) He’s also rather overconfident about his understanding of his environment and how things will play out in the future - He is 100% certain that someone he just met (Judy) will never succeed in her ambitions/that she will eventually end up returning home to become a carrot farmer (childlike tertiary Ni) Everyone seems to be in agreement that Nick is a Ti-user, but I believe he is a Ti-dom/Fe inferior, not a Ti auxiliary. Nick is always trying to make a point. The reason he initially clashes with Judy is that whenever he talks to her, he argues that the pursuit of her dream is futile and pokes holes in Zootopia’s slogan to prove that it’s unrealistic/a lie. “Tell me if this story sounds familiar: naive little hick with good grades and big ideals decides, ‘Hey, look at me, I’m gonna move to Zootopia, where predators and prey live in harmony and sing “Kumbaya”’! Only to find - whoopsie - we don’t all get along.” “Are you saying that because he’s a sloth he can’t be fast? I thought in Zootopia anyone could be anything.” Aside from that, Nick has no filter - he always says what he thinks without concern for whether or not it hurts others’ feelings/disrupts social harmony (Inferior Fe) “I just naturally assumed you came from some little carrot-choked Podunk.” “Soon enough, those dreams die, and our bunny sinks into emotional and literal squalor living in a box under a bridge.” “You can only be what you are. Sly fox. Dumb bunny.” “They should have gotten a real cop to find him.” “It would take a miracle to get this rust-bucket going.” “You gave her a clown vest, and a three-wheeled joke-mobile, and two days to solve a case you guys haven't cracked in two weeks? Yeah. No wonder she needed to get help from a fox.” Even in situations where Nick refrains from speaking so bluntly, such as when he’s conning someone and thus trying to hide his true motivations, he seems to struggle to resist speaking candidly: Judy: I just wanna say that you’re a great dad and just a . . . a real articulate fella. Nick: Well that is high praise. It’s rare that I find someone so non-patronizing (a sarcastic way of pointing out how patronizing her compliment was) Inferior Fe seems more fitting than tertiary Fe because Fe isn’t a function Nick uses in the childlike way of the tertiary - He isn’t overconfident about it like he is with Ni, and he doesn’t use it recreationally either. Instead, Fe is at odds with his first instinct - He points out the falsity of Zootopia’s motto because he sees the divisiveness/limitations caused by the city’s social dynamics and refuses to go along with the pretense that everyone has equal opportunity there.
