Alright, after rewatching Cars 2 I gotta say...he passes the ESFP vibe that likes the simple, grounded and fun-loving hippie that gets content with way too few. Truth is that he's actually Ne dom and I have been ignoring that in favor of my impressions before I rewatched Cars 1 and 2. In Cars 1, you could definitely say he could be either, but Cars 2 sells ENFP. He not only acts always on Ne and Fi, he also shows Te and Si in a healthy manner during some moments of the movie, something that when I watched before, I didn't notice it, and now on the rewatch the Ne and Si get way more clear. Mater doesn't show much Si regularly. He doesn't face reality with step backs and reevaluation. But he does show that whenever people need fundamentals on the history of car engines, its eternalization and the past experiences he had to retain this knowledge, he is more than capable of using it. However, since he retains his Si most of the time, I don't think he's INFP. Inferior Si and Tertiary Te makes more sense to me than the opposite. And his dominant Ne is pretty telling actually. Yeah, he doesn't need a lot to be content with, but he doesn't stop searching for it. Also one of the reasons for him being a 7 and not a 9 or a 2. He's very on board with new ideas and concepts. Just look at how he acts in the start of Cars 2 when they're in Tokyo. He clearly leads with Extroverted Perceiving. Always on the move somehow. Since it's obvious that he's an FP, I won't argue about his Fi-Te for now, but I can totally understand the ESFP voters. He definitely is more of a blend, but he shows more retained Si than Ni.
