Yeah, I just don't see any Ti in him to be honest (and no one in the comments here has even made an argument for it either, lol). Maybe people get the idea that he's INTP because of some stereotype that since he's seemingly closed off emotionally and doesn't show emotions for most of the movie or something he must have an inferior feeling function, but it's pretty clear to me that Ricky is an Fi-dom that, as a result of childhood abuse, feels he has to hide any semblance of sensitivity or deeper emotions from his abusive military father, and people he's unsure about/doesn't trust quite yet (because he's afraid of how they might judge him). The way he opens up to Jane when he finally feels he can trust someone is pretty telling. "Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world, I feel like I can't take it, and my heart is just going to cave in." You don't even have to bring the whole plastic bag scene into this, that quote alone might be the most Fi-dom statement ever lol.
