Will Hunting MBTI Personality Type

Personality

What personality type is Will Hunting? Will Hunting is an INTP personality type in MBTI, 6w5 - sx/sp - 684 in Enneagram, RLUEI in Big 5, LSI in Socionics.

You type people with really weak logic ... I know i will go against the opinions of many people but i only say what i think. Just because he's fights oriented you say he has a strong Se, and you say he can't be an INTP because to you they're just nerds who can't fight. That's stupid. Y'all need to understand that Se is much more than just being good at fighting. For that you can just train or make it becomes an habit. Se people are people who like risk, change, they are always looking for new sensory experiences to feel excited. Will is not like this. He is afraid of change, when skylar asks him to go to California with her he refuses because he is afraid. Afraid of the future, because he does not know if their story will go wrong, what will happen, etc ... Even if it may not seem at first sight , he is oriented towards comfort, what he knows. His Ne, on the other hand, is stronger than his Ni. A big difference but also similarity can be seen between Will's Ne and Sean's Ni (also him mystiped, clearly a Ni user). Will at first just pretends he's not interested, but as he develops it's clear how involved and fascinated he is by Sean's philosophy. Will externalizes his multiple and disordered thoughts, while Sean observes him, listens to him, analyzes it all and gives it meaning. This is the gist of the whole understanding between the two, one of the clearest examples of a Ni-Ne combo i've ever seen. I think this fact is why there is this kind of connection between the two of them. Also he is much more oriented towards ideas and theorical things rather than facts themselves. Solves the equations / math problems on the board out of pure curiosity, read and studied books about science, phisics, etc... also just for pure curiosity. A scene that also shows very well his intuitive side: when Sean asks him if he wants to call Skylar back and he says no. When Sean asks why, he replies "because this girl is beautiful, smart, funny, and what if i realize that in reality she's not that smart, and she's boring? this girl is like, ******* perfect right now, i don't wanna ruin that " he's fascinated by the ideas, the concepts. he's a INTP born and raised in a street lifestyle where he has been taught how to fight, can't change my mind.
