SPOILERS WARNING! Dom Se: Very impulsive in his speech and actions. Constantly seeks ways to entertain himself in very concrete, real ways. He's rather creative in his ways of torturing people, yet doesn't invent anything completely original, instead using already existing things. He often observes the present moment and thinks of something cruel to do in the heat of the moment. - "A butcher's boy who wants to be a knight, eh? Pick up your sword, butcher's boy. Let's see how good you are." (S1E02, having randomly noticed Mycah and Arya practicing sword fighting, grasping the opportunity to harm Mycah) Aux Fi: Very immature and unhealthy, he doesn't care for others' opinions and when Cersei told him early on that he could be whatever he wanted and however cruel he wanted to be, he took it to heart because it seemed right to him. Can be rather emotional about his mostly cruel values, using him being the king as an excuse for his evil acts and gets very personal when it comes to something going against it. - "You're talking to a king!" (S2E06, after getting hit with a cow pie in the face and being berated by Tyrion) Tert Te: He's harsh and objective in his statements, not shy with using objective data to judge others, even though he himself isn't great at executing it. He has a vast knowledge of vocabulary and sometimes knows how to use it well. He generally knows how to create plans and has a way of collecting general data and knowledge, although he isn't perfect at it. - "And you're not a knight. Only a butcher's boy." (S1E02) - "Why should every lord command his own men? It's primitive. No better than the hill tribes. We should have a... a standing army of men loyal to the crown, trained by experienced soldiers instead of... a mob of peasants who've never held pikes in their lives." (S1E03, propably the best example of Joffrey's intelligence) Inf Ni: He does whatever he feels like doing and doesn't care for or even consider other possibilities or consequences of his actions, always prefering to enjoy the moment and be cruel and rude to others. This also ended up bringing his demise, as he got too caught up in enjoying the moment and didn't consider any possibilities of things happening any other way than his. - "There's been too much amusement here today. A royal wedding is not an amusement. A royal wedding is history. The time has come for all of us to contemplate our history." (S4E02, a rare moment of him acknowledging something else other than the present) - "I'm going to give you a present. After I raise my armies and kill your traitor brother, I'm going to give you his head as well!" (S1E10. an example of his very simple vision of simply spending his life keeping the peace as long as it protects him. He said he would kill Sansa's brother Robb and give her his head, which I guess ended up almost happening, as Robb ended up dying and his grandfather Tywin arranged it) All in all, a very interesting example of an ESFP villain. I hate his actions, but I can't help but love his character. He's so fun to watch and Jack Gleeson played him perfectly.
