Another leader with Dumbledore syndrome. It is fictional character, you don't need to hate him. Hate is irrational and creates delusions. Let's forget about it and be open-minded. We should love and hate just the world we live in; to make it better place. Interesting article about hate: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/between-cultures/201911/understanding-hate ENFJ and ESFJ are both Fe-dominant. They PREFER (key word within MBTI system) to care more about common values (Fe) than their personal reasons (Ti) standing behind them. We are dealing with mature ExFJ, so we don’t need to bother with Ti grip. Old people are hard to categorize, especially if they are fictional. We need to start separating this two types – not with functions (they can be deceiving), but with groups. Differences between ExFJs are: their temperaments (SJ vs NF) and interaction styles (Get-Thins-Going vs In-Charge). SJs are Stabilizers (Guardians) longing for group membership and responsibility: their motive is to support their groups and individuals within them. They need to know they are doing the responsible thing. Their strategy is to cooperate with others, because they value stability, security and sense of community. https://www.bestfittype.com/Models/Stabilizer.cfm NFs are Catalysts (Idealists) longing for meaning, sense of purpose and working for greater good: their motive is to find meaning in their lives, have stable identity. They trust their intuition and impressions first – they will find evidences later. Catalysts want to connect with people: have meaningful relationships; help people acknowledge their strengths and show the ways of possible growth. https://www.bestfittype.com/Models/Catalyst.cfm * Get-Things-Going (ESFJ, ESFP, ENFP, ENTP) “Persuade and involve others” – their motto. They share excitement, explore ideas and possibilities. Their focus is on interactions with people. https://www.bestfittype.com/Models/Get-Things-Going.cfm In-Charge (ENFJ, ENTJ, ESTJ, ESTP) “Get things accomplished through people”. They are focused on results and can act quickly. They lead people to achievable goal. https://www.bestfittype.com/Models/In-Charge.cfm I sense which option is… easier to apply to Hiruzen. But he is written pretty… inconsistent – not everything went like planned [Especially with Naruto: he was alone for the sake of being alone. (Not very realistic in real world – but Naruto is fantasy with its own magic system, so I guess it makes more sense.) Hiruzen tried to influence some people to try understand Naruto (and succeeded with Iruka). We know so little about him – like he was Hokage for at least 40 years and waged 3 defensive wars against other Great Shinobi Countries. Kishimoto-sensei, his team, editors, animation studio had a lot of visions and occasionally made him FeTi instead of FeXiXeTi, I suppose…
