1/2 At first, I thought Jax was an ESTP. However, after further observation, particularly after episode 6, it became clear that he is actually an ENTP. Let’s break down the cognitive functions: ENTP: Ne-Ti-Fe-Si ESTP: Se-Ti-Fe-Ni --- Why Ne over Se? Jax is well-known for his tricks and playful behavior. But after episode 6, he gives Pomni—and the audience—a glimpse into the deeper reasons behind his actions and motivations. For instance, Jax explains that he has an archetype for everyone in the circus. He considers himself the “funny” one and feels compelled to act according to that role. He also believes everyone is no longer technically human and can do anything, so there’s little point in being overly considerate—everyone is just a cartoon character playing a part. Let’s break this down further. --- Why not Se? Se is focused on the present moment, enjoying immediate stimulation without necessarily seeking deeper meaning. Se dominants engage with the external world and often add variables for thrill or excitement. If Jax were Se dominant, he might simply think, “I’m in the circus—what can I do now?” Se would focus on immediate reactions, not on building a broader, abstract framework. Consider episode 5, where Jax made Pomni the president. He assigned roles to everyone except her, saying, “I wanted to see what you would do.” On the surface, this could seem like Se—testing reactions for immediate amusement. But episode 6 clarifies his motivation: he didn’t know Pomni’s archetype yet. He deliberately gave her no script to see how she would act when given a big role. The goal wasn’t thrill—it was to expand his understanding of his abstract framework of archetypes. While Jax enjoys the excitement of what he experiences, it’s secondary to his primary motivation: exploring patterns and possibilities. This is not Se. --- Why Ne fits Ne gathers ideas from the external world and explores connections between them, seeking broader possibilities and meanings. Jax throws characters with different personalities into complex scenarios—defusing a bomb, assigning Pomni as president, having Gangle play the “bad guy”—to see what unfolds. He does this to discover Pomni’s archetype, not just for immediate stimulation. Ne thrives on combining unrelated ideas to form bigger outcomes, and Jax does exactly that—he creates chaos, mixes random scenarios, and observes the results. His excitement comes not from the external thrill itself but from seeing his ideas, his abstract framework, play out in unpredictable ways. In short, Jax’s Ne drives him to explore possibilities, test combinations of ideas, and map patterns in behavior, all in service of a larger understanding of the world around him. --- Why his Ne can look like Se Jax does act in the moment, but for ENTPs, this is a byproduct of exploring possibilities, not Se-style thrill-seeking. He lives in the moment because he has concluded—through Ne and Ti reasoning—that everyone is just playing archetypes. He follows the flow not just for stimulation but because it aligns with this abstract understanding. He uses 'living in the moment' as a tool not the driver. --- Ti, Fe, and Si Ti: Jax uses Ti to back up his Ne conclusions and test ideas for consistency. His scenarios with Pomni are designed to gather evidence to later connect the dots and determine her archetype. Fe (tertiary): His Fe is on the more immature side. He mostly uses Fe to provoke reactions, manipulate situations, and perform theatrically. This can be seen when he tries to grasp reactions from the cast members, uses sarcasm, and jokes around. Si (inferior): Rarely visible, but it appears in moments of nostalgia or reflection. For example, in episode 6, after Pomni leaves, he lingers in the hallway, looking at the abstracted members he secretly cared for. This suggests Pomni triggered memories of past connections. Similarly, in episode 5’s intermission, he runs to an abstracted member’s door, showing that he holds onto moments he values. Si is weak but present, fitting its inferior placement. These moments reveal his attachment to specific past experiences and his subtle longing for consistency or familiarity—classic inferior Si traits.
Biography
Jax is a mischievous, laidback, calm, sassy, impulsive, egotistical, and brazenly condescending individual, and rarely shows any empathy or remorse for those around him. He's indifferent to his imprisonment within the Digital Circus, an attitude that extends to his interactions with others. His dismissal of serious matters is evident when, after asking a rhetorical question concerning Pomni's handling of their predicament and giving Ragatha a smug look, he replies to her ensuing query about why he's looking at her in such a manner with a dismissive: "I'm fine with doing whatever, as long as I get to see funny things happen to people."
