What personality type is Near? Near is an INTJ personality type in MBTI, 5w6 - so/sp - 513 in Enneagram, RCOEI in Big 5, LII in Socionics.
Perfectly evident if we compare him to L. L was very limited on his Ti, but he still uses Fe to play that goofy character and to keep people in the fog. <—> Near however has blind Fe, and compensates with Te and Fi. He straight up tells Mogi that he’s “unnecessary” to the investigation and makes it clear to Light that he thinks he’s Kira and that his actions are despicable. That’s blunt Te and Fi moral code of sincerity. He’s also much more pragmatic and opinionated. - L had a step by step approach, with concrete logical coherence, Near uses intuition and hunches a lot. Even his name means that: Near, because he’s near the solution but can’t catch it (at least that’s what the writer said). His Ni has a finger on it the whole time, but he’s always still “looking for something”, which in the end Mello gave him. The extra data to defeat Light. - I also like how his toys and buildings always symbolize his thought process. That’s Ni projecting the abstract data into real objects so that it can operate on them. Clear INTJ, and not the same as L, despite of what people say.
