Naruto Uzumaki MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Naruto Uzumaki? Naruto Uzumaki is an ENFP personality type in MBTI, 3w2 - so/sx - 379 in Enneagram, SCUAI in Big 5, SEE in Socionics.
Impulsivity alone does not imply in a Se DOM (ESFP) Creativity alone does not imply in a Ne DOM (ENFP) Therefore, a deeper analysis is required I watched the anime again and realized that I saw Se where there was none. It is not the Se that makes Naruto impulsive, Te’s lack of development makes Naruto decide purely for his Fi. Before, I had dismissed people who described him as "idealistic" and "creative" because obviously the same words can apply to any ESFP, but it is the WAY that Naruto is idealistic, unpredictable and a general eccentric that makes him a Ne dom. Throughout the series, Naruto is by far the most OPTIMIST character. By nature, Se doms are the most REALIST types and are remarkably stereotyped as those who “speak as they are”. People also claims he is Se DOM because he thinks too much in the “here and now” and not in the future, but I disagree with that, he thinks too much in the future, like in an ideal of becoming a Hokage or to bring Sasuke back to the "path of light" in order to save Sasuke, for example. These ideals are kept alive inside Naruto on the entire show. It was only at the end of Naruto Shippuden that finally Naruto was able to accomplish them. Of course, if a gift could have a dream that was not as horrible as becoming a Hokage, but it is unlikely that they will KEEP that dream after every harsh reality of their situation is realized. Ne dom keeps his ideal even if everything goes wrong, even if the reality is harsh, because he doesn't care so much about the reality itself: Si INF. Also Ne looks for possibilities in a given situation, Se tries to find the only “reality”. I can't recall a time where Naruto ever instigated a fight out of sheer want to battle, instead, it was either to defend an ideal, to prove he was stronger, or to protect others. These were not fights just to experience the world, experience the adrenaline, to have new experiences (Se) (see Yumeko Jabami - Se DOM), but rather these fights always had a value, an ideal behind them. All of these behaviors combined just makes him seem more NeFi to me. Furthermore, if you were to insult a Se DOM-Ni INF user like Pain/Obito did, it is unlikely that he could see his perspective as sympathetic. Regardless of Fi's ability to "empathize", when a user with a high Fi rating is harmed, it is unlikely that he can easily change his feelings toward the abuser, unless he is seeing alternative possibilities as a Ne dom. It is also good to note Naruto's way of learning. He learns best from these creative and somewhat eccentric analogies (like looking left/right simultaneously; flushing the bathroom = rasengan; clones to help to make easy to perform rasengan; clones in the wise way). Again, it is not necessarily creativity that makes it ENFP, but how it is constantly unconventional. I don't think Naruto came up with a conventional solution to ANYTHING. Ne is not about complexity,it is about possibilities. Although Naruto is very simple (as the ESFP protagonists are stereotyped), he is far from being realistic. I see Kakashi's approach to teaching Naruto as a good example of how Ne connects him, and how he thrives on the unconventional. ENFP ideas are like lightnings, they just happen, without planning! This is due to the high level of Ne, which also means divergent intuition. The fights which Naruto usually won uses the Ne at it's finest, surprising everyone around them. Yes, Naruto can start a fight with a brainless impulsivity, but let's take a look on how he actually won his fights, from Naruto Classic to Naruto Shippuden. Let's remember how Naruto won the fight against Kiba, JUST FARTING. Shocked every single person around him. Creative and possibilities => Ne. Some people think it was a mistake from Naruto, if you think it was, you can just disconsider this point and move to the next one. Even though the fart actually happened. Let's remember how Naruto won the fight against Neji on the Chunin Exam, using a fake Kage Bushin and entering on the EARTH (who would imagine he would enter on Earth?). Creative, thinking about possibilities very quickly. Creative and possibilities => Ne. Sexy jutsu was also a Naruto's creation. You can laugh, but you cannot deny it's a unique creation from Naruto. Konohamaru even copied. Creative and possibilities => Ne. Rasenshuriken. The Rasenshuriken was invented by Naruto Uzumaki shortly after he figured out the principles of the Wind Release: Rasengan. Creative and possibilities => Ne. To finalize: How about seeing Naruto's most important fight in the entire anime? Naruto x Kaguya https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUMo9aiWDUQ Naruto just used the Reverse Harem Jutsu against Kaguya to win a fight: His words: "You may be the progenitor of chakra or whatever... But I'll bet you've never seen a jutsu like this!" Ne on it's maximum power! That's why I think he is ENFP. For more: https://www.reddit.com/r/mbti/comments/onkd48/why_naruto_is_ENFP_instead_of_ESFP/
Biography
Naruto Uzumaki (うずまきナルト, Uzumaki Naruto) is a shinobi of Konohagakure's Uzumaki clan. He became the jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails on the day of his birth — a fate that caused him to be shunned by most of Konoha throughout his childhood. After joining Team Kakashi, Naruto worked hard to gain the village's acknowledgement all the while chasing his dream to become Hokage. In the following years, through many hardships and ordeals, he became a capable ninja regarded as a hero both by the villagers, and soon after, the rest of the world, becoming known as the Hero of the Hidden Leaf (木ノ葉隠れの英雄, Konohagakure no Eiyū, Literally meaning: Hero of the Hidden Tree Leaves). He soon proved to be one of the main factors in winning the Fourth Shinobi World War, leading him to achieve his dream and become the village's Seventh Hokage (七代目火影, Nanadaime Hokage, Literally meaning: Seventh Fire Shadow).
