Caught up with all of the manga. Seconding that the only INTJ on the show is Itachi.

The manga's just pretty bad. It really went downhill after Shippuden and peaked at the Chuunin trials. The Ninja World War arc is just one meaningless fight after another. Every time Naruto says he still wants to rescue Sasuke, I want to punch him in the face.

Itachi is an INFJ. And what do you suppose Shikamaru is then?

I'm not caught up with the manga, just with the anime. I read the manga for a little while during the akatsuki saga. I agree with you. It is a little rediculous now that they're just bringing back to life all these dead shinobi and it's just battle after battle. The storyline kind of just went out the window.

Itachi's too detached to be an INFJ. He has a sense of duty, but he's not passionate about it. He even broke from that duty to let his brother live. Then he started working plans within plans to take out whoever's pretending to be Madara (which is really lame, BTW, an anonymous villain for the end). Every time he's in a fight, he's always dispassionate and calm. Sasuke's more like 50-50 calm vs. passionate.

Shikamaru is an INTP. He's very laid-back and has no motivation to act except when he's forced to. You could give him a shogi board and an endless series of peaceful days and he'd be perfectly happy.

Shino Aburame is INTJ.

More of an ISTJ. He's extremely detail oriented, which isn't translated over to English.

To others, his manner of speaking seems like over concern with the trivial points of a conversation which could be left unsaid or providing enough information that will leave questions that could possibly be asked, already answered.

I disagree. He sacrificed his life for his duty to the hidden leaf. I'd say that's pretty passionate. He puts on an appearance of an INTJ when he's in Akatsuki and is supposed to be playing a cold "villain" but his true INFJ colors come out in his fight with Sasuke. He is definately the more caring of the two.

He is a tactical genius and is cold and calculating in everything he does. He doesn't have the "bubbly" personality to be a P. He has to be a J based on his serious nature. An INTP is like Hinata who's quirky or Kakashi who goofs around. Shikamaru is not a P. J's are serious and P's have a playful nature to them. That's at least how I understand the comparison between the two.

**True Rune** · 08-17-2012, 05:06 PM

It's not unlike INTJs to get hung up on that sort of thing.
I agree with Shikamaru being INTP.. he fits the lazy genius archetype pretty well.

INTJ's can't be lazy? I'm one of the laziest people I know. That's why I said I relate most to Shikamaru but I'm definitely not an INTP.

INTJs can have their lazy moments, but they'll have their plans and get back into the swing of things.. INTJs are 'doers' more than 'conceptualizers'. Shikamaru doesn't *do* anything except when he has to, which is 'P' behavior.

	Sasuke - INFJ definitely a little emo boy

But if you want emo it's this guy

( Show Spoiler )

Sasuke has always been quiet and independent and not afraid to speak his mind or be rude to people.

( Show Spoiler )

INFJ's are more considerate of others feelings and often more reserved about expressing their own opinions unless other people ask.

Which one is the feeler?

What does Sasuke do after the whole Itachi thing is resolved? Swear vengeance again.

When Itachi is resurrected, what does he do? Work on his plans again. What does Sasuke do? Follow Itachi like a hound dog.

Also, from the Naruto wiki:


	While a member of Akatsuki, he possessed incredible control of his emotions, constantly displaying an emotionless personality. He only showed surprise when opponents proved more powerful or skilled than expected, and even then didn't lose his composure.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


	He doesn't have the "bubbly" personality to be a P.

P's aren't necessarily bubbly. I do not know where that stereotype comes from. Perhaps from ESFPs.


	He has to be a J based on his serious nature. An INTP is like Hinata who's quirky or Kakashi who goofs around

Hinata is ISFP. Kakashi is ISTP.

Neji's ISTJ. He's big time into social roles and fatalistic before he gets the Naruto treatment and lightens up.

Hinata an INTP? Got to be kidding.

She's probably IXFP to me. And agree with Kisai's points about Itachi.

I meant INFP I think I already changed it.

ESFP, ENFP, INFP, INTP

Compare an INTJ to an INTP. What's the difference? J's are much more serious. Shikamaru is much more serious than Hinata or Yamato or Naruto. They are all P's. Shikamaru is a J. He's just lazy, I don't see what that has to do with whether he's serious or "bubbly" J or P. He's just a lazy INTJ.

I take it you don't think that its somehow a brainwashed Obito?

I remember wondering back in the day if the sharingan was supposed to have some kind of memory imprint of the owner in it, so that stealing and implanting it would fuck you up (thus Kakashi turning into a loser like Obito)

Kakashi should seriously now be like: "Obito, buddy.. pal... I should've taken your other eye the first time. Let me fix that mistake now!" heh

Anyway, Shikamaru: INTP, with some Ne enhanced Te for emergencies.
Naruto... Probably too severely damaged to be typed.

What, an INTJ can't cry? His brother just sacrificed himself for him. Even an INTJ can cry in that situation. That doesn't make him an INFJ. Look at how Sasuke acts throughout the series. He's not concerned about anyone else and doesn't think twice about mortally wounding Karin when she gets in the way of him and Danzo. Even though Itachi puts on a serious nature when he's in Akatsuki (under cover, posing as a ruthless missing-nin when really he is not) when does he ever kill people when he doesn't have to? He goes out of his way not to kill people unnecessarily while still trying to keep his cover and seem strong and ruthless around his partner Kisame.

**Zsych** · 08-18-2012, 01:51 AM

Naa... Sasuke reeks of emotional weakness, and nowhere near enough structured thought.

(and there's no point in wanting to claim a character who gets saved by yet another plot device every 10 seconds... the character is a complete loser)

He killed his entire clan including his parents. He never once goes "Oh man, do I feel badly about doing that." He's the coldest person in the series, beating Orochimaru who felt badly when his parents died.

INTJs are more thought oriented, when they actually execute their plans it might look impressive, but they consider, then act.

Sasuke's current "quest" of revenge is really pointless and petty and a result of having his clan screwed over by the system.. he's damaged goods for the most part, not really an indicator of T vs F, but he is definitely not a guardian.

I'm sure he feels bad about it. But the massive power of T principles and honor, overpower his feelings.

Really doesn't have the intelligent planning of an INTJ though. Not actually very focused. Too moody and rebellious.

If not for good teachers, random power-ups, and people repeatedly saving his ass, he might never amount to anything on his own.

Naruto is somewhat similarly bad - lots of hard work, but not much intelligent thought except in emergencies... You know, Naruto could actually be a perverted I. Maintaining your positive attitude and shielding your mind from shit tons of negative influence, is no small thing. Not easily maintainable if he was really open to people.

Naruto's character always struck me as tragic because he showed brilliance from time to time when intelligence was needed, but he also suffered horribly from being raised by people who didn't care for him or his mental development.

Hmmm.. it was Obito's left side of the face which was crushed and he gave his right eye to Kakashi which matches Tobi's mask and odder things have happened in the manga, so I can't rule it out...

I can't stand how they make all these rules about how much chakra one is supposed to have and conserve and then they introduce these characters like Pain and the real Madara. Madara can basically bench-press God and there's no explanation how the heck he got so powerful. And if he was stymied by the First Hokage, how the heck did The Fourth Hokage beat the First when he was resurrected?

Oh, and all these corpses of the most powerful ninja ever all wind up in Orochimaru/Kabuto's hands and its already given that the corpses of ninjas are things that one's enemies can use to figure out techniques and Impure Land Resurrection is a known technique, so its best if they are destroyed.

And why was Orochimaru trying to kill the Fourth Hokage? Because they wouldn't let him experiment in a secret lab doing Evil Things to humans? Because the Fourth spared his life and was a father figure? Because they were relentingly hounding him even though they had no idea where any of his bases were or what he was up to? Because he wanted to possess Sasuke and the best way to do it was to wipe out everyone he cared about?
