- Ne (Extraverted Intuition) – dominant
- Ti (Introverted Thinking) – auxiliary
- Fe (Extraverted Feeling) – tertiary
- Si (Introverted Sensing) – inferior

Pattern Analysis via Cognitive Functions
Ne (Dominant Extraverted Intuition)
- Evidence: His creative energy bounces between genres and styles, and he thrives in open-ended, improvisational spaces.
- Analysis: Ne shows up in his career variety, comedic timing, and ability to reinvent himself. He enjoys exploring different roles and perspectives.
Ti (Auxiliary Introverted Thinking)
- Evidence: Subtle in public, but evident in how he constructs responses that are clever, dry, and often logically twisted for effect.
- Analysis: Ti supports his quick wit and inner consistency. His humor often plays with paradox and subtle logic, not just surface-level entertainment.
Fe (Tertiary Extraverted Feeling)
- Evidence: Highly expressive emotionally and responsive to social contexts—empathetic in interviews, attuned to emotional tones.
- Analysis: Fe allows him to maintain rapport, connect with others on a human level, and project warmth even when joking provocatively.
Si (Inferior Introverted Sensing)
- Evidence: Doesn’t reference personal history often; more future-oriented and focused on reinvention rather than legacy or tradition.
- Analysis: Inferior Si reflects his low interest in routine or grounding. Instead, he improvises, adapts, and lives in possibility.
Conclusion
- Dominant Ne → improvisational, exploratory, spontaneous
- Auxiliary Ti → witty, clever, subtle reasoning
- Tertiary Fe → emotionally attuned, socially warm
- Inferior Si → low interest in convention or fixed roles
Synthesis
Pedro Pascal fits the mold of an ENTP “Charismatic Improviser”—a dynamic, humorous, and multifaceted individual who thrives on novelty, creativity, and human connection. His Ne fuels his spontaneous humor and career reinvention; Ti underpins his clever and sometimes absurdist commentary; Fe connects him effortlessly with others, while his inferior Si leaves him unburdened by tradition or predictability. Pascal doesn’t anchor himself in a fixed identity—he’s always exploring new characters, ideas, and expressions of self.
