Rick From Rick & Morty Is An INTP

rick from rick & morty is an intp

Rick is 100% an INTP. And people who think he is an INTJ, ENTP or ENTJ have a poor understanding of type functions and the characteristics that typically emerge from each type.


Reasons why Rick Is Not An INTJ

Rick is often seen using deductive reasoning throughout the show. This is completely different from the way xNTJ work.

xNTJ use inductive reasoning, drawing big-picture conclusions from the analysis of a few details. Rick’s method of thinking often follows steps, typical of deductive reasoning. If Rick sees a detail like people looking dazed and sick, he will reason that it’s because they are infected with a virus. If Rick notices that Morty is acting funky and more happy-going then usual, then he will venture into the next step and assume that Morty isn’t real. This is very different from the way an INTJ works. An INTJ has inferior extroverted sensing, meaning their attention to detail are prone to being off when they’re conceptualizing conclusions. INTJs will typically focus on bigger picture meaning behind what their attention is put towards, which usually does not pertain to visual characteristics of other people.

Popular INTPs from other TV shows (who are also typically mistyped by the public) use deductive reasoning, including Dr. House from House and Sherlock Holmes.

Typical of unhealthy INTP, Rick despite being intelligent, resorts to drug abuse to get by with the reality of of life. This constant drug usage is not evident of inferior extroverted sensing because it doesn’t present itself in times of stress (which is what happens for inferior Se) but at all times, whether it’s good or bad.

INTJs also typically have a huge anti-social streak, which is completely different from the way Rick’s personality will manifest. Rick is interested in sociability at times (more discussed on this below), resulting in him hosting parties, which is something INTJs typically abhor. INTJs are typically more slow-paced and usually lack witty responses to people, which is something that ENTJ/ENTP/INTP are more capable of.


Reasons why Rick is not an ENTJ

Rick may be seen as an extrovert due to his outgoingness or ability to maneuver through the world with relative ease but he is far from it.

Specifically, for why he is not an ENTJ, it encompasses some of the same reasons as for why he is not an INTJ. Rick uses deductive reasoning, not inductive reasoning.

Rick also sometimes does things for no purpose, sometimes for the pure comedy of it, like turning himself into a pickle. This is extremely the opposite of ENTJ, who are usually goal-driven and take actions with purpose in sight of some big-picture goal they have set for themselves. At times, we can see Rick engaging in random banter with his despised son-in-law, or engaging in a quest to destroy an intergalactic government out of some principle. Rick is not an ENTJ by any means.


Reasons why Rick is Not an ENTP

This one is harder to prove because the INTP and ENTP share the same functions in similar orders. Also, because Rick can be seen effortlessly using introverted thinking and extroverted intuition throughout the show. This makes sense as he is around 70 years old and has had ample time to develop those functions. However, to understand why he is an INTP, we need to understand the deep differences between how INTP and ENTP usually function.

  1. Rick is not an extrovert because he has the INTP tendency to switch between an extremely social person (hosting parties, talking to others with ease) and complete anti-social behavior (killing others, cursing at strangers, etc.). This is because INTPs have inferior extroverted feeling, causing them to have strong desire for social connection but also drive others away, especially when in their ‘Ti mode’.  This is more adequately pronounced when you see the shifts between Rick’s ‘love’ for his family and how he can seamlessly seem to not care about them at all. Rick’s extroverted feeling seems to arise when tested but otherwise, is withdrawn from the surface of his adventures. This is different from ENTPs, who tend to have their sociability be more present. Finally, Rick keeps a very small, close circle consisting of his family and a few outside friends, who he barely interacts with, which is very typical of introverts.
  2. Rick also does not embody the pure randomness of extroverted intuition (Ne) like other ENTPs. His adventures are fueled by extroverted intuition, helping him navigate through situations but is ultimately supplemental to his introverted thinking. Rick doesn’t improvise as his primary method, but goes in with an idea of how things will go (represented by his introverted thinking) and will stick with it until that idea breaks down and then begins improvising. As soon as Rick has a grasp on the realities of his new situation however, he creates a new theory to stand on and rides along the adventure on that. Deducting ideas based on nearly everything he sees is very typical of INTPs, which is different from ENTPs who may encounter many ideas but not feel compelled to create any logical deductions unless they felt the need to.

 


Once you take into consideration all these different factors, the only answer left is that Rick is an INTP. Rick has strongly developed cognitive functions yet with an unhealthy streak, which understandably leads to mistypings such as INTJ, ENTJ or ENTP.

    Legitimate CBD sweets and gummies should never get you high. These products must be extracted from industrial hemp, which contains inactive amounts of THC. Without THC, these items will remain non-psychoactive and buzz-free. Consulting lab-test results is always an essential step before purchasing any CBD product. If you can lock-eyes on results indicating a pure, and THC free product, then you run zero risk of getting a buzz. Herbal Health’s broad-spectrum formula contains viable levels of many hemp compounds but does not contain detectable amounts of THC.
