Rango: Rango [ENTP]


Extroverted Intuition (Ne): Rango sees the potential of objects in his environment, like using a bottle or a vending machine as a hiding place. Usually however, he sees the abstract potential, rather than the literal. This can be illustrated by the invention of his name and persona, both created on the spot by the subtle suggestions of his surroundings, down to the word he happened to see at the time, "Durango." He invents tall tales effortlessly, backing them up with overblown statements and flowery language. His stories aren't well thought out but townsfolk trust them because they are all concepts that they are familiar with, since Rango picked them up from their own suggestions.   


Introverted Thinking (Ti): Early in the movie, Rango spends little time processing. He relies on Ne/Fe to get him out of jams and neglects to make sure that his tall tales actually make sense. Later, Rango learns to use Ti. He works out logical puzzles like the Mayor's scheme based on a series of deductions, and then concocts a plan to defeat Rattlesnake Jake and the Mayor simultaneously . 


Extroverted Intuition (Ne): In keeping with the fact that he is literally a chameleon, Rango adapts to his environment. He spends a lot of time Ne/Fe looping, pulling whatever idea will get people to like and accept him out of thin air. He adopts the values of the townsfolk  almost immediately, putting on his role of a gunslinger with typical tert Fe flair. He says and does things that will get the townsfolk to accept him, striking on exactly what they need: Someone to believe in. When his exterior moral reference is shaken (Rattlesnake Jake shows that he has been lying to the townsfolk the whole time) he encounters an identity crisis. Until of course, he is advised by a trusted source. (The "spirit of the west.) In the end, he genuinely want's to help the town of Dirt, risking his life to save them.    


Introverted Sensing (Si): The details tend to escape Rango. He has little experience to base his identity on, except in a moment of self doubt when he fears that since he was never a "real" hero, he never will be. In the end however, he remembers an important detail that he then uses to defeat Rattlesnake Jake. (He's afraid of the hawk.)
