One Piece: Nami (ESFJ)
Fe:
โEveryone is expecting help from you, but you come here and donโt think about doing anything to help those people?โ
โIs our navigator having another meltdown?โ โ Nico Robin
โDonโt forget. Her chief skill is deception.โ โ Arlong Pirates crew member
Nami, while appearing to possess Te bossiness, is actually very emotionally fueled. One can see this clearly in sentimental or emotional situations. She is one of the few crew members to be seen crying during the battle between Usopp and Luffy, and she is quick to want to accept him back. Zoroโs initial demand to only allow Usopp back if he apologizes shocks Nami. In addition, the crew members are periodically shown making cracks about her mood swings, meltdowns, and etcetera. In general, Nami is quick to demonstrate her emotions, whether it be anger, sorrow or fear, and she usually allows them to take the lead. Throughout the show, Nami is shown getting angry with people who fight dirty, use other people as shields, insensitivity, and rudeness, which are all Fe triggers.
Nami has an acute awareness of other peopleโs emotions, which allows her to manipulate their actions, or respond in an appropriately sensitive way (when she wants to). For instance, when Chopper is going to say goodbye to Dr. Kureha, Nami tells everyone to leave Chopper and Kureha alone because this would be an emotional time for them. When Chopper first gets aboard the ship, Nami is very sensitive toward the reindeer, and gets mad at everyone for goofing off during the โsentimentalโ moment. During the Skypeia Arc, Usopp mocks Nami for tacking her own sentimental nonsense onto the end of the Noland book. Nami is generally very sentimentality throughout the series, which ties back to being a feeler. When it comes time to give up the Going Merry, Nami, like Usopp and Luffy, is incredibly upset, although her logical side is able to take control relatively quickly as she recognizes the need for something more reliable. While Nami is frequently portrayed as a coward early on in the series, oftentimes she is able to muster up enough courage to fight when her friends are at stake. When itโs merely her own life, she runs.
Si:
โJust one more time and everything will be the same. Everything will come back to me. And I will be free from Arlong. Bellemere-san. Finally, I can laugh with all my heart.โ
โThere are priests on this island, and everyone knows youโre not suppose to anger god! Thatโs just common sense!โ
โIt would be [a good thing] if we knew the layout of this fortress or even had an escape plan. Leave it to Luffy to forget the important stuff.โ
Nami enforces practicality, common sense and caution, when necessary. She frequently yells at them all for acting stupid, drawing too much attention, starting unnecessary fights, not being careful enough, being too hasty, and etc. With the Straw Hats, she not only plays role of navigator, but also money manager. All purchases typically run through her. Sanji is even shown asking her for permission to a buy a new refrigerator. She also keeps detailed tallies of how much money she has lent each crew member. When she initially joins up with Luffy, Nami is the first one to suggest that they need supplies, a better ship, and a larger crew. Sheโs one of the more cautious and concerned crew members, not showing as much excitement as the rest of the Straw Hats whenever their bounties increase. Sheโs also very detail oriented, which is required to draw all of the charts and maps.
In addition, Nami is holds onto a lot of things from her past, as a result of Fe-Si. She takes a tangerine tree on board the Going Merry in memory of Bell-mere. She later transfers the tree to their new ship, the Thousand Sunny. As another nod to the past, Nami covers over her Arlong pirate tattoo with a tattoo that is a cross between a tangerine and a pinwheel, in honor of both Bell-mere and Genzo. Her love of money is also rooted in her past. Nami grows up poor, and she is shown being upset about this as a child. Then, to add fuel to the fire, Nami strikes a deal with the Arlong pirates to buy her islandโs freedom, which further enforces in Nami a need for money. Therefore, Nami holds onto this money-hungry mentality, and displays a constant desire for money and wealth for the entire show. One could suggest that her spending habits suggest Se, however, she typically finds really good deals and doesnโt over-indulge in shopping otherwise. Sheโs very shrewd and thrifty.
Ne:
โThis is bad! I canโt escape like this! Luffy, hurry up and take down Eneru! Waitโฆ what if the ship falls from the sky when Eneru gets defeated? No, if we donโt stop Eneru, the Sky Island will be gone for good! What should I do?! (aloud, to Luffy) What should we do, Luffy? Weโฆโ
โAre you insane old man? Suppose the snake starts going wild? Youโre going to get us all killed!โ
Nami only has tertiary Ne, so she doesnโt possess the wide-eyed wonder of the higher Ne users, like Luffy and Usopp. Instead, sheโll use Ne to suggest possibilities of how a situation may turn out, like in the quote above. Nami is very good at recognizing ways in which she can turn every situation to her advantage. She also uses Ne to brainstorm for potential solutions or reasons why something might be. Sheโs also constantly asking or wondering why theyโre doing something, like when Gondfall is trying to demonstrate the impact dial by having Usopp use it on a barrel. However, Nami always stays on point, and gets frustrated when the other crew members get carried away, take things too far, or miss the point entirely. She is frequently shown yelling at Usopp, Luffy, and the others for this reason. Sheโs also curious, when not overcome by fear. This is demonstrated on Sky Island, when she takes out the waver by herself and explores the area for a while.
Ti:
Namiโs inferior Ti shows up the strongest during the Skypeia Arc for a couple of different reasons. First, Nami is shown getting incredibly upset when sheโs treated like an idiot due to asking about Sky Island. She, unlike Zoro and Luffy, takes the whole incident badly, and then for a while is very sensitive about anything that might be construed as getting mocked or being made fun of, which is an example of inferior Ti. During this time, when any crew member laughs at her, even innocently, Nami gets incredibly angry and flips out. Low Ti users are secretly sensitive about being perceived as a illogical or dumb. Secondly, sheโs also shown to be superstitious, another tendency of low Ti users. This shows up once theyโre actually on Sky Island.
Namiโs tragic past caused her to rely heavily on her Ti. Sheโs very skeptical, questions logic, and doesnโt readily believe in things that defy her knowledge, like the new kind of cloud described by Nolandโs ancestor, Montblanc Cricket. Luffy also announces that he sees a really large seagull, which she instantly dismisses as impossible, until later when sheโs forced to admit he was right. Ti also aids her in manipulation of others, allowing her to take her objective Fe observations, and use them, insensitively, to her advantage.

I still think Nami is a Te-dom. She is all about forming workable plans, deciding the most efficient course to achieve her goals and bossing people around to reduce inefficiency. At the beginning of the series, she comfortably uses these tactics for her goal of stealing money. When Igram wanted Nami to rescue Vivi, her first reaction is to strike a bargain with him in return for money. When first striking an alliance with Luffy, she uses him for Te-purposes (striking a deal with him, selling him out to Buggy), seeing him as a tool. She points out the undeniable facts to people and views things in a business like mindset โyou do this and I do this and we seek mutual benefitโ. She is able to put aside her emotions and bottle them up whilst under Arlongโs captivity, being able to suppress her sadness of feeling disconnected from her community- Cocoyashi village-common Fe trigger. Her sister Bellemare mentioned that she had never seen Nami cry after Bellemareโs death until we saw it in the One Piece storyโ>Fiโs emotions internalised + private. She trusts verifiable pieces of data the are proven by external sources. She doesnโt need group consensus to feel like she can call the shots nor is her focus on maintaining group harmony. Her value system is pulled from herself and never absorbs peopleโs feelings she did not share. Thinkers are capable of crying and being highly emotional especially ExTJ women- with Nami it tends to be more blunt. Compare her to ESFJ Vivi- whose focus is on entirely maintaining emotional harmony, her strong willingness to bow down against Dalton and rebuking Luffy for being irresponsible as a captain for not considering the diplomatic solutionโ>focus on needs of external object (Nami), her values are pulled from the expectations of her community, how she moralises that โthis is objectively wrongโ or โsocially inappropriateโ. Nami in comparison focuses on the interpersonal.
I have definitely considered the argument for Te dom for her.. and on occasion still do. However, in moments like the fight between Usopp and Luffy when Nami is one of the few openly cryingโฆ Whereas the clear Thinkers like Zoro and Sanji are just watching sullenly. Plus, Sanji was quick to back Zoroโs demand that Usopp apologize before being allowed back in, and Nami really struggled with that, which shows heart over head. Her sister never seeing her cry after that tragedy could easily be Nami falling into the gripโฆ after all, she is shown crying many times in the series, whereas for Sanji and Zoro itโs a lot less common.
โWhen first striking an alliance with Luffy, she uses him for Te-purposesโ
Nami is selfish and uses Luffy for selfish reasons. High Fe users are not exempt from this. Doflamingo used people all of the time.
โShe is able to put aside her emotions and bottle them up whilst under Arlongโs captivity, being able to suppress her sadness of feeling disconnected from her communityโ
This could just be grip Ti due to an extreme tragedy
โdeciding the most efficient course to achieve her goalsโ
Iโm not sure where youโre getting this from
โShe is all about forming workable planโ
Si users love plans as well due to a need for security
โShe doesnโt need group consensus to feel like she can call the shots nor is her focus on maintaining group harmonyโ
Fe doms frequently try to take control of the group regardless of group consensus. As for group harmonyโฆNami struggled a lot when crew members seriously foughtโฆ like Sanji and Luffy or Luffy and Usopp. She glossed over the playful stuff, sure.
I havenโt typed Vivi so I canโt really use her as a comparison, however, the two have very different backgrounds. Vivi is probably overall a more healthy and moral type, versus Nami who was brought up as a thief and a pirate after suffering an extreme tragedy.
