Is Gojo Satorou a psychopath or an ENTP (Psychopath VS ENTP)?
For me, Gojo, it's ENTP. When I first saw it, I thought he was a psychopath, but when I researched, I realized he was not a psychopath. Here's the info that I read:
(WARNING THE INFO MIGHT HAVE SPOILERS)
Just a little info: people with the ENTP personality type are extremely charismatic. They are often the center of attention with their quick wit and on-point humor. You can see this with Gojo's antics and in-your-face behavior. However, ENTPs lack emotional sensitivity and are not afraid to express their disdain for topics such as tradition, which they discard quickly and easily, or any loose ideas they decide to debate, which can leave people feeling offended or offput. They are thinkers with an underdeveloped feeling function (they are enTp, not enFp) and are more likely to use logical reasoning when facing circumstances rather than their intuition or senses.
When it comes to friendships, ENTPs often enjoy people who can match their quick-witted nature. They need someone who can hold their ground during arguments and debates against them for mental stimulation. This makes ENTPs effective communicators, but many would find them extremely annoying or tiring to be around, especially because they are often unaware of how their words affect others. It's their natural tendency to argue and rebel against set ideas, whether it be for attention or to cure their own boredom, that they express so openly. They are confident even while speaking of their natural inclination to discard existing systems in society, leaving many infatuated with an ENTP's way with words. ENTP's just can't stand willful ignorance and tradition. However, many see this as being pretentious of them. However, ENTPs don't argue for pleasure-it's simply the truth, and they only ever debate ideas based on facts. Many people misunderstand this as egotism. We can see this when Gojo is constantly verbalizing his distate for the higher ups—he may act high and mighty, but his goal is always to prove his point and send a message across, which is that he cannot stand their archaic, inefficient way of handling things, and if pushed, he will fight back. It's not him acting superior; he's simply stating a fact, even if it offends the other person. As an ENTP, he simply has an undeveloped feeling function that prevents him from understanding his and others' emotions. Therefore, even if others are annoyed at what he has said, it's fine because it's only the truth, right? That explains why when Gojo had to ask his students if they would continue the exchange event even though people had died, he was so nonchalant. See how he and ENTPs are so similar?
That said, when it comes to emotions, ENTPs are inclined to suppress their feelings. They're not known for their sensitivity, no matter how much they understand the other person's position. When put in an emotional situation, despite being able to argue both sides of a topic, they are remarkably bad at putting themselves in other people's shoes. They also often misjudge others' feelings and push situations way past others' tolerance levels. From fluencyTherefore, he is even less inclined to be able to understand the emotional needs of other people. That is why he doesn't even realize Utahime hates him. He only thinks her bad attitude towards him is a joke (as said in Gege's fanbook). Shiro on Twitter has the translation. Most ENTPs don't even realize they're annoying to other people. They're just being themselves. Most people just struggle to handle such a person. This doesn't make Gojo an emotionless person; rather, he has feelings, but his natural tendency to suppress them in order to find a logical solution rather than put himself in another's shoes (something he's inherently bad at) infringes on his ability to understand other people.
Therefore, Gojo Satoru is not some emotionless psychopath or sociopath who's manipulative and narcissistic. He simply falls under a commonly misunderstood personality type called the ENTP, an MBTI personality type. ENTPs only make up 3% of the population, making them one of the rarer personalities, which is why so many people can easily create misconceptions about their character. His enthusiasm and confidence in expressing his beliefs and attitude even if it annoys people is something many people can't stand, yes. He has a hard time understanding other people's emotions because he's more rational than intuitive. But that doesn't make him a bad person. He's just one of a small group of people on the planet who are dominated by logical thinking and debate, along with personalities like the INTP (Albert Enstein, for example) and the INTJ (Isaac Newton).
Gojo Satoru is a regular human being just like the rest of us, and he's not some philanderer who manipulates women and would cheat on them. ENTPs definitely struggle with commitment, but that's only because most people can't keep up with their constant need for intellectual stimulation rather than emotional stimulation. While they may find people who are incredibly emotionally sensitive to be intriguing at first, those relationships usually end with the ENTP realizing they would rather have an intellectual equal, like the INTP. They want to feel understood. However, the INTP's personality type only makes up 3–5% of the population, which makes them, like the ENTP, misunderstood and commonly left feeling alone in the world. Similarly, Geto, the person who got the closest to Gojo, has the INTJ personality type, a thinking type that gets along most with the ENTP and only makes up 2% of the population, even less than the ENTP or INTP's rarity. Even from that, the person that would match Gojo's personality type is rare, even statistically. Even so, Gojo himself doesn't even have time to sleep around. The man hardly even sleeps much himself, he's so busy.
