What is Rin Matsuoka's MBTI type?

So I've seen my boy typed as a myriad of different MBTI Extroverted types, and so I'm wondering which type he actually is? Now that we've had three seasons and a number of movies with him, we've been able to see more of his personality outside of his depressed, unhealthy state in S1. I'm pretty sure his enneagram is Type 3 with an 8-fix, which one's enneatype definitely adds color and nuances to their MBTI type.

The most popular typings I've seen for Rin are: ENTJ, ESTP, ESTJ, and then on Personality-Database, he's voted as an ENFJ.

Which MBTI do you guys think Rin is and why?

With the way Rin has his heart on his sleeve and is arguably the most emotional out of all his friends, it's hard to see him being a Thinker over a Feeler. Honestly, the ENFJ surprised me at first, but as an ENFJ myself and the more I saw of his personality in subsequent seasons/movies, I can actually see Rin being an ENFJ—colored by the competitive ambition of Enneagram 3 with the ignited passions of an 8-fix. In regards to his competitive nature: "ENFJs are extremely competitive people, but they internalize this and do not seek cutthroat means of being the best. Instead of hurting others ENFJs would rather push themselves to become better. They are hard on themselves and are often seeking a sense of perfection." Which really does match Rin. Then his concern for his friends' futures, the way he's a great team captain and teacher (Rei in S2), his bubbly charisma as a kid all show ENFJ characteristics...though they could just be the traits of being an Enneagram 3.

But tbh I'm not sure, the blog posts I've read typing him the different MBTI types above make sense in their own ways. So what are your guys' thoughts?

Are there similarities between you and Rin that you could share? Things you really relate to about him? I don't know much about ENTPs so I'm always up to learn!
