I think you're forgetting that he was very good at manipulating the people around him, which would point me towards NF.
I would attribute this more towards an insufficiently fleshed out character. After all, you can only apply a personality matrix intented for real people to fictional characters within certain limits. So something you see as proof for or against a certain Type may just be sloppy writting, or may refer to something that is not relevant for the story. For example we know very little about how Light's views before he found the Notebook beyond "this world is rotten", simple because it is not needed to develop the story.
He wasn't really idealistic to begin with, though. The whole "world is doomed" view. Only thing that changed that was the Notebook. It became more than a Muse.. to slate his boredom with and then his vision which was NEW. He never thought of doing it before then-- Once given the tool, he thought about it. If he were an INFJ, he'd probably have thought about it a long, long time ago, especially when confronted with his dad's work all the time or helping out. The "What if (I could change the world/I could help/etc)?" never occurred to him until then. If wrong about that last bit, correct me, my memory is fuzzy now qq
