I want Vonnegut on team alpha /pout
Vonnegut is very ILE in my opinion. He has all of it. Fi PoLR / Ne Ti and so on.

I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE

Hmmm not his life experiences but opinions, sure. Which is why ENTp is a bit bewildering tbh. He seems very warm and quite, uh, tactful, to be Fi polr. ENTps to me come off as much more abstract and detached in perspective.
e.g.
“A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved.”
“Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies-"God damn it, you've got to be kind.”
“Many people need desperately to receive this message: 'I feel and think much as you do, care about many of the things you care about, although most people do not care about them. You are not alone.”
I mean he could be a very F-like ENTp but most likely he was just an F type.
re: Ne vs. Ni, I'm not sure I can explain this because I'd have to go into a lot more detail than I'm capable of at the moment but random quotes that bring to mind Ni (or maybe just N > S):
“We have to continually be jumping off cliffs and developing our wings on the way down.”
“I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all the kinds of things you can't see from the center.”
“Here we are, trapped in the amber of the moment. There is no why.”
“When I write, I feel like an armless, legless man with a crayon in his mouth.”
Just my perspective/two cents/etc.
I could go with SEI. He just seems SUPER alpha Fe imo. That's what I get out of most of his stuff. Not a lot of Ni or Se. But I do recommend reading something other than his fiction; specifically, Man Without A Country comes to mind. He's a lot more....jaded and cynical, I guess. It's like his fiction books are, "Hey, here's how everything should be" and the rest are "Hey, here's why everything fucking sucks and people are assholes".
It's just odd to me because he seems to me like an SEI who is heavy with the Ne-Ti or an ILE who is very in touch with the Si-Fe.

Robert Sheckley is likely an LII 3 so/sx with a strong connection to 9. His short stories were a fun read. There were aliens fishing for people via food in their refrigerators, and some war-like civilization placing a draft on a population that was incapable of aggression, so they had to build a prison to try to convince them that they fit in. Lots of absurdity and social commentary abound.
I'm listening to
and it paints Einstein as a dualized ILE and Godel as a hermit crab of a fucked-up LII.
