Igor Weisband explained to me his reasoning for typing John Kennedy as LIE more or less thus: "Kennedy seemed to represent the ideal American man, and the US's integral type is LIE, so, Kennedy was LIE".
Personally I think you have to analyze the individuals as such (yeah much more work I know), and to me it's clear that Kennedy was EIE.
And so on and so forth.
