LSI-EIE
In considering his type, I immediately drew parallels between him and Code Geass' Lelouch vii Britannia. The two have strikingly similar histories and beliefs; in fact, it seems a minor stretch to propose that Lelouch was patterned after Gadhafi.
The tale of the young nationalist firebrand who literally plots the overthrow of his nation's government in his dorm room is a common one in history, told multiple times across Latin America at the very least. And every time it seems it's an LSI.
What drives an LSI of Gadhafi's type? Generally, egalitarian values and pursuit of justice (strong socially progressive values) are high priorities in the mind of this type, and the future of their countries is very much on their mind. But why the focus on countries? It's LSI's intrinsic practicality and groundedness in the opportunities of the moment: with every surrounding nation being defended by an army and, at times, markedly different ideologies, LSI internationalist opportunities are far more limited than say, those of alpha NTs, for the simple reason that their goals are different. Thus they turn themselves inward, and here is where the "magic" of socialist rebellion begins. This is not happening just to any ONE LSI -- rather, all the LSIs in the country are operating on this one single principle, that they must move THEIR OWN country forward. This creates a remarkably cohesive block and an amazing unity that the other types just find themselves unable to unite against. From amongst this "borg-like" collective there rises a murmur and a sort of sorting as each LSI matches wits with both the other LSIs and the environment their nation is operating in. In Gadhafi's case, it was required that a masquerade be conducted to persuade Islamists to buy into the socialism Libyan LSIs were embracing at the time. Gadhafi was also a beneficiary of opportunity: he was one of only a handful of capable officers in the Libyan army. But among these he was without a doubt a unique potential -- his ability to mask his public persona behind the image of a sunglasses wearing superhero who could be all things to all people, while committing wholly to none of them, made him uniquely suited for leading the small nation next door to massive Egypt. And there was opportunity: the CIA wanted the monarchy out and the forward-looking Gadhafi was just what the United States wanted to see in the next regime. It was because Gadhafi WAS a superhero that the CIA wanted to see him there, believing that he would become a symbol of pro-Westernism in the socially stagnant Middle East.
However the CIA failed to reckon with the flip-side of all those superpowers. How does a man plot the overthrow of his government from his dormitory? He'd have to be pretty paranoid, and goodness Gadhafi is paranoid and more. As ruler Gadhafi has spread his paranoia to every corner of Libya, creating a police state that his fellow LSI Saddam Hussein no doubt respected. The shadow of his plans for Libya hangs over the nation in the shape of other plans that failed to be realized, opportunities that failed to manifest. Alas, the plan shaped even the ethics, as Gadhafi firmly lost his way in the way that, ironically, LSIs are want to do. Now Gadhafi labors under his own shadow, engulfed by the self-same cloud of fear and lies that he helped create.
