My impression was formed after reading both description, one after another, trying to form an image as comprehensive as possible of the person in question, who by all means sounds like quite an interesting fellow, and somewhat similar to myself may I add, in the way you have depicted his persona. The IP/EJ distinction was actually the hardest one for me to pin down, as your description tends not to reveal so much of his temperament as it does about his static personal qualities and areas of confidence. I settled on ESTj as opposed to ISTp, because the overall sound of the description makes him come off as someone perhaps a bit too active and "unwavering" in terms of releasing energy and getting things done. IPs tend to be more passive, lacking initiative, and somewhat moody. He sounds like a pretty straight-up guy, unconcerned with influencing the emotions of others or openly expressing his, averse to smalltalk, reserved and selective of his company, says what he thinks... I see nothing indicative of Fe. 9w8 because I recently read some enneagram stuff, and because he sounds a whole lot like me.
It's just a guess.
