I don't have much time right now, but the basic idea is the following. The focus in your writing is on understating people, their deeper feelings, behavior and potential, on relationships and ethics (Fi). You're theoretical (Ne), psychology over philosophy (loosely Ne > Ni), skeptical of hierarchies concerning social power and status (Se), and you want/try to be as open-minded and accepting (of diversity, multiple POVs, etc.) as possible (Ne). You express your biggest weakness to be practicality (in a consistent Te way) and welcome assistance in this area. I didn't watch the video, though I may see it later.

What you are saying really makes a lot of sense, and is completely true (Though Philosphy and psychology are almost 50/50 for me). The EII descriptions in general are kind hit/miss for me though. Some (Like the one on sociotype.com) seem completely spot on, whereas others (Usually the ones stretching the harsh ethical judgements and the logical weakness) don't describe me at all. I would view myself as somewhat of a moral relativist who naturally seeks to understand behaviour rather than judging it. And logic in it's pure form is something I am very capable of. Rationally and logically defending and explaining my beliefs is natural to me. I also love deconstructing arguments in general, in a rethoric sense.
Aylen: Ahh, I see. Very interesting! For some reason, I had never considered a band to be a beta enviroment, though it doesn make sense when thinking about it. I obviously love band enviroments and most of my friends are musicians. I even made a video back in the day (I was visually typed LII) about finding it difficult to accept having Se as my PoLR, since I really valued the playful aggression that exists in the metal scene (Which seems very Se to me), and didn't react negatively to it at all. A lot of my friends joke with me being the first death metal psychologist, because I have this calm, nice and accepting demeanor, but at the same time, love brutal music, going to concerts and losing myself in the atmosphere.
Perhaps I should reconsider how I view that quadra and the type...
