That site has some okay material, but when it comes to typing celebrities they are just absolutely bananas in their methodology. They have Putin as an ILE, J.K. Rowling as an ILI, and Russell Brand as an EII. I would take all of their typings with a fistful of salt, especially because they provide no argumentation for their typings.

Here's a different website that has Gillian typed as LSE:

http://www.socionics.us/celebrities/lse.shtml

Unlike the other site, there is actual justification for the typing:

"We can forget about socionics for a moment and read how Gillian is commonly described by other people, and then compile these descriptions and compare them with our type hypothesis. Some adjectives describing Gillian that I got are: strong, independent, logical, skeptical, and no-nonsense."

"Starred with David Duchovny (EII) in The X Files series."

"Gillian: It was Clyde's smile that first attracted me. He was very quiet, rugged and cool, but I soon realized he had a lot to say and that he was a very intelligent man." "This isn't the kind of thing that IEIs usually value in partners. They like people who are crazy and unfettered and can take them somewhere."

I don't know enough about her to type her myself, but I will say that a serial show like the X-Files which focuses on evolving relationships over time and unusual occurences has a very Delta vibe to it. When I think Beta television, I think of stuff like Ridiculousness. Lots of extreme sports and laughing at other's misfortune.

This may be why I like her so much, I'm also a Ni-Type 6. Although I've heard 6 is somewhat rare for IEIs.

yeah, it is still possible that she is a Fi type. But, idk, she put up that video of Chad Johnson in other thread and said she dated someone exactly like that and that was her dual. I'm inclined to believe her, for whatever reason. She said she even followed his Twitter on the off season. I took one look at his Twitter page, and the first thing that came up said, "SUCK A DICK YOU BALD FAG-GOT". I can't really see a Delta NF being interested enough in that kind of discourse to follow it. Gamma could still be in, but dude is a football player, and from the Beta quadra page:

Beta quadra types are energized by competitive situations where analytical tactics are emphasized.

I know I flip-flopped, but I didn't just do it because she smiled in the video.

I've heard of the demonstrative function, but, I have no idea what the hell you are talking about with dimensions. I have never seen it any of the socionics literature I have read.
