Throw in its competitive nature, the unreliable source of income, and traveling lifestyle, you can rule out the supposed Si use. Body building is also about physical beauty, form, idealism; it is very aesthetic. LSE is to describe the type of person who lacks that type of perspective. That is my point. He demonstrates more than the cognitive functions and overall type descriptions seem to offer.Yet, by my own point, I highly doubt he is Si polr either, but pickings is pretty slim with only 16 types. In one sense, ETj is best fit, but socionics doesn't do xs because it doesn't fit the theory. Cognitively, he seems Se/Ni. Temp seems Ej. That leaves LIE as best fit, but of course he may not be any of the types on the menu.
