That's an interesting interpretation. I was actually preparing myself for someone saying he's IEE seeing as I've often seen him typed that way. Would you be able to elaborate?

As for my own justification: I think he has an Ep temperament over an Ip temperament, that he's aware of his power and how to use it to benefit him, that he's forceful and that he's able to create his own power in the absence of structures that lend this power to him. In my original post I wasn't trying to say he was direct, I was trying to say he was pushy. Specifically he's pushy in opposition of the will of his friend and disrespectful of what his friend expressed he wanted for himself. Which is, imo, not very SEI-like, but I do think his actor has a Si-ego vibe.
