VI's ethical and se valuing... introvert bodily movements from the video. Imo ESI-Se works
I agree with gamma SF. Ne polr makes sense
What I noticed about his tracks: the general patterns rely on one underlying loop or wavering sound, there isn't much change, not in volume, pitch, tempo et cetera. Apparently, he even uses some outdated and overly simple program to create his music while sitting in his bed all day, how cute is that.

Compare Diplo, Alpha NT, some erratic experimental stuff is going on:

So yea -->PoLR for Martin.
His tunes are all over my playlists actually, I binge-watched his interviews onceI'd have no problems with him as a dual.
He is probably gamma but I have trouble seeing him as an ethical type IMO.
Why? He talks about social relations all the time though. It's the reason why he does what he does, not because the matter of music itself is of primary importance, that developed later.
Getting along, meeting others, support, liking, helping, collaborating, experience ...! He also dips into Ni HA during the last half of the video.
And: Te-suggestive. VERY open to mentoring, getting taught how it's done, feedback, advice, what's behind the career, "the right reason". Also: tutorials!
-Cold, matter-of-fact delivery -- Te Base
-Zany, spaced out throughout the interview -- Ni Ego
-Sharp body movements -- Si PoLR
-"Always focus on the positive stuff" -- Positivist
-"If people don't like the shows, then I'm worried" -- Fi seeking
-"of course there are some things I miss out(birthday party)" -- Si PoLR
-"Age is just a number" -- Si PoLR, Ti Ignoring
LIE-Te
Cold? Look at those wild gestures (esp the beginning, expansive arms) and emotional commitments: "Worried" "Challenging"... Very subjective statements. That's not "matter-of-fact" in general but "matter-of-fact" in Martin's world. Also, the eybrow game... he basically says everything with his mimics, he's an open book. Plus, the vocal intonation: 2:13.
Not spaced out, but introspective.
Sharp body movements - no. He moves back and forth, some movements are jerky, even. Strong torsions and fidgeting. Look at 1:40 onwards, very uncontrolled and sudden arm figurines and body twisting.
Being optimistic doesn't equal positivist. Get the definitions right! Positivists focus on what is already given + negativists focus on lack of something. "There are clouds in the sky today" VS "no clouds in the sky today".
A LIE doesn't care about whether their shows are liked as a primary goal. LIEs are all about the cash and visionary delivery first. As a LIE myself I would go like: "The people already paid so whether they liked it or not doesn't matter, my efforts were rewarded by payment and my innovative message is out there!" Fi-seeking means taking advice on how to make something/yourself more likeable. Sticking to my example, Martin would probably approach me saying "But Chae, aren't fans are the most important part?"
That was a Fe-ignoring statement. Si PoLR disregards body matters and immediate surroundings.
Ditto. Age is just a number? TeNi would say: Why of course, time and age are important! Ti ignoring is about not caring whether something is coherent or not.
----> LIE-Te is the epitome of "usefulness" and objectivity, Martin is the exact opposite. ESI-Fi, LIE-Te's dual.
I wondered about Tiesto's type. He's a key figure in Martin's life. From the Tiesto thread itself I got SLE and LSI but those suggestions had no explanations whatsoever. No explanation, to me means: not valid.
What I got from some footage was ESE. Essentially, he's a mood maker.
Tiesto wants to create a fun-oriented, but aesthetic experience. Very directed in his ways of making actual club life happen on a practical level. Comfort-loving, refined taste (look at his home... looks like the Rennaissance 2.0). Innovative, defining the new. Has been the "first" in several ways. Very sympathetic and polite presentation, Fe-smiling all the time. 100% non-intimidating despite his shark-like look (someone in the comments called him a reptile - if you listen to him, the complete opposite comes across). Always talking about the latest technologies and, first and foremost, people. His fans, collaborators, staff. Light-hearted and keen to produce a positive atmosphere.
It's predictability, I mean sure Tiesto's tracks are more complex, but he is in business for like +20 years. He helped Garixx with his tracks so maybe that's why it sounds similar to me.
They both have constrained body language which usually I associate with Ij temperament. Feel free to disagree.
No, I see the constraint and predictability as well. He did sound more Ij in the video so the focus on Si I was seeing was the demonstrative that Martin also has, case in point. Also I think they are both synflow, Tiesto sp/so and Martin so/sx. Hm... Martin modelled his music after him in the first place so the teaching might have intensified that. Anyways, thanks!
Trying to practice VI, i'd guessed LSI, ILI as possible types for him
"Inasmuch as it is nothing but pure communicability, every face, even the most noble and beautiful, is always suspended on the edge of an abyss"
They asked the fox, "Who's your witness?" The fox said, "My tail!"
Tiesto seems LSI, Garrix maybe ESI
Garix - IEI-Fe 4w3 - he's totally got those boyish intuitive Ni eyes defocusing and looking right past the object
Tiesto - Se-LSI 6? something about him seems sensing type of massive
