In order (and not all are mutually exclusive), I try to go with V.I., A.I., my memory, vibes they give me, information elements as described in Aushra Augusta's Dual Nature of Man, and Reinin Dichotomies.
But for Melania Trump, I can't go with V.I., A.I., memory, or vibe for some reason. Melania Trump seems introverted, sensing, logical, positivist, and both democratic and aristocratic. She seems especially: introverted, sensing, logical, and positivist.
Seems to value and have strong Se and Si really, but she seems to value Ti more than Te, but doesn't seem to clearly value Fi or Fe or be emotionally aware at all. Seems slightly more Fe valuing and it seems more unconscious for her, so Ti/Fe valuing if I had to choose.
Like Clint Eastwood, it's very difficult for many people to decide if she's SLI or LSI-Se, but when you realize LSI-Se love beautiful things, independence, comfort, and are pretty laid-back (often not strained/time-driven, especially if they have a job they love), then you realize that means what you thought was an SLI could be an LSI-Se. I don't know much about SLIs really, haven't known any personally, whereas LSI-Se and LSI-Ti I have a ton of one-to-one experience and have observed many famous LSIs of both subtypes. I have the most one to one experience with Betas (they're who I've spent the most time with except for SLE-Se and IEI-Fe) really and can observe famous LSI-Ti and LSI-Se, haven't spent much time with SLE-Se and IEI-Fe, but I know of some celebrities who were IEI-Fe. Except for 2 ESI-Se and a few IEE and EII-Fi, the Gammas and Deltas i've met personally just went out of my life just barely after I met them. I can identify IEE from a far, but I'm not always sure of their subtypes.
I'm thinking Se valuing from her quotes and from her actions... she had a lot of will. But she does not seem Fe valuing other than her extreme politeness, but as Victor DarkAngelFireWolf69 pointed out, that would be related to her Cold-blooded communication style (but I try not to go with Victor DarkAngelFireWolf69's things too much, in fact, of all the things I know of I think he and his things are among the last sources I'd use; Reinin Dichotomies also aren't great).
If there were people I knew to be SLI, then it would be easier for me to decide Melania's type. SLIs are not easily recognizable in society (at least not in Virginia) and their duals somewhat more recognizable but even then usually only from a distance. Do Deltas purposefully avoid me or something? Why have I spent no time in person, no conversations with females I knew to be ESI-Se but LSI-Se females were quick to come to my aide or criticize or correct me, observe everything I was doing (like their SLE-Ti mirrors) and start conversations with me? Just thinking out loud, not really expecting answers to those questions. One thing I think is that STs somehow have a need to be loved, to be praised and to make things look beautiful and correct and due to weak Intuition of Possibilities (thinking we have nothing better to do, i can't see any further uses of whatever that would satisfy me, so I just wind up moving onto the next person, next thing, and giving advice or charging low prices when someone wants to buy something from me if I'm willing to part with it), and not really caring or not making our actions, whether we associate with someone based upon others' so-called immoral behavior (like say an ESI-Se is said to do), we often just say yes to whatever assistance (or even providing company when someone says to come along) is asked to be provided.
I'm pretty fond of Melania actually, because she's so internally strong, smart, gentle, and beautiful.
I think LSI-Se, simply because she's polite and traditionally feminine in her communication beyond what many people would think is necessary. Many LSI-Se don't try to have a good emotional atmosphere, although as far as I know she never makes jokes (I've never heard her joke), which making jokes seems more like an LSI-Se thing than SLI thing.
