After looking true it again, I think I agree with LSI. I admit I wasn't paying that much attention and didn't watch the whole thing, but on a second glance both his tone, his gaze, and his whole body seem to be too fixed into a single position, to the point where you can skip through minutes and they're still in the same place. That looks like balanced-stable to me. From what he indicates he's very disciplined, able to stand his ground and active, even physically which is more Se than one would expect from a ILI, a type which often falls victim to lethargy and prefers to be a conceptualiser moreso than an implementer. Also puts emphasis on his love for systematisation and organisation, even being into cleaning. A bit of Ti-Si here and in the other areas you mentioned. These types can blend in a bit on some areas depending on subtype and other attributes, both being process logical types with very strong Ti which can make LSIs look very abstract when they go deep into theory, but upon further examination he does seem to be a bit too grounded. It always goes back to his work or the things happening on his life somehow, and the things he does he usually does with a purpose. ILIs are more detached and wandering. Some of these things I had already noticed but just chalked up to subtype influence.
Anyways this was a huge session of me arguing with myself much moreso than you (yay dialectics). In the end though I do agree with your type more than my original one. Not completely sure of it but while I did read a lot about Model G, I'm still quite inexperienced so I'm open to the possibility there's something we might have missed. But yeah my vote now goes for LSI.
Also, nice to meet you too. I really do wish there were more people discussing SHS but honestly? I'm not surprised at all. Not only does it go against a lot of the Model A that people know that makes it look weird and blasphemous, especially with all the LSI and EIE typings that Gulenko does (which in my opinion says more about average person who's really invested into socionics than it says about his system), but also and most importantly, it's just hard to learn and understand and wrap your head around. There isn't a neat little wiki with tons of well put together resources from many different authors throughout the years going into detail about every part of the theory. Your biggest freely available resources are Gulenko's incredibly mid website which is shallow, especially in english, has some outdated information, bad type descriptions, and can sometimes leave you with more questions than answers or just begging for an elaboration. Aside from that you have his book which most won't bother buying, although there's a PDF online, which makes it not only piracy but inconvenient for most. And that's it really for official sources. Most of what I know I learned from reading lots of reddit comments from people who studied directly under Gulenko, that or Varlawend's blog. Model G is straight up paywalled and although I can understand that the guy needs to make a living, it's frustrating and sort of dooms it to be unpopular, because how will people agree with something they don't understand at all? I see more people getting into it every day but still, don't think it will ever be on par with A, the information on it is just too limited. Oh, well.
