The more I see how true/real NiFe's are truly like and look like, the clearer it seems to me how mbti's understanding of this type is one of their biggest mistakes, profile-speaking (together with their understanding of TeSi, SiFe, just to mention the three types I think are the most wrongly described there - not that the same didn't happen to all other 13 types ^^).

Alright, back to this guy. I've been watching many of his interviews lately, and he intrigues me quite a bit.
I mean, visually, he displays many signals of a Ni-lead (viscous swaying, inertial energy, intense scowls, permanent stare), yet he's unusually bold, cold and mischievous for a NiFe type, and psychologically, he seems to fit the SeTi ("antisage") type more than any other NiFe shade. Here are some of his popular quotes:
"I'm not this callous clown walking around laughing at life all the time. I've had some serious, serious problems in my life. But I've come out with a smile."
"Fucking ignore the system, use it when it suits you."
"Chaos was my philosophy. Oh yeah, have no rules. If people start to build fences around you, break out and do something else. You should never, ever be understood completely."
"Sometimes the most positive thing you can be in a boring society is absolutely negative."
"I love discordancy. It makes people ill at ease and wakes up a part of their brain that's normally asleep."
"I've never done anything deliberately; I just speak my mind, and that is what I consistently do and will always do in any way shape or form that I can."
"Periods of inactivity, I don't know such things. I'm consistently writing. My life is busy. It always is. There are hardly any moments for self-indulgent laziness."
"Move to Italy. I mean it: they know about living in debt; they don't care. I stayed out there for five months while I was making a film called 'Order Of Death,' and they've really got it sussed. Nice cars. Sharp suits. Great food. Stroll into work at 10. Lunch from 12 till three. Leave work at five. That's living!"
So, what do you guys think? NiFe or (Ni-heavy) SeTi?
I don't have much to add, but to agree on NiFe. I see lots of Ni scowling, swaying, and zone outs. He does lots of Fe checking with his interviewers as well. I think you guys got this one just right.
