I think that he (at least the character he plays) uses Ni/Se and Fi/Te.
You can see many parts throughout the whole video where he has Fi emotion coming through his face when he wouldn't want to show it. He also never has to take the pauses that Ti would take when articulating.
At 1:57 you can see his gaze where he is unblinking, which to me looks like Ni/Se.
He seems like a J-lead, especially because you can see his Fi a lot.
When I read you (I just didn't post in the thread), I also saw TeNi. The only thing that may have been questionable about it for me was that you had pauses that Ti users would have when talking, but I think this was because you were speaking in a language that isn't your first.

Yes it's because of English. In my own native language I have zero pauses. I never look down. In fact I keep going on and on and on and on until people run out of energy.
But I have other dilemma. Although visual reading may or may not prove accurate (my second video was much more natural because in my first video I had some awkwardness due to the fact that I recorded it for the first time for youtube). My dilemma is this. I have grown up in a country that I was not born in. Therefore I am not fully adapted to that place. I doubt I ever will. Therefore whenever I want to go on people aggressively, I do not have confidence to do so. And the reason for that is because I do not know the consequences. That severely limits my ability to move in social positions. But I have to say, the wish to do so is definitely there. And it has no less potential than the Instructor guy. (probably quite exactly like him) But I have no confidence of doing that. Maybe not yet. Maybe I am not at the point of advancing on people like that. However, the interesting part here is that I do advance on people like that in the country I was born and spent majority my childhood at. Therefore I do know the consequences of my actions there. I have no problems with advancing on people there. Confrontation. And I am able to do many other things there that I cannot do here. That's my dilemma. Is it possible that there is something wrong with me? Or I am just in some unlucky position? The answer is very crucial, because many things depend on that.
Another interesting point to add. Yesterday when I was commuting on bus I was listening to the music that I posted in cognitive types and music topic. The music that I was listening was the same music that I posted for Fi. When I listened to it, I didn't hear anybody else. No car noise. No people noise. So I kind of was "myself". And in that mode I have noticed some very strange things about myself. I could stare at some point outside (and not even some object, but it was like I completely had no use for my eyes, whatever they looked at...they are good to be there...I was unconcerned about my eyes) for a very very long time without blinking. That is what you call Ni zoned out look. That is not the only thing that I noticed that I do. Whenever I moved towards people, I gave them subconscious directives about actions that I was about to take. I didn't care about consequences. For example, if I wanted to move somewhere and saw a person somewhat standing on my way, I would just give him an intimidating look and that person would instantly stand aside. It's amazing. I normally do not do that. Well at least not in this country that I live in. But in a country that I was born...hell yes. (a kind of look saying...hey...get lost). Another thing...whenever people walked by me I would just turn my head towards them...and in case my eyes caught their eyes...they would instantly move their eyes away. Obviously they perceived my look as "this guy means business". It was intimidating to them. I do not normally do that. Now looking at that behavior of mine, and what I do when I do not listen to music...I can see big differences. Normally I am quite alert among people. I have second, third, forth opinions about very small details in people movements...looks...etc. It's very mind consuming and I believe I give people different signals. They do not really find me intimidating. They even counter-advance toward me. And I just wish to rip their heart out. Which is quite interesting. Why do I do that with music, while I do other without music. Is there something wrong with me? Or am I just somewhat inexperienced with people? A type of experience that I definitely do not seem to lack in other countries. I am confused.
I'd highly recommend not typing people via their acting performances, as they don't always show their natural state... Here are vids of him in a natural state:
He's actually SiFe, I'm mostly positive. He's viscous, drifting lethargically, swaying, exerting warm pushes, with a warm smile that goes to the sides. His eyes are not piercing, not penetrative, but instead soft and quite Si, and they lead his head (most visible in the third video). His thought process is also very past-oriented with a focus on familiarity that rambles forward from one memory anchorpoint to another. He's got that "fatherly" vibe that I've felt several other SiFe elicit.
edit: whoops, posted this before your post (@mv ) ...didn't mean to ignore it. <.<
I'm no expert at psychology, nor typology, but to me that sounds like your emotions are negative. When you listen to the music that stimulates your Fi, you are giving off signals that come from your Fi, and it shows in your face as to what your real feelings or intentions are. I'd say this is completely normal, that that if you were listening to music near someone you liked your projection would be more positive.
Another thing it could be is that you are using your Se to listen to music and are thereby using the perception wheel of Se/Ni. Ni gives the kind of "unimpressed" look that a lot of people would most likely be turned off by.
Please note that I am really not sure if what I am saying here is even slightly valid, let alone correct. There could be tons of other reasons; I'm just throwing out some (what seem to be) logical ideas.
Yes, I think that typing people when they are using their unnatural articulation or body language processes is a bad idea. Do you think that the character from the movie itself is Te-lead or TeNi, or another type?
@mv - Not at all! I personally find it fascinating to see into the experience of TeNi. I can even see how this is playing out in your psyche.
Te is a dynamic process, it's proactive conviction/push, but also dispassionate. A bit like TeNi Dr.House from "House MD." who has issues with people too, but is also quite naturally assertive. TeNi, from my understanding of them, are calculated in their thoughts - they analyze reality not too different from how a TiNe would. So one's inefficiency with the social world is seen as a problem/puzzle.
The Fi of a Te-lead is also one of the things I'm most intrigued by (seriously). It's a mystery to me how they can be so externally 'hard' yet they retain a private ethical world that affects their actions almost as much as their rationality. Like how I made note of Te-leads earlier. It'd be curious to learn more about it.
