Sitbone! At long last... I don't think I've ever pitched into the discussion of your type way back when. I'm happy to have a new chance here.
We've sent you a more formal reply via your email, but I'd love to talk about it more here.
With your expressed permission above, I'll also go ahead and insert my reply here:

Overview of 1st Minute
The first thing I notice is your body rhythm. Between 0:00-0:08 your body rocks forward and backward a few times, while your eyes remain either fixed directly at the camera or looking to the sides a few times. The quality of your movements is inertial; moving not through excitation of energy but through a gentle swaying. When your body comes to a natural rest (such as between 0:09-0:14), it does not tense into a firm posture but remains ever ready to drift again, and does so whenever your head looks in a different direction.
Between 0:15-0:30 we see the same pattern repeated; a viscous swaying of the body while the head moves back and forth. To give an example, at 0:22-0:24 your body rocks in a complete circle while your head subtly rattles as it surfs along this movement.
The quality of your eyes is also something worth noting. During this time period they remain very consistent in their quality, varying only in the direction they’re staring, but always having the following appearance:

We see here a rather sleepy look, with the upper eyelid lowered over your eyes and your eyebrows kept somewhat above the eyes and slightly arched up at the edges.
Next, during 0:30-0:38 you get into a new camera position, so we’ll skip over that. But at 0:39-0:44 we begin to see your hands more clearly. You give one or two hand gestures, to demonstrate the perimeter of the camera’s view. As you give these motions, your arms are quick to fall back down to your body, once again confirming a general absence of body-rigidity. And at 0:46-0:59 your body resumes the same rhythm as described above; viscous body swaying, straight and (mostly) unmoving stares forward with occasional drifts to the sides.
Energetic Quadrant: Worldview (Pi-Lead)
From this first minute alone we can see the general pattern of your mannerisms, which also span throughout the rest of your video. Your demeanor demonstrate a clear Worldview (Pi-lead) psychology, summarized by the following signals:
- Fluidity of Body
- Viscous Body Swaying
- Back-and-Forth Head Drifts
- Fixed Gaze
- Subordinate Judgment
(i.e. moments of rigidity happen within the fluidity of your body, as noted during 0:22-0:24)
Your psyche also appears to echo this assessment by having open-ended elaborations to questions, rather than strict definitions. You appear to be describing experiences in an evolving or relative way, rather than as static traits about you. This is true to the ever-morphing psychology of Pi, which seeks understanding but knows that understanding is an ever evolving matter.
Functions Quadrant: Beta (Ni-Se & Fe-Ti)
The quality of your eyes themselves perfectly represent the Ni-Se duality. As seen in the screenshots above, you have very steady eyes that contain the sharpness of Se but the hypnotic/sleepy appearance of Ni. They toggle very minimally, varying their gaze primarily during back-and-forth drifts and during moments of memory recall. Indeed, you actually have very strong Ni prevalence, which overpowers the quality of your other functions and gives your demeanor an almost lag-like suspension in time. This is something we only see in strong Ni use.
Moving past the first minute, your inertia appears to slow down far more, such as during 3:12-3:24 when your body comes to a halt and turns its attention inward. But when you engage in this sort of neutralization, your eyes remain very deeply concentrated on some place in the environment. We see this again at 4:06-4:11 and at 4:16-4:22, where you go into yourself to contemplate the question. And a few seconds later at 4:24-4:28, as we see in the following images:

This internalization/introspection of your attention does not cause your eyes to disengage downward, but instead keeps them open and locked on some unrelated aspect of the environment (Pi>Ji). This pattern likewise persists across the full video. Still, these halts neutralize all emotion from your face, as well as tension, and invite a process of semantical precision. We see this semantical precision in moments such as:
4:38-5:13 “To where I feel (pause) I feel like what I’m expected to (pause) do (pause) and participate in, like, socially and just (pause) like in any context I’m just (pause) I feel like I don’t have enough energy to meet the outside world in the way I’m supposed to”
This is a very telling line, both psychologically and visually. As you struggle to give form to this thought, you display a multitude of pauses, while your voice remains low-volume, dispassionate and almost without energy. What you explain itself also speaks to a psychology weighted down upon by the external expectations (Fe) of the world; things which you do feel/track, even if you can’t live up to them. It would appear that your Ti is also quite involved in your internalization, while your Fe is far less involved.
This also aligns with what you say about feeling like your attention is most deeply focused on your internal experience. You appear to be doubly introverted, with neither Fe nor Se playing out any prominent role. I’d like to also highlight one more, of many, examples where this Ti-Fe duality is expressed.
9:13-9:33 “...say declaratively that something is wrong, and it shouldn’t be done. Because even if I personally feel like it’s wrong, I can’t see that as an objective fact. Like, that always comes with the caveat of it being just my opinion.”
Once again, during the articulation of this phrase there are multiple pauses and neutralizations. Here, the content which you communicate itself places a matter of judgment outside of yourself. You appeal toward the relativity of judgment and the inability of yourself to assert a collective ethos. In this we see Ti’s deconstruction of Fe’s protocols, and appeals toward objectivity.
Analysis Outcome:
This is most certainly your type, although there is some small room to speculate NiTe as your type. In this video, very few signs of Fe were seen, especially for its placement as a your supportive process. Your few smiles did not necessarily display Fe, as I found them a bit ambiguous. But smiles are not the only indicator of its presence.
My estimation would be that the lack of another person/interviewer gave little occasion for your Fe to demonstrate itself, and your very heavy Ti-Ni duality is causing its presence to be obscrured further. But it’s not impossible to imagine that your lack of Fe signals may be due to an absence of Fe, and that your objections to collective ethics may stem from Fi’s individualistic ethics.
We hope this initial analysis was of some use. Thank you so much for your interest in this theory and for your support!
