IMHO the most important type to consider by far in a tritype is the core type, because it's more dominant in the overall personality than the other two fixes. Most core 8s are Thinking types, but the core type in this tritype is e4, which is heavily correlated with Feeling, especially INFx. e5 correlates somewhat with Thinking and heavily with intuition, so overall to me it seems like a 4-5-8 would most likely be an INFx who is strongly N and borderline on F/T. I could also see a 4-5-8 being an INTJ with heavy tertiary Fi. I guess INtP could work too, but I think that is less likely than INTJ because Feeling is an INTP's inferior function and from what I've seen INTJ e4s, though rare, are more common than e4 INTPs.
Just my 2 cents -- this is just based on a mix of speculation and limited observations.
This.
I see both 4 and 5 as N-heavy, 5 a bit more than 4 though. Introverted as well. 458 have a 4 as main type, and 4 is strong about feelings, whereas 5 is more of a thinker, which balances things a little bit. That makes INxx. But 4 still being the core, it's goes a bit more to the feeling side, so INFx. Still, 458 is the most rational tritype of all the 4s, so it's not so much a surprise that some thinkers could relate to this tritype.
