Lebron as an INFP 4w5 is just surreal.
haha i know. i'll try to tackle the challenge.
here's an example video interview.
i don't really see a head type energy, don't really see a 7. to me that eliminates Se or Ne dom. i see experience-first Pe types as being 7s, or in the case of Fe-wielding etp types, 3s as well. i think it makes a lot more sense to see him as a heart triad type, or more particularly a 4w5. his voice has kind of a 5 dry flatness. 3 has a little more prosody. at the same time there is some warmth. to me, he's clearly a feeler type.
i see a bit of bounciness in his overall motions in the interview, especially his head as he's talking; his proprioception seems less steady Se. i also don't see 7w8, which would be more grounding in that sense as well, with 8 having a stronger connection to the body, a more grounded presence. i don't see 7w6 either, because i don't see the spontaneity or flow or just raw openness of that type. his overall presence doesn't really strike me as, oh, that's an extrovert. when he's talking, he seems like he's pretty drawn into an interior space. introverts often have a different kind of gravity, a little more searching, it's just not as practiced, not as many reps, not quite as organized to respond on the outside.
the eye movements don't seem Se to me as much as Ne because they too have a kind of bouncy quality, not as fixed images, not as clearly defined between reconstruction and retrieval.
he has more of an so/sp feel, very considerate, not really very direct. doesn't dress in an sx way at all.
if you contrast him with isfp 4w3 so/sx d-wade, you see differences. dress is more muted, voice isn't as mellifluous, doesn't have the same flow, isn't as fully present all the way to the skin, as steady in space, and just much more heady overall. he also doesn't really speak about issues in the same way. there's a bit more shown warmth, but he doesn't seem like he's thought through what he thinks about what is right in the same way that lebron has. it's so much more instinctive and less deliberate, considered. in contrast to isfp 9w8 sp/sx bosh, there's much much more self-awareness, the underlying energy is more heart-centered.
lebron's moves, i think, are just pretty good. he's not as great of a social actor, but his overall plans for development show a pretty compelling vision. he seems to handle himself as well as almost any celebrity, and generally he seems to have some good ideas and try to have a positive impact. he seems more sincere than most celebrities or social leaders as well, not wildly impulsive, and pretty willing to take on responsibility, even when it's not exactly fair in terms of hos he's judged. i just think he responded with so much emotional intelligence after the heat's first defeat. i also think you saw the e4 at that point, like you sometimes see with wade, the blame and disdain, but i also think it's generally a bit muted by the so/sp ness. an sx heightens that so much.
i also see basketball things. when people talked about lebron vs dwade as the closer, i think dwade is just a bit more responsive in the moment. he's Se. he's a bit more reactive. he has a bit more immediate feel for movement. lebron is more heady. he has a mastery of understanding, which leads to different strengths. he knows his teammates games as well as anyone, better than anyone except for maybe steve nash and tim duncan (ntps). he's more crafty in developing new skills over the course of his career, for instance, when almost NO player in history has changed his game to such a degree. his understanding and ability to connect the dots allowed his super weird team to play relatively positionless basketball. contrast that with kobe, and you just see an ability to harmonize the team at all times, to get the math right so you don't fucking take low percentage hero ball shots all the damn time and needlessly waste effort and focus. and to get it right for the whole team, who, despite a lot of talent, has some pretty big obstacles as well (interior defense, rebounding, wade's issues when his poor outside shooting and knee troubles collide, etc).
