re: 8398
These are pretty good arguments, and bring forth a lot to learn. I do vote him 531, and would consider him more J than P too, so it's obviously a case of misinformation in terms of the subtypes for me, something I'm newer at. Though I would consider myself relatively newer to Socionics itself too.

As for the point regarding your own statement. "I really don't think he had Ignoring Ni, I believe POLR Se fits better than Fi, that he was more about possibilities within logical system than outside of them (most of his ideas were even internal, and the most important one in my opinion would be the alternating current - but then that could fit demonstrative Te better than ignoring Te but the way Tesla himself saw it makes me believe ignoring - was more about a logical possibility within a quite well defined system and at the time it seemed useless (Thomas Edison, LSE with an extreme use of Te and his view on it with a general extreme lack of Ni while Tesla would probably fit 4D)." This is what I took into account. By 'conflict', the conflict of their methods was meant. 4D Ni vs 1D Ni for one, as well as that of latter's preference of Te, which is why he managed to accomplish a lot, unlike the former, who didn't care as much about his patents being capitalised by others.

Also I didn't associate eccentricity with being in tune with one's bodily sensations or having an organised ethic. Though I did correlate the latter two. And the mention of eccentricity was a counter-argument against the stereotype of eccentric people being more Ni/Ne base.

The points of him valuing conscientiousness over openness ultimately do suggest Ti over Ne. Thanks for the additional detail too, of which I did know a little bunch.

Why LII-Ne works much better than ILE:

Too in-tune with his body and sensations to have 1D Si. Despite being very eccentric he had a strong work ethic, and followed routinely exercises. Plus his creativity was motivated, to a degree, by his inner imaginations and abstractions, which wouldn't make sense for ignoring Ni either. On the other end, as pointed out earlier by phsc, ignoring Te makes much more sense, especially if his conflict with Edison is taken into account. And not only was their conflict dependent on Tesla's ignoring Te and Edison's Te base, but also on the former's 4D/demonstrative Ni, and the latter's 1D/PoLR Ni. Tesla had a great overview of the potential itself, and had vivid assumptions.

And of course his Ne was almost as good as that of Ne bases, but he was still more of an analytical learner, and a greatly organised mind who wanted to perfect his craft in the few fields that he studied deeply, he also didn't have the Ne base attribute of starting more projects than finishing either, let's compare him to Elon Musk for one, who clearly has demonstrative Te alongside too, and is someone who starts way too many, unrelated projects. Comparatively, Tesla's goals and aims were much more focused and singular.

That aside, his heightened sensing and attention to physical detail is reminiscent of mobilizing Si, and it's obvious that Tesla didn't thrive in drama and enjoyment much either, comparatively, which reduces the chances of ILE further. His ideas focused way too much on the possibilities regarding a logical system, and were highly principle-based, which fits PoLR Se much more. An ILE would have much more variety in terms of where they construct their ideas, Tesla didn't, and was obsessed with a few of the things' principles (alternating current for one).
