What type of Se is this?

Discussion

I do think this is either creative or lead Se, what do you guys think

He is often the leader, loving the ability to push others into action. He is able to destroy hierarchies and create new values to influence people. His main focus is influencing other people's thoughts and worldviews. He has full confidence in his ability to influence others and can even try to help others gain more confidence, willpower, etc

In groups, he often automatically assumes the leadership position, often telling others what to do, how to do it, etc.

But his weakness is over-logical people who overfocuses on accuracy and nitpicks details, he pins himself down as one of those people, but once he is met with those people, he often suppresses intellectualism because of his insecurity in it. He does not look for logical people, mainly because he pushes himself to be as logical as he can on his own. Usually, when he gets challenged (logically) and he's aware that he cannot win, he often uses his power to flip the entire situation around.

He often belittles the thoughts of logical people and pins them down as evil people. He does value the idea of being logical, but because of his insecurity of it, he denies it from his environment in order to protect himself from envy of not being logical enough.

Real life example of being compared to ESE: Sometimes, he can trick T suggestives (like ESE) into thinking that he is their duel, since he puts up a front as a very logical person. (In which, he actually is surprisingly), he would often help T suggestives with things regarding logic, but once the T suggestive asks more about the function, he freezes in insecurity. Unlike the ESE, he does not accept being inferior in logic. (As the nature of the suggestive function has a tendency to accept inferiority), he only accepts being inferior in his ability to perceive things intuitively, in which he has a tendency to show admiration in others who have the ability to disregard reality and concrete proof in favor for premonitions, visions, hunches, etc.
