Since I started watching him last year I've been sure he was a 3w2 lead, so much so that I've been wanting to use him to ilustrate the difference between 3w2 and Two. But very recently and much to my surprise, I've been starting to consider he may be a Six, and this video rubs it in. I'm sure of his fixes: 3w2, 6w7 and 9w8, with sw's probably 4w3, 7w8 and 1w9; and of his stacking: [so/sx] (though not sure if midstream or SX). But I'm no longer sure of what leads. I will try to show later why I was so sure he was a Three; for now I just want to explain why I'm thinking Six. I don't think that a Three lead, of at least average health which he clearly is, not even one at Six--as stress point--with Six, is going to be that overtly ambivalent, that us/them (me/you) polarizing, show that much 'double vision' and victim playing/blaming (not that his grievances aren't legitimate, it's the style), be that petulant, and basically sound totally like a Six L5 Ambivalent Pessimist dropping to L6 Authoritarian Rebel with L7 Overreactive Dependent thrown in. I guess there's no reason why a Three at Six with Six couldn't stress to Six that way; I'm just not feeling it.
Reading through the comments, it became clear that Viktor Larkhill had succeeded in polarizing his audience. Most of them remained loyal, even became more loyal in showing him support in his time of weakness. But some of them rebelled--you went too far, Viktor, you went too far. This is the kind of rallying/loss of support average Sixes engineer, not Threes?

This is part of why I thought, and probably still think, he's a 3w2. @7'13" to end. Seems pretty clear heart type, but seems subtly vanity > pride. btw he's like this a lot.

He has to be a Three. There he was talking graphically about the horrors of water on the brain and eventual death, and then he asks for donations and then this happens frrom 7'24" to 7'36". Talk about perfect mirroring (Three), the Charmer (3w2), and a great ease with seductive Deceit. No situation is too terrible not to smile and turn on the charm when he's asking for money. I guess Three at stress point Six with Six really does go that Six. And why not? Makes sense. I have just never seen anyone I typed as Three act like that before. I wonder what his health level is. I wanna say L3, the level of social value, Outstanding Paragon, but he definitely went into Authoritarian Rebel when he didn't get the money he needed for that cat, and that is Level Six and the range is normally two above and two below the COG. So I will say L4, the level of imbalance/social role, The Competitive Status Seeker. Which makes sense considering how overproduced and 'impressive' his videos had to be until recently (which I will show) and considering the subtle but palpable insincerity to this laying on the charm. Ah, well. Threes seem healthier than they are.

Another reason I've always thought Viktor Larkhill is a Three is that in his animal rescue videos the camera work, editing, lighting, music are so masterful. They go far beyond any other animal rescue videos I've seen in their prowess, far beyond what they have to. This is particularly obvious in the section on the dog Rio in the video below, especially the parts in the operating room. But all of it, really. It's like watching an actual film conceived as a work of art. Of course any E-type can make a work of art but the thing is in animal rescue they don't. Viktor does. His animal rescue videos have to bethe best.
Rio section starts at 28'58" and goes on until the end (almost an hour). You can flip through it, and don't worry, he's not the dog with the ticks. It does baffle me that Viktor chose not to make Rio the headline of the video but imo the Rio section has Three "outstanding paragon" all over it. As do most of the Larkhill rescue videos but this one really highlights the trend.

Victor Larkhill tells us that he has to raise $70,000 to pay vet bills, which is ostensibly why this may be his last video, while mentioning at 5'06" a new rescue dog "Nicky, whom you will see very soon". This is really being at home with Deceit.
Also, at 3'07" to 4'16" he explains why he is a failure--failure being E3's basic fear.

@6'21" "You see, this shelter, this rescue center, represents...represents my work, represents my life mission. It had to be perfect. It couldn't be...it couldn't be any other way. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night if I was running a horrible place. I'm not saying that normal shelters are horrible places..." Oh, no. Not me.
What a Three.
And he can't stop throughout alternately praising Takis, the Greek shelter owner, to the skies and dragging his name through the mud. Viktor would not run a "concentration camp for animals". Oh, no. Not Viktor. The reflexivity of the Deceit and the ingrainedness of the competitiveness are still so apparent in Viktor that his health level seems no higher than L4 Competitive Status Seeker, regardless of all the good he does.
And well, L4 is quite high as health levels go.
