Here in UK its difficult to get tested to see if you`re TH1 or TH2 dominant. I think there is one lab but it costs about £300. So, couldn`t you take a good guess by the types of reactions you have, i.e. if you`re TH1 dominant wouldn`t you suffer from more inflammatory type things and if you`re TH2 dominant you`d react with allergies and sensitivites? I have Hashimoto`s Disease and have an overload of TPOabs which I guess must be dominated by TH1s. Does this make sense?
Most people are fine with either UNLESS they are autoimmune. AI patients will be Th1 or Th2 dominant. The Th17 system is often ramped up as well - especially in the microglial system in the brain. The Th17 may be ramped up even if there is NO antigen present. A hyper-Th1 response for a seemingly distant problem can fire a Th17 response in the brain that can remain dominant long after the Th1 response has quieted. Bottom line - get checked ...
Where can I view that list of TH1 and TH2 stimulants? Can`t find it on your website.

th1 linked to MS, RA, + diabetes,
th2 linked to atrophy an allergy, hypersensitivity 2 and 3 diseases
hence, autoimmunigenicity is not only Ab mediated against self AGs

Aren't most people fine with either as long as they have the proper precursor (IL-4, IL-12)?
What about TH17?
