Ignore the naysayers, you're probably not core Reactive/Pessimistic (there may be 8 in there) and you're certainly not 6 or 9.

Core 3 or 7.

The heart type is generally what puzzles me most, probably because I avoid that kind of stuff.

I would definitely prefer being admired and respected. I enjoy love and all, I'm an sx first type after all, but I really don't care if people love me or not. I get more hurt if I'm openly disrespected (this happened to me like a week ago when a kid in my class was yelling at me in front of the whole class - in front of them I just argued back but then I privately went off somewhere alone and cried about it, lol). I kind of see myself being star material and good at networking like a 3, I can't really relate to anything about 2 except for maybe sx 2 descriptions when I'm crazy for someone. I would relate to heart types in this order: 3 > 4 > 2.

But I think sx/so as a stack lends to 3-like and some 4-like behavior, like so/sx would be mostly 3-like and some 2-like behavior.

Yes, that's 3 though, instincts aside.

"Question approach | being liked versus being respected

What is more important to you, being liked by others or being respected by them?

Listen for this
Type 2 | 2s will almost always say being liked, and there is rarely a pause when they say this. On occasion, an older 2 may say something like he or she has spent a lot of time and energy over the years to be liked, and now, he or she would prefer to be respected. This response still fits the type 2 profile.

Type 3 | 3s will almost always say respect. In fact, many 3s don’t care so much whether others like them unless they have the belief that others won’t give respect unless they also like someone. In other words, being liked is a prerequisite to being respected. Some 3s will have to think about this question a while – that is, they may not give a fast answer – but they end up choosing respect." (via Ginger Lapid-Bodga, here)

I think youre core 7 (as I have said). I think youre 4-fixed. because youre very reactive at times (4+8 combo) , and you seem prone to sadness even though 7. You have some softness which 4 brings imo, as opposed to if it was 3 it would be more anti-softness and more masculine energy.
