Instinctual Variant Test

Quote:

---

In Enneagram theory, there are three drives, or "instincts" that are key to our survival needs. Some say that they are so deep that they penetrate into our unconscious, dictating our very desires. Each person has a "stacking." This test assesses your dominant instinct. Your second highest result will be your second instinct. For instance, you may be a self-preservation dominant with the sexual instinct as your second result. Then, you would be a sp/sx.

No matter how you view the instincts, it's always fun to take personality tests!
Sincerely,
-The test creator (a so/sx)

Well, this was interesting.

60%Sexual (sx) Your dominant instinctual variant is likely sexual. The sx instinct searches for intimacy, and is focused on intense connections. An sx-dominant fears incompleteness, loss of connection, or lack of desirability. They may be intense, playful, or impulsive. They feel that they need a strong bond or "other half" in order to get along in life. The sx instinct should not be confused with the physical act of sex or sexual desire itself.

20%Self-preservation (sp) Your dominant instinctual variant is likely self-preservation. The sp instinct searches for survival, and is focused on itself and its world. An sp-dominant person fears not surviving, and may be fearful of poverty, annihilation, or mortality. They're usually grounded, serious, and stable. They may feel that they must make it on their own in order to survive.

20%Social (so) Your dominant instinctual variant is likely social. The so instinct searches for community and belonging in the greater world. An so-dominant fears loneliness, alienation, or inferiority. They may be personable, cooperative, or superficial. They feel that they need a sense of belonging in order to get along in life.

73% Social
27% Self Preservation
0% Sexual

The only thing I don't understand about being Social is that it's either about belonging to a group OR making change outside yourself, ...the latter is far too foreign to me. People I know are far more important than larger communities and pop culture. Ofc I choose to be oblivious to any groups that have bad influences on me, so it's not like I don't see what trends are talked about I just get sick of them

Gave up after three questions, was too easy to see through to be worth it :indifferent2:

87% sp
13% sx
0% so

Well I'm not too surprised by my results. The test was pretty straightforward to my liking.

80%Sexual (sx) Your dominant instinctual variant is likely sexual. The sx instinct searches for intimacy, and is focused on intense connections. An sx-dominant fears incompleteness, loss of connection, or lack of desirability. They may be intense, playful, or impulsive. They feel that they need a strong bond or "other half" in order to get along in life. The sx instinct should not be confused with the physical act of sex or sexual desire itself.

20%Social (so) Your dominant instinctual variant is likely social. The so instinct searches for community and belonging in the greater world. An so-dominant fears loneliness, alienation, or inferiority. They may be personable, cooperative, or superficial. They feel that they need a sense of belonging in order to get along in life.

0%Self-preservation (sp) Your dominant instinctual variant is likely self-preservation. The sp instinct searches for survival, and is focused on itself and its world. An sp-dominant person fears not surviving, and may be fearful of poverty, annihilation, or mortality. They're usually grounded, serious, and stable. They may feel that they must make it on their own in order to survive.

67% sx
27% sp
7% so

I suspected I was a sexual variant, but I wasn't completely sure. I was primarily torn between sexual and self-preservation (social is pretty much non-existent for me), but sexual seemed to be a little more accurate. I can be very self-centered and individualistic at times like an sp variant, but my neglect of basic health/hygiene and physical well-being as well as my disinterest in living a safe life seemed very unlike self-preservation.

67% sp, 33% sx, 0% so

Sounds about right.

87% sx

13% so

0% sp

Their descriptions of Sx though:( Intimidating, fierce,too intense. ?

47%Social (so)

Your dominant instinctual variant is likely social. The so instinct searches for community and belonging in the greater world. An so-dominant fears loneliness, alienation, or inferiority. They may be personable, cooperative, or superficial. They feel that they need a sense of belonging in order to get along in life.*

33%Self-preservation (sp)

Your dominant instinctual variant is likely self-preservation. The sp instinct searches for survival, and is focused on itself and its world. An sp-dominant person fears not surviving, and may be fearful of poverty, annihilation, or mortality. They're usually grounded, serious, and stable. They may feel that they must make it on their own in order to survive.

20%Sexual (sx)

Your dominant instinctual variant is likely sexual. The sx instinct searches for intimacy, and is focused on intense connections. An sx-dominant fears incompleteness, loss of connection, or lack of desirability. They may be intense, playful, or impulsive. They feel that they need a strong bond or "other half" in order to get along in life. The sx instinct should not be confused with the physical act of sex or sexual desire itself.*

Honestly, more I think about it more so/sp seems to fit, no matter how much I don't like it. I am only focused on sp concerns when I have to, but it is not something I am as concerned with. But if I am shown any sign of belonging I get so utterly happy and hyped up and giddy, it is ridiculous. (Also the sense of always feeling I don't truly belong a group and that others are closer than I am to them is something I really get nervous about if I let myself into a group in the first place...

:thinking:

Social (so): 87%
Sexual (sx): 13%
Self-preservation (sp): 0%

Not surprised about the stacking order, though I'd say my SX and SP can be 'stronger' than that (depending on circumstance).

The test seems to be pretty good at determining the stacking order for most. :thumbsup:

Well this seems like a pretty accurate quiz. It got me questioning my stack, too.

Huh :o Have you ever tried posting a thread to let people type you on here?

Attachment 16221

Okay

SX : 60
SP : 40
SO : 0

I got so first; sp and sx tied. I think I'm so/sp because I'm an outcast due to disliking society. I'm antisocial (not the disorder). I have longed for one person to be with but the dream is dead and hate filled the void. Society and social trends are stupid imo, involving people pretending and the insincerity grates on me. But I too pretend to go along with it to survive. So my resentment grows for I feel forced to be insincere which is the deepest sin to my being, what will evoke the most self-hatred. But there is no other way because I will not survive otherwise. I despise the world for requiring such a trade-off. I hate collectivism even as it forces my compliance, because it forces my compliance or threatens death. The word "community" disgusts me.

60% SX
33% SP
7% SO

Simple test, but matches pretty well what I'd figured out myself from the descriptions.

It was more of a joke but the instincts probably aren’t evenly distributed within each type.

40 sx
33 so
27 sp

Sx: 50
So: 43
Sp: 7

Still typing Sx first in these things, although it's close. I even went back and answered some of the questions differently since I'm often torn on the Social vs Sexual questions. The Sexual score was even higher the second time. I've always resonated strongly with issues around both.

I'm a little surprised Sp isn't higher since I've really worked on that consciously for the past 5 years. But the shortness of the test didn't allow for much nuance.

Many of the questions didn't have an accurate or strongly preferred answer among the given options; I kind of had to choose more or less at random, so I doubt the accuracy of this test.

My result:

I tried to answer as if I don't know what the instincts are..

Sx 53% > Sp 27% > So 20%

this time, lol. Maybe after comparing myself to others made my lack spness come out. I'm probably quite intense in non traditional ways. I'm literally skipping lunches and having unbalanced diet. I don't even care to have coffee with others and so on.

67% Self-preservation (sp) Your dominant instinctual variant is likely self-preservation. The sp instinct searches for survival, and is focused on itself and its world. An sp-dominant person fears not surviving, and may be fearful of poverty, annihilation, or mortality. They're usually grounded, serious, and stable. They may feel that they must make it on their own in order to survive.

27% Social (so) Your dominant instinctual variant is likely social. The so instinct searches for community and belonging in the greater world. An so-dominant fears loneliness, alienation, or inferiority. They may be personable, cooperative, or superficial. They feel that they need a sense of belonging in order to get along in life.

7% Sexual (sx) Your dominant instinctual variant is likely sexual. The sx instinct searches for intimacy, and is focused on intense connections. An sx-dominant fears incompleteness, loss of connection, or lack of desirability. They may be intense, playful, or impulsive. They feel that they need a strong bond or "other half" in order to get along in life. The sx instinct should not be confused with the physical act of sex or sexual desire itself.

I misread the situation then, it came off as serious when I initially read it.

Retook the test and got 87% sp, 7% sx and 7% so.

100% Sx

67% sx
33% sp
0% so

93% Sx
7% So
0% Sp

That could be right. I'm not sure of my 2nd instinct. If Sx/Sx were an option, I'd take it tbh
