    What type do you think you are?
    Why do you think you are that type?
    Do you consider enneagram important?
    Do you think instinctual stackings help the enneagram?

    The reason I ask is because you seem (?ed?) to have an issue with my vote on the poll. I explained my reasons for it: You seem fairly certain that you are sp first which is reasonable, however sp/sx is a lone wolf character, you don't strike me as having that sort of behaviour. A clear sp/sx typing is a fairly easy combination to spot; I tend to come under a soft sp/sx which can make me appear as sx/sp to those who I am close to.

    Sp/sx was traditionally defined in typewatch as an 'ascetic' type being focused on self discipline. Sx/sp almost as 'seductive' - shows emotion then withdraws.

    How we used to define Sp/so was one of material and societal security and tended to be self moderating rather than extreme in sticking to ideas or paradigms. They tend to enjoy being benefactors in providing the needs of those around them in work and in their personal life.

    sp/soc

    This type is generally private and reserved, and especially serious and practical minded in their focus to gain material security and in making useful connections that support their goals. When they do form a connection, loyalty is very important to them and they will not hesitate to end a relationship on grounds of disloyalty. This type may lack a certain degree of interpersonal warmth which can give the impression of coldness or disinterest in others, even a sense of selfishness. May be drawn to groups that attract like minded individuals, as in business clubs or volunteer organizations where a shared professional culture can facilitate social bonds. They tend to live conservatively and dress in an inconspicuously appropriate fashion befitting their status in life. May have a characteristically blunt and direct style of communication that can take others some getting used to. They are particularly strong in matters of commitment and sacrifice, and enjoy being the benefactors in assisting society's practical needs.

    sp/sx

    These people often have an earthy, mysterious quality to them. They are quietly intense, but to others may seem oblivious to the greater social world around them, instead favoring personal interests. They are slow to commit, but once they do it is with an attitude of life commitment, to the establishment of an impermeable bond. Others can be taken aback by how suddenly and completely this type can lock into them, and by the depth of understanding of the other's condition. They attach to others at an organic, root level, in contrast to the other subvariant's surface formality. Somewhat hesitant to enter new relationships, they instead preserve the select few enduring bonds they carefully form along the way. The sanctuary of home is of paramount concern, and this type takes particular delight in decorating their spaces to reflect their cherished sense of taste and depth. Depth and discrimination characterize this stacking.


    The other comment would be that you seem to reject any references to common definitions under the guise of 'don't like it'; which is fine; but you haven't provided your own viewpoint or 'acceptable' terms of reference. How do we reach a understanding of the problem without drawing on a baseline reference point?
