    Hi, my name is relicquery and I'm a sp/so. I know I'm not a sp/sx because I care more about securing my legacy than I do about attracting my soulmate. I'm not good with intensity. In fact, it scares me. I may be socially awkward, but I am at least aware of the fact that I don't fit in, and I try to work around it. If I was sp/sx, I think I would probably not care about how socially retarded I am.

    I am self-contained. People don't usually know what's going on inside me. I try to keep a polite exterior (though this fails when I'm overwhelmed). I think if I was sp/sx, I would not come across as dry and courteous. I might seem as moody as I feel.

    If I was sp/sx, I would not spend all my energy trying to stabilize my life. I would spend more of it on things I like to do. Things I really want to do. If I was sp/sx, I might be able to act on my impulses. As sp/so, I often have to fight to not squash my impulses as they arise.

    Sometimes communication is difficult because I don't know what I ought to say. I think if I was sp/sx, I would not care about what I ought to say. I might not freeze up trying to think of the "right" answer.

    As a sp/so, I want to tread lightly and not be noticed much. I think if I was sp/sx, I would be more inclined to shake things up and make a fuss. (Sp/so does not like fusses.)

    Right now, I am making this post because I want to help the general knowledge available about the category of people within the "sp/so" label. I think if I was sp/sx, I might be making this post in order to express myself and have an impact on someone.
    Is this a useful contribution to this thread? Maybe not, but it frames a lot of my thoughts regarding sp/sx and sp/so.

    By contrast sp/sx is very much a whimsical, impulsive and reactively confrontational/agreeable depending on their interpretation of the the current situation: but always socially blunt.

    I also fail to generate any sort of idea of an enneagram 9 with sp/sx; probably because I'm a dumbass.

    The enneagram 9 is described as being both anxious of discord and therefore settles with maintaining a peaceful environment as opposed to 'shaking things up'. I'm sure there is a enneagram 9 sp/sx description somewhere; but since the theory is basically 'here's some nice archetypes' I wouldn't assume there is an even distribution of types nor of instinctual stackings vs type.

    There is another comment regarding distribution: Who is to say a person cannot maintain a reasonably balanced secondary instinctual stacking somewhere between sp/sx and sp/so or almost exactly between.

    If that is true then only the type descriptions for 'general sp' would be applicable.

    Therefore I think for now I'm content with
