probably I'm wrong there, but that's why I'm asking - to figure out how to judge this stuff and discern stackings

I have pics of a few of those people, but I feel like sharing them in a forum without their knowledge would be a breech of their privacy, so we'll have just the written descriptions to go by here

but if there are more questions that could help discern things more than what I had provided - I'll try to answer them to the best of my knowledge
most of my family is sp first and there is no preoccupation with morbidity that i've noticed in any of them, which is why i said that these don't seem to be related. likewise sex drive seems to be mostly physiological in its origin.

the way i go about figuring out stackings is to try to remember everything that the person has said and done, generalize it into three categories and balance those out in my mind to see how they line up, but this approach is probably too Ni specific since intuition makes it easy generalize discrete behaviors like this.

for additional questions what would you say is the biggest motivation behind the everyday actions of each of these people and how does this motivation align with the instincts? i find it to be very telling to figure out what is the primary need that they are trying to support, which is the 1st instinct, while how they go about it would be the secondary one. with photos: you can also pm me and i'll try to line them up with the instinct composites that Galen has made. it's up to you, if you feel like it's still a breach of privacy then that's fine too.

i would have said so/sp for this quote: it's acquisition of goods (sp) to support social status (so) or some other interests. typically people "juggle around" their secondary instinct to support of their first one, and this quote illustrates that kind of secondary flexibility in the sphere of sp. the first instinct is kind of rigid in nature in comparison to the second one, like a deep seated constant need that needs to be supported.
