    ok, so I'll have a go at additional descriptions:

    guess at instinct 1: sp
    guess at instinct 2: sx

    additional comment:
    This is someone who said that would rather spend their life alone without any commitment than being in a relationship where they have to make too many sacrifices. Loyalty of other people is very important to this person. It's someone difficult to get to know well.

I think this person needs to be liked. But this person reports needing other people as long as they are of use and uses their connections many times for this person's own benefit. At the same time I've seen this person act seemingly selfless - sometimes it was selfless and sometimes there was a well-hidden personal motivation that kept this person's interests in line with the interests of the person that was receiving the help. Doesn't like taking risks.
    guess at instinct 1: so (or sx)
    guess at instinct 2: sx (or so)

    additional comment:
    This is someone who can be very helpful to other people, especially as long as believes in their good intentions (and can sacrifice for other people) but at the same time this is a person that has a "switch" into the "now only I matter" mode.
    also, there is some more info quite imprtant in typing of this person in the post above on the idealism in close relationships and attitude to "goods". It's someone seemingly open but difficult to know well on emotional level - very secretive.

    additional comment:
    This one is difficult for me to figure out, cause I can see past the shallow behaviour and don't know which instinct is which. This person admits that is troubled with trust issues and is trying to change and warned their current partner of this (more in this post). It's someone seemingly open but difficult to know well on emotional level - very secretive.

    guess at instinct 1: sp
    guess at instinct 2: sx

    additional comment:
    This is someone who decided to change the course of life to be able to be financially independent and provide for their partner and be with the partner. It's someone seemingly open but difficult to know well on emotional level.

    guess at instinct 1: sx
    guess at instinct 2: sp (or so)

    additional comment:
    This is someone who went to great lengths to get close to smn in a relationship and who treats love as the most important thing in life, willing to sacrifice a lot for it. It's also someone who wants to be liked "as is" and doesn't glue well with groups, isn't accommodating towards the group, but gets more flexible for people who matter to this person. It is someone who likes people as humanity, but says that doesn't need to spend time with them in order for it to be so. Tries to fit into groups sometimes out of necessity, but finds this awkward and prefers one on one interaction. It's someone difficult to get to know well.

    example of art preferences in this post (although this might not necessarily matter from what I've understood by now)
    I still have trouble discerning what "so" is supposed to mean depending on the position in stacking... I've noticed I wrote all of these people are difficult to get to know on emotional level - I guess I like a challenge
