    I took an on-line test before I knew anything about the test or what it was measuring, and got sx/so as a result. I had no idea what it meant at the time, so I couldn't subconsciously skew the results to make it come out one way or the other.

    If I look at the three instincts as being ways to find safety in the world, with sx types finding safely through a few deep relationships, so through belonging to a group or having an extended friends network, and sp as having a lot of stuff to provide security or having a certain amount of money in the bank, then I am definitely sx/so. I most need a few good friends whom I can count on, then an extended friend network for getting things done, and I don't care much about having stuff. I have stuff, but I really don't care about it. I could throw it all out tomorrow and I'd be fine, so long as I can keep a credit card, a driver's license (or passport, depending on where I am), and the contact list on my phone. Stuff won't save your ass when you get into trouble, but good friends will.

    With respect to one example that confirmed that I am sx-first, when I divorced my wife, I started researching factors which might have caused the breakup, and started looking for someone who will be more permanent. She, on the other hand, went out and bought a $1200 vacuum cleaner and says she is not looking at all. Guess which instinct is first for her?
