I get completely focused on what I am doing in a project or who I am talking to - and I am not even seeing other things at ALL, or I am effortlessly completely ignoring distractions after a glance because my focus on the thing at hand requires it. And I like the zen-feeling I have being completely absorbed in the thing I am absorbed in. Or focusing on the one person, for that matter. I consider a social event to have been a "good" one, and rewarding/fulfilling, only if I have had a chance for 1:1 conversations, and a few of these is great - where I am completely focusing on one person, even if lots of other people are around us at the time -- we are in a timeless bubble for the conversation. And the occasion is one I consider unrewarding and disappointing if there has been none of that. I always then feel the time has been more "real" because I have truly gotten to know someone better - a bit of who they really are. That focus and that preference when socializing is pretty much always true of me. So I'm asking: In your opinion, does that alone put me into the "Creative" group??
What you are describing here could be attributed to your sx-first stack; you require the 1:1 connection or the intense stimulation and merge with it. The question is: when you are having the 1:1 connection, and someone comes around you or interrupt you, do you tend to assertively stop them (as they are disturbing your connection) or you don't notice them at all or their presence doesn't affect you? A Dominant sx/so would need that intense 1:1 connection that you talked about, but in social environments, when they are merged with someone, they are going to do so in a very pushy manner, for e.g., they might directly stop other people disturbing them, or they would intentionally make flattering comments around people about that connection as if they are deliberately trying to "acquire" it. I am telling you based on personal experience, Dominants sx/so tend to be very extreme, pushy and attention seeker. I know one Creative ILI sx/so who is very flaky in social environments, but once he merge with the connection, he just keeps talking and sharing whatever information he knows, like he once found a guy at gym who proved to have an interest in "Game of Thrones" series (he was Creative too), so they both kept talking about it and why the latest season sucks, etc. and seemed to completely forget what they were doing previously (i.e., a certain exercise), and when I tried to force them, they didn't listen to me at all, perhaps they didn't even notice me or what I said to them. You sound Creative to me, especially that "I am not even seeing other things at ALL" and "we are in a timeless bubble for the conversation" part, but I won't rule out Dominant.
