Can you provide some insight?

I feel that we have to completely re-think these conventions. I no longer feel that there is any reason to doubt the validity of a so-called 5w8. Your primary behavior is to be passive/evasive, but next to that , you prefer Active/Aggressive. Similarly, your primary value of feeling is to be Detached, but that secondarily gives way to being Temperamental.
So, 5, then 8. That's my assumption anyway. This can't be known for sure until a test was designed uniquely for this theory. My over all point is that you shouldn't feel restricted to focusing on Six or Four. I'm currently working out some theories regarding relations to auxilliary type and supporting type models, but their still in the oven, I'm afraid.
