And apparently I am extremely rare, but I think plenty of INFJs are 4w5 Sx/So for what it's worth. I might just be making that up cuz it feels right though :shrug:

I don't think So/Sx is as unusual for 5s as people make out. I imagine so many 5s struggle to see themselves as Sp-last, mainly because they're still extremely solitary and in need of space.

I think so is about community, and that doesn't have to mean being social; it could for example involve belonging to some exclusive culture.
Being cultured seems to be a way of tapping so, and this doesn't limit itself to being social/talkative/gregarious.

I'm looking at that chart, and looks like very rare is the longest bar by far.

Well, 4w5 sp/sx doesn't seem rare for INFPs...

If I'm right about enneagram, it's ridiculously not-rare for my functions type. But I might need to flip the wing and core. Still, I don't think that would be that weird. I think Ne goes pretty well with the nervous energy of 6/7, to be honest.

I think the problem is I'm not exactly an optimist, but I'm definitely some kind of pain-averse kind-of idealist. I say kind-of, because it's not the 1-ish genuine perfectionistic idealism, it's more like this tendency to think you can get basically everything you want without having to suffer for it if the world isn't stupid/a frustration with when it doesn't go along with this plan.
A feeling that if you knew the answer, you'd not have to grow through suffering, but rather would just get what you desired no questions.

Apparently an INTP 3w4 is rare. Let alone sx/so

More common for ENTx

Oh, I didn't read the post before voting. Whoops?

Also, I would think 2w3 sx/so would be much more common than the others listed.

I only know I'm a self-preservation 4w5, I don't know if I'm more sexual or social.

9w8 sp/sx I think, last time I checked. I think I'd test slightly differently nowadays. Averagely common. I fit in society after all! Yay me!

As far as I know I'm rare being 8w7 sp/sx, but if that ever changes, I'll come back and post again :D

Welp, looks like I'm averagely common as a 7w6 so/sp :hi:

I'm considering 5w6 sp/so most at the moment, so that's averagely common.
