7 sounds about right. :yes: 6 fit a little too - I definitely get like that when I'm trying to figure out how to do something, where to go, what to do, etc.

I have a 3w2 best friend and while the first part seems right none of the second part does. Perhaps being ENFJ with a 2 wing softens that part.

This is making me wonder if my other friend is 7w8 instead of 8w7. :thinking: I'm sure it's nothing that serious, but it got me thinking about other things.

I thought of talking about how 2 and 9 related to me but I realized it's gonna be 7 accounting for stuff that may not fit. I can see how they'd change my "flavor" of 7 though.

The one for 9's is so true, I think :) and I love the description of 4's speaking style. :D

Call me 5w6. Actually, feel free to refer to me as the Head Center.

I really like these. Concise, clear, and as reasonably accurate as I could imagine something this condensed being. The neutral adjectives vs. "others may perceive" is useful.

I appreciate "engaging and information-oriented" for 6. Those are significant positive elements in 6 interaction style that I think get overlooked in descriptions sometimes.

Yeah, I guess 4 and 5 are equally true for me.
Especially:
4 - overly expressive, unsatisfied with responses, and emotionally intense.
5 - wordy, and dislike of small talk.

My father is such a 5, he has small talk figured out though.

Hah - yeah, my wing is definitely a 6, not a 4.
