I second that. May have Sx on the 6 - that coy/demure look of drawing one in with the allure of mystery, where's actually none but a labyrinth of red herrings. I'd say So/Sx 6 ; Sx-firsts are rather seekers.
A social 6 is probably one of the weirder typing suggestions I've ever gotten.
The social 6 is highly concerned with identifying authority figures of the group, as well as the established rules of the group. They are the poster child for duty.
I am the least dutiful person I know, to the point where I am conscious of my desire to not serve/follow/be responsible for others. I don't want others to rely on me, and I don't want to rely on others, but I also secretly crave being somewhat spoiled in terms of day-to-day basic needs (I like having a partner who enjoys cooking, cleaning, and constantly reminding me to do shit I forget to do).

Oh, I remember you. Connecting that photo with the ones I've recently commented on, I'd say you may be right about not being So/Sx 6; however, I got the impression of So/Sx also from the avatar you had at that time. It was a godly hand jilling off a cosmic vagina. Now that's more playful and brazen, than the overall grittiness/sombre/sinister/survivalist nature associated to Sx/Sp. I've also noticed that you regularly change avatars - it suggests an image concern towards possible spectators. Add to that the selfie that reproduced the currently popular "thighs POV shot" and your 4w5 appears to have Social/conformist qualities.

- so firsts have wide and friendly eyes
- sp firsts have alert eyes
- sx firsts have smoldering eyes.
Depending on the second instinct the intensity of what I have mentioned above changes. Like sx/so have smoldering eyes but softened by the social friendliness or whatever. If it makes sense.
Umm I'm not sure if my response to senza seemed super final or something but I'm getting reps which is cool but no one has to feel like they can't respond in-thread to me. The images...
Hmmm...my impressions (let's get ready for some prejudice!):
Men
-------
sp/so - passive, perhaps insecure, "nice", slightly sad/wistful/dreamy
sx/sp - again, the most sultry, a bit disdainful or into himself
so/sx - again, warmest, but here a little more "fake" and strained than the woman
so/sp - more sincere & relaxed warmth, but also more contained and calm, more alert than sp/so
sp/sx - stereotypical "man of few words", looks contained/unaffected, "blank"
sx/so - slightly smug and a tad vain, mix of tentative and confident
Instinct variants are becoming the most fascinating part of typology for me at the moment. They really seem to operate at a lower level than cognitive functions, more subconscious and more primal. That's why they are called instincts, right?
Once I read about every link I could find and had an epiphany moment (Ni + Ti + Si) it suddenly became crystal clear to me that I am a SP/SO, the most common type. I may still question my Enneagram type and MBTI type and I am now very certain about my instinct variant stacking. I only wonder if a 6w7 sp/so ENFP is that common, but I think overall we are common enough. I have always felt I am pretty mainstream, never an outcast irl. The girl next door.
And it is amazing how when I look at the SX/SO compositions especially the man (the woman has her lips and teeth blurred therefore hard to say) I immediately get a strong sense of distrust. That's the type of men I stay away from, and I have no doubt they find me boring and stuck up, plus a slew of other things. Totally objective, of course!
I have always said many times I am one of those fortunate girls who just naturally like "nice guys" and now I can see what I call "nice guys" are fellow SP/SO's, just like me. No wonder! In fact, I will go as far as saying compatibility in instinct variants may very well play a bigger part in relationships than Enneatypes or MB types.
My hubby is a SP/SO, text book ISTJ, 136, not sure about the order. He seems pretty balanced between 1 with a strong 9 wing, 3 and 6.
To fellow SP/SO girls (assuming you are typed correctly), listen to this happily married woman, SP/SO is probably where it's at for you!
From this I appear like a variation of the sx/sp and so/sx. When I smile though, I tend to have the toothy grin after being told countless times to smile with my teeth showing from my sp/so mother. I try to downplay it now though because I hate it.
a quick comparison to those would land me on sp/sx (as opposed to sx/sp i consider myself to be)... i can see how a face in motion might be limitedly useful for typing, but a still frame seems like a waste...
post script:
i do think i was sp/sx in the past... maybe my face settled into that as default "neutral"... even more likely, this is a load of shit...
I don't think I look like any of the composites with so in their stack though. They all seem like they're facing outward in some way and at the most, open. I think I look like I'm facing inward in some way and closed. There is none of that soft, taking the harsh edge off things for the people aspect to my face imo. And it must be pretty potent since I have soft and conventionally vulnerable looking features (large eyes, button nose, rounded face, etc) that should lend themselves most naturally to soft, open expressions. That is, somehow it overrides those things. I think that must be the external tell that my brain is inside this body, my expressions.
Of course, my psychology has taken on a markedly heavier tinge beginning at 20 years old which I can't dismiss.
I think I look sp/sx at rest. I have a pretty focused stare but I wouldn't say it's intense enough for sx/sp.

To me...it really doesn’t get much more sx/sp than this stare. You don’t have the “I’m charming as fuck and am coming to devour you†sx/so infinity stare...but it’s not the “am I looking at you or am I not? can’t really tell can you...†what am I doing sp/sx stare.
Everything about this image is a lie because I am old and crusty and self-conscious. Also, my eyebrows are super drawn on.
Did you ever hear that story about Peter not being an image type whose sense of worth is determined by her perception of how others perceive her? It doesn't end well because the storyteller fucking sucks.
I've had .5 too many drinks and my self-deprecating jokes are getting out of hand, so I bid you adieu and leave you with (believe it or not) the one photo that made it out of a cut of like 20. I tried smiling and I looked super 12 years old and didn't like it, so this is what you get.
Don't comfort or compliment me, just gimme your instinctual guesses.
P.S. Do I look super Ni, or am I just too wined right now to know better? (was not wined at time of photo)

I'd have guessed sx/sp. sp due to the guarded feel I'm getting from it, but sx first because the intensity still wins out.
Probably why you look Ni, what with Ni having piercing eyes.

And according to Kierva's post I'd be so/sp or sp/so. Wide, friendly, alert eyes.
