So what do you live for, as opposed to being helpful?

well, I do like helping people, but that's not all I live for. I think I live for my own happiness just as much. The description makes it seem like helping others is all 2's live for. Like they'd just be dying to help out someone in need. That is not true for me. I might feel that way about some people but not everyone that I see.

The understanding, I think, is that 2s aren't really all that confident.

Maybe not, but some of the descriptions make it sound that way.


I'll ponder on how to give a more human example.

In the mean time, did you ever read this?

No, but that was really good. According to that comparison, I don't sound like a 9, but more like a 2. However, I don't think I've ever or will ever have the gall to tell someone that they are indebted to me. lol I'm wise enough to know that you can't make people love or appreciate you. If you are feeling unappreciated, then it's probably time to take a break and redirect your focus to yourself a little bit more.

Instinctual Variant Test Results

Instinctual variant theory holds that your instinctual drives can be divided into three forces. The Sexual force drives you to seek closeness, like you would experience in a strong romantic relationship or a close friendship. The Social force drives you to consider the wider community, where you and others stand, what everyone thinks/feels/needs of you and what you think/feel/need of them. The Self Preservation force drives you to maintain individual concerns - security, health, comfort, etc.. Each person will have a different mix of these three variants. Your results suggest the following mix:

Social |||||||||||||||||| 58%
Self Preservation |||||||||||||||||||||||| 78%

I am not sure if i am an SX/SP or SX/SO...

out of the descriptions, the most obvious thing that fits with me is that i have an exhibitionist orientation, i suppose though that my answer to the one about adopting the clothing of your group changes for my moods and social groups... and answering that in the mood for suiting up (or hipping down) would probably drive me towards the social end by a few points...


Sexual |||||||||||||||||||||||| 78%
Social |||||||||||| 34%
Self Preservation |||||||||||| 34%

i guess s SX/SO wins by a margin...

one thing is sure: both my SO and my SP are... exceptionally weak.

The clearest results I've gotten. Usually Sx and So come out almost tied.

thinking about the rest results again....
Sexual |||||||||||||||||||||||| 78%

Self Preservation |||||||||||| 34%

i can't help but thinking "duh" - > i just got out of a marriage, ofcourse many of my most active fears are intimacy related, i'm not used to not having intimacy yet, i haven't being alone in years. but there where definetly other times in my life where my results would have being completely different.

i don't think this test is very telling about a personality at all.

Seems correct

The self perservation went down while social is up. But "intimacy" still does not exist.
