1) What is your type (5w4 or 5w6) and instinctual variant, and how positive are you that your variant is accurate?
5w4 sx/sp. I'm not confident about my instinct variation. It explains my relationships, but in truth sx/so fits as well. It's even stevens at this point.
2) How would you describe your overall focus when alone versus in social situations?
3) How would you describe your interaction style when in a group?
I'm a great observer of people dynamics. How people interact, mannerisms etc. Only when I'm extremely comfortable, do I come to life, and I can be center of attention. I tend to have a bit of dramatic flair, and well you guys probably get a sense of my type of humour on this site. It doesn't happen often. I mostly stay in the shadows, and bide my time. My closer friends and I tend to "hold court" off to the side of proceedings though, and I can be quite verbal then, but I quite often stay quiet at the side watching.
People either describe me as intensely shy, or very outgoing. Nothing in between.
4) How would you describe your interaction style in one-on-one situations?
I'm very intense. I'm usually observing though, unless it's a good friend. Always analysing, picking something apart, asking questions. Very close friends get treated to my verbal diarrhea, and some of my inner thoughts. If it's some one I'm interested in, I can come across quite detached, and disinterested, and then if I trust them enough I will open up and show them my special world. Very few men to date have survived that. Mostly because I think they expect a very laid back person, and I'm not the person they thought I was.
5) How well does this
description of your variant fit you?
The issues of barriers and boundries is a common theme in my life. Most of my relationships end because some boundry of mine was crossed, or they went to a place (emotionally) without my permission. Actually I've ended friendships for the same reason.
6) How did you decide on your variant? Was there anything that gave it away, or else made you change your mind from what you previously thought it was?
