Okay, here's my reasoning for being reluctant to consider type Two. One of the reasons I identify with several types is because I fall into their various "traps": the isolation/avarice of the Five, the paralyzing self-criticism of the One, the "What if?"s of the Six, the avoidance of the Nine. However, while I pine for love sometimes, I never quite fall into the "You never do anything for me... Here, have some cookies!" trap of the Two - I don't give that easily, sometimes I'm pretty oblivious to others when I'm in a funk, despite refraining from complaining or being too snarky. What do you think?
Also, a friend of mine suggested I might be so/sx or sx/so... Does anyone see me as sp-dom?
Hmmm. That's kind of a pickle... While I often don't have a lot of confidence in my own opinions, I have a degree of "Not so fast!"-ness when people try to pressure me into doing things.
For example, there was this party I went to when I was about thirteen, I think... My mother had promised me no one would force me to dance before dropping me off, but, as soon as I got into the room, the DJ announced someone had arrived and the guests tried to literally drag me to the dance floor. I resisted and fled their clutches. End result: I spent the whole night in a lonely corner, staring outside the window, until it was time to go home.
Bottom line: I can be a bit doormattish at times, but I'm not always passive. You bite me too hard, I can bite back. Or at least plant a bear trap in your pillow. ...Or, most likely, just sulk and feel bitter.

You're welcome 6's can easily be quiet, shy, and 'the smart kid' in school; what seperates them from 5 is where they derive their sense of strength; 5's look inward to themselves for autonomy, valuing knowledge and self efficiency to become more adept in the world; 6's look outward for a group, system, or any other social body or construct that can offer them both security and trust.
