Disclaimer: English is not my first language, this post is terribly written. Additionally, I am new to the site, which also plays into it.
A few years ago, there was no doubt I was a 5w4 sp. I still identify as such. For reference, I'm also an INTP-T. However, after taking various tests recently, it does not seem as clear. I got 9>5>7>4 in one, 5 in another one that did not take wings into account, 5>9>4, 5>4>6, 5sp>4so>6sp>9sx... anyway, I believe the trend does seem rather clear.
I would normally not look that much into this and trust my own judgement, but I decided to this time. Now, it might seem as if this whole post was unrelated to the actual question, but let me explain:
Over these last two years, I started experiencing depersonalization and derealization quite frequently. To clarify, it did not rise to a pathological level. It started out during a really short depressive episode and for some reason it stayed after it was over. I cannot explain this myself, and it probably doesn't make much sense.
The thing is, seeing how nine was one of the top types in two tests, and how I identified with some aspects of it, I have given it s bit of weight. Nine never showed at the top for me, I could even venture to say that I remember it being almost the last before. Repression seems like a top theme for these type, and repression also seems to be the defense mechanism I use the most. Nines tend to dissociate, or so I have read, although I lack knowledge.
Given that tendency, I wondered whether it also works the other way around, whether being dissociated gives me some traits associated with nines. I also wondered how did I get to that point in the first place, and how my actual personality played into it. I wondered which aspects can result in dissociation for each type, and which types are the most prone to it, apart from nines.
Thus the question. Has anyone noticed any trends in regards to this? Can anyone think of an explanation? Am I mistyping myself? What are your views on the whole thing?
