sx/sp
sp/soc:The most straightfoward in language, with relatively little trills and embellishments. Points made directly and from personal experience. Business-like. Clear. Cynical. Lacking in internal experience compared to other stackings.

sp/sx:Comes out as somewhat heavy and gloomy, or cool and detached. Often gives out a suffocating and insular vibe, as if their internal world is wrapped around by an impermeable membrane. Strong sensory impressions designed to awake sexuality. Makes one want to linger on one or two lines forever.

soc/sp:Tangential. Lots of details and analysis. Very in-their-head and intellectual, and lacks sensuality. Comes across as level-headed and unspontaneous, but also with personal warmth. Their written works often require a great deal of mental concentration from the readers.

soc/sx:The word "fantastical" comes to mind. Lots of virtuosity and trills, and often removed from the real world. One is whirled away by the dazzling fairies of their colorful imagination. Can be too rich in imagery for their own good. Sustained dramatic power due to their knowledge of interpersonal dynamics.

sx/sp:Intense, often a stab-in-the-chest sensation, leaving me in tears without knowing why. Fantastical but much more concentrated in a few inner images. Can be abstract, animating dead objects into their field of contemplation. Embodiment of another human, thing, or idea is common in their writings.

sx/soc:My impression of their writing is "fire-and-ice", as if one is to experience the extremes of heat and coldness at the same time. Often abstract, spilling one inner vision after another like a dream-sequence. Seems particularly in touch with the core meaning of life and death.

ahh yeah, I read this originally on the enneagram institute forum, I think it's correct for the sx/so stacking.

I feel like I've written in every single one of these styles. Depends on what I'm writing and who my first person narrator is. Although I'd say primarily sp followed by either.

sxsp is more fire and ice than sx soc... sx soc has that social 2nd to buffer out some rudeness.

I would agree, well when healthy... when not so healthy you get Arthur Schopenhauer (I'm exaggerating somewhat) but yeah full on misanthropy, but I find that's common with the sx/so and so/sx stacking when not where they should be.

Lol, someone can easily use that social second (or first) to their advantage.

It is sort of like how you get firebrands like Glenn Beck or Palin. To the reactionaries, they are like fire, they are there to help. To others, they are like ice, they would only worsen things for everyone. You sort of get this feeling that they are passionate as fire. But at the same time, if you aren't with them, they can seem like ice.

These descriptions seem crazy (and all kinds of other -azy) to me. No idea which I am, and no idea what other people are based on this.

That makes sense, I guess you have to know their stacking then see if it lines up with this? I'd like to see some proper descriptions for the stackings, all I've ever read is individual descriptions of each variant.
