Thank you @Abendrot. I don't know. I feel a strong connection with 4, especially when younger, say before age 40. If 9 is true of me, it is hard-won rather than intrinsic. The external tranquility, though - a bit like a swan gliding seemingly effortless but paddling furiously below the surface. I think my husband's family and culture is 6, and my background more like 5 or 9. Becomes hard to untangle the various influences over time. I read somewhere that one should reply in the way that seemed right when you were under age 25. Is that the general approach? Does finding one's Tritype work on the same principle?Would you be a 964 by the way?
How does one know what fits properly and what is wishful thinking? It's strange, because I know deep down that INFP is right though I'm maybe not typical (several out-of-preference T scores in the Step 2). Which might tend me towards 964 or 946. I relate to the inner sense of division, expecially when in my 20s.Fragmented and intensly whole -
Content and wise and desolate -
Too much trouble to notice, or know.
I'm reading through the rest of the 27 (my brain getting full of too many words!) and now wonder about 259 and 459. Which would mean I'm in the wrong thread and should enquire elsewhere? I could print out the 27 as 'cards' and sort them in order of what feels right... I keep leaving it to one side, hoping that next time when I read the right answer will pop out!

Hmmm.... Core 9 is painfully obvious to me by now, as well as 4 being quite likely, but I have yet to know my head-fix for sure. This tritype really resonates with me, though? A constant doubting of self and others is a thing, though I don't think I am a really dependable person, I fear intimacy and having other people's trust and burdens on me because I feel like I would fail? Would that lead more towards 7? I am not exactly a "positive thinker" though....

964 sp/so here.
Triple doubting fits me well. I doubt others, I doubt ideas, I doubt myself over and over and again and am one of the most indecisive people I know cause of it. It can be my feelings, whether something I did is good or not, what my favorite things are, etc.
I feel like I'm in a conflict with myself. My reactive 4 and 6 are angsty and want to vent, but my 9 makes me casually shove all my feelings inside to avoid drama and vulnerability(SP too I think). So usually I'm optimistic and chill on the outside, but on the inside is a swarm of anxiety. Also, double attachment and 4 feels kind of weird. My 4 wants to have a unique identity, and my 6 and 9 are like, "Meh, I'm just a plain old average gal." My 4 makes me search for my identity, and yet it's hard to find my identity cause I'm go with the flow and interested in so many things. It's hard to slap a label on myself, but I guess I don't need to.
"The 964 is plagued with indecision too and can look like a 6 but they are not as inclined to seek opinions from others. They just avoid the conflict hoping it will resolve itself." That's super me. I'm often swimming in indecision, and yet I don't go to many people when I'm doing so because I feel more secure dealing with things on my own, which is mostly about vulnerability and privacy. My 6 is always worrying about things going wrong, but my 9 saves the day and thinks everything will work out eventually.
The name "Seeker", I don't mind that nickname. I'm someone who has a thirst for knowledge of all kinds, and I wonder who I am a lot, what my place is in the world.⋇⋆✦⋆⋇ "the sparkles are just dandruff"⋇⋆✦⋆⋇

I am pretty confident about having both 4 and 6 in my tritype. In terms of tritype descriptions, I think that 469 might be most fitting; however, I don't particularly relate to 9 as a type all that well on its own or its relationship to anger.
I'm a doubter. Whenever I make decisions, I'm never completely sure whether I've made the right one, which causes me to second-guess myself. I also doubt the reality and any unsaid intentions. Since I'm so uncertain about so many things, I always assume and expect for the worst to happen, and try my best to make preparations.
Am I as much of a doubter as most 469s? I'm not quite sure. I believe I'm quite self-aware regarding what I want and my feelings, even though I tend to make wrong decisions quite often. I'm quite indecisive, but there are certain things I am very decisive and stubborn about in my decisions.
I think that the nickname "Seeker" fits me decently. I seek knowledge, both of myself and of the world, and I seek security. I seek answers to my questions, even if I don't always believe them.Saturnal Snowqueen liked this post
