I was very strongly identified as INTJ, but I am having some trouble between eneatype 6w5 (I don't find myself either in the SX or SP subtypes, "SO" certanly impossible) other than that I could be an 6) and 5w6 sx. Thing is that I don't want or have the necessity to stay away from ppl like it seems 5's want, but ppl don't want me near also (I feel like I don't have the easy going, mundane skills). Any toughts or questions (the ones which could differentiate a 5 from a 6) are welcome.

Do you have have difficulty trusting others? Do you have authority issues? Do you catastrophize? Do you tend to be suspicious and anxious? Do you test people in order to gauge their intentions? Are uncertainty and doubt frequent bothers to you?
Do you have have difficulty trusting others? I do trust others, but if anything break that then they go to my blackbook
Do you have authority issues? what does this means? like don't liking people trying to be autoritive over me? please give examples.
Do you catastrophize? I get very anxious when things don't go well, more than most people. it hurts me. but I have disthymia so I don't know if it doesn't come from that.
Do you tend to be suspicious and anxious? I am very anxious and a little bit suspicious, yes. Like I've answered in the first questions. medications help with that.
Do you test people in order to gauge their intentions? I ask a lot of questions. about everything, not just about and to persons. I like information in general. I like to know a little about everything.
Are uncertainty and doubt frequent bothers to you? Please give me some examples because this is not an easy subject, I must define this very well.
thanks.
