This may even apply to the wings to be not the 9 wing since 1w9s and 8w9s don't seek oneness.

1) The Rectitude Seeker because the reformer sounds too harsh for most 1 FJ women.

2) The Adoration Seeker because most women see themselves as helpers.

3) The Admiration Seeker because anyone can be an achiever.

4) The Identification Seeker because the individualist attracts many mistyped xNFPs.

5) The Aptitude Seeker because the investigator sounds like a 6w5.

6) The Clarity Seeker because there are 6s that aren't loyalists.

7) The Jollification Seeker because all of the positive outlook types are enthusiasts.

8) The Leverage Seeker because there are 8s that aren't challengers.

9) The Oneness Seeker because integrated 6s can be peacemakers.

1. Morality/orderliness seeker

Most people seek morality.

2. Love seeker
No because most women seek to be loved.

3. Value seeker
All the heart types seek value.


5. Competency seeker
All the competency types seek competency.

6. Security seeker
Seeking clarity gets to the point. The reason they seek security is because they are lacking clarity.

7. Fun seeker
Good luck trying to get an ENFP to identify as 7 if you refer to them as fun-seekers. They don't like the overly happy stereotype of 7s.

8. Power seeker
Leverage seeker has more of a ring to it and it covers more bases.

9. Harmony seeker
This sounds more like Fe than 9 when there are plenty of Fi dom 9s.

Good try, but I still see plenty of room for overlap.

These are the type's true motives underneath all these descriptions that add to confusion. People who want success keep thinking they are 3s for example when they are just normal people.

Just gonna put in my two cents, (pun unintended, but enthusiastically leaned into). We should probably figure out the one for our own type, and have others give feedback on it, as we likely have some of the best perspective on it. Here goes.

Type 2 - The Acceptance-Driven Determined Giver

Acceptance-driven, as the 2's need for acceptance and validation (used as synonyms there) are their prime drivers, and also largest downfall. Determined giver because they will generally try to do this through giving to others, and valuing others above themselves, even (and potentially often) to the point where it's unhealthy. And they will pursue their goal to the self-destructive end.

If these were true humanity would be long gone at this point. :cool:
