Apparently, this is my type, and I wish to know what it means. Any and all help is very much appreciated.

I know very little about this subject, and I couldn't find an explanation for the full sp/sx/so variant.

All links, books, your description, etc., are welcome!

Also, from what I understand, it goes something like this:

social variant - desire to connect with people (5's are naturally introverted, however, so I doubt that a 5 "so" would be extremely outgoing - they're still 5's), but they derive pleasure/value from having good working and social relationships with people, etc, etc, blah, blah.

sexual/intimate variant - desire to connect with individuals on a more intense level. With the few individuals who they are close to and have developed a trust with, they open up fully and hold nothing back. Very intense on the rare occasions that they do open up.

self preservation variant - desire to protect oneself from outer stimuli. They desire a large amount of space, independence, and privacy and are concerned with making sure they have all of their basic needs met: food, shelter, etc. Basically, they are protective of their own time, energy, inner worlds, and resources.
