Good: good at controlling situations and problems


Bad: is much more natural in starting scientific or geopolitical debates than do something that is dating related. Just about everyone in RL thinks I am too serious.

In addition to my original answer, I would add that when I am struggling excessively for a long time and know that I need to snap out of it, I don't really know how to reach out to or engage others. I also feel that I shouldn't do so directly because in my healthier times, I probably unintentionally neglected nurturing social connections, and so if I do so out of need for myself, it will seem inconsiderate and selfish, even though that's not how I intend it to be.

I really don't mind my type overall though when things are going smoothly and my needs are relatively met. I wouldn't trade anything in my type profile to have the social instinct higher, even though I realize that it's a weak muscle I should engage more.
