I think that it would be better to develop system that each of these 6 ways of doing things has it's Sync flow and Contra flow variant.

I like the range theory better, but I always do argue that synflow/contraflow theory has some validity to it.
I find that oftentimes, the so-called contraflow types have a more pronounced dominant variant and a less pronounced secondary variant, while the so-called synflow types have more balanced variants.
The descriptions of contraflow having to be "misanthropic" or whatever is a lot of bullshit. I think contraflow just means that the variants should have more of a push/pull, naturally.
I'm sure that I am synflow since my variants work in tandem, but I do not at all relate to descriptions of being "compelled toward people."

I've never been a fan of the syn/contra flow theory and have argued that the differentiation is more based on health levels than actual stackings. Nonetheless, I have met a lot of people (who are not myself) who depict the theory very well, so it might be a statistical trend rather than a definite thing. I personally cannot relate to the thought of my instincts working together, especially well nor am I compelled towards people/naturally fitting.
