Hey guys,
I've been thinking about involving some people in a group discussion about the Sx-instinct. Y'all know there're still misconceptions out there but first-hand experience is always the best. There's an understanding within Enneagram that perhaps even one's "centers" (head, gut, heart) can have diff. "instinctual" dispositions but usually one only indicates 1 enneatype and then the instinct. Say, my case Sx/Sp 1. So I'd like to know if any of you have encountered a non-Sx of the same enneatype (e.g. So/Sp 1) and if you're able to relate the difference.
For instance, I joined a group about activism. We had shared values about in what the world should be changed but I always lagged behind the group and they were superior in knowing the news, the latest corruption scandals, keeping in touch with other activist groups, etc. I was more focused on reforming individuals one by one, instead of thinking ahead to do crowd protests.
Additionally, if you can discern another trait of yours that is still influenced by your Sx and see if you can tell the difference between another one has it without. In my case Sp/Sx 6: me being an out-of-the-box thinker, aware of an authority but prioritize my own assessment instead. Wanting to have my own community instead of clinging to an already existing one, as an So/Sp 6 would. (Or not) What do you think?
