Is there some reason why sx-doms would be more drawn to the Enneagram and/or internet forums than average, or sx-lasts would be less so? It seems that, not only are Sx-doms particularly common in the online typology community, but the sp-doms tend to be sp/sx, and the so-doms tend to be so/sx, so sx-lasts tend to be quite rare on forums like this. I would've thought typology forums would be more appealing to so-doms, for the sense of community, opportunity to observe group dynamics, and because typology itself is a way of finding out where we belong in the human race. For Sps, it's an activity that can be done alone, autonomously, and the introspection offers an opportunity to focus on yourself. I suppose the spiritual side of the Enneagram would be particularly appealing to sx-doms, but I'm not sure how strong the correlation is between sx and spirituality. Also, it's entirely possible to take in interest in the Enneagram because of its psychological insights, without getting involved in the spiritual side, and that reason doesn't strike me as more powerful than the reasons I listed for the other variants, so I don't think that entirely explains it. I suppose mistyping could be part of it; the fact that sx is sometimes called the "intimate" or "one to one" instinct is misleading, but again, sx-first and sx-second types are so prevalent that I doubt the majority are mistyped. Any thoughts?
