Hi, Snickie.
I think I'm a 514, so I'll give it a go.
With 5 and 4, I see the 9 as adding a softer, more passive quality. Probably more empathy and also a harder time staying clear and focused. Probably also a harder time knowing your own stance on things. The 9 combines with the 4 to bring about these fairly non-5 qualities.
And I see the 1 as adding a more earnest and sharper/clearer quality. Any emotionality is probably more like passionate perspectives than moodiness and empathy. Probably more attention to craftsmanship and quality-control. The 1 combines with the 5 to bring about more drive to get things done.
Well, that's a first stab at it. Let me know what resonates and what doesn't.
What does resonate:
9 passivity, though I suppose that could vary by the user's definition
9 struggling to form my own stance on issues - I see both sides of many issues.
Ex: Even though I am officially registered with a certain political party (my state has closed primaries so this is a thing) I can see the appeal of the other and the turn-offs of my own.
Ex: I'm looking into buying a house soon, I've toured several places and none of them really stand out to me as a whole. If I were to assign point values to the individual things I liked and disliked about each place, I think the comparative totals would be inordinately close to each other. I have to have a decision by Monday. Ugh. XD
9 lack of focus - I'm a huge procrastinator. It takes a lot to mobilize me. Inertia, you know? When I'm not mobilized, I struggle with focus. Furthermore, I have no idea what I want to do with my life, though I can give you a well-articulated list of things I
don't want to do. :roll:
1 sharper quality as related mostly to craftsmanship and quality-control. I am an artist even though I don't relate to the F types (artistry as you know is usually strongly associated with ISFP: also apparently T types don't care about art?). I hand drew my junior recital poster. I took a perspective shot of my two clarinets, slapped a grid on it, and painstakingly inked every detail onto a piece of paper (which I also gridded) with a black Sharpie. Not to brag, but it is a bloody awesome drawing. I'd post it as evidence but it contains identifying information.
Whichever one I am, I know the other one is its wing.
I get the feeling that 1 is correlated more with strong Je types, particularly Te when aligned with 5, than with strong Ji users.
Thanks for your input.
