I'm torn between 3w2 and 7w6 for my primary type. I know that 8w7 is the third component of my tritype and I've probably made far too many "help me!" threads on various sites over the years. I think my biggest confusion comes from the fact that my fears and worries (ineptitude, failure, not being the best, not being successful) are far more 3-like. However, my overall personality is remarkably goofy and silly, very much a comedienne who absolutely adores making others laugh and often being a bit shameless. I know when to turn on the charm and I'm excellent at it, but on the default I'm very wacky and offbeat. Typical E3s are far less tactless and blunt and goofy than I am, but typical E7s are far less image-conscious and terrified of being second best than I am.
I guess my question is, can 3s be as extroverted and kooky as I am? And can 7s fear ineptitude and think only of their self-worth all day? Which seems likelier -- the underlying fears making me a 3, or the physical and outward manifestation of goofiness making me a 7?
If it helps, I've leaned towards 3 in the past -- but I test for them about an equal amount and I think overall I'm pretty damn equal.
