I didn't see this test anywhere, sorry if it already got posted.

Probably one of the better instinct tests I've taken. Got me down at least.

SX/SP

Motivation:
to live in a secure, comfortable environment where they can pursue their private interests in depth.

These people often have an earthy, mysterious quality to them. They are quietly intense, but to others may seem oblivious to the greater social world around them, instead favoring personal interests. They are slow to commit, but once they do it is with an attitude of life commitment, to the establishment of an impermeable bond. Others can be taken aback by how suddenly and completely this type can lock into them, and by the depth of understanding of the other’s condition. They attach to others at an organic, root level, in contrast to the other subvariant’s surface formality. Somewhat hesitant to enter new relationships, they instead preserve the select few enduring bonds they carefully form along the way. The sanctuary of home is of paramount concern, and this type takes particular delight in decorating their spaces to reflect their cherished sense of taste and depth. Depth and discrimination characterize this stacking.

Expression: wistful self-absorbed expression, sighing, magic is in their head
Energy: calm, steady energy expressed intensely, withdrawing
Behavior: withdrawn, calm, wistful and self absorbed
Mindset: “I can have merging/intensity without having to leave my orderly & pleasing lifestyle.” (imagination, safe people and relationships, when the safety of these are challenged they withdraw)
Blind Spot: Likely to neglect their desire to seek intense connections and experiences for the sake of their primary concern of maintaining physical safety, comfort, and an orderly lifestyle, in average-healthy levels. May not have an awareness of the need to connect in a broader sense with the world, of a sense of security or in groups or of the need to seek it, or even of the need to foster approval, support, and understanding of themselves within groups they are connected with, often causing misunderstandings with allies, supporters, friends, and family members.

I think it places too much emphasis on sx aggression, so it may not be as accurate for 9s or 5s. But I got sx/sp (first time I took it a few days ago, I got sp/sx).

Motivation:
to create lasting connections with those they are interested in - the “best friend.”

This type has very strong one to one social skills, but is usually uncomfortable in group settings. They enjoy cultivating multiple relationships, and can be intensely involved when in the presence of someone they are interested in, but have difficulty sustaining these bonds when apart. This may give the impression of being flighty and rootless, willing to adapt and mirror others in order to connect, but lacking a defined approach that would give their relationships a more solid standing. They may have political interests, but are generally more pragmatic and less partisan than the other social variant. They are often attuned to pop culture and the latest trends.

Expression: bright smiley, intense expression
Energy: outward energy expressed intensely, broadly
Behavior: bright, smiley, erratic and scattered
Mindset: “If I can get close to people with merging/intensity, I can make sure of and keep improving my position and inclusion in the group/world.”
Blind Spot: Likely to neglect their desire to seek intense connections and experiences for the sake of their primary concern of building their sense of personal value, accomplishment, and security of place with others, in average-healthy levels. May not have an awareness of the body’s need for food or sleep, or of the need to accumulate wealth for reasons of security, or of the need to manage time or resources to establish an orderly lifestyle.

Your Score: 106

That all seems fair, especially for where I am in life right now. I feel pretty jaded after getting burned (short-term or long-term) repeatedly and just don't even feel like trying anymore. Unless it is developing organically, just investing in individuals or organizations never seems to work out for me.

But I really related to the comment about being slow to commit, but doing it is often an impermeable bond and life commitment.

I thought the same thing about sx being portrayed as more aggressive here. I think that's why I scored highly on it since sx 4 and 6 is pretty reactive. On other instinctual variant test, I don't score as highly on sx because it focuses more on merging. I think there could be more of a balanced portrayal of sx on these tests.

Likewise for soc. It also focuses a lot more on the 'ladder climbing', give and take, transactional aspects than the relational ones. soc 3 would easily score high here. The rest, especially the withdrawns, not so much. This test feels like an E--J made it. Actually, now that I think of it, this test would be off the mark for the withdrawns in general... Anyway.

Interesting observation. I didn't look too much into the soc questions. I could see how the test would be inaccurate for withdrawn types, though. Especially non sx-4s (it was fine for me).

Motivation:
to impact others, question assumptions, challenge convention.

This is the type that exudes the most raw charisma and sexual energy. They may identify so strongly with whatever they’re involved with that they often become the symbol of its core essence, and sometimes its lead agent for change. Hardly content with the status quo, this sub-variant seeks to alter the fundamental structure of something while at once embodying it’s purest or most extreme form. Possibly attracted to radical views on politics, philosophy, spirituality or creativity that reflect their penchant for testing boundaries. They enjoy pushing other’s buttons, especially those resistant to their modes of expression. It’s not uncommon for them to have a pet social, political or spiritual cause which they’re able to support with heartfelt conviction. May exploit and seek to redefine sexuality to reflect their own colorful and uncertain understanding of it. While prone to exhibitionism, they are strongly attracted to grounding influences which can anchor them and provide stability. Failure to satisfy an especially intense desire for connection may cause this sub-variant to spite others at the risk of jeopardizing the need for an equal, stabilizing force. Can feel pulled between wanting a life of maximum intensity and reassuring episodes of peaceful convention.

Expression: intense, outer-focused
Energy: intense energy expressed outwards, assertively
Behavior: intense, assertive, sultry and aggressive
Mindset: “If I can maintain position and inclusion in the group/world, I can keep up and escalate all this merging/intensity.”
Blind Spot: Likely to neglect their desire to build their sense of personal value, accomplishment, and security of place with others for the sake of their primary concern of seeking intense connections and experiences, in average-healthy levels. May not have an awareness of the body’s need for food or sleep, or of the need to accumulate wealth for reasons of security, or of the need to manage time or resources to establish an orderly lifestyle.
