Hello TypoC! I haven't been active here for a while but my interest in type has been renewed and I've decided to come back. After a lot of brutally honest reflection and also input from close friends, I've determined I'm a 6w7. Pretty much certain of that now. Heart fix is most likely 2w3. I'm trying to do less "type me" threads and just trust my own judgement with things but I am truly stumped on figuring out my gut fix (last in the tritype). I feel like I'm all of them, and simultaneously none of them.
Here's what I do/don't identify with for each gut type.
Type 8
Type 9
Type 1
Here's what I do/don't identify with for each gut type.
Type 8
-Several people close to me have said I have authority issues. This is probably coming from my 6 core but I often feel like I cannot comply with rules I find silly and often find ways to rebel.
-Being controlled sickens me; I'm very independent and anything that humiliates or strips me of pride makes me become very bitter (example: had to be handcuffed and I got very confrontational with the officer)
-I can get extremely stubborn and will do what it takes to get my way
-My anger can be scarily explosive; I have a lot of trouble controlling it (but subsequent guilt after lashing out)
-Friends describe me as fiery, feisty, protective, bold, "saying what others are too scared to say"
-I do NOT fear vulnerability, in fact at times I have been too vulnerable
-While I struggle with authority, I also crave a good, fair authority figure that I get along with because I get anxious when I have to be in charge
-In many situations of conflict I break down and cry; I have trouble "taking the heat"
-I want to please and get anxious when conflict causes interpersonal unrest

Type 9
-I am happiest when there is no conflict
-I seek inner peace, and I often meditate/engage in spiritual practices to achieve this
-As a young child I was described as a peacemaker and very easygoing--the good little girl
-As an adult people say I am "chill" upon first impression (before they get to know my fiery/angry side)
-I may act tough/bold but when it starts getting out of hand I back down and get anxious, it's not my natural, relaxed state
-When stressed about obligations I often try to close my eyes and pretend they don't exist, or just put them off while I continue to get even more anxious
-In groups I try to find common ground and may soften the delivery of my strong opinions to avoid being disliked
-I am NOT passive or unassertive; if I want something I will go after it and I'm naturally good at self-advocacy
-I'm not afraid to dive deep into things that make me uncomfortable
-Admittedly I can actually enjoy/be energized by certain types of conflict and drama
-Once again I have been described as fiery, bold, and explosive/expressive with anger which I don't think are 9 traits

Type 1
-Can be preoccupied with bad vs good, fairness vs unfairness
-Extremely self-critical, I'm truly my own harshest bully
-I have a STRONG sense of justice and devote myself to advocacy in every way I can
-Much of my anger is "righteous anger" concerning my chosen causes and I have trouble just letting people think differently
-I'm becoming a social worker because I need to advocate for the underprivileged and do something about injustice because I feel powerless
-I see so much wrong with society and easily get cynical and angry because of the injustice
-I've been told I'm too opinionated and pushy about my convictions
-A lot of trouble with bitterness, resentment, and letting things go in general; I'll ruminate for months
-I'm very idealistic and am striving to actualize my vision of a better world
-Can often fall into black-and-white thinking, or assuming that my views are ultimate truth
-Often don't do things (ex. cheating on tests when I know I won't be caught) because it goes against my principles and I would feel bad about it for months
-I can struggle with laziness/lack of discipline (although this may be due to my ADHD)
-I often lose control of my anger and emotions--I'm not self-controlled at all
-I am impulsive and speak/act without thinking
-I usually choose fun/relaxation over hard work; I am not a workaholic at all and I usually do the bare minimum
