I’m an SP type 9, but I think I’m closer to a 1 wing than an 8 wing, because I’m more go with the flow, even though by habit I stick to somewhat of a routine.

[@madferalchicken6153]

Ooh, this is interesting. I'm very curious about the SP 9w1 combination, especially about their access to anger or stubbornness. 9w1s would be more patient than 9w8s who can easily channel their anger when they need to. And from the description of SP9s, they would likely have wing 8. I wonder what's the case for SP 9w1s. May I ask if your wing One causes you to be more patient and compliant (for example, whenever you are ordered to do something you don't really want to do, especially if it's something that can mess up your routine), or does the SP instinct affects you more in staying your ground? Does it depend on the situation? Thank you so much.

@@madferalchicken6153 Probably depends on the situation, but I think I’m SP 9w1 and I can be very reluctant to interrupt my routine. I think my 1ishness comes mostly in the form of following rules compulsively and being concerned with morality and doing the right thing. I think 9w8 would be more impulsive and less rigid. Also more extraverted, supposedly.

The SP 9 1 wing describes me very well. I am very patient with my SP 9, 8 wing husband. He controls with anger, I control with quiet resentment. Simply acknowledging our needs with each other has largely resolved this. Thanks for sharing this. Anger is really difficult for me but when it erupts, it’s a great clarifier. Whereas my husband got sort of addicted to the anger because it felt like agency. Feelings are what liberate him.

As a infp 9sx i perfectly know what i want or my opinion,however i will get punished from my friends if i spoke my opinion because it goes against the established order that society prescribes them.and these are my mighty intuitive thinkers friends which are supposed to be open and have different opinions from the establishment.Its like when i express my view it bothers them that i am someone different from what they know about me and i deviate from the "norm".So they pullout the "truth" sword and cut.

Intuitively I think I’m probably a 9, but somehow none of the subtypes seem to really fit me (I’ve definitely a social repressed instinct). If I would be a 9 then probably Sp dominant, because I’m very withdrawn and try to avoid possible demands of others. But I’m not a concrete person, I love introspection, reflecting and analyzing my life, my emotions, my thoughts, learning about psychological theories and so on. That’s actually what I’m busy with most of the time and other people usually say I make things too complicated and analyze too much instead of just doing things. I’m curious if this could also be a strategy of a Sp 9 to avoid being really present and taking action.

same as an enfp sp 9 but i heard in a description that sp 9's can get dreamily distracted in all sorts of stuff so it tracks, watching some romance tv show to aborb their love instead of reaching out yourself or in my case with character ai

Great video! Thank you for sharing!

Can a sx 9 merge with eg a celebrity or fictional character due to parasocial relationship or is it just someone a sx 9 personally knows?

[@liamm.268]

I'd imagine it's someone you know. Keep in mind this is all unconscious and a coping meachanism. Merging with a real person is a better (unconscious) strategy to get along with people and create no waves.

Why noone mentions that sx 9s can merge with animals tho?

I'm an isfp 9 sx and now i like someone esfj 9 so

[@froboy2120]

I think im sp 9 but i don't relate to being conflict avoidant (ive read that about 9s)
