Am I the only 6w5 here?

[Mercurial]

Just curious.

Oops, I transposed where 'yes' and 'no' were supposed to go.

To any op that sees this: Please delete the thread.

What makes you think that you are 6w5? From everything that I have read, generally this type correlates with a strong sensing preference (Si phobic/Se counter-phobic) and/or strong Te/Fe. Helen Palmer says that:
Observers and Loyal Skeptics look alike because as wings of each other and head center types they share some of the same personality traits. Both can be analytical, reflective, thoughtful, hesitant to take action and retracted (especially the more phobic Six).

They differ in that Observers detach from or dampen their feelings, compartmentalize circumstances and usually delay their responses, while Loyal Skeptics react immediately to circumstances, often intensely and with fear, and they magnify the danger of the circumstances they are reacting to.Riso & Hudson:
Fives and Sixes are both Thinking types and, when educated, can both be quite intellectual. It is far more common for Sixes to mistype as Fives, but for some easily understood reasons. Of the two types, Sixes tend to be more linear and analytical in their thinking because they are interested in troubleshooting, in prediction, and in establishing methods that can be repeated.

Fives are much more non-linear in their thinking. They are interested in finding out where established theories break down and in developing iconoclastic ideas that shake up structures and established methods. Fives are, generally speaking, bolder than Sixes in their positions and creativity, but also far less practical. Fives feel that they can only trust their own minds to come to conclusions–they believe that everyone else is likely to be less well-informed. Sixes get frantic trying to find something to trust precisely because they do not trust their own minds to come to meaningful conclusions.

Uhh sure--and reset it.

I just voted. I really like 6w5s in the healthy ranges but not so much if the person happens to be in the lower levels of health/counterphobic. I've noticed that makes it really tough to get along. I'm a 4w5...

I've been known to score 6w5 occasionally, but mostly 5w4 followed by 5w6.

I've tested five times as a 6w5, and two times as a 5w4 over the last couple years. I'm guessing that I was a 5w4 before going through too much regular trauma which effectively conditioned me into a 6w5 for many years. Perhaps I'm starting to reemerge since making the shift to being counter-phobic in most of the kinds of situations that used to terrify me.

Perhaps I'm starting to reemerge since making the shift to being counter-phobic in most of the kinds of situations that used to terrify me.Thomas Condon (http://www.thechangeworks.com/ennprimer/ennprimer.html) offers some good descriptions of types and wings. Here is his description of 5w6 and 6w5:
The 6 wing brings an orientation to detail and technical knowledge, along with the tendency to think in logical sequence. Especially intellectual, far more analytical than Fives with a 4 wing. Can be loyal friends, offering strong behind-the-scenes support. Kind, patient teachers, skillful experts. May have a sense of mission and work hard.

Sometimes project an aura of sensitive nerdiness and have clumsy social skills. When defensive, they can be unnerved by the expectations of others. May like people more but avoid them more. Especially sensitive to social indebtedness. Could have trouble saying "thank you." Fear of taking action, develop "information addiction" instead. Ask lots of questions but don't get around to the decision at hand.

When more entranced, they develop a suspicious scrutiny of other people's motives but can also be blind followers. Misanthropic and Scrooge-like when defensive. More able to keep their feelings cut off in a constant way. Can be cold, skeptical, ironic, and disassociated.

A Five's 6 wing can be phobic or counterphobic. Counterphobic 6 wing brings courage and antiauthoritarian attitudes. When defensive they may mock authority, or angrily tell others off. Tend to "push the envelope," experiment, find what the limits are.
Sixes with a 5 wing are generally introverted and somewhat intellectual. When healthy, they often have many realms of interest as well as surprising competencies and skills. May have an original and idiosyncratic point of view. Can be bookish; some are interested in history or feel rooted in the past or related to a long tradition. Also good at predicting the future. May test potential friends for a long time but once you're in, you're in - a friend for life.

When more entranced, they may project a willed remoteness. Have a "tip of the iceberg" quality - they show little but you sense hidden dimensions, intensity and activity. Tension between needing to be seen and withdrawing for protection. Might act arrogant or cryptic or cynical when afraid.

When phobic, can be diplomatic and say things without saying them. Entranced counterphobics are either cool and loners or argumentative, tending towards violence. Can brood over injustices to them, entertain conspiracy theories, spend time alone building cases. Paranoia in private. May like secretive behind-the-scenes group activity. Sneaky vengeance, passive/aggressive toward others, self-attacking and self-destructive at home.

Thanks for the link and descriptions.

I increasingly feel like a gray area...

Thanks for the link and descriptions.

I increasingly feel like a gray area...That's quite typical for an E6. Some enthusiasts consider 3,6 and 9 to correlate with all MBTI types. However some have narrowed down the correlations to 3=EJ, 6=ALL MBTI TYPES and 9=IP.

Have you guys seen the correlations (http://9types.com/rheti/corr.html) page. It's interesting to see how original your correlation is.

I am type 4, romantic, but my 2nd highest is type 3 motivator.
That makes me a 4w3, which is a rarer correlation.
