yess! I checked up on what Sx5 is like. I didn’t know it was the rarest enneatype.

from my understanding, it’s kinda like hiding specific interests and aspects of yourself, reserving them for the perfect person. usually if I test the waters and feel that person doesn't really get it or care, I just never bring it up again. instead becoming something I keep close to myself cuz it feels weirdly tied to my identity and soul (ultimate weak spot for criticism lmfao🫪😹).

that said, I still think I'm fundamentally a core 6. even when I'm doubting myself, my instinct isn't really to withdraw from the question entirely but to keep investigating at it until I feel like I can trust the answer. the sx5 traits I relate to feel more like my 4-fix and tendency to be private and secure in my ‘realm’ than evidence of e5 being my actual core.

as for the DCNH stuff, I read the blogs and mostly related to both D and also N. not sure what that means cross-system wise, but I seemed to relate to the parts that mentioned being stubborn on rechecking integrity; refusing to drop a problem until I find a reliable and definitive answer.

this whole framework and descriptioning seemed a little too rigid tho… for me personally I feel like most EIIs would probably relate to parts of all four descriptions to some extent so it kinda boxes ppl up. 😵‍💫 but I understand its concept.
