ISTP??? sx6? Chol-Sang? Not sure about the current one cuz Se-dom and low extroversion just sounds CRAZZYYY. But I can't relate to the alternatives I could think of so idk LOL. If you ever want to type me for fun, you can read my Q&A below or from this docs! ;) Love yaaa!! <3(Reminder: While typology can be fun, it's just a pseudoscience. So take this with a grain of salt!)
ENNEAGRAM TRITYPE
sp8, 852 sp/sx
8w9 - 5w6 - 2w3
Self-Preservation 8 (Gut) - SURVIVAL - 8w9
The E8 fix has a drive for the type of life they believe they deserve, their combination of lust with the self-preservation instinct leads them to focus on getting what they need for survival.They are fixated on what they believe will bring them the satisfaction of their needs, and they gobble up what they THINK they need, often at the expense of filling their real needs.They often get the title of the least expressive and the most armed of the three Eight subtypes. Their characteristic is somewhat like SX1 who is also obsessed with their desire, but One is hypersocial, while Eight is completely antisocial. One is too concerned with the rules and the other too little.❝ The word that corresponds to 8 is satisfaction: “This is mine. I have to have it.“ It is more an intolerance of the frustration of what he wants to have than the actual having of it. ❞ - C. Naranjo (PDB Wiki)*5 Fix (Core/Head) - AVARICE - 5w6
The 5 fix introduces an underlying need for knowledge, objectivity, and mental competence to manage fear and uncertainty. They seek to understand their environment intellectually and gather specialized information before engaging.They tend to prioritize analytical detachment, withdraw and conserve mental energy when overwhelmed, using observation and strict boundaries as tools to support their primary goals.The influence manifests as a protective hoarding of one's time, mental space, and resources. There is a backup focus on minimizing dependencies and ensuring they are adequately informed, leading to a problem-solving approach that is discerning, independent, and highly logical.❝They provide an 'Investigator' strategy: "I manage anxiety by acquiring knowledge, maintaining my mental independence, and analyzing the world objectively before I act." They focus on intellectual clarity, seeking to conserve their energy, and the pursuit of understanding to support their core drives.❞ - B. Chestnut (PDB Wiki)
The 2 Fix (Heart/Image) - PRIDE - 2w3
The 2 fix manifests pride through their role as a powerful nurturer and protector of their group. They are driven by their ambition to be “on top” and wield power themselves.They tend to engage in power struggles, desiring to dominate and play the protector role. This shapes their relationships as they aim to be the strong, reliable figure others depend on.Like SO8, they are powerful and protective. However, they can also show vulnerability to solidify their influence. They are goal-oriented, competitive, and successful in their endeavors.❝Their pride lies in influential nurturance: "They need me. I must be strong so I can protect and guide them." It's more about being the powerful figure others depend on than just being helpful. They seek validation through becoming the protector of their chosen people, combining strength with warmth.❞ - C. Naranjo (PDB Wiki)
SOCIONICS
Sensing Ethical Extratim (SEE)
SEE aligns with a dynamic, action-oriented approach to reality, with its Ego block (Se-Fi) combining forceful willpower and relational navigation.Se focuses on exerting influence, assessing power dynamics, and taking decisive action to mobilize the physical environment. Fi complements this by managing personal relationships, adjusting psychological distances, and building alliances to support their goals. This type gravitates toward tangible impact and personal connections while avoiding rigid, impersonal structures or abstract, theoretical rules.❝Energetic, charismatic, and decisive, the SEE treats the world as an arena of competing forces to be navigated and influenced. They prefer tangible achievements, interpersonal maneuvering, and stepping in with persuasive action.❞ - V. Gulenko (Wikisocion)
ATTITUDINAL PSYCHE
VFEL (THE ARBITER)

1V – Confident Volition (1V-1)
2F – Flexible Physics (2F-1)
3E – Insecure Emotion (3E-4)
4L – Unbothered Logic (4L-1)VFELs are characterized by a strong, unyielding desire to shape reality according to their personal goals. They project absolute self-assurance in their actions, pragmatic approach to the physical world, though they remain personally detached and emotionally guarded.They exhibit a unique balance: their commanding will provides the unwavering foundation for their trajectory, their flexible physics allows them to easily manage resources, adapt environments to achieve their objectives. They possess a persistent drive to execute their vision and they will ultimately use this tangible control to streamline their lifestyle.

TYPOLOGY Q&A
ㅤ
Read here or in docs !! Have fun~1. What's your biggest fear?
To live a life where I can’t have what I desire most, like being forced to give up on my dreams, depend on someone else, or sacrifice something I value simply because the world "demands" it. As the saying goes, “Depend on a man to feed you, and you give him the power to starve you”. I want to shape my own reality, and hopefully help others do the same. If someone wants two things, they should be able to pursue both without unnecessary sacrifice. Too often, those "necessary sacrifices" are really just another form of oppression. Everyone should be free to choose their own path! For example, I have no interest in motherhood, so I simply choose not to. People can say whatever they want, but my mind is already made up. Thankfully, peer pressure has never really affected me, and I'm not in a situation where saying "no" would endanger my safety, so those fears will always stay behind me as long as I keep choosing myself. But not everyone is so fortunate, and it frightens me to imagine myself in their shoes.2. What's your biggest desire?
I want to live comfortably, not just barely surviving. I might not be the life of the party, but I still want to experience more things in life. A slow life where I don’t have to continuously worry about money. To be content. To be more grounded in reality and take more action, talk to more people. I’ve always been so disconnected from the world for my entire life, I don’t even know what my parents were like even though they were with me all the time, I was too emotionally broken & was basically living on autopilot. So now as an adult I just want to live my life. I want to pursue whatever genuinely fascinates me. Do what I want to do and get what I want to get. Be mindful and pursue whatever I'm interested in. Build a sense of brotherhood/sisterhood with the people I find worth protecting. I want to be able to share everything in my life because I know my people will respect my decisions, and won't dismiss my goals as "too intense", "overly ambitious", or “unrealistic”.3. What are you 'the best' at?
Getting what I want! I can be pushy or stubborn when I really want something. I get restless when I can't get what I want, but I usually end up finding a way anyway.4. How do you see yourself right now?
I am where I am meant to be. Not exactly “happy”, but this is the life that I chose for myself, so I am somewhat content with it. It’s not exactly enjoyable, the desire I pursued comes with a lot of “unseen consequences”. I’m not good at reading risks and sometimes that makes me feel so overwhelmed with the world. It’s draining my energy, it feels like the world gives too little and demands too much.But I got what I wanted anyway, like independence, and I just got married to someone that I share a deep bond with. Though it’s still annoying because the consequence could limit my freedom and lower my quality of life for the next few years. But looking back, my life was so stagnant, I had nothing to lose anyway, so I know I chose right.5. How do you see yourself 5 years from now?
Happy and satisfied, hopefully! Living a comfortable life with my loved one, exploring all kinds of physical pleasures. Keep doing things that sound fun and make banks. I hope I’ll have financial independence, autonomy, and a cozy home life where I can just build things.6. How do you express yourself?
Freely and truthfully. I don't like to conceal my thoughts. When I have something to say, I say it directly. When I want something, I get it. I talk a lot about my feelings to my husband and besties, in fact I tend to overshare most of the time. However, people tend to say that I have a poker face in public??? (No idea why because that’s now how I feel internally). But I do realize I tend to detach myself from the world and just observe things whenever I’m depressed like I’m just a spectator in my own life.7. How do you feel about those near you (family, friends)?
Family: Growing up around them wasn't great. I was just an invisible kid to them. My opinions didn't count because I was "just a child”. I felt the need to grow up fast just to be taken seriously. They told me that my goals weren't “realistic” just because I liked to dream big, told me to give up on my dream multiple times, told me that I’m inferior, that I should just become a housewife and prioritize being a mother over my own career, etc. I also learned that they were homophobic, and since I had already known I was queer since I was a kid, I never really bothered trying to get to know them personally. I don't remember my cousins’ names or faces, and I don’t even know how many people there are in my extended family. I just thought that I’d move abroad when I grow up and could just cut ties with all of them. But the past is in the past, I don't wanna dwell on it. Nowadays, I just want to build my own found-family where people are heard, supported for whatever they desire in life, and have each other's backs.Friends: I REALLY love my friends (platonically). I feel the need for a deep sense of connection to them on a personal level, sometimes a little bit too much that I cross their boundaries…?? Which is ironic because sometimes they cut me off for it! Sometimes I come across as being too possessive, but I just care so much about them. They're my people!!8. How do you feel about strangers?
Uhh, neutral…? I don’t care much unless they give me a reason to. I don’t really socialize unless I need to. I could be very opinionated, but I rarely ever talk to other people on a deeper personal level, I don’t even know anyone in my class. I have a poker face and tend to be more closed off around strangers, but I do share some stuff about my life on social media (e.g. activities, food, my past, my experience, oversharing about my life, fandom-related content. I enjoy getting engagement like replies from people on Instagram, talking is nice sometimes).9. How do you view change/uncertainty?
I’m not looking for random novelty just because it’s new. For example, travelling the world purely to visit different places sounds BORING to me. I’ve traveled to 19 countries so far chasing the experience and I feel nothing. So now I just want the freedom to pursue whatever genuinely catches my attention and ignore everything else. I do enjoy new opportunities if it is an exciting one or aligns with my interest. But I’m not okay with just any “change”, if it’s just another boring job or something that could limit my freedom, then that’s basically just swapping one cage for another, so what’s the point? I want to keep my options open, and that means minimizing risks so they don’t become an obstacle or hold me back from my goals/other things I want.10. How do you make decisions?
I just listen to my gut and oftentimes it's already decided. The thing is when I really want something, in my mind I already have it. Sometimes it's beneficial to be this decisive, but it does make me seem possessive in my personal life, especially when the thing I "want" is a person. Deep down I already know I REALLY really want it. Like, I can easily imagine myself with it/doing it. Oftentimes, I act on impulse first and only realize it afterward (maybe it’s my ADHD?), then try to justify it with reasoning and figure out how to handle the consequences as they begin to unfold.11. How do you solve logical problems?
I usually try to engage with the problem directly so I can understand it firsthand. Then, I try to come up with a reasonable explanation using what I already know. I’m quite good at it, and I’ve been told that I’m very logical and rational, but at the end of the day, I just want an explanation that satisfies me enough so I can move on ASAP.12. How do you deal with your emotions?
I can’t stop talking about it! It makes me feel so insecure. I dislike being emotionally dependent. But I always try to deal with the source of that emotion. What makes me anxious/angry? And what can I do about it? I hate unresolved situations, so I act to resolve it and then just move on/distract myself and detach from those emotions. Though it's kinda frustrating if I have to wait for some time before being able to resolve it. Like, why? Not being able to do anything about it makes me feel depressed, I wouldn’t be able to stop, I would just rant and rant and rant nonstop, discussing my emotions over and over with anger. That’s why if I could, I just wanna get it done quickly and forget about it. I just want to do my own things and live my life without ever needing to revisit those emotions again.13. What drives you in life? What do you look for?
I lived my entire life just sitting on the sidelines because of my depression, so I want to be more engaged with the world. Maybe not socially, but I want to at least live life on my own terms. Routine doesn't drive me. I just want enough freedom to pursue whatever genuinely catches my attention, to know more, build something, or simply enjoy life. I know what I want can be “risky”, I'm not dumb enough to not acknowledge that, but I still think it’s worth the risk sometimes. To me life isn't about playing it safe, it’s about experiencing anything that interests me firsthand, the good and the bad. I want enough autonomy to pursue whatever I want.14. What do you hope to accomplish in your life?
I want to protect what is rightfully mine. My people, my freedom, my independence, my happiness, the life that I want. I want to be able to protect what I want to protect. Being able to sense what life has to offer has been a hell ride of experience that slightly strengthened my will to live, so that's my dream: to experience interesting stuff that life has to offer. I want to chase what I want in life and stop feeling depressed.I also want to do something that keeps me interested, but still pays well enough (cuz I want so many things, so I need to be able to afford it!). I am currently living abroad as I wanted to experience living in a place where I could be freely queer and get rich. The stipend I got as a graduate researcher here pays so well, but I’m planning to get away from academia ASAP so I can make more money. There are so many things I want to do. I like thinking and building things, and my previous jobs were basically that. It was remote and well-paid too, but it was just about boring repetitive corporate software applications. So I need a balance between the two.But who knows where life will bring me next? The future is a mystery, so I just do whatever the hell I want and see where it takes me. But whenever I decide that I definitely WANT that thing, then it has to be MINE. It's how I live. I don't want to interpret life as anything grandiose or living up to a certain definition of a successful life, but just taking it for granted. As it is.15. What do you hope to avoid doing or being? What values are important to you?
I avoid administrative or bureaucratic stuff for things I don’t care about, such as office politics or student organizations, because it’s so demanding. There’s no point in dealing with all that, for what? Prestige doesn’t feed me.But if it’s something I actually care about or that aligns with my interests, I do lead. In fact, I’d rather be the one leading. I take pride in my competence, and I kind of enjoy telling people what to do and how to do it MY way, LOL. I also enjoy being seen as someone who is dependable and helpful. Like a mother figure (?). I like being needed, so I mentor people and offer help sometimes when I want to.In a nutshell, I just want to live without a single care in the world, taking life moment by moment. If I had to name a value, it would be “let people live their lives”. I’m not telling anyone how to live every moment of their life, and I’d prefer it if people didn’t do that to me either.16. How do you want others to see you? How do you see yourself?
I don’t think I’m aware or care much about what people think. I believe people will always see me differently, especially depending on how close they are to me. I don’t socialize much, I also appear very calm in public, so maybe most people will just say that I’m “just a chill guy” or that they don’t know me…? But someone once told me that I was too cold, unapproachable, hot-headed, and stubborn. And my spouse told me about how caring and attentive I was. So I don’t believe there is just one “real me”. I may not know exactly what kind of person I am, but I know what I want to do or be in life, and that’s the only thing that matters to me.As for how I see myself, I see someone who has a desire to chase what they want, has ownership over their own life, and likes to inspire others to do the same. I am also a person who values self-autonomy and having control over my own life. I guess I am sometimes drawn to the idea of being a sexy, alluring, irresistible “masc fatale”, but other than doing it playfully, I don’t actively chase that image either (?). I hate being seen as unique or different, I personally think that is insulting. I want to be my own self, but also belong. I also love it when my friends tell me that they can rely on me and feel safe enough around me to let their guards down, to the point where they are willing to share their dreams, secrets, and life experiences with me. In my closest relationships, I want to be their protector and provider. I want to be someone my spouse can lean on with full trust. I want them to need me, to feel soft and taken care of by me.17. Describe how you experience each of: a) Anger; b) Shame; c) Anxiety.
a) ANGER: A LOT. At so many things: capitalism, homophobia, transphobia, patriarchy, the demands of the world, hatred toward people for simply being themselves, and disrespect from people who think they know “what is best” for others, even though it does not align with those people’s beliefs or what they value in life. I also get angry at people who say they want to “help” even though no one has asked them to!! I usually just ignore them and do what I want anyway, but sometimes I still get triggered.b) SHAME: I think I tend to overlook/don't want to think about it so I focus my energy outward and any misfortune that I've ever experienced mostly turns to anger or sadness. I've also been told multiple times that I lack self-consciousness, so there's that.c) ANXIETY: I am highly emotional, reactive, and sometimes anxious, but only briefly…? Like, I hate feeling that way so I always try to face it ASAP so I don't need to worry/overthink how I feel about it afterward. I deal with it, let go of it, then just try my best to direct my energy elsewhere.
