I've read a lot on the instinct variants and sometimes the sp descriptions are opposite of each other (I've read about sp 4's being "dauntless," but also that they prefer the comforts of home; some sp's aren't materialistic at all and want to be very independent whereas some sp's are somewhat materialistic and don't think that much about independence, etc.)
I wonder if this has anything to do with being a 4w3 vs. a 4w5. I read that sp 5's can be the opposite of materialistic and can be frugal and try to not depend on other people. Could this carry over to 4w5? I'm a 4w3 and I relate most to descriptions of being materialistic (at least when stressed/upset), needing a comfortable environment to live in, liking routine, not being a risk-taker, etc. Though I tend to be good in a crisis, which is the one thing about the "Dauntless" description that fits me. I do worry about my mother dying and me having to take over her estate, which would be an sp issue, but I do not *wish* independence -- only interdependence. I have a strong sx secondary, though, so maybe that's why I always want a few close people with me?
Any insights or personal experiences would be appreciated!
