Anyway, I'd love to know how have you recognized your subtypes? I have no idea of my own, could imagine nearly any of the choices. I tend to think it's either sx or so since I seem to be so clearly extroverted and upbeat and towards people.
I've understood that social subtypes are more people-oriented and friendly, sexual subtypes more intense and energetic and self-preservation subtypes more introverted and grounded. Do you agree? How do those manifest in your life?
I'm a counterphobic (so/sp/sx). Determining my subtype stacking was mostly a simple exercise in examining my priorities. I think of whose security warrants the most attention, especially when analyzing new threats. I'm going to give an example of how I compare threats, and please keep in mind that the intention here is to demonstrate how I prioritize. This is not a statement about what specific concerns are indicators of subtypes.
When SARS broke out, I went to RED ALERT! If health organizations had not found a way to quarantine and treat SARS, it would have decimated the population of the globe. I was extremely focused on every little bit of information availible from the moment I heard of it.
I've spent quite a substantial time studying smallpox, spanish influenza, polio, cholera, pfisteria, etc.These threats worry me much more than cancer, because the vectors are social connections, and the damage is done to entire chunks of the population. Cancer is an isolated threat, meaning, if I get cancer, I won't be transmitting it to others, so it's not as big of a concern for me.
Now, sexually transmitted diseases are an even lower concern for me, because I am easily able to isolate myself from that vector. They are a threat based on social vectors, but I can choose to avoid these vectors, most of the time. I'm aware that getting my blood mixed with another person's blood is an extremely dangerous vector, and that's not as controllable as sexual interaction, so I worry much more about HIV's transmission through accidental contact with others. But sexual interaction is my lowest concern, so I can be very selective about my exposure to this vector, and if I were infected, would be able to isolate myself from infecting others.
Again, my intention here is to demonstrate my prioritization of health threats, not to identify any particular concerns as being indicators of a particular subtype.
