Yes, I have looked at five and scored high on both five and seven. So, maybe I am a five?
Also, since I somehow managed to get something good out of the situation afterall, now what am I? (not a quitter, we know that), but can't different types behave similar under stress at times? Or is that not it?
Maybe I am a five.
Or maybe not.
But what I wrote about leaving people for relief, to get some breathing room, does that make me a five? Also, that's not really true, now that I feel better, I WANT to be around people.
It seems that my wanting to connect and share with others relates to my moods, whether things are going good or not. When they are goo, I want to be with others, when they are not, I don't.
This would make me a 7, since a 5 would move opposite (of me) towards others under stress to point 7, insteaed of away like me, right?
So, does this mean:
When under stress: I move away, take flight (towards whatever's imagined to be better elsewhere)
When under happiness: I move towards (accept the present)
?
This would mean I am acting like a healthy 7 moving towards a 5, not in flight. (Or does it?)
?
