Months ago, I decided that I was not a 5w4 but a 6w5. A few days after that, I posted support; the two main things that drove me seemed to be the effect of people upon me and the need for truth and certainty in everything.
Today, I realized that the two motivations can be condensed into one.
My motivation: I fear social rejection.
Unlike the stereotypical three, I do not also have the motivation of social approval. I dislike it - accepting it means letting down my guard, and that makes any rejection that much more painful.
My need for truth follows naturally. People cannot reject what is logically right. Certain truth is social solid ground.
Do you think I'm a 3?
