Follow up on the previous ask about 9w1's... What makes it hard for them to recognize their own expressions of anger?

9s don't want to confront anything uncomfortable. Anger is an intense emotion they would rather not be feeling -- it's "draining" for them to be angry, so they learn to "tamp down" those emotions to live in a kind of "even-keel" emotional state. Even the 9w8s deal with this a lot -- one 9w8 I know gets angry when other people upset her, because "I didn't want to feel this way!!" or when other people are being disruptive in her environment ("you are creating all this angst, and I just wanna be peaceful!"). 9w8s reinforce their boundaries by shutting out things they don't want to deal with / being assertive in slapping things away, so that they can maintain a state of inner peace.

But 1 is a super-ego function, saying "I should..." 1 shows up differently in a 9 than it does a 1 core, because the 1 core feels that their anger is justified (you are dong this wrong, you are being incompetent, you should be a better person, etc). The 1 core is angry a lot, about the state of imperfection the world is living in, and has an inner voice criticizing itself (hence, the need to be "perfect" -- to avoid the inner criticism). That's why if a 1 gets criticized by someone else, they are angry about it or lash out. Because you just echoed to them what their inner voice was crabbing about.

In the 9, however, the main desire is peace, and to not be touched by things. So the 1 is lecturing the 9 about things they did wrong to disrupt the peace, mean things they said to other people (that's a bad thing to do), how they should be BETTER or MORE (I shouldn't procrastinate so much, I shouldn't be a slob, I should get more done, I should have more energy, I should...). Most of all, though, I should not lose my temper. I should be a peaceful, kind person! So you have the 9 who is in full denial of having anger issues (it's all fine :) I am really not angry, I promise!!) and the 1 telling them that their anger is bad/disruptive/inappropriate. The 9 believes they do not deserve to take up space -- in the world, with other people, etc. Being angry is taking up space. It's demanding others deal with you. It's anxiety-inducing, so the 9w1 avoids it.

Often, once the 9w1 becomes aware of being an anger type -- they become much more aware of how angry they are ALL THE TIME, except... they never do anything about it, and that also makes them angry. Why do I just put up with things? Why didn't I speak up? Why am I such a doormat? Why do I just agree with things I don't like? Why are you taking advantage of me? Why can't I just tell you off? (Followed by 1 wing lectures based on idealism -- I should be above such things!!)

do you think a sp/so could mistype as sx/so?

That’s a pretty far stretch, but honestly with crappy enough descriptions, anything’s possible.  In general, sx blinds tend to mistype as sx users in part due to sx overfocus, in other due to the fact that sx blind descriptions are pretty bad.  Not to mention that people’s self perception is typically pretty awful.  

Nontheless, I think it would be more likely for a sp/so to mistype as a soc blind (sp/sx primarily; maybe sx/sp if they’re really having a rough time) than sx/so.  I’ve definitely seen pretty drastic mistypes before in this fashion, but usually it’s more so/sp mistyping as sx/so than sp/so, since by a technicality the two are exact opposites.
