hi, if you accept typology qns, do you think so/sps tend to mistype as sx/so more often than others? how would you describe the difference b/n them?
Yes, I still take Typology questions.
For your first question, it depends on many things.
The reason why So/sps often mistype is often not related to being So/sp itself but rather because:
So/sp as an IV stacking is devalued and shit upon, especially on tumblr for some reason. It's devalued in a dehumanizing way, making it so hyper specific and negative that people have a hard time to relate to it. No one with a decently healthy ego will choose to identify to something derogatory, thus creating assured mistype at some point.
On the other end, Sx/so are pointlessly glorified, or at least, presented in a humane way through being shown as perfectly imperfect. And since it's a contraflow instinct with Soc, and low Sp, actual So/sp can find bits of themselves in this stacking.
Also, typology attracts mostly "reviser" type (high Pe and Ji), which are type focused on constantly revising their understanding of concepts. And since IVs are not solidly defined, as in there isn't an objective methodology to quantify and qualify them definitively, it leads to constant arbitrary interpretation and even more space to doubt and revise said concept. This thus leads to more mistyping or constant doubting of their type anyway.
So, this is why people that are So/sp might mistype more often, since it would be almost masochistic to type as one depending the type of people they surround themselves with and the beliefs around the said stack.
As for what would distinguish those two stackings, there are some major differences between them, but at least two come to my mind. The main one is their blind spot. One cares more about complicity/commitment (Soc) and intimacy (Sp) at the cost of complimentarity (opposites that attract) (Sx), and the other value more said complimentarity (Sx) and complicity (Soc) at the cost of intimacy (Sp). This means that So/sp are overall safer in their approach as they value relationships that promise a sort of engagement through common ground (shared interests/values) and that requires intimacy to catter to the relationship. Therefore, they tend to avoid or simply not choose first handedly relationship with a high charge of opposition as they instinctively view it as harder and riskier to gain the kind of relationship they are wired to desire.
While Sx/so are more typical social butterflies that like to have impactful connection as they choose lots of complementary elements (oppositing traits) that they also manage by finding some common and shared values, interests, passions, etc. Intimacy becomes viewed as impairing to their goal as it requires time and investment to create, when what they instinctively crave is rather an impact, as opposition require a force to converge those opposite forces, which is found through some degree shared values. They don't want to take time to merge the opposition, they want already established common grounds that recall how to merge back as one.
Also, the second difference lies in the secondsry instinct. This instinct serves as a sort of playground, a place to test the water, as its goal is to feed the primary IV.
Therefore, it's where So/sp tend to voluntarily take people apart from the social playground and take the time to create a safe space to either reaffirm their mutual engagement to each other or test if they are on the same page. So, this is why they can often adopt the behavior to come suddenly into one's DM and start chatting and getting to know someone after repetitively encountering them on shared groups, projects, ateform etc. (*Tho, get that this isn't an So/sp exclusive behavior. Remember the motivation behind is what tells which IVs are into motion.)
For Sx/so it's where they rather use their shared interests or values to cultivate the relationship and maintain it alive. It's where they see if there is place for amiability or only destruction will occur by their complementary traits (which become said opposition instead). This often create the behavior to seek places where people share some of their interests or to do or talk (A LOT) about mutual interests so they see how much they share or not things in common with the people around. It then allows them to compete and seek people with complementary perspective to theirs. (*Again, get that this isn't an Sx/so exclusive behavior. Remember the motivation behind is what tells which IVs are into motion.)
So, So/sp might seek more instinctively to have individual moments, while Sx/so seek instinctively to remain with the many, both as a mean to "test the waters". So/sp's goal by doing so is to strengthen their shared values and so, lead to have more occasion to engage in shared activities. Sx/so's goal is to be able to create complimentarity from their opposing traits by using their common values as a merging point.
I hope it could answer your question. There are some other aspects that distinguish both of those IVs, but those are the biggest differences. If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask x)
