SP/SO Subtype
Overview
Self-Preservation emphasizes grounding and stability and has a contained quality, and the Social Instinct has an eye on what’s appropriate, interpersonal structures, and finding common ground with a well-defined inner “map” of interpersonal dynamics. Both instincts are looking for different kinds of cohesion and clarity that the Sexual Drive often runs counter to.
