I had a little bit of discussion on the personality cafe forum over my third type, but not too much. I've been looking up information comparing w5 to w7, but most of the information came from forums, so I'm not sure how accurate it is.
These are the reasons I think I'm a 6w7 third in my tritype instead of 6w5:
-I do like to learn and intellectualize some things, but not at all in a 5-type way
-I'm impulsive
-Switch between optimism and pessimism
-I'm virtually never cynical
-I openly express emotion
-I'm very emotional and know my emotions well
-I make choices quickly instead of weighing the options rationally
-My mood can change rapidly (though I think that's largely due to my bipolar)
-6w7 sometimes looks like 4w3 (my core type)
Also, this description for 6w7 fits me: "Average Sixes with a Seven-wing...tend to depend more on others for reassurance and... If they get conflicting advice, they tend to be more indecisive than the Sixes with Five-wings."
- Riso and Hudson, 'Personality Types', pg.257
My withdrawn nature can be attributed to being a core 4 with a self-preservation/sexual stacking; Self-preservation types are often more withdrawn.
Again, any opinions on the matter are welcome:-)
