What’s the difference between SX-first and SX-second?

When looking it up there’s mostly threads of people saying how rare SX-dom is and that they can tell when someone is one vs a sx-second because of the energy/intensity What would be some Anecdotes or Examples of the difference as far as how it actually looks IRL? Can’t really decide if I’m sx first or second, although I do have a hunch it’s probably my dominant instinct

hello, first we need to clarify that unlike other enneagram sites or authors, Naranjo did not see instincts as completely separate from the core. The simplest proof of this is that even types with the same instinct behave completely differently; for example, some SP2, SP6, or SP5 may not be proficient in the material and physical world, and there are even such examples. so, when determining your second or dominant instinct, you need to make that decision by reading the subtypes themselves, rather than just focusing on the instinct itself
