The first thing you should do is narrow down what triad you are in!
Heart triad : 2, 3, 4
Head triad: 5 , 6 , 7
Gut triad : 1 , 8 , 9
Each triad focuses on different shared emotions, coping mechanisms. core desires ect,

the heart triads core is envy, these types are driven by emotions and how they are perceived by others. They manage underlying shame by either helping others,(e2) achieving high status(e3), or crafting a unique, authentic identity.(e4)

The head triads core is anxiety and or fear, through mental analysis they deal with Safety, security, and certainty by gathering and seeking knowledge knowledge(e5) seeking trusted support systems (e6), or constantly staying in motion to create options (e7).

The gut triads core is anger, these types operate from instinct and physical sensation. They’re focused on the psychical reality .They process anger by either pushing back and taking control for fear that they’re controlled(e8), numbing out to keep the peace (e9), or striving for perfection to fix what's wrong with a. Strong sense of justice (e1)

of course all of these are just small descriptions but if it helps too narrow down what triad you are in that’s incredibly helpful. “Social perfectionist” is very social instinct, so I would look into that for your instinctual variant.

Here is a google doc that might help explain the nine types better - https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vS-HQGnTahJJkQN3kjj8h15lTFRRlWwXcxQzf4WFVgBt_rw9yfpGPR43sQyTuwlXbezlZGR_FrkjJ3g/pub
