I let my Ni sleep on it, and I have come up with the following: 6, 4, 8 because I realized that the ideal modes of these types perfectly describe what I aspire to, and if I am at my healthiest, what I would be.
Ideal Modes (These are the ideals that I aspire to)
6 becomes 9 (peace, serenity, attunement, all as part of the internal and inherent state of being)
4 becomes 1 (idealism, perfectionism, benevolence, taking a stand for what is right, being the ideal)
8 becomes 2 (kindness, love, warmth, patience, helping others)
Normal Modes
6 (indecicive, concerned with loyalty comfort and security, a crusader when need be, overanalyzing)
4 (concerned with 'who I am', always seeking beauty, prefer to live in a fantasy world, self image)
8 (underneath it all, very direct, pushy, strong, magnanimous, instinctive, sensual, passionate)
Unhealthy Modes (These are modes I can fall into as they are the unhealthy sides of these types)
6 becomes 3 (pushy, nervous energy, overdoer, prideful, boastful, obsessive, stressed out, go go go!)
4 becomes 2 (clingy, needy, lonely, desperate for a rescuer, willing to give too much, devastated)
8 becomes 5 (callous, insensitive, cold, practical, efficient, calculating, intellectually brutal)
These types also seem to imply the wings previously mentioned (6w5, 4w3, 8w9). At this point, I'm not sure if I have any wings, or even if they exist, but are instread an illusion caused by the way the triads interact when healthy and unhealthy. Also note that one triad could be healthy while another unhealthy and the other normal. They're all relative unto themselves. Granted, it is likely that health or unhealth in one will pull at the others, so while they are connected, there is a large degree of autonomy.
However, I suppose I could claim 6w5, 4w3, 8w9 to express what I've determined here as a shorthand for those who understand the tritype and wings theory.
