I obsess about all the possibilities and the need to cover them.

My sister had to do this for an MBA class, no joke. If you’re up for a long, MBTI-type test, try this. I have a guess on what your type is and I wonder if I’m right.
You are most likely a type 6.
Taking wings into account, you seem to be a 6w5.
I would have guessed you a 5w6 - 5 is the type for people who combat uncertainty by accumulation of knowledge. It’s my type.

It seems from what I read that 6w5 and 5w6 means 6 and 5 are the most prominent two in either case, with 6 being most prominent with the first and 5 with the second.
My top 2 wings were
Wing 6w5 - 16.2
Wing 5w6 - 15.4

Yep. Looks like you’re pretty even between the two.
My second highest score was in 9, Peacemaker, but I had relatively balanced 4 and 6 wings.
The test my sister had to take was an official, paid assessment, but this one, despite the silliness of the rest of the site, was a pretty good free test.

6w5 - Seeking Security and Knowledge

Sixes with a 5 wing are generally introverted and somewhat intellectual. When healthy, they often have many realms of interest as well as surprising competencies and skills. May have an original and idiosyncratic point of view. Can be bookish; some are interested in history or feel rooted in the past or related to a long tradition. Also good at predicting the future. May test potential friends for a long time but once you're in, you're in - a friend for life. When more entranced, they may project a willed remoteness. Have a "tip of the iceberg" quality - they show little but you sense hidden dimensions, intensity and activity. Tension between needing to be seen and withdrawing for protection. Might act arrogant or cryptic or cynical when afraid. When phobic, can be diplomatic and say things without saying them. Entranced counterphobics are either cool and loners or argumentative, tending towards violence. Can brood over injustices to them, entertain conspiracy theories, spend time alone building cases. Paranoia in private. May like secretive behind-the-scenes group activity. Sneaky vengeance, passive/aggressive toward others, self-attacking and self-destructive at home.
5w6 - Seeking Knowledge and Security

The 6 wing brings an orientation to detail and technical knowledge, along with the tendency to think in logical sequence. Especially intellectual, far more analytical than Fives with a 4 wing. Can be loyal friends, offering strong behind-the-scenes support. Kind, patient teachers, skillful experts. May have a sense of mission and work hard. Sometimes project an aura of sensitive nerdiness and have clumsy social skills. When defensive, they can be unnerved by the expectations of others. May like people more but avoid them more. Especially sensitive to social indebtedness. Could have trouble saying "thank you." Fear of taking action, develop "information addiction" instead. Ask lots of questions but don't get around to the decision at hand. When more entranced, they develop a suspicious scrutiny of other people's motives but can also be blind followers. Misanthropic and Scrooge-like when defensive. More able to keep their feelings cut off in a constant way. Can be cold, skeptical, ironic, and disassociated. A Five's 6 wing can be phobic or counterphobic. Counterphobic 6 wing brings courage and antiauthoritarian attitudes. When defensive they may mock authority, or angrily tell others off. Tend to "push the envelope," experiment, find what the limits are.

I’m diagnosed with paranoid personality disorder but also would fit avoidant with schizotypal traits.

My pdoc says I don’t qualify for a personality disorder, but that I show avoidant and dependent traits. Obviously, my issues are with depression and anxiety leading to psychosis. I think depression ties in with 4, one of my wings.
I tend to disagree with the paranoid PD label. Mainly because diagnostic criteria and various articles emphasise the argumentative/contentious nature and overlook the fact some of us are fearful and rather timid paranoiacs .
I think if the diagnosis better covered people like me I could accept it more.
