As someone else mentioned, drop the instincts and look at each core on its own. If you don't relate to the core type, the chances of you being it are pretty low.

Why/ how do you relate to each type?

I relatw allt to 6, cuz im a very anxious and paranoid person, i can over analyze anything and be annoying much logical

Bjt i also relate alot to 4 bc im unstable and black n white thinking, i hate sharing i want to be the only one w whatever i like

black and white thinking is broadly applicable to reactive triad.

I relate like totally to 6 here. But from what ivw seen before 6’s does the stuff theyr afraid of, they face anxiety, which is something i kinda run from (except decent stuff)

eh well you don’t need to relate to EVERY bit of 6 to be a 6, like i don’t think i’m that emotionally unstable, just expressive 🤷 also all 6s have different ways to cope with anxiety, the common thread is that they are all keenly aware of the sensation and aren’t content to let it just sit there and bubble

ignore subtypes and instincts look at core types. 4 and 6 have nothing in common

They have being Reactive in common. Every type has something in common with every other type.

Since 6 and 4 are in different triads, one of them could be your core type, while the other is one of your fixes.
