Fetal

Soft-shell crab

Curled · Guarded · Loyal

Tough exterior, marshmallow interior. Both can be true.

What this archetype looks like

Your sleep position is the Fetal. Curled up on your side, this is the most common position globally. The personality pattern from the original Idzikowski study: tough exterior, sensitive core, slow to warm up to new people. The good part is depth; the risk is being misread as cold by people who only meet your exterior.
