I believe that Snow is a 9 core as opposed to a 2 core, though she certainly has both in her tritype. At first, she looks like a stereotypical 2, searching for love and always trying to help other people. She definitely has a 2 fix that shows up as her always going out out of her way for others (offering her spare room to Emma, volunteering at the hospital, reading to David when he's in a coma to humor Henry), but I think her growth and stress patterns point to her predominantly being a 9. Snow primary objective throughout the show seems to be maintaining peace for herself and everyone else. She wants David to tell Kathryn about the affair because she's concerned about Kathryn becoming upset and the potential fallout of the affair. She repeatedly refuses to execute Regina despite it likely being for the greater good at certain points because she holds on to hope of reconciliation with Regina even in their darkest hours. In season 4, she asks Regina to go undercover with the queens of darkness because she doesn't want Emma finding out what they did to Maleficent's child to cause a rift in their relationship. To me, all of this points to her as a 9. Snow also doesn't integrate to 4 as a 2 would. Regina, a clear 2, presents a good example of integrating to 4 in the later seasons when she is able to accept herself for who she is and find her place in the world. Snow, on the other hand, seems to integrate to 3, becoming self-directed and motivated to take back her kingdom, protect her daughter, or get back to Storybrooke to reunite with Emma and Henry. These bursts of 3 follow periods of typical 9 behavior, like wandering the Enchanted Forest as a bandit, staying in the background and allowing Emma to handle her own issues, and and spending the missing year doing relatively little (as far as we know). Her handling of high stress situations is also more indicative of her being a 9. When she's on the run in the Enchanted Forest, she spends a great deal of time mulling over her feelings and trying to find the easiest and most peaceful way to end the conflict between her and Regina-she tries to run, writes a letter, eats the cursed apple, and exiles Regina before taking definitive action to save Emma via the wardrobe. In more stressful situations, however, she disintegrates to 6. None of the conventional methods can possibly make her feel secure enough, so she becomes fearful, insecure, and overwhelmed. We see this in her desperation to forget her love for David, to protect baby Emma from her inner darkness, and to kill Cora through whatever means necessary. In each of these scenarios, she panics and acts uncharacteristically rash to restore her own security and peace of mind. Were she a 2, I think that the conflict between her and Regina in the Enchanted Forest would have played out very differently. Regina, a clear 2, was deep into 8 disintegration and had become controlling and aggressive, was lashing out at others and feeling completely justified in doing so, seeking revenge, and becoming overwhelmed with hatred and negative feelings. If Snow were also a 2, we'd see her disintegrate similarly at times, and this likely would have led to a vicious power play between her and Regina. Instead, we see Snow in constant search of a way to restore peace and stability in both her kingdom and her relationship to Regina, integrating to 3 and disintegrating to 6 several times along the way.
