i can totally see amerie as a 7, but honestly, sp 2 would make a lot of sense as well. the sp 2 appears a lot like a 7, and often they are mistyped because they can be hedonistic, immature and avoid difficult emotions. (also, spoiler warning!) amerie clings to childlike ideas like her 'best friends forever' relationship with harper and her hopeless 5 year crush on dusty. she doesn't want to grow up, let go of these ideals and have more mature and authentic relationships with people because she's scared of inevitably becoming an adult. she mocks her classmates' love lives to substitute the fact she doesn't have one, almost in the way that primary school children tease and joke about crushes. by repressing her desire to fall in love and be like those people she's mocking, amerie is able to continue living with a childlike mindset and be dependent on harper. sp 2s are described like this - "on the one hand, people and relationships feel compelling and important, but on the other hand, being close to people seems fraught with danger because it includes the possibilities of losing oneself or being judged, taken advantage of, humiliated, or rejected." amerie protects herself from being hurt by avoiding romantic relationships entirely. when malakai starts pursuing her, she freaks out and doesn't know how to cope, so she avoids him and dodges when he asks her out. after malakai stops answering her calls and texts, she confronts him in the hallway. she starts searching for reassurance and tries to act understanding to help rebuild her confidence that he still likes her. she leans in to kiss him, but he awkwardly says they should go to assembly. malakai unknowingly feeds into her insecurities and fear of rejection, and her face completely drops as he walks away. sp2s have a lot of trouble trusting people and are the most ambivalent about relationships out of all 2s, but amerie trusts harper, so she is undoubtedly loyal and committed. she naively believes their friendship is unbreakable. e.g. "i met harper when i was five. we've been best friends ever since. nobody could come between us. we've always been each other's ride or dies" when harper suddenly changes her behaviour, her sense of entitlement and need to be put first by her close relationships shows. harper doesn't let her ramble on about dusty anymore, she doesn't care that amerie lied to the principal about harper's involvement in the map - which challenges the way that amerie sees the world, and triggers the her fear of rejection and abandonment. in episode 1 especially, she sounds a lot an sp 2: "what's up with you? hello. don't you hear me? i took the fall for you" she expects gratitude and validation from harper (even though she didn't ask her to help). anyway i could be wrong about this but i think it's plausible
