What difference does your opinion make?|||This right here is what Animal was talking about from the start. This is a pointless conversation, one where you aren't even in alignment with your precious sources.  Why even bother?  Oh, does...|||I am naked before you. :blushed:|||Animal Stop it (don't), you're making me blush.. :blushed:|||Also, for those who care, the imagery I identify myself with;   My personal favorite (not in terms of technique per se, but in terms of describing ME);...|||What makes it difficult to pinpoint a type for me...  Holy shit, that's a tough question! :shocked: Not that I haven't been thinking of this, of course, but yeah... still, a tough question indeed....|||Team Arya!!!!  YES  I'm also team Jaime though!  :laughing:|||Well, no one ever thought I was a 9 to begin with, so that might as well be a null or void typing, no matter my passion (read: hatred) for that self-typing. As a relief from being misled into...|||Not trolling, just omitting a whooooooole lot a steps.  edit: Also, trolling? Moi? Jamais!!|||Ah, good ol' beautiful post of mine from all the way back in 2013.  Super-ego message + Image triad issues.

And Sp/So.|||Also, I read through Helen Palmer's The Enneagram and I fit the entire chapter on type 6. It's embarrassing really.|||Typing at 9 helped me face very real and deep hurts, but the holy sins of sloth aren't my own. It just may be a greater sin to claim one that hasn't claimed me.  Dampening of anger, or that of the...|||I'm a bitch, I'm a lover I'm a child, I'm a 6er I'm a sinner, I'm a saint I do not feel ashamed I'm your hell, I'm your dream I'm nothing in between You know you wouldn't want it any other way|||I'm allergic to showing vulnerability, but unlike the attack-mode of the Sx 6, I go for a more stoic self-inhibition. Less intimidation and more distance.  I display my strength in projecting an...|||The world full of shades of grey generates anxiety for me. What decision to make? Where to go? Face it head on or avoid it altogether? Anxiety feeds into my anger. Anger clears up the clouds.

Copy-pasting only my own answers here.     This last part is actually a weak spot...|||His temperament couldn't be more Ej if he tried. Body language baby.

Whether this is intentional or not is something I leave to your imagination... :wink:|||I am excellent at expressing emotion, but I rarely talk about my emotional life. The closest to that would probably be me talking about how to emotionally impact others.  I focus a ton more on the...|||It's important to remember that Chestnut is describing her view on subtypes (which I personally think are rubbish, but that aside..), and not on instinct.  For example, look at her take on the...|||The stacking is just the ordering of instincts; the first one is the 'dominant' one - the most neurotic one, the second one is more neutral - this one tends to be the most balanced in one's life, and...|||I'll give it a try, though I must warn you beforehand, I will be forgetting stuff!! :p  Instinct, as the name implies, is about biological patterns that we as mammals are programmed for.

Same for the 'counter-phobic'...|||The instincts operate separately from the Enneagram, and while they do influence each other, to call the combination an Enneagram subtype is a red flag. It's not how these things work. Instinct is...|||Learned a lot, changed my mind;  ISTP LSI (ISTj)  Look at that Fe-inferior rage! Zero subtlety in charismatic manipulation.
