i feel like people who have a lot of trouble choosing an enneagram type are scared of confronting the ugly parts of themselves.
I have considered this, but I have come to disagree. I think there are a few different things that can cause difficulty in understanding e-type, though lacking actualization would clearly be one of them. 6's commonly have difficulty typing because in their spectrum of ph and cp they can look like many of the types, some people can mis type as 4's when depressed, or any type if they are simply unhealthy people, and all at the same time egram says its common for those with exceptional growth to identify with traits of all the etypes. Throw in stacking, triad, etc.. and I think e-gram is a highly complex system.
I view enneagram is being closest to the core. but this is simply because I have alot of spiritual interest and view the essence or soul as something seperate than thoughts or emotions (cognitive mind process) The enneagram will reveal how that essence handles being seperated from the source. I also think the essence will chose a body and mind that is congruent with its nature, so mbti has a correlation.. but not as much as etype.
