Default Everyone thinks they're w8.

Please, stop assuming you've got an 8 wing just because you have an independent streak.

I'm not too hot on this whole "my wing can be anywhere and not just next to me" idea, but when I see everyone claiming to be a w8 it really peeves me.

8s are statistically the type that suffers the most mistypes, please take a minute to think about it.

Could anyone link me to somewhere that this new "any wing" ideology is coming from?

Heh I haven't studied much about ennegrams, but I know I have balanced wings (6 & 8). Surely there are a lot of people out there with wing 8.

I score 5w4.

I've thought to be 7w8, and it's because of no fad, no fashion or anything such. I don't give much credit to the enneagram theory, but it's been consistent enough lately for me to decide myself as 7w8 anyway. More consistent than say, MBTI - where I've tried to decide myself on the both ENxP. Anyways, yes I'd say my 7w8 is genuine and no result of a "fashion", movement or anything like that.

That means, as genuine as it gets. It's still subject to misinterpretation, something I find plentiful in the domain of enneagram.

Just out of interest what make you think most people "assume" they are w8 ?


---------------------

Falcarius does not know his Ennegram type as it comes back different each time: 7w6, 5w4, and 9w1 maybe. But no Falcarius is not an w8, that would be totally asinine.

Hmm. The reason why I was considering w8 because it's crazy how many people complain about my aggressiveness/mood swings in real life.

Can I just be a 5w9 and leave it at that?

There. No 8s involved. Though I'd be up for a game of crazy eights, if you'd like...

Well, you can take my opinion to vouche for the legitimacy of the wing from anywhere theory. I picked the Enneagarm to pieces and concluded that the ordering of the types was totally arbitrary, and as such, there was no practical basis for the wings always being adjacent.
