Enneagram kind of reminds me of theemotionalFeeler MBTI.
I dont quite get the Enneagram.
If there was some kind of 5w7 or 7w5 I would fit perfectly in to it.
5 and 7 are right next to each other on the integration/disintegration line, which means 5s under stress will start to behave like unhealthy 7s and 7s when relaxed and in control will start to behave like healthy 5s. (Of course, this doesn't mean 5 is a better type. At their best they will start to become more like healthy 8s, etc.)
It's cool how the enneagram all fits together, but I think it's overly reductionistic, unless you add in all the 'sx/sp/so' stuff which makes it too cluttered. The 'stress & disintegration' concept is badass, but I just think there's more going on under the surface in the MBTI model. It deconstructs how patterns of behavior actually form instead of saying 'you're a this-&-that so you do this-&-this'.
But partly I dislike the Enneagram because it categorizes me as a 5 sometimes & I think that's a shitty category.

Hey don't be dissing all the 5's around here. 5 makes everyone else feel like a pansy. (except maybe 3's)
Well, Fives aren't the only intellectuals in the E-Gram. Richard Feynman was an ENTP 7w8.
What I hate most about it is that it's called "the Investigator"... you just get a picture of yourself walking around with a magnifying glass checking to make sure everything's still there & nothing vanished in your absence from the area .
