Isn't the whole thing based on how you switch strategies when the initial approach isn't working?Isn't a component of the theory of tritype, having multiple coping tools, if the first set doesn't work, etc?
Agreed on the first rhetorical question.Isn't the whole thing based on how you switch strategies when the initial approach isn't working?
Let's say you're an 8 and things aren't working out. You change strategy to something similar to a 6. But does your motivation change?

Isn't it possible to have multiple motivations? Are we all singularly focused or are we multi-dimensional?
Problem is that contrary to a popular belief, the enneatype is not about motivations. It is about the way you see the world and toward what angle you perceive information, it represents your mode of attention. The 9 enneatypes represent 9 pieces of the whole map of human condition, everybody, as a human being, is confronted to human condition and is potentially able to see the world toward the 9 point of view, and to be multidimensional. Enneagram say that when you are entranced, you are stuck in the attention mode of you enneatype at the point that you lose your ability to consider another way to deal with life and see the world, and lose your ability to be multidimensional.
When are we entranced and how do we become multidimensional? Does this also make integration/disintegration useless theory?Problem is that contrary to a popular belief, the enneatype is not about motivations.

So, it's useless to determine what are your "3 dimension" because the enneagram show you what your personality is when you are "uni-dimensional" and because enneagram say that when you leave your trance, you can be multidemensionals, but in 9 ways, not only 3. In comparaison with the original enneagram, the "trifix" theory is actually limitating, and wrong.
By your subjective perception, trifix is wrong. This isn't to say that it doesn't work for others. And who's to say that we don't have three dominant "fixations", as defined by Gingko.Problem is that contrary to a popular belief, the enneatype is not about motivations.

How about we call them "fixations"?
When are we entranced

You have high score on 4 and 8 because 4, 6 and 8 for the reactive triad, not because you have 4 and 8 on your "trifix", that's bullshit. 6s often get high score on 4 and 8 because they are reactives, you're far to be alone in that case.
There's two part in your personality : the aquired personality, and the essence. The acquired personality is your enneatype, with the mental fixation and the passion of the heart. The essence is the holy idea and the virtue of your type. When your acquired personality stop working, you move to your essence, not to another fixation. Of course there's the integration/disintegration point but that has nothing to do with the "trifix" shit.
