[Traditional Enneagram] Please help me: 7w8 or counterphobic 6

[Masokissed]

Edit: Okay, I just caught something that changes the game for me. You indicated you first experienced anxiety at age 24...but under conditions that would cause anyone to feel anxiety. The common experience that I'm describing for 6 wing emergence in 7w6s is the anxiety is unexplainable because the individual isn't going through a negative/bad time. The 7w6 doesn't know what the hell is going on so...

I'm back to having no clue. Ill bow out here and let you converse with the experts.

Is that really how it goes? I'm a few years younger than that age the 6 wing anxiety is supposed to come, but I've already had it happen (and, like, back in middle school, too.). But it wasn't unexplainable... I was going through some shit. Am I destined to have another wave of it in a few years?

Every single 7w6 has the same exact experience no matter what. <-No. But I don't know why all you bambinos even waste your time on sites like these because there are developmental reasons the MBTI is only meant for individuals over the age of 18...and many practitioners even think that's too young.

Every once and a while there is a younger member where their type seems fairly obvious...but you aren't one of them in my opinion. I like interacting with you...but admit to wanting to smack you just like they do in my culture to demonstrate affection...when I see you spending good time trying to solve the currently unsolvable.

And I tell you all of this out of the goodness of my heart because you don't even know how badly I would rather start freaking you out like I used to do with [MENTION=17131]Chanaynay[/MENTION] ...by resurrecting the "Soon" meme.

There!

4w3 7w8 8w7. 478, It swapped your first and second. Your lowest scores were 1, 9, and 6.

you get too defensive for 7. I'm going with cp6w7>4w?>1w2 Sx/So

Fuck, you again? Get out.

I assume you're joking considering you were the one who tagged me

I'm going to "take a stab in the dark" here and say...

7w6cp sx/sp 748

My guess as well.

While he avoids discomfort, he does nothing to diminish his anxiety by setting up safeguards like a phobic 6 would nor does he try to head anxiety off at the pass like a CP6 would.

So the anxiety isn't predominantly what is being avoided (phobic) or pre-emptively dealt with (CP) but the discomfort itself!

If you could expand more on this I would appreciate it. I am not sure about my ratio of c/cp.

There!

Tests aren't always conclusive.

Thanks. Well, I think everyone has overlapping c/cp qualities. Some people think cp is strictly a 6 in disintegration/unhealthy.

I personally don't think that. But knowing enneagram motivation really helps anyone integrate, imo.

Do you think it has to be one or the other? What are you confused about ratio wise?

Well, this isn't my thread, but I have a lot of qualities of both. I really prefer not to classify myself because I think that is limiting; but if I could be, I would kind of like to know. I think all 6's are both most of the time- that's what makes us a 6, an inherent duality. We're always reacting to ourselves.

Thank you for your contribution. Very informative.

Just pointing it out if it looks like someone is overreliant on them.
