[Traditional Enneagram] How do you pronounce the types?

[Zeego]

I'll use my own type as an example. I usually pronounce it 5-wing-4.

 

[Korvinagor]

Is there no option for 'double-u/w'? Example: 9-w-1. It's how I mentally read them.

Good point. Is there any way to edit a poll? I can't figure out how to.

 

[Mal12345]

Don Riso told me it was pronounced "Five with the Four-wing."

 

[Hiraeth]

I always think and say 5 wing 4.

 

[Mal12345]

I always think and say 5 wing 4.

I always go with what Riso told me to do.

 

[Yama]

I say "with" in my head but when I'm talking out loud I'll say it properly ("5 with a 4 wing")

 

[Smilephantomhive]

I put 5 wing 4 in the poll, but now I think I say 5 double-u 4. Crap this is like one of those thing swhen people talk about how you breath, and now you are aware of how you're breathing.

 

[cosmic royal]

It's interchangeable for me. Sometimes I'll say 5 wing 4, other times I'll say 5 with a 4 wing.

 

[Yuurei]

I just say 8 with 7. I know that isn't "Correct" but eh, schematics are only useful for pissing me off.

I think it is also habitual because I am used to DISC personality in which I am High D with I.

 

[OrangeAppled]

I say 5-4 (meaning 5w4). I only say it in my head, because I don't discuss it in person with anyone.

 

[Lord Lavender]

Personally for me I woudl say it as type 7 with a 6 wing or 5w4 exactly the way it is said on the thing.

 

[Morpeko]

Either 5-wing-4 or 5-wuh-4.

 

[chickpea]

“four with five”, etc.

not enneagram related, but i realized that some people pronounce the cognitive functions as sounds instead of saying the letters. i.e. pronouncing Fe as “fee” instead of “eff-ee.” how silly!

 

[Obfuscate]

five double-u four...

 

[Maou]

5 wing 4
