What's your preferred weather?

Do you have a bucket list?

Would you want a big wedding or to get married at city hall?

Dogs or cats?

Honestly I don't. My natural inclination is to go towards issues, not away. I suppose I do identify with isolating my emotions however.

This "going towards issues" thing I've noticed in you is part of why I've thought CP 6 as a fix is possible. I'm just not sure how much of it is your actual 8 fix.

I can see this applying to me. My definition of happy is literally "when all needs are met". I don't relate to emulating myself to things as a way to gauge myself. (I'm not sure if I'm understanding the excerpt correctly though.)

I think the "emulating yourself to things" specifically to "gauge" yourself sounds more like a 3 thing. Doing so for security (which I assume is similar to what you mean when all needs are met, but please let me know if I'm assuming things incorrectly) can easily apply to 6.

I used to be really into laissez faire capitalism because I genuinely thought the world was fair and worked in such a way that the best truly do rise up. As I learned more (in both an academic and maturity sense) I found this to be flat out false. Not only does capitalism keep people down, but it does so by design. It's inefficient and unjust ON PURPOSE. That's where my fight for left wing activism truly started from. The world can literally be a better place and we don't make it so because.... no good reason? Suffering is not mandatory, yet we pretend that some people just deserve misery because that's how luck works. No. Everyone can be sustained and live fruitful lives if we just looked at all the evidence in front of us! Starvation, homelessness, crime... all solvable but we don't! Ugh! It's so frustrating, which is why I want to keep fighting.

TBH, x68s can be quite the justice fighters, especially with a 2 core. So in terms of tritype descriptions themselves, I think it would be your best fit...

Huh, I've never looked at e5 like that. I think I do identify with it. I'm constantly offering advice or trivia that I think would be helpful and prove my worth. I don't relate to it in the sense that e5s hoard information and all that jazz, but in the context of putting things aside and avoiding rejection, yep, that's me.

I see. This is 5-ish, but I don't think it necessarily means you have to be a 5 fix. I think that two rejection fixes are enough.

This might be my bias against the self proclaimed reactive people on the forum, not gonna lie, but I have absolutely no understanding of the reactive aspect of my or anyone else's tritype. Yeah, people lose their cool every now and then but that often and that explosively? Could not be me. It's only warranted when you've been really, truly wronged, y'know?

I am coming to the point where I feel pretty good about you potentially being a 286, but the double-reactive thing is what's getting me. I've seen double-reactive people who really aren't that explosive (Saturnal Snowqueen for instance, though she may not be the best example since she is a 9).

The fact that your 6 fix would be last might make a difference... I'm not an 8 fix but I think I'm more reactive than you because my two reactive fixes come first in the tritype. I'm sure that your 2 would help to diffuse things.

I experience anxiety all the time. It is often irrational though, so I don't really respect that aspect of my emotions. I have two modes when it comes to stress. I either respectfully seek out someone with more expertise than me and ask for help or I mentally tap out completely. I am often paranoid that people are lying to me, but other than that, I don't have any paranoias per say.

IDK if I'm projecting now but that sounds extremely 6. The switching between seeking out people with more expertise (I do not have much in common with you, but this is something I share) or just checking out of the situation (in my case, to withdraw) seems very 6w5.

I'm still gonna say 2w3 8w7 6w5, but unlike my last post, I think you're so/sp.

My preferred weather is bright and sunny day with a breeze and no clouds in the sky. The type of day where it's warm in the sun and cold in the shade.

I used to but now, not so much.

I want a small wedding. I definitely want a reception and whatnot, but nothing too expensive.

Dogs!

I will shamelessly bump this thread until the end of days. (Also changed my profile to 286. Will try on the double reactive outfit for a while and see what's up.)

Any skirt + joke t-shirt combo is a fav of mine. Bonus points for beanie or fancy socks.

My favorite subject in Elementary School was Art!

My signature is serious. I am definitely looking for someone who is well versed in Socionics to give me a typing. I think if I have an understanding of my own placement within the schematics of Socionics, I can understand it all better as a whole.

I added a poll because everyone else has a poll and I want to be included. Also only including extroverted types because I highly doubt that I am introverted ANYTHING.

I would join the Squad in Democratic party except I won't beat around the bush. Alternatively, I would bring left wing values to the Libertarian Party.

I am no stranger to bullshit corporate speak. I am also no stranger to bullshit face saving. There are so many ways that I can accomplish my goals and with you, the American people by my side, we can win this fight together! Justice will prevail!

Libertarian Socialism seems like a good fit for you.

Social 8 = countertype 8

You're also heavy on 7, even more personable most of the time

Edgelord head types (especially male ones) gave 8 a purely bad and not nuance name on the internet because they need to bully people, intimidate, etc. They struggle with fear afterall

You're angry at the abuse of the vulnerable and innocent in the world, you hate passivity toward that
You're a straight shooter, 2's manuever and manipulate
You prioritize honesty and justice over being liked

Where do you recommend I learn about countertypes? I've only ever heard of cp6.

Where do you recommend I learn about countertypes? I've only ever heard of cp6.

Subtypes in general are worth looking into (among them you'll find the countertype for each type), the type and IV inform one another:

Naranjo Subtypes | Enneagram Of Personality | Seduction
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...wqsBegQIDxAE&usg=AOvVaw1lvODDYRD_ldb8TZ06TDu4 (There's 5 parts to this, will not be posting them all but I recommend looking them up)
The Enneagram of Life Paths - Enneagram Monthly
https://www.integrative9.com/enneagram/27-subtypes/ (The short and sweet version and mostly accurate from what I've seen)
And some of Beatrice Chestnut's writings on subtype are not bad either though I've seen some inconsistencies there if I remember correctly

Also, if your foundation is based on Riso and Hudson or Palmer throw that all away
Read Naranjo's Character and Neurosis
He is the primary source, he brought the enneagram to the West
Those three are his students, who published what he shared with them about his theory without his permission and watered it down immensely if not completely misinterpreted it in the process
I think people (even novices) should skip them though they are more accessible for the layman and go straight to the psychologically and intellectually more rigorous Character and Neurosis so they can understand the most important thing about this: finding out your type in these systems isn't simple, a walk in the park on a sunny day, or a stamp on your forehead that will tell you who you are...so they can ask themselves if they really want to do this (I agree with the Objective Personality people on this)

The history behind the theory is also important because it helps discern what is a good source sometimes

It's refreshing to see someone eager to learn, good luck with your type
