I wonder if there are any type tens on the forum.
[MENTION=10984]Azure Flame[/MENTION] I have considered if there was a missing number before. Still haven't concluded anything. But I would imagine it would be a fully enlightened person as you said. Not necessarily attached to any religion though.4
For sure. I'm sure there are examples for every type. I don't think this discussion works as well with MBTI types. Sorry, let's take it back to the enneagram.
There are so-called enlightened yogis in India who will display an intense level of balance rarely seen in others. You know, being in tune with both the physical and spiritual world and self. I could see that as the basic 10 type. They would simultaneously have the ability to influence anyone to do or give them anything, yet they would be so self-fulfilled that they wouldn't need to do this to begin with. I'm guessing people like Christ or Buddha might be such a super type--that's basically what a ten would be--a superhero, except probably minus all of the physical superpowers (although Jesus kinda did have those as well).
The idea that jesus was "just another whole person" is a statement emanating from the mouth of every person who's never read the bible for more than a couple days and are purpetuated by 'omg I'm the universe' pseudo intellectuals like alan watts.
Like most intuives, you can look at anything from whatever perspective you want. If you look at the bible as a source of fantasy, then that's all you're going to see. If you look at it as a book of truth, then the same applies. If you want to convince yourself that the god of the bible was in fact an evil god, then all you have to do is open the book of genisis and turn several pages and wham. God is killing people... which to any self righteous person is considered evil, especially if taken out of context.
Ever watch the movie predator, and when you go to tell your friends about how badass arnold swarzennegar and predator were, they say something like, "Oh yeah I saw that movie, that's the one where will ferrel dressed up in an elf costume!"
That is how I feel about pretty much everyone who says they understand the bible.
Hear me out.
I was reading the book of genisis and exodus, when it mentioned that "the LORD instilled in them the fear of god, so that they would serve him."
Enneagram 10: The fear of not serving god.
Basic desire: Serve the needs of god
The enneagram 10 lacks the fears of all 9 of the other enneagrams; and only fears the consequences of not serving a higher power to their fullest ability.
When unhealthy, this person experiences the fears of all 9 enneagrams.
Health and unhealth are motivated by alignment and recognition of a higher power and its control over the universe. This type is unrecognizable as any other type.
The fear of god motivates this type to shape themself and correct their behavior due to the flow of life. When fully formed, it has the incorruptibility of a 1, the GENUINE altruism of a 2, the excellence and exemplary behavior of a healthy 3, the unique expression of a 4, the knowledge of a 5, The awareness of a 6, the adventurous and playfulness of a 7, the invulnerability and strength of an 8, and the affability of a 9.
This is a fully enlightened person. Granted this has a christian slant but I believe it could apply to nirvana as well as some other religions and the basics of fulfillment.
What are your thoughts?

One of the defining qualities of the Enneagram types is that their fears stem from basic existential issues deeply rooted in the human condition and common to almost everyone. The fear of not serving God doesn't fall into this category; it is a fear specific to religious people.
Nope. Before further disinformation spreads: Hitler was into enneagram and he stated whit which type he identified with!Adolf Hitler must have been a type 10, just very unhealthy.

The fear of not serving God doesn't fall into this category; it is a fear specific to religious people. What makes it specific to religious people is not a difference in basic psychological makeup, as we would hope if we were going to make this an Enneagram type, but a simple difference in creed. If you were to take the personality of a modern atheist and put it in the world of 500 years ago, that atheist would be a believer, not because his basic personality had changed but because there was immense social pressure to believe and religion was infinitely more plausible in those days. His same personality would lead him to different conclusions and make possible an otherwise inconceivable fear.
The tenth Enneagram type, the one with the potential to outshine them all, would be the type whose basic fear is fear itself.
This actually kind of makes sense. I have heard a sermon before that fearing God erases all other fears, once someone realizes God is so big and so omnipotent, there is nothing else to fear. But I don't understand what would be the unhealthy side to it. Either someone fears God or they do not. It seems this is something outside of enneagram, more complete and perfect. Enneagrams have good and bad sides to them and this is the ultimate goal (for religious people).

Lol so according to your criteria, who understands the bible? Nobody?
