I thought I'd make a thread about wings. I'm sure most people are already aware of the concept, but for the sake of solidarity, a quick and dirty preface...
In enneagram, there's talk of wing theory. Basically, you are your type plus influence from neighboring types adjacent to you. So if you're a 1, then you have a 2 and 9 wing. I believe the theory is while both neighboring types have some influence with how the core type operates, there is a dominant wing that has the most influence. I was wondering what everyone's opinion on opposing wings are? Like someone you know with the same core type, but with different wings. Do they seem familiar to you, with only minor differences? Or are they totally foreign? Did you get along? Maybe you feel like you have more in common with others types. If so, why?
I just wanted to know what people's experiences are. I'll add my experience if this thread gets replies.
