[sx] Does Sx/So 1w2 look like type 8?

[Avocado]

I'm wondering because while the Sx/So subtype of 1w2 fits my ESTJ mom, she seems pretty 8ish too.

Being an 8w7 yourself you may be more informed in this regard than I am wtf?


I think a good number of ExTJs will somewhat naturally have a bit of an “8 feel/vibe” to them...but 1s and 8s can both present with a somewhat detectable degree of anger that sits just below the surface with 1s registering with me as being far more frustrated and aggressive...sx 1s most of all which I attribute to the fact 1 is 7s stress point... but I’ve actually read this before. I can’t remember where and subsequently won’t get into it without a source...but I have most definitely read it more than once that sx 1s are some of the most frustrated the enneagram has to offer.

The way to tell the two apart... Well, again keep in mind that my answers are most likely way biased...but 8s are generally clever, down-to-earth, generous individuals with amazing senses of humor in spite of the underlying anger while 1s can be a bit stingy and righteous. It’s hard to readily laugh I imagine when you are so disgusted by the fact everyone is doing something wrong and need correcting...? 8s focus more on liberty and who is out to exploit and do others harm. While 1s focus their anger more on order/efficiency and who is out to break the rules/do wrong.

With a 2 wing your mom is also connected to 8 however insignificant that influence may be.

Type One — The Enneagram Institute

Basic Fear: Of being corrupt/evil, defective
Basic Desire: To be good, to have integrity, to be balanced
Enneagram One with a Nine-Wing: "The Idealist"
Enneagram One with a Two-Wing: "The Advocate"

Type Eight — The Enneagram Institute

Basic Fear: Of being harmed or controlled by others
Basic Desire: To protect themselves (to be in control of their own life
and destiny)
Enneagram Eight with a Seven-Wing: "The Maverick"
Enneagram Eight with a Nine-Wing: "The Bear"

Fears and desires are very different so you have to decide which is a better fit for her.

Starry and bechimo, I am changing my type back over to ENFP 7w6 Sp/So since only that type and 6w7 of the same seem to fit me. Also, based on what you two said I can see both in my mom, though. What's interesting is I can see both in my punchy abusive stepfather (he's back, but hopefully I'm moving out in less than a year and I'll be free to sort out my own issues thanks to money), as well...though he has more hang ups. Both have sharp and rigid ideas about efficiency, and are very judgey about how things should be organized and how people should act (which they base on conventionality, religion, an efficiency, in that order)...though my step-father has the tendency to debate challenges to the status quo more with his fists than his words whereas you can talk to my mom a little (though it won't get you very far). She stays so frustrated all the time I bet she'll have a heart attack one day.
My mom cares in a way or she wouldn't be offering that high paying job to me. That said, she took down all the doors in the house for efficiency and because "you don't need privacy if you have nothing to hide" and she constantly looks through my phone history and internet searches and private things and gets mad if I try to take steps to create privacy for myself. "I have to know everything about you so I can keep you on the right path," she says. It was hard enough admitting I don't support her weird and repressive religion, but now she's found other private things and is trying to pick fights over it. I just want to go off and be alone a while, now. I don't even care about helping the community beyond for money, just get me out of here so I can stew a little, you know? I still have a scar on my wrist from when my step-father started swinging a broken bottle at me and I blocked it.
I used to have fairly high hopes for creating an ideal world free of suffering, now I see if I can just do well for myself, I'll be doing well. This world is NOT a nice place.
Also, this promise of money if I can pass this whole "trial by fire" has got me wondering: I'm being handed the money I've been chasing all these years in a fairly undramatic way...is this it? What do I do once I save up some money? Am I consigned to "normalcy"?

After this last confrontation with my mom a few nights ago, I've about had it...I guess I just need to wait on my release from this situation and see what life is like in less than a year. I've already helped the kids at the school as a Temp, and it seems WAY too good to be true. There has to be SOME drawback here.

Sorry I got off topic.

I want to understand my mom better because she is freaking WEIRD sometimes with all her hang ups. Her coworkers love her, though.

 

[rav3n]

"I have to know everything about you so I can keep you on the right path," she says.

That's about as unhealthy raging E1 as it gets.

I'm sorry to hear about your home life and hope you find a way out of this abusive environment soon.

 

[Starry]

Isn’t your Mom big into organized religion? Obviously there are no hard and fast rules when it comes to these things (unless you’re an e1 I suppose?)... but when putting all of the pieces together this would be another tick mark under e1 in my understanding/experience. The theme here is order, tradition, right and wrong, good and evil... a structure that is likely to feel too constricting/controlling/suffocating for the 8.

She is into the Jehovah's Witnesses, which is regarded by sociologists and cult experts as a "high control group". She doesn't follow all the rules becuase all of her friends and familiy who were in have either left or have died. My mother's mother shunned my mother for 10 years because she remarried (three times) after my father died and when my mother's mother reported her violation of Kingdom Hall law to the Watchtower Society. A member of the Governing Body reviewed the case and deemed her "an adulterous whore, unworthy of mercy and who should be shunned," so my mother's mother acted like my mom was dead until my mom gave enough money and accepted a ritualistic beating to be accepted back "on probation" 10 years after she was disfellowshipped from the organization. I originally thought my mother didn't report then subsequently shun me out of love, but she later clarified I had merely exploited a loophole: According to Watchtower Law, if a member leaves the religion, they are to be shunned UNLESS they were left unbaptized. Since my mother was judged an adultress, I was considered too impure to join the religion unless I paid enough money and accepted a ritualistic beating, so lucky me, I guess. In theory, there are 3 sources of law for Jehovah's Witnesses, though in practice the Supreme Governing Body of the Faithful and Discreet Slave holds all the power: the first source is the New World Translation of the Bible (which must be intrepeted according to the divine insight Governing Body), the second source are the Watchtower and Awake magazines, and the third source is direct letters from the Governing Body, who hold hereditary power. Its a very rigid, rules-based religion, so its about as "hard and fast" as it gets. There were over 100,000 rules I had to memorize as a child...though I've forgotten most of them from irreverence.

I came from a very Orwellian world and Privacy and Free Will were not even concepts I considered good until I got more exposure to normal people. The only way to rise in rank in the organization is to be male, convert a certain quota of people into the organization per month, never go to college (as college instills critical thinking), and consistently report rulebreakers within the organization. My mother is in bad standing with the organization because she went to college out of desperation while she was cut off from family. The men she picked all were pretty much all physically abusive deadbeats, but when one would die, it was never long before she found a new one. All my step-fathers except the current one were Jehovah's Witnesses, and this is one of the less consistently abusive ones. My biological father was not a witness, but he was cleared by the organization for marriage because he was showing interest at first. By the time he decided it wasn't for him, my mom had already married him. I take after his curious, skeptical nature, but I'm not as danger-loving as he was.

@Starry By Jehovah's Witness standards, my mother is pretty impure and rebellious, though she is pretty rigid by everybody else's standards.

This raises the question, though:
Is she really an unhealthy Sx/So 1w2, or am I just seeing tgs unhealthy Sx/So subculture around her? I was even more of an unhealthy Sx/So 1w2 than she appears to be until I was 14 or 15, and even then, it took me till I was 20 to stop fearing I was broken or corrupted in some way, as you can remember from my post about wanting to be good.

Call me crazy but I suspect you still fear you are broken or corrupt in some way. Why? I'm not sure. If it were up to me I'd attribute my understanding to my profound insight that borders on psychic ability... But I recognize it may have more to do with everything you say in every post you create.


I don't know what the hell type your Mom is...but your's has always been obvious. Another thing you may not have taken into account is your own negative connection to e1 and how that has corrupted or altered your understanding of your Mom, yourself...and the world around you. From the little I have allowed myself to read on the topic of your Mom...I don't see why she isn't an e1. But I never lose sight of the fact you are a stressed-out, unhealthy 7...and whereas as an sx dom I am more likely to get all "holier than thou" when connecting poorly to 1...you get all "I suck, I'm bad, are you afraid of me?" <-And that makes it all the more tricky to get a true feel for your Mom's type.

IOW...I'm sure your Mom and your religious upbringing has a lot to do with you worrying about being bad. But it's a destination you would likely arrive at all on your own.

Let me guess: you had an e1 influence in childhood.

I have a hypothesis that children are usually the integration of their parents.

Edit: on a side note, my mom has looked at MBTI/enneagram in the past briefly and she identifies as Sx/So 1w2 ESTJ, and I've noticed she's pretty self-critical in her own way...over pointless stuff. Regardless, with all this money about to hit me if I just pass a few simple trials, my days of suffering will soon be over. Imagine that, Starry: I'll have enough money to do anything and get 3 months off every summer and a pension so I'll get to experiment and stuff. I've never had this much freedom as what I will very soon and inevitably have. My mom is freaking out like "its like you don't even care about the observation test in the middle" but honestly, I looked at it. I'll do fine. Also, it will be nice to have privacy and stuff. I'm working with the mild/moderate (55-70 IQ) kids. They are all pretty sweet. Also the part about being good/bad...there isn't objective good and bad besides what I arbitrarily declare good or bad, so there you go.

Did you understand what I was saying in my post? The only reason I mentioned myself was so you could recognize how a stressful connection to e1 manifests in me...because we are both 7s.

The entirety of my message is this: I think it is reasonable that you wish to understand your Mom in an effort to try and understand yourself but I don’t think it is necessarily necessary in that I feel that in doing so you are merely continuing to try and sidestep the pain that is just you...and you alone. Your own doing. For regardless of who your Mom is...or if you had a different Mom altogether or were raised by monkeys or kings... I think you would have quite likely still have ended up at “im bad...I’m doing everything wrong.”

And my childhood appears to support the perfection of what I say and fails your bad hypothesis as I had many enneagram influences during my upbringing...but 1 was fairly weak.

When you say pain, you mean deprivation, right?

No...I mean pain.

No...I mean pain.

That never goes away so long as I know I’ll die and I know I’m missing out...but especially dying. I’m going to have 47000 a year before taxes annual income soon...part of me regrets picking this teaching gig over going for the masters of social work and potentially making more, but damn, with 47000 a year minus only taxes, I can do anything. Everything will be alright, and its right around the corner. The mild/moderate retardation crowd I’ll be working with is sweet, too. So eager to learn.

I’d rather not wallow in pain if I can just enjoy food and drink and travel the rest of my days and not worry about it. I can’t fix it, anyway.

Edit: I should probably put this stuff on my blog.

And while you are at it could you put the above in a signature quote for the next time you and/or everyone else on the planet decides you aren’t a 7.

The thing is...is you are wallowing...you just don’t see it because you decide you are someone totally different every freakin day and proceed to design an entirely different life plan. The extent of the pain you try and fail to outrun on a daily basis is the cause of your profound distraction and gigantic mood swings. You continue to wallow and will continue on from here doing the same until you claim it.

I'm going to have lots of money soon starry. I can't access it yet, but its there. Also, till you unlock the secrets of immortality I doubt you can give me enough time to stop suffering.

I suffered a long time, though. This big mountain of money may be just what I need.

You seem to have overcome your suffering. Did you unlock some ancient wisdom I need to know about?

Of course I have not seen your mother enough to really say 100%, but this may help you tell. straight from enneagram's page.

Type One—Levels of Development

Healthy Levels

Level 1 (At Their Best): Become extraordinarily wise and discerning. By accepting what is, they become transcendentally realistic, knowing the best action to take in each moment. Humane, inspiring, and hopeful: the truth will be heard.

Level 2: Conscientious with strong personal convictions: they have an intense sense of right and wrong, personal religious and moral values. Wish to be rational, reasonable, self-disciplined, mature, moderate in all things.

Level 3: Extremely principled, always want to be fair, objective, and ethical: truth and justice primary values. Sense of responsibility, personal integrity, and of having a higher purpose often make them teachers and witnesses to the truth.

Average Levels

Level 4: Dissatisfied with reality, they become high-minded idealists, feeling that it is up to them to improve everything: crusaders, advocates, critics. Into "causes" and explaining to others how things "ought" to be.

Level 5: Afraid of making a mistake: everything must be consistent with their ideals. Become orderly and well-organized, but impersonal, puritanical, emotionally constricted, rigidly keeping their feelings and impulses in check. Often workaholics—"anal-compulsive," punctual, pedantic, and fastidious.

Level 6: Highly critical both of self and others: picky, judgmental, perfectionistic. Very opinionated about everything: correcting people and badgering them to "do the right thing"—as they see it. Impatient, never satisfied with anything unless it is done according to their prescriptions. Moralizing, scolding, abrasive, and indignantly angry.

Unhealthy Levels

Level 7: Can be highly dogmatic, self-righteous, intolerant, and inflexible. Begin dealing in absolutes: they alone know "The Truth." Everyone else is wrong: very severe in judgments, while rationalizing own actions.

Level 8: Become obsessive about imperfection and the wrongdoing of others, although they may fall into contradictory actions, hypocritically doing the opposite of what they preach.

Level 9: Become condemnatory toward others, punitive and cruel to rid themselves of wrongdoers. Severe depressions, nervous breakdowns, and suicide attempts are likely. Generally corresponds to the Obsessive-Compulsive and Depressive personality disorders.

Type Eight—Levels of Development

Healthy Levels

Level 1 (At Their Best): Become self-restrained and magnanimous, merciful and forbearing, mastering self through their self-surrender to a higher authority. Courageous, willing to put self in serious jeopardy to achieve their vision and have a lasting influence. May achieve true heroism and historical greatness.

Level 2: Self-assertive, self-confident, and strong: have learned to stand up for what they need and want. A resourceful, "can do" attitude and passionate inner drive.

Level 3: Decisive, authoritative, and commanding: the natural leader others look up to. Take initiative, make things happen: champion people, provider, protective, and honorable, carrying others with their strength.

Average Levels

Level 4: Self-sufficiency, financial independence, and having enough resources are important concerns: become enterprising, pragmatic, "rugged individualists," wheeler-dealers. Risk-taking, hardworking, denying own emotional needs.

Level 5: Begin to dominate their environment, including others: want to feel that others are behind them, supporting their efforts. Swaggering, boastful, forceful, and expansive: the "boss" whose word is law. Proud, egocentric, want to impose their will and vision on everything, not seeing others as equals or treating them with respect.

Level 6: Become highly combative and intimidating to get their way: confrontational, belligerent, creating adversarial relationships. Everything a test of wills, and they will not back down. Use threats and reprisals to get obedience from others, to keep others off balance and insecure. However, unjust treatment makes others fear and resent them, possibly also band together against them.

Unhealthy Levels

Level 7: Defying any attempt to control them, become completely ruthless, dictatorial, "might makes right." The criminal and outlaw, renegade, and con-artist. Hard-hearted, immoral and potentially violent.

Level 8: Develop delusional ideas about their power, invincibility, and ability to prevail: megalomania, feeling omnipotent, invulnerable. Recklessly over-extending self.

Level 9: If they get in danger, they may brutally destroy everything that has not conformed to their will rather than surrender to anyone else. Vengeful, barbaric, murderous. Sociopathic tendencies. Generally corresponds to the Antisocial Personality Disorder.

Level 5 on E8 and Level 6 on E1 both fit her...though I was tempted to say level 7 on E1 at first...though that's more just with me and her closest relationships.

In her work evironment, she looks like a level 3 on E8 and a level 5 on E1
