Definitely harder to get into, I think. Exponentially more rewarding for me, personally. It also took me some time to find my type and type variant. It's tricky, cause it's about the way our ego tricks us. I was like "I can't be a body type relating to anger, cause I've never been angry my whole life!" Because I'm fucking angry all the time and have built a defence of sleep around it lol. There's a few reasons one can have trouble finding ones type. One being that you're a 3, 6 or 9, who all have a built in motivation to change a lot depending on circumstances. Another being you're a so called countertype - your instinctual variant (self preservation, sexual or social) combining with your type to be reactive to it, which generic type description sometimes doesn't account for. Like social 9s often being workaholics trying to rub off their sluggish indolence, self pref 4s being mild and friendly holding in their sadness, social 7s being sacrificial and guilty about gluttony etc.TonyStarkPrime wrote: ↑Thu May 28, 2020 6:37 amI had some friends read all of the enneagram books and then all the books told me I was different numbers so we gave up on that one really fast
Uh. I could talk a lot about this. Especially when I should be doing work (Type 9 power weeeeeee)
