Which Etype do you feel is the most useless?
I tend to say Enneagram 4 ...but then again, many artists were E4s , so it doesn´t necessarily have to be "useless".
An 8w7 here who doesn't think that 4 is useless because having it in my trifix makes me love anger like a masochist and makes me extremely intense.
Most useless type is 9, even their fixation is sloth.
Mmm, I like 9swe get along pretty unstoppably. The crown of the Enneagram! There's a shit ton of amazing 9s in the musical world, and the only guy who could play a song I wrote better than I could is E9. I don't even wanna play the song anymore myself, it no longer feels like it's whole when I play it. And hey, no drama between me and E9s!
And as for E4s and artists, one of my more frustrating experiences was with a likely 4w5 guy. I got a nice, solid drum beat going, something he could absolutely do anything to. He strummed on his guitar, and these ragged, frayed chords came out of his amp for a few seconds, and then he started dicking around with the knobs on his amp for god knows why. This process repeated itself for hours, and the resulting music was so bad that it sapped the life force right out of the other two people in the vicinity. Despite the roaring noise, they passed out. The music only came together twice. Once, for a few seconds of a Strokes song, which had about as much groove and fluidity as a brick tumbling down the side of an Aztec pyramid. The second time it came together was for a song he wrote, in which his guitar let out its same dry, lifeless, choked death rattle, and then he bellowed the word "PAIN" in a melodramatic, quavering baritone, stretching the word out for fifteen entire seconds. Unbelievably terrible. That was the first and last time I ever dragged my drum kit down into that guy's basement.
