If this is what the Enneagram wing scale really is, then it would seem I've developed in fact several direct correlates to it in supersocion theory. w1 = radical, w2 = saint

Obama's a w9, McCain a w8. Bill Clinton is a w3.

Just type (majoritarian) = 9
puritanical type = 8
field moralist = 3

All of which correspond directly to aspect relation patterns under model B.

Couldn't say anything bad about your duals, eh?

That was the first thing I noticed also. lol

I agree. haha

also, I think E9s do that push-pull relationship thing. that's not limited to E4s.

I thought 2s came across as having bad social manners, unless healthy.
