Hmm...it seems like Airborne and LucidDreamz / anyone on the forum / ends up arguing over minutiae that have nothing to do with the actual debate. I wish I could just see two blog posts with all the BS cut out.
Oh and btw...I can believe *whatever I want* about tritypes.
I can be 9 and 2 and 8 for all I care. Having these traits doesn't sound unreasonable. Its stupid to think that one version or another of a theory can be *completely* wrong when it's a pseudoscience like this is. For the love of God, the enneagram is not a science at all. It's more like a tool for understanding. If you treat it like its something more, you get this BS. God, this post could go anywhere on the forums where this type debate is going on. What I want to see, is you talking about yourself, your feelings, and how the Enneagram reflects that, or your understandings of other people/things. Blog posts, people...blog posts!
