Enneagram Tritypes: Do they exist?

[ashlesha]

they're not. opinion is mixed.

[Ryan]

Actually, it seems like that other forum you frequent is obsessed with it, I don't even see them use MBTI types anymore.

[Azure Flame]

@Ryan... yeah they do. I was curious why they're not the latest rage over here.

[Galen]

I think a lot of people here see tritype as just another excuse for someone to be bad at enneagram, in the same sense that DCNH is generally seen as a method only kooks who don't know what they're talking about use.

Also don't forget, Tritype is Copyright © 2003 David and Katherine Fauvre and is not to be discussed without their expressed written consent.

[Ryan]

probably because they suck, duh

but they were quite popular here, years ago, from what i've heard

the old guard still practice it in secret

er, speak for yourself?

[Azure Flame]

whats dcnh?

I thought DCNH was mostly rejected on here? I don't see that many people talk about it seriously.

whats dcnh?

a 4-subtype system devised by Gulenko: Dominant, Creative, Normalizing, Harmonizing

yeah there's not a lot of DCNH discussion, and some people may have dismissed it, but i don't get the same impression that it's widely rejected as a crackpot's theory. i think some people may not be sure how to apply it, and/or they don't necessarily see the need to use it when compared to other subtype systems.

[Azure Flame]

I used to be open to the idea that there are lots of subtypes, but I'm more convinced each person can be dominant in each of their functions at certain times in their lives depending on circumstances.

I like the DCHN system, but it really needs revision and or clarification. I am waiting for the DCHN version 2.0 before I really use it. It is a good idea, not ready for use. The idea is this: energy type and Socionic type are NOT identical. Thus not everybody behaves exactly like their type, as there are variations in the force they apply to each information element.

Basically, the idea is that a person could have an unusual amount of force projected into their Je Ji Pi Pe functions. If Je is given more energy, then Fe and Te are used with force. This is regardless of where Fe and Te are in their function order, thus distorting their type.

If Te is PoLR it is still "painful" for them to use it, but they do it just like people might go swimming in the winter. It hurts, but they do it.

The extra force is not an increase in the clarity of the information, although with the use of that IM, they should grow in competence.

This is one possible reason why people can be hard to type. I think it makes sense. It needs a revision to use better.

Since you said "irreguardless" your entire post is dismissed.

[DirectorAbbie]

I like socionics and tritype. DCNH is iffy.

[Creepy-pokeball]

I'm getting the general consensus that enneagram tritypes are strictly forbidden in these lands. Why?

It isnt forbidden, but it is one of the topics for crankiness

[RedBeard]

Basically, I think a theory is only as useful as much as it helps you just get over yourself and move on.

"Tritype" seems to convolute that process by giving you a shiny star, a ribbon, and a scratch 'n' sniff sticker meant to make you feel special.

Yes. I very much agree.

[woofwoofl]

Sure. 368 = FRED DURST tritype. That alone makes it more than worth it. Things like triple assertive, triple reactive, triple rejection, triple anything; the more I got in the arsenal to identify once a vague impression hits me, the better, and being able to feel out something more wide-range like a tritype combination with no at-the-time definite permutation makes a hell of a lot more sense to me than choosing between the polarities of either a glorified wild guess or absolutely fucking nothing at all.

Would love for you to try my beta version of the more complete Tritype Personality Advantage True Self Enneagram Tritype test. I know you will find the glitches!

While our core explains much of who we are and our motivations, human beings are very complicated. One type can explain a lot, but in my experience with ennea, people relate to multiple types to an extent, so tritype helps to tie that all together rather than just someone just being one type and the other options being out of the running period. The strength of the fixes ties it together even more so, the last fix being present but having the least influence. Some may be more balanced with their second and third fixes, or be balanced with their first two while the third is on the tailend of influence. Relating to multiple types from the different triads, the different parts of our tritype can work together to make up who we are, and type integration/disintegration goes even more into this.

I have heard it said that fixes don't integrate/disintegrate, but thinking about the possibility of that happening, that would explain even more. I believe The Wisdom of The Enneagram mentions that everyone has a little bit of all of the types within them somewhere in the intro. Having prime energies from the heart, the gut, and the head, and having a dominant fix for each would only make sense.
