Grimes (Claire Boucher) - musician

[Samson]

She is the poster child for ILE-Ne, and I actually think she is 6w7 and So/Sx

Se-things are her role

I don't think she's defended like core 6.

Could you elaborate on what you mean here? I would definitely be willing to consider other enneagrams for her.

So, type 6 is centered around being able to defend the self in this world, which of course can take many shapes (phobic, counter phobic, everything in-between). When going through Grimes' interviews and work, I don't see much of her style reflecting that kind of attitude.

Type 7, which I think is her main fixation, is easier to find. Lots of themes around running away from her fears (and "going" places) and losing herself in ecstasy (and party, and...) when everything else falls apart. Also, her body language does not betray much of a defended stance (which you may be able to spot in type 6).

This makes sense to me. Yes, I could definitely see her as a 7w6.
