Enneagram behaviors that correlate to the functions

[Azure Flame]

Edited:
I apologize for making a horrible thread. I layed it out as a statement of absolute belief when that wasn't my intention. I'll try this again.

Do you think its possible that some traits of enneagram personalities are incorrectly attributed to enneagram? For example: if enneagram say something like, 8's have expansive energy, I start to wonder what socionics functions would also describe a sort of expansive energy. I start to think, Se rises to meet challenges, and Fe also has a sort of energy thing to it.

So do you think its possible some enneagram traits are attributed to enneagram when they shouldn't be? What do you think those things are, and why?

[Ryan]

I noticed that you attribute energy, when referring to people, to Se. I would say that's more likely to be Fe.

I get the feeling that DJ does not really know his stuff, not just yet....

[fen]

these are all really bad generalizations

[Darkworker]

Even though what you came up with here is perfectly logical due to your Ti, you fail to include all the factors and this is why your theory sucks balls.

I will give you one example.

E5: unconfident in taking action until all facts have been accounted for... Ti dominance and their need to form a watertight conclusion before moving on to the next theory.
Not all fives are Ti dominant. There are Ni dominant fives, there are Si-Te fives, Ni-Fe, and even Fi-Ne. Therefore the pattern enneagram describes is good and legit, because it is a pattern that even Ethical fives have.

That's hard for me to understand but I'll check it out.

You're interesting DJA. I've been noticing something in your threads/posts. You're not very solid in anything you say are you? It seems like you throw things out there in the hopes that other people will poke and prod and correct it and make sense of it. They're not fully developed ideas that you've really thought through, just some vague formless thing, that you seem to hope takes shape through the process of discussing it. I remember that being connected to something . . . but am in tired fog-land and can't recall exactly what it was. Testing different things to see what finally works . . . damn what was that? Anyway, through the course of your threads your opinion seems to change very easily, and switch to something else - but I think it's more that you're just checking different angles to figure out the answer.

- this particular enneagram idea needs a lot more work before tossing it out for discussion btw.

Holographic Panoramic needs to see the idea from other perspectives before completely understanding it.

ps: thanks for at least having a critical mind and not just immediately dismissing the thread.

holy shit arendee you are still not a fucking E8

I always thought he was a 6. Does he seem like one of your kind to you?

[Galen]

Any head type, particularly 6, seems muuuuch more likely imo too. It would better explain what you're seeing about him just throwing stuff at the wall without any great sense of confidence in what'll stick, and waiting for other people to chime in and give external confirmation. Very attachment triad in that sense.

No, holographic-panoramic can test the idea in "its own mind" lots of times before opening up. Just think about ESIs and LIIs...they are very rarely wrong (when well-adjusted), their opinions are extremely parsimonious.

The approach very well described by squark is your typical vortical-synergistic, which finds in holographic-panoramic its duality: vorticals randomly throw out ideas, holographers very critically analyze them.

oh PALEEZE

If I had a nickle for everytime an LII was wrong, I wouldn't consider myself unemployed. That is the biggest load of horse shit I've ever heard.

Quite true.

DJA, since we have all the time in the world, and because enneagram and socionics have no direct correlation, I suggest approaching this in a series of threads that examine one e-type each and how it might manifest in conjunction with a range of likely sociotypes. This method compartmentalizes the workload into more easily-defined and -achieved goals, i.e. the development of subsystems that can eventually be collected and edited for integration in an over-arching essay or article covering the full sociotypal-enneagramic double rainbow. That way, interested respondents to such a project aren't just presented with a half-built something-or-another atop a pile of spare parts and told to assemble it all into a working machine. Give it a shot and see how it goes.

That's smart as shit. I think he should do it.

lol! ok I suppose I could change the layout of the thread to just a simple question to start a discussion instead of putting my own half baked ideas on the table for people to get confused over.

This is a common problem with me.

I've reworded the original post, I hope that helps.

[Azure Flame]

yeah you're all wrong as hell. You can point out every non-8 behavior I have its not going to change, probably because I'm a huge twat.

I'd appreciate it if you all actually listen to what I have to say for a change instead of ignoring everything that comes out of my mouth.

@Galen...Inability to think for myself has nothing to do with enneagram, it has to do with extroversion/introversion. My need for other's perspectives stems from weak Ne and weak Ni. Its not a form of validation seeking behavior, its a form of blindness, and I am asking that you please lend me your eyes.

@Ashton... drop your beta male insecurity for god sakes. I'm not going to steal your thunder or whatever the hell it is you're afraid of. You keep bringing it up. I would look into yourself for an answer as to why it bugs you so much instead of pester me through all my posts. If none of those reasons fit, maybe you should go get some fresh air.

That's a load of shit and you know it. Look at the patterns of any other Se type on the forum, hell even between Ne types, there's 0 correlation between Se/Ne types on here and what you're describing. Several of the E6s, on the other hand...

Its not a form of validation seeking behavior, its a form of blindness, and I ask that you lend me your eyes.

I'd rather you learn to navigate for yourself by other means instead of having to depend on other people to do it for you. If anything what you've just said about yourself is even more indicative of your 6ness.

[Azure Flame]

I see your point. Perhaps you're not understanding Fe, because that's what it does. My morals, and even others' experiences are extracted from external sources and metabolized into my own usable form when I'm alone. Another reason I believe Enneagram is assigning attributes to itself when it shouldn't be.

[Galen]

I see your point. Perhaps you're not understanding Fe.

Perhaps you should learn to stop making excuses for yourself.

What does any of this have to do with morality?

[Azure Flame]

I don't make excuses. I don't live in denial. I know exactly what my problems are and I seek solutions to those problems. I'd double check yourself to make sure you're not projecting, after all, you are a 6, and that's what 6's do.

What does any of this have to do with morality?

I mentioned experiences as well. My thought process was that, when I make big decisions, I often go across multiple websites for many different perspectives. Then I weight them in my own mind and see who is the most correct. This, I attribute to Fe and holographic panoramic thought process.

[Azure Flame]

There's other E8s around here aside from me—you're just not one of them.

oh because you said so? I stand convinced.

[Azure Flame]

More because you've said so. We've had discussions about this before in a few of your other threads, and I've pointed out how your own statements & actions demonstrate you as E6 > E8.

You've done no such thing. You only accuse.

[Azure Flame]

You wanna go for a history walk?

sure.

[Azure Flame]

–Your family seems to be a point of neurotic fixation for you, feeling that they tear you down, etc. (suggestive of E6 issuez).

And I rebut that with the E8 theme of vengeance.

Low libido (suggestive of type cut off from gut/instinct center—e.g., E6).

where on the internet does it say libido is in any way related to enneagram? I have complained about having a low libido, but that is not a constant thing in my life. my libido is cyclical depending on circumstances.

The superhero self-image stuff.

SLE. Go read a comic book sometime.

[Azure Flame]

@Galen

Here is a paragraph on the holographic thought process. I overlay multiple sources of information until I see a complete and full picture. I don't like to make mistakes when I make big decisions. My lack of reckless decision making does not imply 6. And even if you were to imply that I WAS a reckless decision maker, you'd still attribute it to being a counterphobic six. Your argument is invalid.

This cognitive style has much in common with the holographic principle in physics. A hologram (optical) is a statistically recorded interference pattern made by two beams of light which are transmitted and reflected from a single source. Holographic technology allows us to obtain a three-dimensional image of an object. The hologram itself is an aggregation of stripes and spots exactly resembling the embedded object. The two beams of light are superimposed in such a way that every part of the hologram carries information about the whole.

In this way, by mentally superimposing multiple projections of the same object, Holographists reach a holistic view. To do this, they look at the image and select a desired angle of examination. Holographic cognition often utilizes the grammatical conjunctives: "or-or", "either-or", "on the one hand, on the other hand". It actively uses the principle of perspective; unrestricted choice in point of view. The holographic approach is a progressive approximation towards the purpose, or away from it, accompanied by changes of perspective. The holographic process is carried out as if calibrating focus.

[Gilly]

E3 is still possible IMO, it would have to be 3w4 sp/sx or sp/so.

[Azure Flame]

@Gilly... The only other personality I've considered based on some of everyone's observations has been EIE 8 So/Sx, which I think would be interesting to consider.

[Gilly]

No I doubt you're an EIE, or an 8. EIE 8 is like, Jack Nicholson.

[FDG]

ENTj 6w7

[Azure Flame]

ENTj 6w7

bahaha

I can't be the same as you, I'm too texan bro.

[Gilly]

ENTj 6w7

Ehhh...maybe.

Options I have on the table are:

SLE-Ti 3w4 sp/sx
SLE-Ti 6w7 sx/sp
LIE-Ni 6w7 sx/sp
LIE-Ni 6w5 sx/so
Long shot:
EIE-Ni 6w7 sp/sx
EIE-Ni 6w5 sx/so

[Gilly]

Nah, I don't think he's ENTj. I floated the possibility for awhile (along with the other 3 EXTx types), though on cam he's a fairly obvious EP type. Factor in the klutzy Fe-seeking shit he does, and I think EXTp is salient enough. And I'm increasingly inclined to believe he might well be SLE > ILE.

Yeah he has a Beta flair and while he is prone to some logical dissection and hypothetical roaming, it's not really evasive in the same way ILEs do it; it feels more like he's playing around by questioning and testing everything kind of openly (almost a lighter version of what I did when first started discussing my type on the forum, lol, although he doesn't barge head-first into people quite the same way I tend to) and not taking any of it very seriously while still skimming the top for infoz; 6w7. Probably SLE-Ti 6w7 sp/sx.

[Azure Flame]

Lets go! Keep arguing with me about my enneagram! I got enough brains for the lot of ya. Then when I'm done I'm gonna go eat cereal and masturbate.
