Removing Myself from the EII Roster

[Galen]

CP 6 also I guess. By that logic though, if I would type myself based on my enneagram, LII or ILI would make more sense for me as well. Had to look long and hard into that one to see how I turned around to be the quadra I actually liked the least initially. I still don't like how the descriptions of delta focuses so much on production and work on sites such as wikisocion, but I now have a better understanding why it is this way. I suppose failure to also mention what production and work really means more than in a broader sense is also a weakness, since production and work is not just limited to the work-sphere.

Type descriptions are gay, I don't give them much thought outside of simple beginner-style introductions.

Anyway, I would be careful to ascribe enneagram-related behavior to socionics. It just becomes confusing.

I'm not ascribing it to socionics, rather I'm pointing out an alternate conclusions for what Ryene has said about herself. By doing so, I'm emphasizing that what she's said about her self-perceived capacity to take of herself etc.
is in and of itself less ascribable to socionics and more of an E6 trope.

I definitely think there can be overlap and that enneagram plays a vital role in helping us to find our sociotype, especially when it comes to more unlikely match-ups such as mine, but the motivations are entirely different and this is perhaps not always easy to recognize without long and hard personal introspection sessions.

You haven't been around for very long, so I don't anything about you or your types in any system. I'm still of the opinion though that as a rule, E5 and XXFx don't match.

I for example read some description of a famous actor the other day, I think it was Marlon Brando, who was typed by the author as an LIE with absolute certainty to booth. However, what really struck me was how the description Marlon Brando didn't sound so LIE as much as it sounded sp 8 to me to the point it was eerily uncanny. Whether Marlon Brando is an sp 8 or not I do not know as I haven't looked into his type at all, but I thought it was one of those typical examples where two entirely different systems overlap nonetheless *snickers*

Don't know much about Brando either, although I would have pegged him as 3 > 8 or some shit.

Of course, when it overlaps, it's rather easy to type yourself because it tends to strengthen the "stereotype" aspects of your character as to make it more recognizeable based off the type descriptions one reads on the internet and elsewhere as they too tend to be rather stereotype, but when the types are contrary it sure as hell becomes confusing at times. I know

The problem with this approach though is that if your understanding of either system is too steeped in such stereotypes then you've already defeated the purpose of learning about them in the first place. Whether you agree with them or not, both socionics and enneagram have much greater depth to them then simple behavioral stereotype descriptions.
