It is all based on that darn Static/Dynamic Process/Result dichotomy. I am totally blind to information elements. I really cannot see them in action. I cannot tell Fi from Fe without somebody pointing it out to me. But I can see result and process really well, and a few other Reinin traits. I am still struggling with static/dynamic.

I am a result type. I am rational. That leaves ESE/LII/LIE/ESI

I am logical: So that leaves LII and LIE.

I cannot tell on the other Reinin traits to really narrow it down, but I would normally say I am merry, which puts me as LII. However,, I seem to be decisive, which is a contradiction as no type is Logical, Rational, Merry, Result, and Decisive. Also some definitions of merry serious make me wonder about being merry. So I might be an odd Enneagram 9 LIE. That would make me very laid back with my Te. (Yes, E9 LIEs are possible, but atypical.)

Plus, in Model B I would have Minus style Te, which is an interest in experimentation, risk and a scorn for "low profit" actions. (That fits me) But I am not yet ready to declare myself an atypical LIE. If I am an odd LIE, then my duals would be in gamma. I seem to always be around Se/Ni types in real life, but I seem to do okay with everyone except SLIs. I seem to have no enemies but SLIs.


The SLI problem has been unsolvable for me as an LII. They should be my beneficiary, but instead they react to me like a am a freak. They seem to think I am psychopathic, nutty, or creepy. The only description that fits them is supervision, wherein they see the results of my talents as being "magical." So they react with fear. They cannot fathom my thought process and so treat me like a crazed sorcerer. They constantly try to repress me. They always say NO, Stop that! My OLDER brother is an SLI. I sometimes try typing him as something else, in order to get the intertype relations to fit, but he simply seems very SLI.

SLIs supervise LIEs.

As an Enneagram 9, I do not want to "supervise" anybody, and I relate well to IEIs I know. I do not have any real problems with SEIs either. Only SLIs are a problem. I do not fit the "know it all" image of the LIE. I am not yet declaring myself an LIE.

There is no way that I am "process." Thus I am not an EIE.
