enneagram and American values

[powerrainbowcrystal]

Does American society value type 3 or type 8 more?

For American culture I think the types are valued in this order (from shittiest to most valued):

1. 4
2. 9
3. 6
4. 5
5. 2
6. 7
7. 1
8. 3
9. 8

No, 3 wins. As the type itself suggests

The second most valued type is 7, pursuit of happiness. And only then there's 8. Trump brought out all three of them, jackpot.

Agree, free market economy values enneagram 3 the most.

As far as I've read it, America actually started out as a 1 which I find pretty interesting as well as plausible.
