Type me before climate change destroys us all

[Number 9 large]

Tell me how he’s a Type 2?

 

His post and lifestyle scream Sexual 7... adventurous, reckless, all over the place...

The centres in Enneagram do not entirely correspond to the F vs T dichotomy.

7 is characterised by a streak of hedonism and reckless adventure (at average to unhealthy levels). They lack or ignore foresight (which rules out Ni ego). Their focus is on unfiltered engagement/perception with the external world, which corresponds to EP temperament.

An average to unhealthy SEE 7 will tend to recklessly follow wherever their hedonistic desires lead them to without taking into account future consequences (well enough; SLE is similar in this). Their hedonistic drive lacks Logic. They will tend to do things that “don’t make sense” just for the excitement of it.

7s can have a lot of energy which seems to be driven by mental energy, because it is fear-based, and the idea is that fear in “head types” is produced by too much or misguided thinking. 7 and Ti PoLR can go hand in hand with underdeveloped logic in that manner. SEE (followed by some IEEs) 7s do not want to think too much, they just want to experience life to the fullest, YOLO, in order to escape the dread of existence. But if they are unhealthy (and esp SX first), it will lead to (self) destruction and chaos. Better Logic would serve them well, it would create order in their chaos, which they tend to reject (being Ti PoLR), but which they do need on some level.

To sum up... the hedonism in SEEs is quite emotion-driven. They will use their good ethics to aid their lifestyle. They tend to have an exciting (or crazy) social life, huge network, travel adventures, and the like (all corresponding well with the ESFp lifestyle) . Like SLE 7s, their life lacks a holistic future aim, if they’re average to unhealthy they find it hard to commit themselves to one path. For 7s, their life often lacks order, structure, a streamlined approach, which can overlap with Ti PoLR. The other side of the coin would be an ILI 1.

He is seductive, merry, has good people skills, for me its easy because ive already linked Fe lead to type 2 and since hes too ungrounded for ESE (or SEE for that matter), EIE seems to be the only type that remains.

Seductive = Sexual first (and ExFx)
”Merry” = ExFx plus Positive enneagram Type (all 7s seem “merry” even as Fi valuing)
good people skills = ExFx plus Social instinct
ungrounded = EP

Where’s the 2’s obsession with approval, their pride in helping others, their need to be needed, them losing themselves in giving to others, wanting to look like a giver or lovable person (image) etc?

The weaknesses he mentioned all sound rather like unhealthy 7 manifestations to me, no signs of unhealthy 2 afaik?

Off topic but you should all check out the graphic novel Habibi. Over 600 pages but I read it all in one day. Pretty epic and powerful stuff.

as its an introverted function and esp in Fe subtype can be hard to see the brooding side of the character.

This is true. I have that side but it’s strictly private.

This is also true.

Interesting thoughts, everyone.
