That's the only logically, structurally, conceptually flawless way to break down each type, wing and stack. If there was a better way to do it, I would do it. There's not. After you learn, relearn and/or refresh your knowledge as to each gestalt, feel free to move on to my piecemeal descriptions (posted on this sub-forum). R & H's descriptions entangle multiple types into single types. The Fauvres simply mainstream multiple personality disorder. My descriptions stay a lot more pure to each character type's principle of unity. Here's the gestalt for each enneagram character type as discovered by sifting through over 2,000 examples of real life people; the 2500+ youtube list shows you what those gestalts actually look like in reality.
Type 2: the seductive gestalt.
Type 3: the self-confident gestalt.
Type 4: the masochistic gestalt
Type 5: The self-sufficient gestalt
Type 6: the self-protective gestalt.
Type 7: the rebellious gestalt.
Type 8: the aggressive gestalt.
Type 9: the leisurely gestalt.
Type 1: the rigid gestalt.
Type 2:
the seductive gestalt
Core Strategy: Winning people over
Core Distortion: “I am not capable of validating myself.”

Type 3:
the self-confident gestalt.

Core Trap: Weaving together new fantastic rationales for their circumstances in order to recast themselves as the star.
Core Vulnerability: disdain from others
2 wingers are hyper-competitive, bragging, skilled at gamesmanship, and political (they know how to work and motivate people).
4 wingers are poised, calculating, efficient and oriented towards outward self-improvement.
Type 4: the Masochistic Gestalt.
Core strategy: Emotional Intensity
Core Distortion: "I am an Ugly Duckling; defective"
Area of fixation: Self-Absorption
Core Action Set: [withheld for the time being]
DSM Correlate: Masochistic Personality Disorder

More to come...
