> Do you think this need for validation is out of a fear of abandonment or separation? So they develop means to attract that kind of attention that will keep them in union with other. How would you parallel this to ennea-types, if possible. I know from some readings, that the Nine is very likely to remain agreeable and extraverted to keep the union of others, which stems out of their fear of abandonment.

Hello Charlie:
Riso types FDR as a 8W7. Both the 7 & 8 components are very aggressive, FDR ruled by divide & conquer, even to the extent of giving the same general job, to several different people ( during WWII ) I don't think that FDR's charm was aimed at union. but rather to make friends, and to disarm threats to his control & power. I'm sure that in your reading that you noticed that FDR was widely considered a pleasant light weight even during the 1932 election.... He was good at hiding himself! Rich
