: I think 2's may be confused for 4's and 3's more often than not. 2w3 is a lot more emotional and hysterical than 2w1. That movie 'Chasing Amy' is about an extremely promiscuous 2w3. EXTREMELY emotional. Her romance interest is a male 4.
: 2w1's are infinelty more trustworthy than 2w3. 2w3 is totally emotional and image based. Twos are great people
--but the demands for attention they can place on others is often too much--
I wondered if I should put it on the board, but I think its useful for people who want to get to know the inner psyche of the E2: the child case I mentioned caused one extreme incident: when 3 years of age it tried to kill or at least seriously hurt its new baby brother by throwing it of the table...in order to monopolise the attention of the mother. The darker forces in the enneatypes are mostly not descibed in the popular books. However today he's a 'normal' boy. I've always believed that the border between healthy and unhealthy behavior is more vague than most of us would like to see it. Circumstance/situations can bring out forces in us that no one could ever expect to exist. When at the University, I studied the My Lai Massacre in the Vietnam War: quite 'normal' folks became mass murderers at an instance. Reality is more bizarre than even the wildest movies can portray. E4 Edgar Allen Poe's saying 'life is just a dream within a dream' is so true: whe live in a situationally determined trance (for example a work situation to which we adapt our behavior) which again exist within a trance (the enneatype bias/point of view towards life). Eery...
