I started this input on the forum on the risk of wrongly typing E2 as E4 and vice versa. I was wrong on the child case. I could have known: the child loved caring for animals but was too sensitive to help sick animals. New facts on 'child X';

- he lies to his mother about having nightmares (and jumping in the parental bed because of this 'torment')

- he gets low grades on purpose: wants to hurt his mother a bit and seems to like the negative attention he gets when she attacks him verbally (masochistic personality)

It's easy to get confused by the E2 and E4 archetypes because they both are dramatic in order to get attention; this seductiveness they share however is a seduction by giving with E2 and seduction by an 'poor me' aura with E4. This leads me to the conclusion that 'child X' was an E4.
