An illusory perception of a parent, expectations from parents which could not be fullfilled could be part of any personality. All the rest you are talking about like emotional and impressionistic language, chaotic and impulsive behavior which you have detected somewhere, his crying at the session, all can be seen with a 1 stressed at 4. Optimism and charm- same thing, a 1 can portray this at good times.

By the way, isn't this a person who is quite under stress and anxiety? Couldn't that also take him to unhealthy levels of 4?

And also, it is very difficult, I think, for a 2 or 3 to seek therapeutic help as easily as Rex has done this time and earlier as said in the text.

Actually, I've started thinking again it is very difficult to type without knowing more. I want to find out about the motivation and I tend to think it is not love or success with Rex although he has high ambitions for himself or some other 2/3 traits. He justs wants to be better than he really is. A better performer. He wants his father to better than he really is- strong and powerful. And that would make him a 1 stressing at 4.

: Rex tries to be a Superman (be good in everything) to seduce the important person in his life father; explicit and almost erotic love affair in which Rex doesn't see easily that the 'love' is not there in the other person (think of pedohile persons thinking the child wants sex too). Rex is dramatizing things in reality in a way that makes him important; he wants to be the adored center of attention, he has emotional and impressionistic language, shows easily emotions (that alone excludes E1!) like crying and anger, is chaotic and impulsive, is insatiable in his need for receiving love, he's easily moved, charming, extrovert, optimistic. Does that sound E1-ish to you? I think he has so many histrionic traits that (unhealthy) E2 could be the answer. E1's are emotionally closed and task focussed.
