: : : 1 – Osho/Rajneesh was a Professor of Philosophy.
: : : 2 – He gave very intelligent, mentally stimulating, absorbing, extemporary talks lasting 1 to 2 hours every day for weeks at a time for many years. (These have been published as about 350 full-length books and they are not about the emotive ranting or raving that I’d expect from an E2ish guru).
: : : 3 – Basically, he got bored with being ‘worshipped’ by devotees towards the end.

: : +++ All these things don't exclude E2-ishnes
: && If you believe that, you sure have some curious notions about what makes 2s tick - emotional centre dominant, gut centre subordinate, intellectual centre repressed!

: .he was very 'quiet' and silently thoughtfull for an E7; don't you think?
: && Good point, probably introvert, not extravert.

: Any other forum guest having an idea of what is his probable enneastyle?
: : Jan
: : As one of his devotees i would say definitely 7; however with so many talks i would say that you could probably find whatever you like, his followers certainly did!
What struck me about his teachings was the "nothing succeeds like excess" theme. He went over the top with his methods especially earlier on. His grip of a vast number of philosophies seems E7 to me; he was not dispassionate as an E5 might be but more like into all of it. later on in his life I found him to be rambling and incoherent; he may have been sick (or possibly poisoned in US). i was close to him once and the charisma was enormous; again hard to square with E5. i think i would incline to NF over NT but the E/I issue may have been affected by health and circumstance.
As a 6w5 i was able to get in touch with w7 and cp6 which opened my stuck life out enormously; so I am very grateful for that.
regards, Andrew
