I realize that will confound you becasue you apparently subscribe to the stnadard wing theory which is entirely incorrect. The correct way to determine one's wing is to examine which is on'es second highest score. Sou nds obvious but to many it apparently isn't.
*****I would say that the wing is not a simple addition to the actual type. For example, 3w4 does not mean a 3 with some traits of 4. It is more than the combination of the two types. It actually is a unique type which you would not be able to figure out if you read the two seperate types individually.
This is defined as Emergence in science. The property of an entity cannot be explained in terms of the properties of its constituents. The whole is bigger than its parts.
You should know this as an aspiring scientist.
The types with adjacent wings are pretty well explained in Riso's book. How do you define a type with a wing from across the circle of the Enneagram? Can you give an example? Let us say my first score is 3, then 8 how would you define me?
