: In his well regarded book, Neurotic Styles, David Shapiro compares the obsessesive-compulsive and paranoid styles also showing the similarities in their cognitive styles, mostly in their intensity, rigidity, and focus of attention.
+++ The par is more continuous agressive and the obc seems to keep it instide untill the vulcano explodes; also the obc seems to be less narcissistic to name a few things which I think to be different.
: As to the failure of Enneagram theorists and writers to agree on the types, I think they're doing it on purpose! How's that for paranoid thinking?
+++ There's allways the (commercial?) need to make your contribution a different one (homogenuous products in a transparent market make low prices and low esteem of other professionals); also I feel that the enneagrammists discussions are allways 'nice'; an inclination to avoid the dark side (except for Claudio Naranjo).
