Enneagram Type 4 Board Archive Re: Mustafa's answer; Social 7/Relational 4Posted by Ve on June 29, 1999 at 07:27:05: In Reply to: Mustafa's answer; Social 7/Relational 4 posted by Ev on June 28, 1999 at 16:14:21:
: I don't think it's possible to be both a social 7 and a relational 4. If you'll look at the "self preservation" 4 you will discover that they seem to have an awful lot in common with a "social" 7. An individual from each group may actually experience the exact same feelings but I believe you will find that the motivations leading to those feelings were quite different. The enneagram reveals your preferred strategy for dealing with life and this core strategy doesn't fluctuate with our moods. If I'm happy, I'm a happy 4; if I'm sad, I'm a sad 4. : Now if you were to observe a happy four and a sad four you would see a great deal of difference in the way they appear outwardly. This doesn't say anything at all about how much or how little of a 4 each of them is. : My guess would be you'll eventually find that your core type is one point on the circle and your wing is one of the points that abuts it. : Comments anyone?? : Ev Hello again, For more information on similarities between 4's & 7's see Derf's post on the regular 4 board dated Sept. 19, 1997.
