: I'm sure you've been wondering: Sure, I know my chief feature and my wing and my direction of integration, but am I still getting the most out of my type? Is there something more I can do to define myself by my type even more? Well, now you no longer have to worry...here are the ideal musical choices for each type:
: 1- Church music (the morally correct music to listen to)
Jazz, I have noted that ones like bouth happy and sad music depending on their mood.
: 2- Any music with subliminal messages (an excellent manipulation tactic)
Lovesongs ( a 2w3 once called me and sang the song "I just called to say I love you" over the phone)
: 3- Classical music (chance to show off your wealth and "good taste")
The enneagram literature does not give the 3 credit for good taste, but I think many 3-s have good taste compared to many types. My experience tells
3 can adjust to have any musical taste, but typical they like the best music in whatever genre they choose as their taste.
: 4- Country music (my wife left me, my dog ran away, a truck ran over my foot, etc etc)
Absolutly not, that are mostly 9 music.
Blues are four music. Music like chopin are strongly fourish. Sad emotial music for fours, but not country, that's resigned 9 music......:)
: 5- Free Jazz (...that way I can listen to music and not have to feel anything)
I know fives that like jazz music. Still I think ones and sevens are more likely to be jazz people. I think 5w6 are more jazz people and 5w4 more blues people.
: 6- Gangsta rap (bringing down da man)
6w7-s have this dammn rap thing, but I know of 6w5's with good taste.
Rap music are the worst I know of, I honestly think rap music are for people with no taste. I know someone who likes rap, and can't sing a single clean tone, but she think she does, I guess that's typical of rap lovers.
: 7- Sixties hippy music (I gotta be free...)
I think that are "out", what's in now are more modern dance music.
Of the types, I guess sevens and fives are the ones with that expensive stereo, and special built high end system.
Sevens also seems to like jazz.
: 8- Heavy metal (for intimidation purposes, of course)
I played in a heavy metal band, the types of the other people in the band was as follows : Bass, 4w3 self press ISTP (some times the bass played was absent I had to play bass ) .
Guitar: 7w8 social (ESTP), Vocal 3w4 (ENTP)(, Drums 9w1 (ISFP), the genius behind the synth : myself and unknown type.......:)
When I think of it...I know a 3 (ENFP) and a 7 (ISTP) who plays the violin, and have played it about the same time, and the seven plays right and have the talent to get good, but the 3 simply play false and don't have the ears to get good in playing violin...:) 9-
Easy listening muzac (a happy medium that will please everyone)
