: I think Devorah-Leah gives really good advice when she says to concentrate
more on points of integration and disintegration than wings! I am a five
with a four wing (I score very high on four), but I also feel a great
affinity for six at times. What I think is much more revealing than
looking at wings is the integration and disintegration dynamic. As a
five, I disintegrate to seven, which though it can be a lot of fun
(especially for an otherwise pretty uptight five), can also be really
escapist for me. Before I learned about the enneagram I would have never
understood this dynamic. Now I know that when my instincts tell me to
go out and have another couple beers and just have fun (re:stick my
head in the sand and avoid pain, responsibility) I need to really examine
what's going on. As a four, you disintegrate to two, so that might
explain the four/two confusion. Do you notice that you're more giving/
accomodating when you're under stress?
