For those of you who have been reading my earlier postings from when I first got here might remember I was questioning whether I was a 4 or a 7.... and then later I found out I was a 4w3. Well, it's wrong and I have finally found out that I'm a 4w5. It all makes a whole lot more sense to me now! The reason why I scored so high on the 7 is of course that my 5 wing is quite unhealthy and hence disintegrate to 7!
My 2 has been too high, too, which means my basic type, 4, also has been disintegrating ....What I have discovered is that I have been acting more like a 2/7 combo for many years (being under stress and acting out in the 4w5's unhealthy defense mechanisms). So...I guess I'm not as healthy as I would like to think, but at least I am on my way up from the unhealthy 4 at 2, and I have also quit acting like a neurotic, manic depressive 7. I would never have seen how my defense mechanisms work if it hadn't been for the enneagram. -I would probably still been running around in circles! Now I know why I have been acting like I have and this gives me a chance to change and improve. It will take time, I know, but at least I know now where I'm comming from and where I'm going!
Thanks to all of you for all your interesting postings, I really have learned a lot since I first got here. - And I have a lifetime ahead of me learning more of the enneagram and the mysteries of the human mind!
Keep shining! Bibi
