Enneagram Type 4 Board Archive What do you mean by 'they direct it inward'? ntPosted by Tiggy on June 01, 2001 at 19:15:24: In Reply to: if fours tend to over use the feeling center and repress the instinctive center.how do they typicaly use the thinking center? posted by dean on June 01, 2001 at 17:13:43: : regardless of wing,say in a pure four,how do they use their thinking center? : here's my take on it.the only other triad that fours fall in to,to account for it,is the reactive group.just as 2s and 4s are opposites in the feeling triad,4s and 8s are opposites in the reactive triad.8s want others to be true to them,4s want to be true to themselves.8s are mostly critical of others,4s are mostly critical of themselves.8s fear needing support,4s fear being without support. : some of the defining features of the thinking center are security,strategy,apprehensivness(fear),belief,and criticism(superego). : i believe the need for honesty in 8 and 4 come from security in beleif,belief in yourself and others. : so to some up my thoughts i believe 4s primarily direct the power of their thinking center inward and 8s direct it out. : any thoughts? :
