Enneagram Type 4 Board Archive Re: 4w7???Posted by isaac on April 14, 2002 at 11:43:53: In Reply to: 4w7??? posted by Rosie on April 14, 2002 at 01:46:22: read the TEXT that comes along with the test result. it says, no doubt, something to the effect of this: "your main type is LIKELY one of the top two or three scores. your wing type is LIKELY the type next to your main type with the higher score." what that means is that, if your scores are like this, for example: 1-3 4 and 7 are the highest two. that means that you are likely a 4 or a 7. IF you are a 4, you do not have a 7-wing. you ahve either a 5-wing or a 3-wing. the wing is ALWAYS one of the two types next to your main type. this is not some bizarre enneanazi position i'm positing here. it's the commonly accepted view of all of the reputable enneagram authors i've read, from ichazo and naranjo (who developed the wing concept) down through riso/hudson, palmer, and hurley/dobson. judging by this test (assuming it's reasonably valid) IF you are a 4, you would more likely be a 45 than a 43 (5 had a higher score than 3). if you are a 7, then this test result indicates a higher chance of being a 78 than a 76 (8 had a higher score than 6). so, you can come here and claim that you're a 4 with a 7 wing. but the very term doesn't make any sense. please don't claim that the test is indicating that, because it isn't. that's not a possible result of an enneagram test, because enneagram tests are built on the assumption that you're using the standard enneagram model. you're misreading the test if you think that that's what it's saying, or it's not a very good test and should be avoided. btw, which test did you use? isaac
