You raise an interesting question to me: Which "geometrical figures" (Platonic "absolute forms?") representing the nature of a type are universal (though slightly fortifiable, I suppose, in consideration of individuality)? My current view: probably none of them, though the majority of them should apply in order for one to be referred to as a particular type

Funny, I have visual images in my mind for all types but I've never thought about simple representation in geometric forms. Probably since the visuals I have are far more layered and complex than that. Type 9 for example seems a lot like a bean bag chair. The shape conforms to the body of the person sitting on it... has a lot of roundness and gravity toward the ground (inertitia?). Color figures in too... a 9 is definitely neutral but also pure.

O.K.... so no, I can't imagine there is an ABSOLUTE or simple shape/form for type... but I do think there are visual-spatial themes for each type.
