i noticed something common among egram discussions. people have a tendency to say that a person will have a strong and weak wing. ie, a 54 has a "weak" 6 wing, explaining the genuine 6ish traits that the 54 has. i myself am remarkably loyal to people in my inner circle. and that's not uncommon in 54s. i'm basically afraid, deep down, that we'll all be destroyed in some way. another 6ish trait. i have no tolerance for stupid authorities. and so on.

One trait I do find out of place in my personality is I have a protective streak… maybe even a herding instinct… think that’s a result (dare I say it) of being an oldest child and is somewhat 8ish. I can’t find anything 6ish in my personality at all.

now, clearly i'm not a 6. and just as obviously, if we WERE to separate out the 54s and the 56s, i'd be in teh 54 category. i have a big thing for aesthetics, for grim irony and minimalism and poetry, and lots of other froofy 4ish things. so why the 6ishness? i think it's something to do with the triads we're in together. that is, 567 are all fear motivated. and, similarly, 459 are all internal reflection focused, so a 56 will have some 4ishness to him. the thing is, tho, it's nothing that isn't already explained by the triads. and, if we WERE to abandon the triadic system, it would make sense to talk about strong and weak wings. ie, i have a 4 dominant wing and a
