I can see how Jungian preferences present clearer indications of hemispheric dominance, but I think relating this to the enneagram is possible by way of the MBTI. People correlate Myers-Briggs types with enneagram types all the time. I also don't think it too far fetched to be able to relate this to some of the innate qualities of the e-types more directly (eg. two qualities of fours: their emotional natures/responses and their visual/metaphorical artistic inclinations are likely to be controlled by the right brain).

I most often hear Einstein referred to as a 5w4. I've also heard 9w1, but less frequently. You mentioned that Einstein's brain was highly lateralized. For argument's sake, I'll agree the majority of what I've read and say he was a 5w4.

I come out highly lateralized on these indicators and I'm a 5w4, too. Two examples aren't quite enough to make any kind of theory about 5w4s (or any other type, for that matter), which is why I was wondering if anyone else wanted to help me gather some more data by sharing their results or ideas.

Yeah, so I come up with a theory about it, so what? I guess I don't know that I have a purpose for it, I'm just trying to get involved on this board by talking about something that currently interests me.
