: Eh...lots of things. Are you saying that you *aren't* afraid of stuff?
: I wasn't intending to be inflammatory with my statement that FEAR is the central type for 5's. That is one of my currently accepted premises of the theory of the enneagram as based upon the books from Palmer and Riso.
Sorry, I'm melodramatic sometimes... 4 wing ya know.
: If there's some modification or alternative representation of the theory, then I'd be interested in hearing it.
: My understanding is: 891 are anger/gut, 234 are relating/emotion/heart, 567 are fear/head.
Yeah, but those triads suck and the language is particularly misleading. Riso kinda fucks it up with his description of 5s too. I'd like to write on this but I've amassed so much thought on this subject now, I really tire at the idea of the work involved in writing it out pretty. We'll see how my intellectual energy level goes the next few days. I'm investing in some creativity heavy projects this weekend and expect to be mentally drained.
