Dave,

Good poitns that I agree with--howevr both Captains and Ryker each have 8 wings. As it is, many times wings develop as a result of the base type. Kirk was inspired by a serious8--Horatio Hornblower--but Shatner is a 3 and wanted to play KIrk more as a 3 and so the subsequesnt character.Picard is a perfectionist driven to change things and that culminates in him developing a huge 8 strweak with which he can channel his 1 energy. He desn't have an 8 wing becasue he's a captain, he's a captain becasue hea has an 8 wing. Finally, Ryker is primarily driven by a need to succeed which created the 8 wing--the best way he could accomplish what his base 3 wanted to accomplish.

: Most Starship captains appear 8-like because their position of captain requires 8 type drive. Therefore, ALL captains and most 1st officersappear 8ish in their role of captain, but that doesn't mean it's their enneatype.
: Also, Starflet is a 1 organization, so that flavor will be there also.

:
: : Interesting and I agree with many but here's mine:

: : TNG:
: : Picard--1w8 with strong 5 traits
: : Ryker--3w8
: : Data--5w4(no, he doesn't have emotions but he is aware he is unique, he feels he lacks something others have(humanity and emotions), and he desires to be human)
: : LaForge--5w4(he is primarily a thinker--he's an engineer--with a great deal of romanticism and a sense of uniqness and sadness due to his sightlessness)
: : Doc Crusher--2w1(she is primarily concerned with helping others and she has a huge perfectionist and moral streak in her)
: : Worf--1w8 with a 6 streak(he bases his life on honor,duty,loyalty, and order)
: : Troi--9w2
: : Wes Crusher--5w4(boy genius;travler calls him unique)
: : Barclay(did you know this is the guy who played Murdock on the A-Team?)--5w6(definitely a 6 not a 4 wing;extremely insecure with vicarious counterphobic behavior such as holodeck fantasies)
: :
: : TOS:
: : Kirk:3w8
: : Spock:5w4(all vulcans are 1's with 5 wings so you have to go past that and look at the individual--Spock is first and foremost a scientist and his 4 wing is evident in his torment over his dual heritage;aside from his natural vulcan oneness oness emerges as a result of his 4 wing as he strives to attain the vulcan purity and seek order in the chaos)
: : McCoy--2w1
: : Scottie--5w4(first and foremost an engineer--I mean this guy loves his ship--his 4 wing is evident in the way he romanticizes evrything, in his love of booze and women, and his cultivation of his accent;9 traits are appaent largely in his bonding with his ship
: : Uhura:2w1--wasn't characterized enough though
: : Sulu--5w7(first was an astrophysicist;later became a renowned adventurer and captain)
: : Checkov:9 is my assumption but he wasn't characterized enough--need to see some episodes again)
: :
: : DS9:
: : Didn't watch it enough to know

: : Voyager:

: : Janeway:1w2 with huge 8 streak--she is at her core a puristwith a greatd eal of compassion which compels her to lead
: : Chakotay:1w9--primarily a perfectionist concerned with values
: : Paris:7w3--a fun-loving maverick compelled to succeed in order to prove himself
: : Kim:5w6--primarily a scientist
: : Neelix--4w9 or9w4
: : The Doc--5w4(his defining core is his program like Data but has a 4 wing for same reasons)
: : 7of9:5w8 with 4 traits as she struggles with her identity

: : Maverick
