I had somewhat idealised ones in the past. Not to be a negative person but
ones can be quite emotionally cold and judgemental.
This reads as social inenptatude. Actually it works against a one to be
so tight. Clearly they cannot think clearly or truly understand a situation like that.
Let me clarify this applies to average and unhealthy ones

> In psycology ego means that component of our psyches which defines who we are as individuals.

> In ennea language the types most associated with ego are 3 7 8.

> However if our type fixation becomes pronounced we may identify with it and cling to it with an iron
> grip. We define ourselves by it, therby becoming our ego fixation.

> I was just in a meeting with a woman who was gripping so hard to her 1w2 fixations she lost her case.
> Ironically she offended another 1w2 woman who has problems with ego fixation.

> Fortunately I recognized this and did not cling to my reactive fears. I stayed objective in service of the
> truth and reality of the situation. Therefore I won. Justice won. That is whats important.
