: I've noticed a tendency lately for people to resort to MBTI/Jungian
: analysis to try to explain things that don't seem to make sense within
: the enneagram.
Good point Geenius!
I wish there would be a pure enneagram message board someday.
Lynette Sheppard has one, but it's too quiet there.
This forum is actually a coctail of the enneagram and MBTI. And
the reason for that is obvious: the hostess of these pages,
Rebecca (9). She is a typology "generalist". Everything goes for
her. If you have studied her version of the enneagram (neo something),
you understand what kind of spirituality is behind this place.
It's OK, because these are Rebecca's web pages. But Rebecca (and
this forum) is very far from the real enneagram. As soon as I found
out Rabecca's "contribution" to the enneagram, I rejected this board
(and joined to the enneagram mailing list). When I need RHETI, I
take the test on Riso&Hudson's own homepage.
MBTI is a good counseling tool. I'm not against it. But some basic
facts are ignored totally on these web pages. MBTI has corrupting
influence on the enneagram. Enneagram should be married with NLP!
