7's and Obsessive/Compulsive Disorder

7's and Obsessive/Compulsive Disorder


[ Follow Ups ] [ Post Followup ] [ Enneagram Message Board ] [ FAQ ]

I read Howard Stern the 7 shock jock was diagnosed with obsessive/
compulsive disorder a few years back.

A 7 I know has been diagnosed with obsessive/compulsive disorder
also. Riso lists unhealthy 1's as the strongest candidates for
obsessive disorders and 9's for compulsive disorders.
Keeping in mind 7's disintegrate to act out unhealthy 1 traits it
would be logical they may suffer obsessive disorders.

However, based on the symptoms the 7 in question displays (leaving the
phone off the hook after a call, the tops off 1 liter pop bottles,
and general forgetfullness) I would categorize these behaviors as
attention deficeit disorder.

Does anyone (particularly 7's) have any insights into this?
