5 subtypes

Posted by Dave on August 27, 1998 at 20:10:44:

There are 3 instinctual subtypes in classic enneagram theory"
Sexual/one-to-one
Survival/Self-preservation
Social

What about the Moving center that Gurdjief talked about? It's an instinctual or Gut center instinct, as opposed to the social which is an emotional center instinct.

Also, Wanger talks about an instinct of the head center called Syntony, the instinct for purpose and meaning.

So, are there 5 subtypes, and what is known of these other 2?
