Er, I don't think enneagram theory embraces "no-type-ness" the same way
Myers-Briggs typology does. Even if you believe going all the way around
the diagram to be the ultimate goal of self-development, leaving one's
original type completely behind would be like having climbing to the top
of a ladder only to find that the bottom of it has come unstuck from the
ground and bent around to meet you. You're always rooted somewhere.
