Thats pretty accurate. It seems the social types do best with career and money earning and the like.
I think they build on one another like a pyramid, however they are also intertwined as no-one is a pure type
but uses traits from each one every day. they just prefer one of them a lot more.
> E-gram Sutype and Maslow's Hierarshy of needs:
> Self-Preservation: 1)homeostatic (ie. maintianing normal body temperature instead of freezing to death), other health/medical maintainence (blood pressure, heart rate, etc.)
> 2)safety and security (safety from people who can hurt, rape, assualt, rob, kill you, etc.) (saftey from harsh weather and mother nature as well)
> Intimate: 3)Love and belonging (collaborative mutual self-ego-support)
> 4)Esteem (collaborative mutual self-ego-protection)
> Social: 5)Self-actualization (accomplishing something worthwhile in the eyes of others to feel how you spent your time was 'worthwhile')
> 6)knowledge (sharing knowlege)
> 7)aethetics (sharing delights)
> E-type and main Maslow need preoccupation (highly UNscientific, INaccurate grouping):
> aesthetics: heart
> knowlege: head
> self-actualization: gut
> esteem: all?
> love and belonging: heart
> safety and security: head
> homeostatic: gut
> Feedback? Ideas?
