Thank you Timeless. Are you trying to win MOTM a second time?

You, sir, are a genius.

Great work, you would be and possibly are a good educator.

I enjoyed reading your article, you have good understanding. The “Holy Idea” of Type Nine is love; I think people could Handel a bit more meat on the bone.

I think it relates to the receptive state, reconciliation and an affirmation of one's own goodness within a contextual awareness of the Devine or sacredness of Creation, being experienced.

A union of the anima and animus with in the self’s perceptual awareness. Awareness free of a subtotal ignorance and sullied bias, with in cognition.

Great work, you would be and possibly are a good educator.

I recently finished a series of Enneagram articles. I was dissatisfied with most Enneagram descriptions, because they often consist of nothing more than a laundry list of traits with little reasoning behind them. For a long time, I was turned off to Enneagram because it didn't make sense. So I recently decided to write my own Enneagram articles that would start off with the most basic elements of the personality and then move up to the outward traits that we all know and love.

Just curious, timeless; you describe all possible mbti-enneagram combinations like ISXJ 7s - did you really meet people with that combo or ?

timeless · Aug 25, 2011

Some of it is based on people I know, and some of it is based on logical extrapolation from known data.

Liontiger · Aug 25, 2011

These are seriously amazing. Thank you, timeless.

Inspire · Aug 25, 2011

So do you know ISTJ 7s?

timeless · Aug 25, 2011

Maybe. There are some people who I think are ISTJ 7s but I'm reluctant to type people on Enneagram based on superficial characteristics since the system is so complex. It's possible to get someone's MBTI type quite easily but Enneagram is a whole different story. So basically, I know ISTJs who I think could be 7s.

I completely agree with what you said about how the Enneagram used to not make any sense to you, I feel completely the same way. Perhaps these articles could help me in finally ascertaining my EA type, they are certainly extensive enough. Thank you! :happy:

InTheMood · Sep 7, 2011

Useful article, thank you!

Sequestrum · Sep 12, 2011

Thank you very much for this. I have only recently been exposed to the Enneagram types and wings and I have to say, it was definitely confusing. Your approach to this clarifies things greatly. I truly appreciate it!

Dalien · Sep 30, 2011

Timeless...you chose your profile name well! I've learned much with this series. They helped me to figure myself out more than before. I knew I was a 4 type and 9 kept coming into play. I couldn't grasp 6 or 7. Now, with much reading and deep consideration, I realized I was confused with 6 and 7, because I had my tritype in the wrong order. 4/6/9 and still working the wings. Thank you!

Back to the ENFP and 5 thing, John Lennon always struck me as potentially one of those. I say this not because I want to get into a typing John Lennon situation, but because I feel like you can really see the Ne/5 combination in him, coupled with arrows to 7 and 8. I could see Patti Smith being this combo, too. To speak hypothetically.

Tatl33 · Dec 30, 2011

This is the exact type of information that many articles lack. Thanks for going into more depth than most articles do, and explaining it in better ways.

Much appreciated

Andonio · Jan 4, 2012

Thanks for the effort. This is really informative.

Saffology · Feb 16, 2012

Loving this! Very helpful.

Ember · Jun 6, 2012

@timeless can you sticky this in the Enneagram forum?

Hugty · Jul 1, 2012

Wow, this is amazing. Thanks timeless.

Normality27 · Jul 19, 2012

almost made it

I don't know how I got here, I'm lost, can not find my way out and beginning to distrust this place. Soon I will give up and probably regret any information I gave or received.

Jany03 · Oct 20, 2012

Thank you, it seems helpful for me.
