Integral Philosopher
There are no "subtypes", that is an invention of speculation. 5 is Adaptation Instinct, not conservation. I have studied this since the early 70s with the Arica School of Integral Philosophy as well as been initiated into Mevlevi Sufism, Kashmir Shaivism, Internal Martial Arts and Tibetan Buddhism.

Yes, that IS what Ego Fixations are and what the Enneagram is actually about, suffering. The original purpose of the Enneagram is to help one transcend suffering into the state of Enlightenment. So your response is rather appropriate, actually.

The original work is based on a complete model of the human psyche. The rest are just personal ungrounded speculation derived from an incomplete passing of the original work given by an early student of Ichazo. Most people don't know that but I have studied it since the early 70s and so do know it.

The Enneagram is based on the 3 instincts so we have 3 not just 1. 1 Conservation (gut instinct) 2 Relations (heart instinct/friend or foe) 3 Adaptation (head problem solving). What others call Enneagram is plagiarized, altered speculation of ego suffering www.arica.org/books/enneag...
ENNEAGRAM KNOWLEDGE, THE INTEGRAL TEACHINGS BY OSCAR ICHAZO
Using the Enneagram of the Fixations, we can learn what controls our life & its ongoing process. Ichazo traces the Enneagram figure back to Pythagoras.

7. The Idealist
3. The Displayer
8. The Moralist
These are mechanical ego suffering and as such each "personality type” is actually the precursor to a personality disorder.

The Enneagram as most people know it, is plagiarized and altered from a system that helps in the attainment of pristine Enlightenment (as in Buddhism). “Types” are actually precursors to personality disorders: www.arica.org/books/enneag...

You're confused because you are working from something based on a partial and corrupted understanding of the actual Enneagram Knowledge so it doesn't match reality: www.arica.org/books/enneag...

Because that isn't how it really works. What you are trying to do is just altered speculation based from a partial and limited understanding of the original source of Enneagram Work. www.arica.org/books/enneag...

That's not how it works. All of that is just ungrounded speculation with no basis other than the original Enneagram of Ego Fixations which was plagiarized and altered into meaninglessness. I have studied this since the early 70s and know the real facts.
