Highly relate to the five as well, especially lately.

Part of me relates a hint to the four, maybe just because I feel like a bit of a closeted creative at the moment. But someone mentioned my husband might be a four, and I can certainly see some patterns from the four in his behavior, but maybe more of the regressed patterns. Not sure he’s truly a four, and he has zero interest in these kinds of things and never feels like he relates to any of them.

Read through the Type 1, I’ve never tested as a 1, but definitely relate to a lot of what’s said. I would say my regressed state tends to move towards the more agitated qualities of a 1.

Oh good, I’m glad she clarifies that the adapted self is not sinful. David Benner was not so gracious to grant that clarity. Also, I like metaphors, but why does the “seed coat” one make my eyes roll a bit?

Oh good, we decided to use semantics as a tool to hide our duplicity. “False self” vs the “adapted self.” I’m half tempted to just skip straight to the enneagram shit.
