Introduction to the Enneagram Tritype

[EnneagramVIdeo]

The directions of integration/disintegration were suggested by Naranjo and later he said that it was just an idea and that he had not found that it was true. Neither have we in our research nor have other major Enneagram teachers. If you want to understand more, I suggest you visit our site an or take our tests. The Tritype actually is very simple, we have an Enneagram type for each Center of Intelligence: Head, Heard and Gut. So you are 4 in the Heart Center.

But what about the directions of integration and desintegration? Are they obsolete now? Are things not getting TOO complex with this Tritype 'angle'?! (which DOES sound very plausible).

I'm a 4w5. I use my 'thinking' a lot to imagine and ponder things to 'create' or continue strong feelings and emotions (like writing a screenplay). According to Riso & Hudson this is the way 4's tend to use their thinking (apart from being a 4w'5').

Could someone explain all this to me?!
