With politics in the news with only a few more days to vote, I decided to repost my view of the politicians and the enneagram. But in addition, to post the view of a dear reader and her take on politicians and the enneagram.
Here was my take:
Barack Obama = Enneagram type 6
Michelle Obama = Enneagram type 1
Joseph Biden = the jury is still out.
John McCain = Enneagram type 8
Sara Palin = Enneagram type 7
With a few corrections. After hearing my friend and dear reader out, I would like to confidently change John McCain's number. He's not an 8. Although I'm still not entirely sure I know /feel what he is. And Sara Palin I now believe is a 6.
Reader's take (not sure you wanted to be identified):
Barack Obama = Enneagram type 6
Michelle Obama = Enneagram type 6
Joseph Biden = Enneagram type 6
John McCain = Enneagram type 3
Sara Palin = Enneagram type 6
I must add that the method I used is the Riso-Hudson method. Hopefully, I'll have more later.

Divide and ......Florish?
.
I have to start this post with a gripe. There are these cliched statements that I fear makes people think a certain way, and makes them unable to see otherwise. Statements such as:
Poor and ignorant. There are many countries where the population, even though they are poor, really strive to get an education.
Divide and conquer. Once there is division, conquering is inevitable? Always? I could tie this in with Hassadim and its constant need for unity, but I'll not.
I think there are instances where dividing is useful. I read a book a while ago called Eating Right for Your Type. It is about the various blood types and what food is better for what type. For example: a type O can handle meat very well, but not bread. A type B can handle dairy products the best. Type A is recommended to be vegetarians, etc.
Plus, learning about the Enneagram can help one point out their various strengths and weaknesses. It can also help pinpoint typical pitfalls in relationship issues and help one to avoid it!
Not to mention my "race" and gender, all these parts and divisions only help me to see the real me better.
So, is it wrong to have these cliched statements floating around? Maybe those are the typical groupings, but I hope folks realize that there are different.

Enneagram and Politicians
.
Though I am not investing too much interest, emotion, etc. into this season's politics, it is interesting to watch and learn about the dynamics of everyone. Here's my conclusion on their personalities:
Barack Obama = Enneagram type 6
Michelle Obama = Enneagram type 1
Joseph Biden = the jury is still out.
John McCain = Enneagram type 8
Sara Palin = Enneagram type 7
Okay fine. But how does it all play out?
Type 6s are great community leaders. I think Sara picked up on that in her acceptance speech. But they really ARE great community leaders! The only problem is that they have alot of anxiety and have a hard time trusting.
6s have two possible wings -or two possible influences: the 5-ness and the 7-ness. If they lean towards 5 personality, then they may be moody as well. If more towards 7, then they may be very active and involved in alot of activities.
Famous 6s:
Phobic: Jason Alexander, Woody Allen, Alan Arkin, Kim Basinger, Candice Bergen, Albert Brooks, George Bush, Lynda Carter, Stockard Channing, Rodney Dangerfield, Ellen DeGeneres, Eminem, Sally Field, Teri Garr, Ed Harris, Janet Leigh, Jack Lemmon, Richard Lewis, Penny Marshall, Marilyn Monroe, Mary Tyler Moore, Bob Newhart, Richard Nixon, Lena Olin, Anthony Perkins, Sydney Pollack, Paul Reiser, Pat Robertson, Rene Russo, Kristin Scott-Thomas, Carly Simon, Bruce Springsteen, Jon Stewart, Meg Tilly, Brian Wilson. (from THIS website)
Type 1s are also beyond matches when it comes to being organized, efficient, and getting things done --and right! They are probably the type that will have clothes folded and neatly put away, everything is square order, etc. But the only problem is lack of emotions. She may not be the huggy feely type. Why am I analysing her? She's not running for office. lol.
1s have two possible wings / influences: 9 and 2. If they lean towards 2, then they will use their efficiency towards helping others. If they lean towards 9, then ...I am not sure.
Famous 1s
Amish, Julie Andrews, John Bradshaw, Tom Brokaw, Susan Brownmiller, William F. Buckley, John Calvin, Cesar Chavez, Ong Teng Cheong, Hillary Clinton, Confucius, Crusades, Jane Curtin, Angela Davis, Michael Dukakis, Mary Baker Eddy, Dr. Dean Edell, Daniel Ellsworth, Harrison Ford,Jodie Foster, Barry Goldwater, Al Gore, Lillian Hellman, Katharine Hepburn, Charlton Heston, Inquisition, Glenda Jackson, Peter Jennings, Joan of Arc, Samuel Johnson, Dean Jones, John Kerry, Dr. Jack Kevorkian, Ted Koppel, Dr. Laura, Laura Linney, The Lone Ranger, Martin Luther, Nelson Mandela, Miss Manners, Thurgood Marshall, George McGovern, Arthur Miller, Ralph Nader, New Zealand, Leonard Nimoy, Gregory Peck, H. Ross Perot, Pioneers, Sidney Poitier, Pope John Paul II, Emily Post, Colin Powell, Puritans, Marilyn Quayle, Yitzak Rabin, Ayn Rand, Tony Randall, Vanessa Redgrave, Donna Reed, Cliff Robertson, Eleanor Roosevelt, Bernard Shaw, Singapore, Gene Siskel, Kenneth Starr, Martha Stewart, Peter Strauss, Switzerland, Margaret Thatcher, Emma Thompson, Harry Truman, Jack Webb, Joanne Woodward, Jane Wyman.(from THIS website)
Type 8s are SCARY! They make great leaders and run by instinct. And their instincts are usually correct. Their behavior is very interesting: They'll knock a guy out if they are offended by something; they are not afraid of confrontations -and probably even thrive on them.
8s have two wings/influence: 9 and 7. If the lean is on 7, then they'll be very active people. If 9, then again not sure.
Famous Type 8s
Afghanistan, Leslie Abramson, F. Lee Bailey, Joe Don Baker, Lucille Ball, Charles Barkley, Humphrey Bogart, Napoleon, Charles Bronson, Meredith Brooks, James Brown, Richard Burton, Johnny Cash, Fidel Castro, Sean Connery, Jimmy Connors, Robert Conrad, Brian Dennehy, Danny DeVito, Mike Ditka, Bob Dole, Sam Donaldson, Kirk Douglas, Michael Douglas, Milton Erickson, Indira Gandhi, John Huston, Chrissy Hynde, Joan Jett, Lyndon Johnson, Brian Keith, Nikita Khrushchev, Martin Luther King Jr., Evel Knievel, Bruce Lee, Rush Limbaugh, Mafia, Mao Tse-tung, Lee Marvin, Malcolm McDowell, John McEnroe, Golda Meir, Dennis Miller, Robert Mitchum, Judd Nelson, George Patton, Sean Penn, Fritz Perls, Julia Phillips, Julianne Phillips, Suzanne Pleshette, Queen Latifah, Ann Richards, Theodore Roosevelt, Axl Rose, Mickey Rourke, Colonel Sanders, Telly Savalas, George C. Scott, Maurice Sendak, Serbia, Tupac, Frank Sinatra, Grace Slick, Spain, Joseph Stalin, Donald Trump, Pancho Villa, Ken Wahl, George Wallace, Mike Wallace, Denzel Washington, John Wayne, Zorba the Greek.(from THIS website)
Type 7s love to be active. They want to feel everything, see everything, go everywhere, etc. They love to be kept busy and don't ever want to be bored. The only problem is that they can get so excited about things, they can be passed off as quack doctors or they won't be thorough.
7 wings /influence is 6 and 8.
Famous 7s
