These four aspects are somewhat tied together so that the integration or progress made in one of them can catalyze change made in another, but that’s not always the case. At this level of granularity, one aspect may be at negative numbers (repression) while another might not be. So for example one might still have a repressed relationship to the p…

To summarize, what you’re describing about your journey looks to me like this:

First: Your Te was repressed, attached perhaps to other psychic complexes, and manifesting as a daimon. The way out of this stage appeared to be Integrating it’s Behavioral Attributes (Skills) as well as it’s Archetypal Character (Bull).

Second: This brought you up to…

@Aub, excellent!! I do agree with almost everything you've written. I think we pretty much see the psyche the same way, so that's great! And yes, your description of a repressed Te is not too far from my own issues, actually.

The shadow is an interesting topic, and the way I would contextualize it in the above posts is that the difference between the daimon and muse (it’s the same thing at core) is whether or not the ego sees it as part of the self or not; hence the felt “otherness” of the daimon. And that is essentially a description of the shadow, as the shadow i…

Hi, @ladynerdsky!

Jumping in as an unseelie Fi-lead. I don’t think it’s conflict avoidance at all, and I think the descriptions and depictions of unseelie Fi as dismissive, haughty, vengeful, somewhat evil or grinch-like are exaggerated.

I've brought this up in our circles before but not here and I should probably make a record of it, so here goes.

First, there's a model of the psyche that sees it as consisting of cognition, emotion, and conation. Cognition is how we think/understand etc, emotion is as the name suggests, and conation refers to ACTION. The part of the mind…Read more

Ah, ok, then. Np.
I think 1>2>3>4 is good for me for hierachy. There's a reason we think NeFi I-I- are NeFis and not NeTes. We might not yet be able to say exactly how the undeveloped Fi colours the personality but we know it does.

Huh? @auburn, why did you split that away? I was contributing to these function stack myth ideas. :S Confuzzled.
Essentially suggesting, per Beebe's model:

Top function as the Protagonist of a person's personal story
Second as a powerful ally or mentor
Third as a side-kick
Fourth as the gateway to the Unconscious.

It’s possible we have access to all ways of knowing but view some as being more certain. Both quadra and EQ may correlate to these four kinds of knowing.

I agree and would suggest that maybe even the 8 CFs themselves, rather than whole quadras may be closer or further from each kind; which would make certain combinations of them or whole quadras m…Read more

And when it does its functional part, what it does is completely unconscious and I don’t feel I really used logical thinking to arrive at the solution.

As an Enneagram three with a four wing and Si, I do very much indeed seek pleasure (in the suffering too), and to me the 2 aren’t contradictory (seeking pleasure and exploring suffering).

Oh my! @auburn, this is great! I sensed something similar when I tried to describe the different pairings using Te as an example: Fi-Te, Pi-Te, and Pe-Te, though I'd argue it comes in more forms than the four. I wonder if what you write here about Fe suits just as well for Te?

So Fe comes in 4 forms:
