S3 Ep12 Myths and Misconceptions When You Don't Know Enneagram Subtypes

Pulling from the theory of Claudio Narajano, Bea and Uranio share some common myths and misconceptions about Enneagram types when subtypes are not understood.
When referring to subtypes, they are not referring to Wings. They use instinctual subtypes, which describe the mix of the passion of the type and dominant instinct, which is either self-preservation, social, or sexual. It is easy to think people of the same type are similar because they share a common passion. However, the dominant instinct influences the passion, and the subtype places a spotlight on the traits that make people different within each type.
For decades, Bea and Uranio studied the instinctual subtypes in-depth, but they also put the subtypes to the test by helping individuals and seeing subtypes work in practice. This is a great episode that can help prevent mistyping and guide people to their distinct growth paths.

One of the things I remember Uranio saying in the Social-repressed video is that SO-repressed 9s are arguably the most mistyped people in the Enneagram simply because they don't really fit a lot of the stereotypes associated with Type 9, and in many ways they really can look more like 4s/5s/6s. As a 9w1 SP/SX who mistyped as a 4 for literally years, I can confirm.

With reference to Uranio's observations of being comfortable on stage as a SO5, I feel that has more to do with the instinctual sequence. As a SO5 with a SX repressed, I find sometimes find stage performances anxiety-inducing when confronted with the possibility of that actually happening. 'Thinking' about it and fantasizing about my stage performance is super pleasurable. Repeat performances after that first-time-anxiety has passed I find myself in my element with no fear of the audience at all. I suspect my SP instinct has a part to play in this. For SP repressed people, what Uranio says may very well hold true.

Great infos! Is there a good way to distinct sp5 and sp9? I see I have traits of both
