hmmmm.. is thaw!slime an e9 or an e1...? or an e7? but maybe i got the potential e7 core vibe bc he's a really healthy e1 (and also most likely still has a 7 fix)????
and also when i guessed e9 for him, i figured he probably has a 1 wing. but maybe it's the other way around and he has a 9 wing??? though wings are confusing sometimes (and honestly, they're relatively new in comparison to the rest of the enneagram so the stuff i'm reading doesn't even include them most of the time. + they're really divisive. some ppl in the enneagram community think that both of your type's wings have an impact on you, though maybe at different points of your life, some ppl think only one wing ever does, and some people disregard wings entirely.. im not fully sure where i stand on them yet tbh, though i do think they're interesting, even if there's not as much info about them as there is for other aspects of the enneagram.)
but like, e1s and e9s are both in the anger triad, and so they both care a lot about autonomy and control, they just get it in different ways, through their different stances. e9s withdraw to feel some kind of autonomy, while e1s try to earn/work for it.. (btw e8s are the aggressive stance, so they'll be the ones who Demand autonomy. just in case anyone was wondering)
then there's always the question of how much autistic traits play into personality traits, and how they differ (this is also a problem that i ran into when trying to type both myself and my litle brother). bc e1s like for things to be done right all the time, but an autistic sense of justice can also do that. so how much is the e1 and how much is the autism, and how can you tell the difference, yk? bc obviously not every autistic person is an e1. there's no single 'autistic' type (though there technically kinda is, since naranjo called e5 the 'autistic type', due to how they are known for having very fixed interests and not being great at or interested in socializing with other people all that much. ofc, i don't think he's saying that all autistic ppl are e5s, nor is he saying that e5s are all autistic, just that there's a lot of overlap between those traits. but comparing the enneagram to things in the dsm is honestly a whole other post in itself..) but like. it's a bit hard to have one type encapsulate a wholeass spectrum, and i've made a list on where different autistic traits and experiences can overlap with the different enneatypes.
but yeah i'm just not sure on thaw!slime's type yet lmao. he definitely hasn't shown up in the story enough times for me to actually type him with very much certainty as of rn, this is mostly just me speculating on what he Could potentially be, and pondering on where potential mistakes could be made... i guess we'll just have to wait and see :]
#thaw nation#the enneagram is great and super accurate. as long as you correctly type the person in question. therein lies the issue.#i think that's part of why ppl are skeptical of this test tbh. bc most of these online tests for the enneagram are disgustingly inaccurate#so ppl go with the wrong types for themselves and then it's not as helpful as it can be#i thought i was an e2 for the longest time (back when i didn't know anything about it).#then i actually got into it a couple years later and realized that that test i took was very inaccurate and the results skewed towards e2#ofc there are other reasons too but that was definitely my issue with it before. i was mistyped and figured that it was just a bad typology#ever spin#forgive me for any mistakes in this. it is 2 am 👍
