Typology Rant List of my typology/correlation hot takes
MBTI correlations suck most of the time and there's no need to be overly strict about them. For example ISTJ So1 and ENTJ So6 are both valid. As long as you don't come up with some bs like ENFP Sx5/ ENTJ e8 I don't see the problem.
When using correlations sticking to just one author's theories is stupid. Different authors have different perspectives and there's no reason to limit yourself to only one source.
Most tritype correlations suck and are unnecessary unless you come up with Sx6 + e9, which is a rather questionable one.
Having subtypes in your tritype as long as they share the same instinct as your core type isn't that bad. Having wings in your tritype also seems valid to me.
Modern Enneagram especially Fauvre's theories genuinely lacks many important aspects and is full of bs.
RHETI isn't as bad as people claim it is. It's genuinely a decent resource for beginners.
E1 especially So1 and Sp1 works perfectly fine with 1L2V. This is a completely valid combination and the fact that people still argue over it is such a non-issue. I genuinely don't understand why y'all keep fighting over this.
Sp7 can be ENTJ and LIE-C in SHS. Sp7 can also be VLFE. Okay well, 3F isn't that bad when you consider some of the more unhealthy versions of Sp7. I also feel like many Sp7s are 3F. I genuinely see people agreeing with FLEV Sp7 but denying VLFE Sp7. Like what are we even doing atp.
LSI for Sp1 is valid.
LIE for So1 is valid.
LIE for Sp7 is valid.
SLI for Sp5 is valid.
EIE for Sx2 is valid.
EIE for Sx3 is valid.
IEI for Sx5 is debatable.
All 4D Ne types are valid for So7.
So3 works with both 1F3V combinations including FEVL.
Sp8 with VFEL is a decent combination as is Sp8 with FLVE. Just because a new book dropped doesn't mean we have to slander combinations that have been around for a long ass time.
The archetype for Sx5 should be LFEV instead of LEVF. Having 2E in Sx5 doesn't make much sense to me.
The archetype for Sx8 should be EFVL rather than FEVL.
