Enneagram 5/enneagram 6 Maybe? “But you can become a master of strategy by training alone with a sword, so that you can understand the enemy's stratagems, his strength and resources, and come to appreciate how to apply strategy to beat ten thousand enemies. Any man who wants to master the essence of my strategy must research diligently, training morning and evening. Thus can he polish his skill, become free from self, and realise extraordinary ability. He will come to possess miraculous power.” From this I notice a more clear emphasis on depth, understanding and application which point to the enneagram 5 trait of greed more than it do lust, to me. As the 5 is a competence type, focused on collecting and storing data, to feel prepared for the world, they put an incredible amount of dmphasis into the ideas of depth of understanding competent behavior. This makes them inclined to things such as mastery in one area, to fulfill that ego fixation of greed to gain competence. Much of this book seemed to focus on that idea of understanding things in tremendous depth and detail, prioritizing practice, doing things over and over again in isolation, in order to attain mastery in one area. He does emphasize a focus on attaining miraculous power in the end of that quote, but likely as an 8 fix. There is far too much insistence, to me, on meticulous observation, information hoarding understanding and mastery that point to a 5 dominant fix for me. Edited: I’m iffy because I also see how their could be an argument for type 6 given his devotion to “the way” that is in training, and his devotion to abiding by the principles he has derived from direct experience. Its a likelihood.
