Tri-Instinctual Archetypes

The core component of the Expanded Instincts is the idea that aliveness can be extracted from the nine instinctual realms. Unlike the ego types in enneagram, the expanded instincts are not running from death, ego death, or perceived danger. There is no fear that drives the types, nor is there any sort of ego strategy that enables them to operate. Instead, they are running towards the feelings of vitality, aliveness, fulfillment, and instinctual highs. Typing yourself and others in this system will require you to make this VERY important distinction between these two concepts. In short, the expanded instincts will ALWAYS be positive symptoms–they are being added into your life to reach the instinctual high. Ego types in enneagram are negative symptoms, as they are all the ways in which you are limiting your personality to fit into one strategy that makes you feel safe or free from danger that leads to death.
