If you go to the video clips in the blog, you may have a different sense than what you learned or even what I suggest. I think the discussion is important. I do think Donald Trump is really an 8; most Threes in the US at least are more subtle in their self-promotion. From watching Trump on many interviews and his &quot;Apprentice,&quot; he strikes in many ways as a humble man underneath the big personality.Ginger Lapid-Bogda, Ph.Dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12811935960374696110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8312971875008205671.post-75918000522817602922010-06-29T17:56:13.855-07:002010-06-29T17:56:13.855-07:00Enneagram teachers seem to have such different ideas as to the enneagram types of celebrities. <br /><br />I was taught that Thatcher was a One with her rigid hairstyle, rigid body type as well as the One style to leading her country. She was known to rule with an iron fist inside kid gloves. She was tightly wound like a One and doesn&#39;t seem to have the sentimentality, or the shoot from the hip talking style that comes from other Eights. She is also famously known as the ice maiden which seems very One like. <br /><br />I was also taught that Trump is a Three, with his name on his buildings and his attention to image and his flair for self promotion. Certainly as an outsider to America, Trump comes across as the quintessential Three, inhabiting all the Three qualities which so represent the States.<br /><br />Sometimes it seems a pity there are disagreements out there among the teachers. I admit it can be hard when you&#39;re taught one thing and then another teacher sees something completely different. I&#39;m aware of how difficult it is for me to see Thatcher or Trump as an Eight when I&#39;ve been taught to see them as different types. <br /><br />Sometimes it&#39;s great though to discover different typings from the different teachers because it makes you take another look.<br /><br />And I certainly think its good that there are different teachers so that we keep the debate alive and keep looking with fresh eyes.Clare Cherikoffhttp://www.understandingpersonality.comnoreply@blogger.com
