In this reflection I consider personality as stable (or not) and I consider it as real (or not). In other words, it's complicated. Supporting themes: Sexual orientation; Cognitive orientation; Social orientation; Emotions; Language; Human evolution; Trauma and Subjectivity; Predatory behavior; Defensive behavior; Achievement, competition and materialism; Class and neighborhoods Special note 1: This reflection was influenced in part by Enneagram 2.0 (a podcast) and Personality Hacker (a second podcast). Special note 2: This reflection has two parts: a) In the first 30 minutes I talk about the hosts from the two podcasts mentioned above; and b) The rest of the reflection is where I wrestle with the pairing of MBTI and the Enneagram as two personality systems. Special note 3: I read from the "The Complete Enneagram") by Dr. Beatrice Chestnut. Special note 4: This is reflection is actually a continuation of a reflection I did on "Theories/ Theorists". Please go to my Substack account (Your Ni Dom) for that first reflection.

In this reflection, I explore and embrace personality contradictions.
