The problem is that it is more challenging to find innovative thinkers. It's difficult for them to embrace their own free thinking and all they can do is incorporate other's thinking that has obvious flaws. If I or another were to perhaps suggest another way that might be probable, they only go search up some graph, chart, outline that has helped continue the stereotypical to begin with.
O.K., here are two examples of my boxes that I'm holding at the moment.
1. The INTJ- The stereotype that is presented and continuously mirrored, mimicked, directed to is one of a stuffy-shirted scientist whom sits around suited, without showing emotion and unapproachable, a body language that does not interact and is robotic, lacking intensity.
What I'd like to challenge the readers on, is that the INTJ is under the influence of being a typical stereotype. When in-fact, I'd rather they gather newer thoughts to the type and begin to nurture something that hasn't yet been nurtured for the type much. That is their intensity, which I know they have. Their ability to make connections to people, maybe not the majority, but that doesn't cancel out that they can be approachable and connective.
I don't know how best to put my thoughts into words that are clear enough for readers, so I'll just end it here.
2. The enneagram type 5- The stereotype presented is that of someone who only makes a use of logical information and whom peruses informational material.
I have a lot to say on this, but I'm still investigating it. Even if I am not a type 5w6, which I have looked into enough to think it in-fact does resonate the most out of all the other enneagrams, but if I were perhaps misinterpreting what I'd dug up, I still believe that the sounding board in the enneagram forums are not open to new thoughts and stick to definitions that have a few flaws, flaws prolly due to not enough investigation and lack of subjects to figure in at the time of it's write ups.
But, the point to both of the boxes I'm holding is only that neither should be considered an already done deal, with no room for more looking into and study. I like to believe that anything can be continued and improved on.
