my trit types of the enneagram by matrix designs

TWO, the helper ; Aaron ; "sweetheart you look a little tired, when did you last eat? come in and make yourself right at home, stay as long as you need" ⟡ "what a privilege it is to love, a great honour to hold you up"

THREE, the achiever ; (reformed) Negan Smith ; "i finally see myself through the eyes of no one else" ⟡ "a mess of a story i'm ashamed to tell, but i'm slowly learning how to break this spell"

FOUR, the individualist ; Ezekiel Sutton ; "i'm turning out the lights to remember how to see, 'til a renaissance takes place and resuscitates the colour of paint and divinity" ⟡ "maybe i'm hiding behind metaphor, maybe my heart needs to break to be sure"

FIVE, the investigator ; Sasha Williams ; "a white flag waves in the dark between my head and my heart, my armour falls apart" ⟡ "as if i could let myself be seen, even deeply known; like i was already brave enough to let go"

SIX, the loyalist ; Gabriel Stokes ; "i want to take shelter but i'm ready, ready to fight; somewhere in the middle, i feel a little paralyzed; maybe i'm stronger than i realize" ⟡ "is it courage or faith to show up every day? to trust that there will be light always waiting behind even the darkest of nights"

SEVEN, the enthusiast ; Beth Greene ; "how wonderful to see a smile on your face, it costs farewell tears for a welcome-home parade" ⟡ "i want to be here, truly be here, to watch the ones that i love bloom; and i want to make room to love them through and through and through" ⟡ "i feel hope, deep in my bones, that tomorrow will be beautiful"

EIGHT, the challenger ; Daryl Dixon ; "you were wrong, my healing needed more than time" ⟡ "when i see fragile things, helpless things, broken things, i see the familiar" ⟡ "i'm just a kid who grew up scared enough to hold the door shut and bury my innocence" ⟡ "i'll shake the ground with all my might, and i will pull my whole heart up to the surface; for the innocent, for the vulnerable, i'll show up on the front lines with a purpose" ⟡ "i'm shattered porcelain glued back together again"

(If you have any particular reasoning as to why you see him as a type, please elaborate, I’m curious as to how other people perceive him)

More information about each of the types under the cut

-thaw!slime 

in my mind, thaw!slime is a 7w8. this can be proven by looking at all of the instances of him in the story, as well as using the presence of charlie being expected to be an unhealthier, less stable version of him as a way to assume how slime himself would act if put under stress.

7’s stance is aggressive, which means that he moves against others and focuses on what he wants/needs. thaw!slime isn’t afraid to speak for his own interests, as seen by how he threatens soot when he thinks that he had killed quackity. he wanted revenge, and he wasn’t afraid to go after it.

his triad is head/fear triad; the head triad is how one goes about navigating what they view as a dangerous world. in the e7’s case, they distract themselves from harsh realities by keeping themselves constantly moving and focused on other things we see this particularly with thaw!charlie when he tries to distract himself from all the changes he’s going through with the festival, but it can be presumed that thaw!slime would do this too, considering how similar the ccs are to their characters.

e7s disintegrate to 1s when under stress, and this can also be seen in charlie "becoming" more critical of people, including quackity, as well as him acting more pessimistic and anxious over things, and him working so hard to avoid (disintegrating 7) and, eventually, find solutions to (fully disintegrated to 1) his points of anxiety.

harmonics are how people go about handling conflict. in slime’s case, he is a positive harmonic. those in the positive harmonic put emphasis on bringing light and avoiding negativity, and prefer making everything okay again. i will go into more depth about e7’s particular positive harmonic in the tritype section.

object relations are how we are affected by particular wounds. his is frustration, which is about the frustration that one feels at not getting their needs met. this will also be delved deeper into in the tritype section.

with ego structures, which are conscious fears, choices and motivations. for the e7, this is constantly planning what should happen and getting frustrated when it doesn’t.

additionally, there are trap structures, which are things that the type does too much of. tying into the ego structure, idealism is the trap that e7s fall into, constantly planning how the future should ideally go, and being disappointed when their perfect plan doesn’t turn out perfectly, then starting all over again.

there’s also passions, which are desires that unconsciously tempt the types. for e7s, this is gluttony, which causes them to be scattered and excessive because they’re constantly searching for pleasure, so they’re prone to going too far into the pleasureful side of life and not enough on the less fun parts.

now here’s a list of some attributes from the e7’s trait structure that i think fit for thaw!slime/charlie: open-mindedness, hedonism, laid back attitude towards others, rebellious, but still very diplomatic to authority, anti-conventional, more connected to ideals than reality, repression of pain and refuge in pleasure, belief in one’s own wisdom, persuasive, smoothness hiding aggression, persona hiding their anxiety

i also think that thaw!slime has a 721 tritype. this tritype is also known as the people-focused one/the enthusiast.

it has a double positive harmonic (7 + 2). 2 makes him focus on the good in others and himself and amplifying it, for example, how he naturally thinks the best of quackity, and how he managed to see the good in foolish, even when he had lady death’s mantle and was incredibly cruel. 7 is him actively avoiding negativity by using momentum from fun experiences, focusing instead on the playful and fun thoughts, so as to avoid the frustrations he feels with the world. again, this can be seen with thaw!charlie trying to distract himself with the festival, or by focusing on the beauty of the city, to avoid his thoughts and worries about the changes he’s been through.

he is also double frustration object relations (7 + 1). frustration stems from not getting needs met. in object relations, the frustration of 7 means that he seeks the need of comfort and stability through exciting experiences that are shallow enough that he doesn’t have to deal with anything too complex or difficult. and for a 1, the frustration type entails that he protects himself from the frustration of people not following the rules by becoming the ultimate authority on what’s right and wrong. we can see this first in thaw!charlie with his obsession with everyone following the rules, and how he immediately points out to glatt how he shouldn’t be in las nevadas, which feels very much like something that thaw!slime would do too. we can also see a glimpse of this in how he’s genuinely confused over why the others wouldn’t be comfortable with quackity’s diet because in his mind, this is completely moral and allowed, since that’s what slimes do too. his morals are absolute, and he can't understand why people wouldn't follow the same rules he does.

his tritype’s stance is double dependent/compliant (2 + 1), which also is very relevant. for example, he follows the rules and social standards. even if it’s not what he wants, it’s what he considers to be right. he also focuses a lot more on others’ needs rather than his own, as seen through thaw!charlie “lying” to not concern quackity about why he’s acting so off, as well as by thaw!slime himself, with how he was willing to stay in his quackity form to hug thaw!charlie for as long as he possibly could, just to comfort his kin.

-thaw!quackity

in contrast, thaw!quackity is an 8w7, which, as you may notice, the type is just an inversion of thaw!charlie’s 7w8. so what’s the difference?

well, while they definitely share traits of each other, for example, both dislike being controlled and are fairly rebellious in nature, though e8s are more outwardly rebellious and naturally distrust any authority, while e7s are much more diplomatic with authority and dislike hierarchies regardless of where they stand in them. e8s also care far more about having power in things, while e7s don’t care for power as long as they have freedom (sound familiar? ;])

the wings indicate that they share some traits, for example, the e7s with 8 wings are more intense and bold than their 7w6 counterparts, and 8w7s are far more active and aggressive than that of 8w9s, but are still ultimately more of the former type than the latter.

quackity’s tritype is an 863. this is a double aggressive stance, double attachment object relations, and double reactive harmonics. slime has one aggressive type in his tritype, that being his core e7, so he’s assertive in his right to have fun, happy experiences, while e8s are assertive in setting their personal boundaries and e3s are just more aggressive in reaching their goals. thaw!slime has a double compliant stance, while quackity has one compliant type in his tritype, which is the e6. again, this is the one compliant type that slime doesn’t have in his tritype, just like how the only aggressive type thaw!quackity didn’t have in his tritype was a 7. e6s focus on building a secure environment for themselves and others, while e2s find security in meeting others’ needs before their own, and e1s find security in following the rules.

for object relations, quackity is double attachment, while slime is double frustration. slime becomes the ultimate guiding force for things and chases exciting things so that he feels more secure in his place in things, while thaw!quackity does whatever he can and acts however he needs to to get unlimited adoration and love from others (3), and also creates plans and maps to the detriment of his own inner faith (6) (think: how he second guessed his gut feeling with the second ram).

despite all the differences, e7 and e8s are actually very similar enneatypes, they’re both aggressive types, as stated before, and are visionary types who aren’t afraid to engage in conflict (even if to different extents). also, their passions are incredibly similar, with e7’s being gluttony, and e8’s being lust, both of which have to do with an excess of something that is good when in moderation. and finally, both dislike feeling controlled by others and their expectations.
