As promised, for Black History Month, I was going to do bonus typings in practice on all the black people that I've typed in Classic Jungian and DISC (and in some cases, SOJT).

Michael Jackson was Typing In Practice post #3. I was able to type him in Classic Jungian and DISC, but not definitively in SOJT. His Classic Jungian was EN(F), and his DISC profile was I/C. These closely corresponded with the MBTI type ENFP.

Today, I am going to reveal how I typed Michael Jackson in Enneagram and AP/PY, and what his types are there, and why I decided on those types

ENNEAGRAM: 7w6 so/sp 714

I decided Michael Jackson was a 7 because his main focus, practically his whole adult life, was to run away from pain. He would use his creative genius to run away from the pain his chronic health conditions caused him, until the pain got so bad, then he used medicine to escape. And it was a medical assistant accidentally ODing him that led to his death. Now, the pain 7s try to escape is not always physical, as it was in Michael Jackson's case. It can also be emotional or mental. But escaping from pain is what distinguishes a 7 , nonetheless.

I decided on w6 for him because he was more about wanting and needing security and support than he was about not appearing vulnerable. However, at times, you could see his "I don't want to appear vulnerable " side poke through as well. But I think needing security and support was more prevelant in his life

I decided so/sp for the instincts, because Michael Jackson was all about being proper and polite, and doing the culturally acceptable thing. This shows he was social first, and I think he was self preservation second, because he would do what was necessary to escape his pain, which falls into 7's self maintenance.

Most people will say that Michael Jackson is a 794 tritype (The Gentle Spirit). Instead, I see him as 714 (The Visionary). The reason is, he certainly wasn't as active a idealist as a 794, nor as scattered as a 794. Instead, Michael Jackson had a focused idealism, and always completed his creative projects. Another clue to me of his 714 was him always wanting to do what was proper, polite and culturally correct. As well as indicating social first, I think it also indicates a 1 gut fix. Another big suggestion for 714 is that that triad is triple frustration. Michael Jackson's songs definitely seemed to come from a triple frustration point of view.

ATTITUDINAL PSYCHE : EVFL

1E: He emoted through his music, and nobody told him how. His music was how he wanted it to be, and no one else ever had a say. Michael Jackson's feelings were his and his only (self positive, others negative, result). Also, apparently, he was in a teacher/student relationship with Madonna (a 4E).

2V: This was quite an obvious aspect for Michael Jackson, as he loved involving others in his creative projects, and helping others achieve their dreams (self positive, others positive, process).

3F: This was also quite obvious in how things had to be "just so" for him in the physics aspect realm. He also had vitiligo, which gave him a negative outlook on his own physical being (self negative, others negative, process).

4L: Logic aspect things always seemed like an afterthought to him, after he got everything else out of the way. I can't actually think of any examples of him getting logic aspect advice from others, but nonetheless, logic appears to be his unbothered aspect (self negative, others positive , result)

As far as Psychosophy goes, unfortunately, he is not also a Pasternak type because his defense mechanisms don't follow the prescribed order (E-> V-> F-> L).

So now, after that analysis, I can say the following about Michael Jackson:
