Talk:Eights (Enneagram of Personality)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] NPOV etc. issues

This Enneagram type article - like all the others - is simply an unoriginal summary of descriptions and theories of one particular Enneagram school. These are presented as if they are accepted 'facts' of Enneagram teaching even though many aspects of these descriptions, type examples, etc. etc. would be questioned or rejected by many other Enneagram authorities.

These particular type articles need to be either deleted or totally rewritten in an appropriate NPOV etc format.

What format would you suggest as being suitable for NPOV?

Also, which Enneagram School's message does this article support, and which one's does it not support? If you are familiar with the different schools you might expand the articles to include different perspectives. --160.39.71.53 17:57, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

This will be done when time permits. Some work has been started but the person(s) who started the original articles - mostly just cribbed material from the writings of one Enneagram 'school' (Riso and Hudson) - has created big problems for anyone wanting to edit them to proper NPOV standards.

[edit] Possible Examples

I have deleted the lists of possible examples as these people's Enneatype can only (usually) be a matter of speculation and not objectively factual. As such they are not appropriate for encyclopedia articles. If anyone disagrees please discuss here first. Thanks. Ontologicos 02:32, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
