Three American Presidents

Following on from my last post, I am going to look a little bit at the Types of the last three American Presidents, and what they each therefore bring to the mix:

Barack Obama is a Nine. Nines are calm, unifying forces who are good mediators and seek to bring people together, often having a healing influence on their environment. Healthy Nines are dynamic and self-possessed, with great equanimity. They understand their own worth and are serene and powerful, able to carry everyone along with them.

Unhealthy Nines are passive and undeveloped. They become seriously neglectful of themselves and will block out anything they don't like or can't deal with and so become ineffectual and depressed and eventually unable to function.

Donald Trump is an Eight. Eights are people of action, self-confident and direct in their communication style. They are decisive, resourceful and assertive, standing up for what they believe and what they want. Healthy Eights are often protective of those more vulnerable and will magnanimously champion others.

Unhealthy Eights are belligerent, confrontational and dictatorial. They resist any limits being imposed on their behaviour and become reckless and ruthless. At this stage, instead of championing other people and being protective of those more vulnerable, they are controlling and can become very cruel.

Joe Biden is a Seven. Sevens are enthusiastic, spontaneous and cheerful. They are resilient and often doing many things well. Healthy Sevens are able to assimilate their experiences deeply, making them appreciative and joyful with a real appreciation for life and its goodness.

Unhealthy Sevens are hedonistic, impatient and impulsive. They are infantile escapists who are on the run from themselves and do not know when to stop, over-indulging in the good things of life and lurching from one compulsive behaviour to another, their excesses getting the better of them until they are spent.

I will leave it up to you to decide whether they are towards the healthy or unhealthy end of the spectrum of their Type. Needless to say, it is an important thing to bear in mind.
