The Moving Enneagram of Paret/en

The Moving Enneagram of Paret is the original typological system developed by Marco Paret as a synthesis of four convergent typological traditions — the classic enneagram, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), the Hippocratic-Galenic temperaments (choleric, sanguine, phlegmatic, melancholic), and the Paracelsian Tria Prima (Sulphur, Mercury, Salt) — read through the grid of cerebral lateralization and the dominant gesture of Paret Movement Analysis (PMA).

The system recognizes that historical typologies, developed independently in different eras and cultures, describe the same phenomenological structure of human behavior under different vocabularies. Paret's novelty is the operational integration of these typologies with (a) the neurophysiological framework of cerebral lateralization documented by Bakan, Galin, and Luria, (b) Polyvagal Theory by Stephen Porges, (c) the non-verbal reading of gesture. The result is a unique diagnostic system that allows identifying a person's prevalent type through three quick tests (arm folding, hand clasping, ear preference) and observation of the dominant gesture.

The page The Six Character Types in the Polyvagal Map presents the simplified, polyvagal-Paracelsian version of the same typology (three pure principles + three binary mixed types + integrated state as the seventh configuration). The present page instead presents the complete octuple version, with lateral-gestural diagnostics and MBTI and enneagram correlations.

I. The Octuple Grid: arm folding × hand clasping × ear preference

The diagnostic foundation of the Moving Enneagram is the combination of three spontaneous lateralization tests that every person performs unconsciously:

Arm folding — which forearm is on top when crossing the arms? Left (L) or right (R)
Hand clasping — which thumb is on top when interlacing the fingers? Left (L) or right (R)
Ear preference — which ear is brought to the phone or to listen? Left (L) or right (R)

The eight combinations LLL, LLR, LRL, LRR, RLL, RLR, RRL, RRR identify eight postural houses that Paret cross-references with the nine enneagram types — overlapping types 9 and 4 as introspective variations of the same pattern (LLL), and similarly types 1 and 6 (RRL). This yields the fundamental octuple correspondence.

The Table of Types

Code	Enneagram	Prevalent MBTI	Temperament	PMA Channel	Paret Typology
LRL	Type 5	IT (INTJ/INTP/ISTJ/ISTP)	Melancholic	AV	Cartesian / Logical (introvert thinker)
LLL	Type 4-9	IF (INFJ/INFP/ISFJ/ISFP)	Melancholic/Phlegmatic	KA	Sensitive (introvert feeling)
RLL	Type 4-5	IN (INFJ/INFP/INTJ/INTP)	Melancholic	—	Creative (introvert intuition)
RRL	Type 1-6	IS (ISTJ/ISFJ/ISTP/ISFP)	Melancholic/Sanguine	VA-VA	Narcissistic (introvert sensation)
RLR	Type 8-3	ET (ENTJ/ENTP/ESTJ/ESTP)	Choleric	AK-VK	Tribal (extrovert thinker)
LLR	Type 2	EF (ENFJ/ENFP/ESFJ/ESFP)	Sanguine	KV	Idealist (extrovert feeling)
RRR	Type (2-)7	ES (ESTP/ESFP/ESTJ/ESFJ)	Choleric/Sanguine	V	Challenger (extrovert sensation)
LRR	Type 7-(2)	EN (ENFJ/ENFP/ENTJ/ENTP)	Sanguine	VKA	Relational (extrovert intuition)

Introverted types (code starting with L in ear preference, or in combinations with attenuated left hemisphere dominance) are concentrated in the upper half of the table; extroverted types in the lower half.

II. The Meaning of L and R: Lateralization and «Hemisity»

The letter L indicates left forearm/thumb/ear on top or preferred — which corresponds to preferential activation of the right hemisphere (due to the principle of contralateral control). The letter R indicates the mirror situation — preferential activation of the left hemisphere.

The combinations of L and R are not dichotomous but graded: as documented by Behrmann & Plaut (2013), lateralization is a gradual concept, not a switch. The Moving Enneagram codes encode this gradual nature:

LL- in the first two positions → left hemisphere dominance (absence of right compensation). According to Luria, it can be latent left-handedness — mild schizotypy, unconventional creativity (Flor-Henry 1976).
RL- → attenuated left hemisphere dominance. Possible right hemisphere bias as a consequence of a callosal imbalance, with left compensated hypofunction by the counterpart (cf. research on arm folding and latent laterality).
LR- → attenuated left dominance with better interhemispheric integration. Better recovery from aphasias. «Organizer-coordinator» type.
RR- → reduced left dominance. Greater availability to right-hemisphere thinking (gestaltic, global, intuitive).

The third letter — the ear preference — modulates this picture by distinguishing preferential attention to words (R = right ear = left hemisphere = extrovert, attentive to verbal content) from preferential attention to tones (L = left ear = right hemisphere = introvert, attentive to prosody, to the emotion of the message).

Emerging Representational Channels

Each combination generates specific representational channels in the NLP and PMA vocabulary:

-LL = K (kinesthetic predominant)
LL- = K (kinesthetic predominant)
-RR = V (visual predominant)
RR- = V (visual predominant)
-RL = A (auditory predominant)
RL- = A (auditory predominant)
-LR = K (kinesthetic with verbal tonality)

In addition to the base channel, specific types produce the composite channels of PMA:

KV — kinesthetic-visual (Idealist 2)
KA — kinesthetic-auditory (Sensitive 4-9)
VA — visual-auditory (Narcissistic 1-6)
VKA — visual-kinesthetic-auditory (Relational 7)
AK / VK — auditory-kinesthetic (Tribal 8-3)
AV — auditory-visual (Cartesian 5)

The expert operator of the School reads the channel from the gesture and adapts their communication accordingly.

The Reading of McGilchrist: Master and Emissary

The broader philosophical-neuroscientific framework in which the lateral diagnostics of the Moving Enneagram is situated is that expounded by neuroscientist Iain McGilchrist in The Master and His Emissary (2009) and The Matter With Things (2021), to which the wiki dedicates the page Iain McGilchrist and Hemispheric Duality. According to McGilchrist, the two hemispheres do not differ in their contents (language on the left, images on the right: the popular dichotomy is scientifically outdated) but in the two ways of paying attention to the world:

The left hemisphere — a narrow, focused, manipulative attention: it sees parts rather than wholes, decomposes, categorizes, isolates, privileges the known and predictable. It is the hemisphere of the Emissary.
The right hemisphere — a broad, vigilant, contextual attention: it sees wholes, grasps context, relationship, ambiguity, uniqueness of the particular in situation. It is the hemisphere of the Master.

The eight houses of the Moving Enneagram coded by the codes LLL, LLR, LRL, LRR, RLL, RLR, RRL, RRR correspond, read within McGilchrist's framework, to eight configurations of the relationship between Master and Emissary:

Codes starting with L (left arm folding on top) → preferential activation of the right hemisphere (Master). Types more open to context, relationship, intuition: Sensitive, Idealist, Cartesian, Relational.
Codes starting with R (right arm folding on top) → preferential activation of the left hemisphere (Emissary). Types more analytical, manipulative, control-oriented: Creative, Tribal, Narcissistic, Challenger.
Hand clasping (second letter) — modulates left control over the right: right thumb on top (R) = left inhibits right emotions (Bakan-Galin's «neurotic» configuration); left thumb on top (L) = greater affective expressiveness.
Ear preference (third letter) — orientation of attention: R (right ear) = words = left = analytical extrovert; L (left ear) = tones = right = prosodic introvert.

The PMA diagnosis is therefore, in McGilchrist's language, a diagnosis of which part of us is governing. The work of the School — the practice of Integral Presence™, magnetic techniques, traversing habitual trances — is the practice of returning to the Master, re-establishing the right relationship in which the Emissary serves as a competent tool under the guidance of the part of us that sees the whole.

III. The Four Adaptation Styles

A crucial operational dimension of the Moving Enneagram is the reading of the four adaptation styles derived from the first two letters of the code (arm folding × hand clasping):

R-L → Individualist — internal reference, low external trust, claimed autonomy. Reduced hypnotizability until a field of respect and autonomy is established. Coordinators, strategists, self-taught individuals.
R-R → Autonomous — self-control, autonomous internal reference, self-confidence. Hypnotizability via self-induction or paternal door with ventral warmth. Decision-makers, leaders, types who go their own way.
L-R → Consensual — accepted external control, social reference. Hypnotizability via directive paternal door or recognized authority. Good executors, organizers.
L-L → Depending — trust, receptive external reference. Hypnotizability via receptive maternal door, ventral vagal warmth.

This framework converges with Herbert Spiegel's model of «induction patterns» and with John Kappas's distinction between «emotional behavior pattern» (introvert, similar to the L-L configuration) and «physical behavior pattern» (extrovert, similar to the R-R configuration). Choosing the correct induction technique for the adaptation style is the difference between success and failure of the hypnotic intervention.

IV. The Four Orientations of Intelligence

The hemispheric combinations generate four orientations of intelligence that Paret distinguishes:

Logical / Speculative Intelligence (left hemisphere dominant) — types Cartesian (5) LRL and Narcissistic (1-6) RRL. Analytical, deductive, categorical thinking. Strong in language and formal problem-solving.
Interpersonal / Social Intelligence (left hemisphere + interhemispheric integration) — types Idealist (2) LLR and Tribal (3-8) RLR. Relational readings, group building, social leadership.
Creative / Empirical Intelligence (right hemisphere dominant with integration) — types Sensitive (4-9) LLL and Creative (4-5) RLL. Image-based thinking, intuition, artistic and symbolic creativity.
Practical / Functional Intelligence (right hemisphere with action orientation) — types Challenger (3-7) RRR and Relational (7-2) LRR. Pragmatism, realization capacity, practical emotional intelligence.

This framework is compatible with Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences and Daniel Goleman's distinction between cognitive and emotional intelligence, but integrates it with neurolateral diagnostics that allows recognizing the prevalent type of intelligence in seconds of observation.

The broader neuroscientific framework in which this picture is situated is that of contemporary embodied cognition — the current that recognizes the inseparability of cognition and body. Two authors are particularly relevant here for the School: Antonio Damasio with the theory of somatic markers (Descartes' Error, 1994; Self Comes to Mind, 2010), which provides the neurobiological foundation of the Paretian principle "the body does not lie" — cognitive decisions are modulated by automatic bodily signals that the brain reads before conscious rationalization; and Vittorio Gallese with the theory of embodied simulation and mirror neurons (Rizzolatti and Gallese, 1996 and beyond), which provides the neurological basis of the non-verbal reading that the PMA operator makes of the subject — the observer's brain motorically simulates the observed gesture and produces direct affective understanding.

V. The Specific Types in the Moving Enneagram

The types are presented below in the complete framework. For each: lateral configuration, prevalent MBTI, polyvagal configuration, PMA channel, characteristic gesture, recommended hypnotic access door.

Type LRL — Cartesian / Logical (Enneagram 5)

Configuration: dominant introverted thinking (Ti-dom). Melancholic tone (47-50%) or phlegmatic (29-36%). Polyvagal configuration: introversion with contained sympathetic.

PMA Channel: AV (auditory-visual, distant from kinesthetic). Analytical gestures, micromovements, self-adapters. Postural distancing from the other's body.

MBTI: INTJ, INTP, ISTJ, ISTP. Sub-typology: Coordinator-Strategist (INTJ), Regulator-Administrator (ISTJ), organizational Coordinator-Strategist.

Core motivation: competence through knowledge. Personal system of logic based on accumulated knowledge.

Hypnotic access door: mental non-intrusive. Work through symbol, reasoning, never imposition. The maternal door is suspicious, the directive paternal door generates resistance.

Type LLL — Sensitive (Enneagram 4-9)

Configuration: dominant introverted feeling (Fi-dom). Melancholic tone (65-66%) with phlegmatic shares. Deep kinesthetic.

PMA Channel: KA (kinesthetic-auditory). Contained gestures, micromovements, reduced external expressiveness but high internal intensity.

MBTI: INFJ, INFP, ISFJ, ISFP. Sub-typology: Counselor-Guiding (INFJ), Healer-Conciliating (INFP).

Core motivation: authenticity regarding one's personal values. Learning one's uniqueness to bring peace to one's inner world (type 4). Aspiration to wholeness and peace (type 9).

Hypnotic access door: receptive maternal with symbolic language. Warm prosodic voice, slow rhythm, containment. Possibly mental symbolic for type 4 with strong visual channel.

Type RLL — Creative (Enneagram 4-5)

Configuration: dominant introverted intuition (Ni-dom). Melancholic tone (47-67%).

PMA Channel: kinesthetic-intuitive, irregular gestures, non-linear expressiveness.

MBTI: INFJ-INTJ-INFP-INTP. Sub-typology: Autodidact (INFP-4), Concepteur (INFJ-4), Realisateur (INTJ with type 7-5), Improvisateur (INTP-5).

Core motivation: understanding the situation from every possible angle (Ni), creating and realizing inner visions. Lives their dreams as crusades.

Hypnotic access door: mental symbolic with room for self-induction. Language through archetypal images. Resonates with hermetic, alchemical, imaginal tradition.

Type RRL — Narcissistic (Enneagram 1-6)

Configuration: dominant introverted sensation (Si-dom). Melancholic tone (50-57%).

PMA Channel: VA-VA (double visual-auditory). Controlled posture, precise and repeated gestures.

MBTI: ISTJ, ISFJ, ISTP, ISFP. Sub-typology: Seductive artisan (ISTJ-1), Seductive actor (ISFP), Proselyte-Negotiator (ISFJ-2).

Core motivation: security through familiar structures and routines (Si). Sense of security in predictability (type 6). Perfectionism (type 1 when judgment is prevalent).

Hypnotic access door: structured paternal with concrete details and success indicators. The maternal door without structure makes them insecure; the mental symbolic can destabilize them.

Type RLR — Tribal (Enneagram 8-3)

Configuration: dominant extroverted thinking (Te-dom). Choleric tone (38-64%) or sanguine.

PMA Channel: AK-VK (auditory-kinesthetic, visual-kinesthetic). Tactile types: touch is a tool of conviction and bond building. Assertive posture, broad and direct gestures.

MBTI: ESTJ, ENTJ, ESTP, ENTP. Sub-typology: Supervisor-Enforcing (ESTJ), Fieldmarshal-Mobilizing (ENTJ), Promoter-Persuading (ESTP), Inventor-Devising (ENTP).

Core motivation: pragmatic control of the external environment (Te). Self-sufficiency (type 8). Ambition and achievement (type 3).

Characteristic traits: Ambition, autonomy, charisma, self-esteem, decisiveness, eclecticism, business and family sense, concrete organization, love for followers, field work. Anti-theoretical, practical, dislike abstract reasoning.

Hypnotic access door: authoritative paternal with recognition of their power. Never pure maternal door (they perceive it as passivity). Strategic touch: firm handshake, touch on the shoulder.

Type LLR — Idealist (Enneagram 2)

Configuration: dominant extroverted feeling (Fe-dom). High sanguine tone (53-70%).

PMA Channel: KV (kinesthetic-visual). Broad, expressive, contacting gestures. Hands talk a lot. Mobile and rich facial expression.

MBTI: ENFJ, ENFP, ESFJ, ESFP. Sub-typology: Provider-Supplying (ESFJ), Performer-Demonstrating (ESFP), Revealer, Democrat.

Core motivation: maintaining social harmony, being accepted. Core fear: not being loved for one's worth (type 2). They have «love to sell», seek recognition through help.

Hypnotic access door: warm receptive maternal, or gentle paternal with explicit recognition. Affectionate touch works; instrumental or cold touch closes them.

Type RRR — Challenger (Enneagram 7 or 2-3-7-8)

Configuration: dominant extroverted sensation (Se-dom). Sanguine (62%) or choleric tone.

PMA Channel: V (visual) and broad physical gesture. Extremely facial-expressive or body-expressive. Use arms and body in speech.

MBTI: ESTP, ESFP (more directly Se), ESTJ, ESFJ. Sub-typology: Promoter, Performer, Animator.

Core motivation: intense need for stimulation (type 7), strong engagement with the external environment. Restless mind, fear of being trapped by routine.

Hypnotic access door: playful paternal or active kinesthetic. Traditional static techniques often fail. Rapid induction, movement, active fascination work.

Core motivation: new experiences, possibilities (Ne). Excellent educators by nature. Pure type 7 in its relational version.

Characteristic traits: Adaptable, friendly, animator, charming, communicative, cooperative, democratic, dialoguing, diplomatic, hedonist, optimistic, reactive, sociable, hard worker. Creative right brain, high get average (ability to obtain consensus).

Hypnotic access door: warm maternal or paternal with elements of play. Excellent for narrative, metaphorical, conversational inductions.

VI. Magnetic Valences and Thumbs

A specific operational dimension of the Moving Enneagram is the reading of magnetic valences through the dominant thumb in hand clasping:

Right thumb on top — electric approach. Left hemisphere more active. Tendency to inhibit emotions through rational control (Bakan 1976, Galin 1974). «More neurotic» configuration in traditional nomenclature. Types RRL, RRR, RLR, RLL.
Left thumb on top — magnetic approach. Right hemisphere more active. Emotional expressiveness freer. «Sanguine» or «lymphatic» configuration. Types LLL, LLR, LRL, LRR.

Combinations with ear preference:

Extrovert (ear R) + left thumb on top → electromagnetic-sanguine (regulated mobilization)
Extrovert + right thumb on top → electric-choleric (directive mobilization)
Introvert (ear L) + left thumb on top → magnetic-lymphatic (deep receptivity)
Introvert + right thumb on top → diamagnetic-melancholic (controlled withdrawal)

This vocabulary, apparently metaphorical, corresponds to autonomic configurations that polyvagal theory redescribes with precision: electric/choleric = dominant sympathetic with moderate ventral tone; magnetic/lymphatic = dominant ventral; electromagnetic/sanguine = ventral + sympathetic in V+S; diamagnetic/melancholic = dominant dorsal.

VII. Posture, Breath, and Direction of Thought

Completing the typological framework, the Moving Enneagram integrates:

Characteristic Posture

The study by Canales et al. (2010) and related research have documented that:

Ideal or lordotic-kyphotic posture → extroverted predominance
Sway back / flat back → introverted predominance

This combines with the PMA movement axis (forward / backward / sinking / upper) to generate a specific postural framework for each type.

High Breath vs Low Breath

An additional test of the School distinguishes, among extroverts:

High breath and neck tension → more directive type (RLR, RRR, extroverted RRL)
Low breath → more influencing / consensual type (LLR, LRR)

This quick test allows distinguishing between Tribal and Idealist/Relational extroverts in seconds.

Direction of Thought

The thought of different types is oriented in specific ways:

Active express (expressive action) — RLR Tribal, RRL Narcissistic
Receive and react (reception and response) — LLR Idealist, LRR Relational
Reflection (internal reflection) — LRL Cartesian, LLL Sensitive
Active intuitive (active intuition) — RLL Creative, RRR Challenger

VIII. Communication Directions and Compatibility

Each type has a characteristic communicative approach:

Interrogative-objective — Cartesian, Creative (logical/creative intelligence)
Empathic-collaborative — Idealist, Sensitive (interpersonal intelligence)
Directive — Tribal, Challenger (social/practical intelligence)
Exploratory-narrative — Relational, Narcissistic (practical intelligence with speculative dimension)

This framework has direct application in PMA compatibility profiling: couple, team, client-operator relationship compatibility can be read from the combination of types and the compatibility of communicative directions.

The most harmonious combinations tend to be:

Tribal (RLR) + Idealist (LLR) — directivity + empathy, structure + warmth
Cartesian (LRL) + Relational (LRR) — analysis + communication
Sensitive (LLL) + Challenger (RRR) — depth + action (with risk of asymmetry)
Narcissistic (RRL) + Creative (RLL) — structure + imagination

The most conflictual combinations are often those mirroring on the same dimension (e.g., two competitive RRR types, two depressive-fused LLL types).

IX. The Integrated State as «Seventh/Ninth Configuration»

As the page The Six Character Types in the Polyvagal Map presents for the simplified version, the integrated state is not a fixed ninth house among the eight of the Moving Enneagram: it is the configuration of fluid passage between all houses, organized by the ventral vagus as a coordinating principle. The eight houses represent habitual trances — prevalent, sometimes rigid, ways of being in the world.

The integrated state corresponds to what the alchemical-hermetic tradition calls Philosophical Mercury or Quintessence, hesychasm calls apatheia (freedom from logismoi), the UR-KRUR Group calls in the page Presence (hermetic tradition) the «command-presence», and which the School operationally trains through Integral Presence™. All pages of the presence triad converge here: the integrated state is freedom from the eight typological trances, not their abolition but their availability as tools of the moment rather than fixed identities.

X. The Moving Enneagram within the Paret Method Framework

The Moving Enneagram is the most complete typological tool of the School and is situated between:

Paret Movement Analysis (PMA) — the observation system of which it is the typological synthesis
the polyvagal-Paracelsian typology — its simplified version
Touch and the Autonomic Nervous System — the neurobiological dossier that grounds it
the alchemical Tria Prima — its historical root
Integrated State and Integral Presence™ — its operational goal

The School teaches that typology is not a label: it is a lens for recognizing one's own habitual trance in order to traverse it. The value of the Moving Enneagram is not classificatory — it is operational: it allows the student to recognize themselves, recognize the other, choose the right access door, calibrate touch and fascination, and finally traverse their habitual configuration towards the integrated state.

On the level of historical-typological convergences, the Moving Enneagram particularly dialogues with the work of Claudio Naranjo (Character and Neurosis: An Integrative View, 1994), who was the main author to integrate the classic enneagram with contemporary clinical psychology and with the character typologies of the psychoanalytic and humanistic tradition. Naranjo explicitly recognizes that the enneagram describes nine ego fixations each of which constitutes a particular form of sleepiness towards reality — a concept that precisely converges with what the School calls habitual trance and which PMA allows to recognize diagnostically through lateralization and gesture. The School of the Paret Method is not Naranjian — its lineage is magnetic, hermetic, and polyvagal — but recognizes in Naranjo a bridge-author between the enneagram and 20th-century clinical psychology.

On the level of sport and performance, the Moving Enneagram also dialogues with the Action Types system of the French school of Ralph Hippolyte and Bertrand During (Sorbonne), systematized by Marquet in À chacun son cerveau, sa réussite (2013) and academically validated by the thesis of Lussiana (Université de Franche-Comté, 2016) with application at INSEP (Institut National du Sport). Action Types independently developed a grid of motor preferences (pelvis-shoulder axis, proximal vs distal mobility, dominant foot-hand support) that largely overlaps with the lateral-gestural grid of PMA, and in particular uses the nomenclature «profil Terrien» vs «profil Aérien» in the study of the golf swing — terminology that coincides with the Earth/Air/Water/Fire typology used by the School.

For lateral diagnostics, the classic epidemiological-statistical reference remains Stanley Coren and Clare Porac, Lateral Preferences and Human Behavior (Springer, 1981), which documents the distribution of lateral preferences in the population and their correlations with personality, cognition, and health. Coren is the statistical basis on which the octuple typology of the Moving Enneagram is epidemiologically founded.

For rapid hypnotic diagnostics, the system of Herbert Spiegel and David Spiegel Trance and Treatment (1978, rev. 2004) with the Hypnotic Induction Profile (HIP) — based on the «roll eye sign» and other ocular/kinesthetic indicators — provides a rapid screening tool that integrates well with PMA. The Spiegelian distinction between Apollonian / Odyssean / Dionysian profiles corresponds to lateral configurations compatible with the Moving Enneagram, with the School's nomenclature maintaining its original initiatory-magnetic lineage.

On the level of yoga-polyvagal convergence, the key article by Sullivan, Erb, Schmalzl, Moonaz, Taylor and Porges (Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2018, PMC5835127) explicitly documents the correspondence ventral vagus ↔ sattva, sympathetic ↔ rajas, dorsal vagus ↔ tamas — detailed in the page Guna and Tria Prima of the wiki. This convergence is the contemporary foundation of the relationship between alchemical typology (Sulphur/Mercury/Salt = Rajas/Sattva/Tamas) and polyvagal diagnostics, which the Moving Enneagram then brings to the octuple grid by integrating lateralization and gesture.
