The One with a Two-wing:
“The Advocate”
The traits of the One and those of the Two support each other in many ways. Both the One and the Two strive to comply with the rules–to be “good” according to their internalized values. Ones want to be righteous and balanced, Twos want to be selfless and all-loving. On the other hand, Ones are rational and impersonal, while Twos are emotional and involved with people. Although One is the basic personality type, there is a noticeable degree of warmth as well as an interpersonal focus in people of this subtype, compensating for the One’s emotional control. The Two-wing also makes them more fiery and action-oriented than Ones with a Nine-wing. Ones with a Two-wing want to roll up their sleeves and get involved, whereas the other subtype tends to maintain distance.
They can be gernerous, kind, helpful, and good-humored, offsetting the One’s more rigid demeanor.
The Two-wing softens the One’s tendancy to be overly harsh and judgmental. If thoughfulness and love of neighbor are their ideals, Ones with a Two-wing will attempt to be caring and personal, trying to take needs of others into consideration. They can be gernerous, kind, helpful, and good-humored, offsetting the One’s more rigid demeanor. They are more willing to work to bring about the changes they desire amd are often found in many of the helping professions; such as teaching, ministry, and medicine.
Average people of this subtype are well-intentioned and seek to educate others, coming from a desire to exert personal influence over others. They are convinced not only that they are right, but that they are well-meaning. They are frequently involved in public causes and reforms of one sort or another out of a sense of personal responsibilty for the welfare of others. Average Ones want to control themselves, while average twos want to control others: these motives reinforce each other. Tendancies to perfectionism, a strict conscience, and self-importance may play a role. They are prone to anger and resentment when others don’t folow their “suggestions”, not liking to have their ideals or motives questioned.
Unhealthy Ones with a two-wing may be intolerant and condescending to those that disagree with them. They may attempt to manipulate others emotionally, making them feel guilty for being less perfect than they should be. They have a tendancy towards self-deception of their own motives, becoming hypocrites by not practicing what they preach. There is a tremendous amount of repressed aggresion in them, and they may have nervous breakdowns as a result of anxiety.
