Anyone know what the deal is on this? I've seen this as "security" and "stress" points; I've seen it as "lines of integration and disintegration". I've also just heard them called "connections". Are there differences in theory? (I never followed this part too closely because I didn't see my type and therefore didn't see this phenomenon in myself.)
I first started with Riso and Hudson, who explain dis/integration as going one way when you're experiencing stress and the other way when you're experiencing growth. I see this a LOT in me as a 7--massive, huge, and ugly connection to 1. But I can also see many positive attributes of 1 in my general life--I'm generally described as wise, discerning, tolerant, painstakingly fair, and responsible. The same thing with 5--I can be bitter, misanthropic, withdrawn, and contemptuous of that ship of fools known as humanity--in addition to being intensely focused and fascinated by the world. I think of them more as clear connections which influence me in more than one way.
(My tritype has an 8 and 4, which also have 1 and 5 connections; I don't know to what degree that influences it, if at all. I feel no connection to 2.)
What's your experience with this? Do you integrate/disintegrate? Or is it more like having a connection to those points?
