CNET Integration & Stress Paths Flashcards

Type 9 disintegrates toward which type, and how does this manifest behaviorally?

Answer: Type 6 — Type 9 becomes anxious and paranoid

Type 9 disintegrates toward Type 6, and under stress, the typically peaceful, conflict-avoidant Type 9 becomes anxious, worried, suspicious, and reactive in a way that is uncharacteristic of their usual easygoing presentation.

In CNET teaching, what is the 'redemptive move' or gift of the integration path for Type 1?

Answer: Type 1 integrates to Type 7, accessing spontaneity, joy, and freedom from perfectionism

Type 1 integrates toward Type 7, and in growth, the typically serious and self-restrained Type 1 can access lightness, spontaneous joy, and freedom from the relentless inner critic, allowing genuine pleasure and playfulness.

A CNET teacher is working with a Type 2 client who is becoming increasingly dependent, manipulative, and covertly aggressive. This is an example of:

Answer: Type 2 disintegrating toward Type 8

Type 2 disintegrates toward Type 8, and under stress, the typically giving and approval-seeking Type 2 can become coercive, demanding, and aggressive — insisting on being recognized for their giving.

How do CNET teachers differentiate between the disintegration path and a 'wing' in behavioral observation?

Answer: Wing traits are relatively stable and present across contexts; disintegration behaviors appear specifically in response to stress and feel reactive or out of character

Wing traits are consistent, integrated aspects of personality present across many contexts, while disintegration behaviors are reactive, often unconscious, and specifically triggered by stress or perceived threat.

When does Type 5 integrate, and what quality do they access in growth?

Answer: Type 5 integrates to Type 8, accessing confidence, decisiveness, and willingness to engage with the world

Type 5 integrates toward Type 8, and in growth, the typically withdrawn, resource-conserving Type 5 develops willingness to step forward, act decisively, and engage confidently with the world rather than only observing from a distance.

A CNET teacher helps a Type 6 client understand their integration path. What type do they move toward in growth?

Answer: Type 3

Type 6 integrates toward Type 9, and in growth, the typically anxious, vigilant Type 6 accesses Type 9's groundedness, inner peace, and trust in the present moment, reducing hypervigilance.
