I just discovered this article written yesterday in the New York Times. It’s discussing 15 years’ worth of research that indicate some children are born with anxiety.

I can’t even look beyond the first couple paragraphs without my Type Eight wanting to say, “duh!”

To me, and to those with whom I talk enneagram, the notion that type is present from birth seems obvious. As does the notion that some people have more anxiety, innately, than others. Sound like a potential Type Six, anyone?

(Funny enough, the person who sent this to me is, in my opinion, an unidentified Type Six.)

Certainly, some of these “anxiety” babies they talk about in the study could be other types as well. And I’m curious about what you think.
