I’ve revised the secure and stress shifts for the nine types of aliens so that they fit on an enneagram diagram:

  1. the Exterminator views humans as pests. Secure type is Epicure, stress is Watcher.
  2. the Helper views humans as potential (for improvement & uplift). Secure becomes Watcher, stress overlord.
  3. the Agent views humans as pawns (in an interplanetary version of the great game. )  Secure becomes Enemy, stress is Breeder.
  4. the Watcher views humans as entertainment. Secure is Exterminator, stress is Helper.
  5. the Researcher views humans as data. Secure is Overlord, stress is Epicure.
  6. the Enemy views humans as rivals. Secure shifts to Breeder, stress to Agent.
  7. the Epicure views humans (or parts of the human anatomy) as food (or commodities). Its secure type is Researcher, stress type is Exterminator.
  8. the Overlord views humans as slaves. Secure becomes Helper, stress Researcher.
  9. the Breeder views humans as genes. Secure shifts to agent, stress to Enemy.
