Hey Om!
I saw this when you first posted it and I've been meaning to respond. I guess I was waiting to see what others might say, but no one else seems to be jumping aboard. Apparently, this pod isn't very active at the moment.
I tailor the way I communicate depending on who I am communicating with. I do consider such things as Spiral Dynamics and also typologies, but not in a direct way. The knowledge is there and plays out mostly in a subconscious way. I don't usually actively think about what type or meme someone is.
I haven't studied the Enneagram much, but I have studied Jungian typology very deeply moreso than I have with SD. Hanging out on various Jungian typology forums has taught me how to shift the way I'm communicating. A large percentage of discussions on Jungian typology forums are simply about how people discuss… meta-communication to an extreme level. I'm an INFP and INFPs particularly love meta-communication. When I visit an INTP board, its an entirely different world. Before visiting an INTP board, I didn't realize how significant personality could be.
I've been on some integral forums where I thought people could use some insight from personality theory. The majority of the arguments on the now closed Lightmind seemed to me to be nothing other than differences in personality styles. I've wondered for some time why personality theory doesn't get discussed much amongst integralists.
