I'm don't believe that the negative fear aspect of enneagram always remains an huge issue your whole life. In my experience once you conquer your fear it, it sort of stays dead and will only come back to life if you allow it.
I am an enneagram 1w9 or 9w1 and so one of my main fears is being flawed or morally corrupt. At the age of 14 I had to accept two things that I considered major flaws at the time:
1. having a flawed appearence because of really bad acne and a newly realized crooked nose likely do to an trampoline accident as a kid. It didn''t show until my nose grew more.
2. I decided that I needed to confess certain sins to my mom and my bishop.
For the first one, my acne went away with accutane, but the crooked nose remained. It put me in a depressed and low self esteem spell for a few years, but I learned to not be so judgemental of others for their appearence, and to not care so much if others found me odd looking.
The second one did bring me an intense amount of fear the first time I had to tell either of those, but after that I wasn't afraid to confess my sins to a Bishop at all or even a crowd of people or more if necessary.
It's the same way you overcome anyfear you face it head on. Like the fear of public speaking. Once you've done it a few times, the fear goes away.
If someone conquers their Enneagram fear. They become virtually untormented by it and much healthier. Then their enneagram just becomes the positive side, their key motivation, and then they are now able to focus on it.
Perhaps, it's like Helen Keller and the moment she finally figured out the gestures her teacher placed in her hand, symbolized other objects. You're always going to be blind and deaf, but once you break through your barriers, they no longer hold you back and you are free to advance.

The 4 Caterogires of Humor based off of Myers Briggs 2 (Simpler)
Easier and simplier because why not, I talk about stuff here that I failed to talk about stuff in the other message, so Hooray, centive.
Humor can be put into four catergories.
1. Sensation
2. Intuition
3. Logic
4. Emotion
Reductio ad Absurdum (reduce to absurdity in Latin) is the root cause of all genuine laughter, but there is a shortcut. You can signal absurdity is to follow. This will trick your mind into laughing even at the statement or conclusion even if it's true, and it's all through abnormality.
Abnormalities sticks out in the brain, and cause it to anticipate that absurdity is to follow. If you can successfully trigger this physical anticipation in the brain, then you can make someone laugh without observing an actual reductio ad absurdum. The statement or conclusion is true, but the person is laughing out of pure anticipation.
For all of these the idea is that you want to do something that differs from the perceived norm.
The Sensual Way
Convey abnormality through the senses.
-Visually: change how you look; e.g. animate your face or body with silly faces and gestures
-Auditorily:
Change how you sound; induce abnormality in.tone of voice, inflection, tempo, volume, and any others. e.g. high pitched voice, speed up chipmunk voice, slow deep voice
-Kinestectically: change how you move and behave e.g. crazy dancing
Any other sensual oddities, though most other senses such as taste or smell don't have language or communication based off of them. You're more than welcome to make a taste and smell based language, but it'd be impractical.
The Intuitive Way
Convey abnormality through interpretation and meaning
Sacrasm- mean the opposite of what you say
Irony/ Inappropriate Association- Two things that don't go together e.g duck in suit, cow eating a hamburger at McDonalds (Your favorite analogy.) reference jokes
Satire/Parody- indirectly say something is absurd. Satire is a reductio ad absurdum where the premises and conclusion are hinted at or implied rather than out right stated. Parody is satire through demonstration.
Spoonersyms, uh other ones
The Logic way
State logical fallacies
The Emotion Way
Surprise or Shock someone. This is the one type of humor that 95% of Google search articles say is the main and only reason we laugh. We laugh because we instinctively want to warn others of the perceived danger was false. e.g Spontaneous and random anything. Spongebob throughs Gary over the bathtub and he pops to the ground.
Karma-
Unfitting emotion- Have too much or too little emotion for the situation. e.g. screaming at the tops of your lungs because you got a paper cut, Win a millions dollars with confete and a cheering crowd yet have a unamused Squidward face.

The 4 Catergories of Humor Based off of Myers Briggs 1 (Deeper)
First let me explain what I have deduced laughter to truly be.
The mental experience of laughter is the mind immediately perceiving the falsity or absurdity of information.
*immediate perception in philsophy and my use here is what is instantly knowable without any other means necesary. It's what takes place in the mind. *Note: that you can immediately perceive something is false through laughter, but you may be misperceiving the facts. You can laugh at things that are actually true, but it would be because you misperceived or misintpreted the information. Had you accurately perceived the information, you would for certain know that it's false should you have the experience of laughter.
*mind. e.g. Sensations, thoughts, feelings, imaginations. Note that laughter is a perception, which is very different from an interpretation, in that intpretation is how your mind understands information which is perceived.
You can reach this conclusion by realizing that
1.Genuine laughter cannot be forced
2.An individual can deeply examine their own experience of laughter and everytime will conclude that the fundamental cause is a sense of falsity or oddity in some way and on some level.
A genuine experience of laughter is caused by an internal mental event or external stimulus. You can sort of force yourself to experience the perception of laughter, a forced laugh, but this truly is just recalling a stored experience of laughter once more.
I received this insight into humor based off of my understanding of psychology through the Myers Briggs Type Indicator. It deals with the deeper level of the indicator, the functions theory. So first I'll need to give you a crash course.
You don't need to know the details of how the indicator works, but it'd certainly be helpful. I'll make my point and then give more details about the indicator with a wikipedia article link after it, so if you find your self confused or in need of a further explaination skip down to the bottom of the message. It is a useful tool for understanding people and characters.
What you need to know is that it give us four psychological catergories for the mind called "functions" Sensing, Intuition, Thinking, and Feeling. Each person is 1 of 16 types and each has four functions in a specific order. The functions occupy different parts of the brain, so everyone can use them just not equally.
The 4 Psychological Catergories of Humor
1. Sensing
2. Intuition
3. Thinking
4. Feeling
What is Sensing?
The sensing function is focused on what can immediately be perceived to be true. The most common and powerful tools for immediate perception are the senses though the sensing function is not limited to this. People who strongly use this function have a strong sense of physical, "real life" reality. Their perceived reality based on what they themselves have observed. There are two directions for each function, introversion or extroversion which determines where a person prefers introversion or extroversion when using a specific function. It's represented by an i or e next to the letter so Si means Introverted Sensing while Se represents. Intuition functions are represented by an N so it's not confusing with Introversion, which is represented by an I.
Sensing Humor- sensation is the foundation of knowledge, so false statements, lies, and abnormal behavior.
Examples,
All forms of lying, including exaggeration. " I was so hungry I ate 1000 eggs."
Funny faces, odd dancing, harmless slap-stick and socially abnormal behovior for light humor, and extreme violence and crudeness etc. for dark humor. Dark humor is basically taking delight in the harm of others or making light of it, it can be any form of harm, physical, mental, emotional etc.
What is Intuition?
Intuition is naming, catergorizing, organizing, and intpretating information. It's the part of the brain that stores information not acquired through the senses, hypothetical knowledge, such as language, imagination, or other abstract concepts. Side note: What I learned from my logic class is that no one can imagine what is logically impossible. No matter how hard I try, I can't imagine a square circle because the definition of a square and a circle contradict each other; So, under that premise, anything imaginable is logically possible. You can know something is true purely through hypothetical examples and logic, called dedecutive reasoning. Deductive reasoning is the basis of mathematics; it's the reason math can tell you information about the world without testing or evidence /end side note. Intuition is heavily meaning and understanding based. It's very semantical rather than syntactical. Sensual perception is what you see, and intuitive perception is the interpretation of what you see.
A second side note: When a person's learning style it's most likely based off of the sensations the person initially used to create their abstract concepts. For exampe, a person who has a verbal learning style must have learned language and abstract conceptions through sound predominantly.
Intuition Humor- , perceivabled false intpretations of information and interpretations that lie outside of what one perceives to be normal interpretation; unfitting, uncommon, or abnormal associations and connections
Examples
Mistranslations, improper word use,
What is Thinking?
The thinking functions lie in the part of the brain that enables the perception and use of logic. People acting out of their thinking function have a strong desire to be challenged and achieve.
Thinking a.k.a Logic Humor- perceiving or interpreting information as logically fallacious in some way.
What is Feeling?
Emotions, morals
Feeling humor-inappropriate abnormal emotions, intensly sobbing and wailing because someone offers you icecream, Shouting joy and victory dancing when you find a penny on a ground. Most swearing humor is emotional humor because it's swear words are expressions of extreme emotion, but extreme emotion rarely fits the situation. The same effect can be achieve by using other words that sybolise extreme emotion. " You ate the last cookie?!! I HATE YOU!!!
Karma jokes are emotional humor too, as it's moral based, and morals are more or less emotion based.
Shock value, laughing at the unexpected, that's what you mean by "Shock value" right? There are levels of deepness to emotion so not all emotional humor is weighted equally. Peceiving something will hurt you, but then it doesn't so you're brain laughs as a cool down from the stress. It tends to be the cause that nothing phases me, so it's rare for me to genuinely laugh from shock. I'm not very emotional, so this all makes sense.
