Are some people biologically doomed to be stuck in spiral dynamics stage blue?

In what way do you mean? How does biology have a huge impact on the ego?

Personality wise. Some People s neurologi hold them back.

A psychopath for example can't feel empathy because of his neurology in the brain. It is impossible.

In other words, it is impossible that this guy will develop into stage green for example, and one can say losly speaking that he is therefor stuck with this fat ego, because of his neurology. He might learn a lot and become less selfish in the next life, but a psychopath can't become a sage in this life - it's unrealistic.

3: Isn't spiral dynamics more of a modell on personality types than ego development? I mean,  If all the people can't climb up - doesn't that open up for the possibility of sprial dynamics being an illusion which in reality mostly describes personality types? ( I mean it certainly is both - but some people can't seem to be bound by their personality)

Recently thought about this while falling asleep: 

What Spiral Dynamics does is that it lays out the "developmental pathway" that an individual will follow if he should happen to grow. It doesn't mean that everybody will grow to reach the same levels, only that the growth follows the same order of stages.

It's like differences in height: some people are shorter than others, because they're either growing slower or have stopped growing all together, but when you're growing, you will go from being shorter to being taller. Just like how biology impacts your height, it can also impact your SD development.

Interesting perspective! Thanks
