Xander, I would take the general motivations of the Enneagram archetype in question (which are not function-based, they are very broad in scope) and apply them to the MBTI type you're thinking of.

What are the needs of the Five? To develop detached understanding
What are the needs of the Nine? To preserve the peace/tranquility

So filter a basic INTP who focuses on each of these and that might answer your question.

Wings can also impact the traits you transfer over. A 5w4 has the need to understand impersonally, yet the need to express that understanding in a more personal way. A 9w1 has the desire to maintain the peace, and their behavior is driven by certain philosophical/moral ideals.

(and, in reverse, the 5w4 is less concerned about peace than about expression of truth about reality; the 9w1 is more concerned about balance and peace, along with promoting their internal ideals in ways that do not destabilize the peace)

Again, how would INTP look in light of each of these? Which facets get brighter? Which are dimmed or transmogrified?
