Forum: Enneagram

I've seen so many terrible correlation charts, that I decided to make my own when I was totally sure. I tried to make the colors as clear as possible for differentiation. Keep in mind that this is open to change, but I'd say in general that this is my opinion, and not much of this will change....

1) the 3's actions revolve around other people's opinions nope. the core focus of a 3 is external validation. the opinions of others are only one such form. other 3s look for other forms of validation, such as reaching a financial goal, or making a scientific discovery. 2) 3s love to brag...

I just got done reading through some threads on another forum about E4's and relationships. Wow! I can't even begin to convey how good it feels to see others talking about the same re occuring problems that I have. Many of my relationships start out beautifully, and can be very insightful and...

I need help. I just did one of those Enneagram tests online. I know, I'm an EFSJ. The Enneagram test shows me, that I equally scored on Types: 3,5 and 9. What does that mean?

I think I have traits of both those types but if I had to pick one right now it would be 5w6 ISTP but could I also get a description for what a 5w4 INTP is because there is an outside chance I could be that. Here is a video of me and you can vote in the poll about whether I am 5w6 ISTP or 5w4 INTP,...

I think I may be a 6w7 instead of 4w3. Yup. It kinda sucks when I consider how much I've written in e-gram threads about the 4w3 qualities and problems and <insert Charlie Brown telephone> whawhawah. I don't like appearing wishy-washy because when others do this (sometimes on a weekly or daily...

So I've noticed that a lot of type 8's tend to put their siblings/friends/family members through unnecessary "conditioning exercises" because they feel that they will make them stronger. For instance, in Tekken, the character "Heihachi Mishima" threw his son Kazuya off of a ledge because he figured...

Is such a thing possible? I was just thinking about something someone said earlier about how an MBTI type will most likely only be certain enneagrams. At first I was amused at the thought of ruling any out for a type, but then this hit me. An INFP with an 8 enneagram. Would that even work?...

What's my enneatype? It is between 6 w 7 and 7 w 6.... 1. What drives you in life? What do you look for? Safety, fun, adventure, success, prestige, sex, and understanding. 2. What do you hope to accomplish in your life? I hope to become famous at whatever I decide to do for a career. I...

I'm lost. Extensive reading of type descriptions and careful observation of those who identify with each type doesn't seem to help. I don't think I'm completely ignorant about Enneagram, but the more I research, the less perspective I seem to have about my personality in general. Is there a...

I would least like to be a 4 because they seem to be the most emo type on the enneagram. Also, I am a 6 already, lol, and that is probably the second worst choice on the enneagram list. Edit: I jacked this thread from Elfboy

Do you all think that being Social-first or -second is correlated with preferring Extraverted Feeling? In other words, do xxFJs tend to be either Social-first or -second? Conversely, does being Social-last preclude having Fe as your dominant or auxiliary function?

I start this thread in reaction to a message that Elfboy posted on my wall, asking about the differences between 6 and 7. This is from the Helen Palmer's book. It's not the original version, I translated from the french version. The dilemma of Type 6 6s lost truth in authority when they were...

I have a hard time to distinguish them. I think I'am one among the both, but I can't decide wich is the one. I'm sure I'm a sexual 9, I've read that the sexual nine is called the "union" type and that's totally fit with me. The social nine is called the "peripheral participation" type who can like...

Okay, ennegram confuses me the most than MBTI does. On certain tests I either get a 4, a 6, a 9, and the latest, a 5. For the longest time I thought I was a 4, then I think 6 sounds like me because I saw the 6 as being a loyal worry wart. 9...okay I do like peace and harmony, but I'm going to be...

Someone may have already made a thread about this, but I haven't found it, so... What are the main differences between 1w2 and 1w9? As I understand it, here are some of the differences: 1w9: More reserved, more level-headed, universal/cosmic idealism, less confrontational, misanthropic...

You know you're a type 4 when: - You find beauty in the most unusual things. - Learning is a beautiful emotional experience for you. It's not just absorbing knowledge; it's a wondrous experience where knowledge brings light to everything around you. - You've always felt different from...
