The type correllations have no doubt been discussed before, but I'd like to do a simple poll.

The following site provides a quick review of correlations made by different authors:
http://webspace.webring.com/people/cl/lifexplore/typecorr.htm
Note the coloured table at the bottom of the page.

To answer the poll, look to see how your enneagram type is supposed to correlate with your MBTI type and answer the following on the poll:

Black - More Common
Dark Blue - Quite Common
Light Blue - Less Common
White - Least Common

I'm definitely INFJ and pretty sure I'm 6w5. It's down as "quite common". Which is somewhat contrary to popular wisdom, but it makes a lot of sense for me.

I am positive that I am ENFJ 5w6 SP/SO so white.

that is quite possibly the least likely enneagram and instinct variant for an ENFJ :D

Light blue. ISTP 6w5.

For some reason there are no dark blue squares for ISTP. I'm surprised 7 is "more common" and 6 is "less common" for ISTP, considering the enneatypes of the ISTPs here. I'm more surprised that the "most common" black boxes for 6s are esfj, isfj, and ENTJ. Seems like the results are all over the place, really.

I would say it's more unlikely for an ESFJ to be like that. :yes:

Haha, I was also strongly considering 6w5 but I didn't really relate to the XNFJ 6w5s I have seen.

There's plenty of ISTP 7's. Elfboy's favorite, Gambit, is an ISTP 7w8. :D

I also noticed there is no "least common" choice for 6. Which ties in with the idea that 6s can be readily found in all types, but yeah, a bit all over the place... I looked at the other type correlations on that page too, and they were SERIOUSLY all over the place.

ENFP 7. Black.
ENFP ones and 5's are uncommon. Makes sense!

You know, Type 6's are the most diverse Enneatypes of all the Enneatypes, but I wonder what the most diverse MBTI type is out of all the MBTI types... ENFP?

INTP 5 here, which is the most common category. Kinda makes me wish I had a more unusual MBTI/enneagram combo.

Just found a series of enneagram articles that describes pretty much everything there is to know about a type. More importantly, the poster writes the correlation between each enneagram type and MBTI type. I haven't read through all, but most descriptions seem dead on:

http://personalitycafe.com/articles/65627-enneagram-article-series.html
The 6 description seems pretty bang-on, and explained better than many others out there.

edit: from the article, "Type 6 is the most misunderstood type in the enneagram". Take that, NFs! You're not the most misunderstood! :alttongue:
