I'm so much on the border of 3w2-2w3. It's so hard for me to tell. I just put 3w2 because I would feel more pride in being a 3 (sorry to 2s).

People *really* wanna be 7w8. Interesting. As much as I enjoy 7s and 8s, I find 7w8 a type I'm a bit wary of at first, till I figure out what matters to them, as they can be rather unpredictable and coarse at times.

I'm 4w5 sp/sx

I'd love to be some sort of a 9.

My INFP boyfriend is 9w1, so, well...

I did not understand 9s at first, but then recently I've realized I love a lot of my INFP's 9-ness, which is utterly adorable.

No preference for kids, but a 6w7 or 7w6 might be interesting -- we'll have a wild time as a family :blush:

I kinda wish I was Sx 4 now. They're kinda badass in a "I've been through some shit" kinda way.

7w8s in the lead. Surprise surprise!

Why haven't people selected 8w7 instead I wonder.

1) What is your enneagram core type and tritype?


173. Though the 7 fix is questionable. I cannot distinguish whether the influence is from DOI or a fix. The alternative is 163.

2) If you had to be an enneagram type other than your own, which would it be? (You must choose a core other than your own, but you can pick the wing if you'd like.)

None of them. They're all flawed.

3) If you could imagine an ideal SO, what enneagram type would he or she be?

The 8w7 is very nice. Little bastard won't leave my mind. :mad::mad::mad::wubbie::mad::mad::mad:

4) If you had to have one child, and you could choose his/her enneagram type, what would it be?

Probably a 3. Competence, responsibility, and confidence. I find these 3 help in dealing with but not a solution to worldly problems.

I like 7w8s, OK!

Came to say I'd probably be a 4w5. Saw I'd already taken care of it.

2013 Rex--you da real MVP :wubbie:

Core is 8w9 sx/sp. Tritype is 872.

2) If you had to be an enneagram type other than your own, which would it be? (You must choose a core other than your own, but you can pick the wing if you'd like.)

I'm actually pretty happy with what I'm working with. My inner ISFP is pretty 4ish, and that's a part of myself I really revel in. I could do 4w5 for a minute.


3) If you could imagine an ideal SO, what enneagram type would he or she be?

The guys I tend to whom I'm most attracted tend to be charismatic and as idealistic as they are pragmatic. Maybe a touch on the tempestuous side as well. I seek out men who have an elemental quality to them. Visionaries and young masters of the universe. That kind of thing. I've been involve with various kinds who have those qualities, but most of them do seem to have some sort of connect to 3. Either as 3s themselves, as a wing, or as a disintegration/integration point.

4) If you had to have one child, and you could choose his/her enneagram type, what would it be?


This question is funny because implicit in it is the question, "Which failing would you prefer as a parent?" As much as I'd love a kid who was a 7, I would never want to think that at some point my baby felt that he or she wouldn't have everything they wanted or needed. Or some little 9 who felt that they were punished for exerting themselves in their environment. Maybe a 1 as I can't remember what their pathology is right now, and it'd be nice to feel that I'd raised a child with those kinds of principles.

1w9 4w5 5w6 (145) would be what I'd rather be if I wasn't 459.

9 and 927.

2) If you had to be an enneagram type other than your own, which would it be? (You must choose a core other than your own, but you can pick the wing if you'd like.)

Three, Eight, One, or Five.

But really anything but 9 is an improvement.


3) If you could imagine an ideal SO, what enneagram type would he or she be?

Anything aside from 6.

4) If you had to have one child, and you could choose his/her enneagram type, what would it be?

Eight.

That embarrassing moment when people resurrect very old threads in which I was mistyped and completely misunderstanding enneagram..

I actually can't even remember you as an 8 :shock: I remember you being ENFP in the past...but I think I always saw you typed as sx 4. How long ago did you make this change?
