Not sure if there are. I am willing to bet that there probably does exist some theory somewhere. I am not very much involved in the enneagram, so I would not know for certain or not. I, a 5 (wings currently undecided), find myself generally irritated by 2s, 7s, 3s, 6w7s, and 8w7s. I generally get along relatively well with 5s, 4w5s, 6w5s, 1w9s, 9w8s. The rest (4w3s, 1w2s, 8w9s, 9w1s) I usually have no remarkable opinion of.
That looks like you (an introverted and independent type) getting along with other introverted types and being irritated by extraverted or dependent types

(One grouping of the types is Dependent Types -2,6,7, Aggressive Types -8,3,1, and Withdrawing Types -5,9,4).

This is a typical pattern in temperament theory. (Not Keirseyan temperament, which is not based on I/E, but more like the Interaction Styles). While you may clash with 7's, is there still a kind of attraction to them?

Interestingly, Nines and Eights pair often, even with the man being the Nine. Funny though, since the one loves to fight so much and the other hates it.

But it's always nice to hear someone(even a man) throw on some positive words for Ones. I rarely see people mention us when talking about attraction. :cry:

Ones are hot.

I'm a four who is a sucker for eights.

You're a four???
Me too.

Oh cool. Ok I'm a withdrawn type that's attracted to dependent types. Is that common?

I'm a head-type (5w6). For some reason I get along pretty well with heart-types (2,3,4), particularly Dreamers (4). It must be their introspection and gentleness that I find attractive and easy to get along with. On the other hand, I don't know many other head-types in real life (5,6,7) and I wonder how well I would get along with them...

I got a three-way tie (same score) for 8, 6 and 1 but it said I was 8. How did it get there? Anyway, I take it that this means I am multiply compatible with many many people. :D

It means that you aren't extremely stuck to certain patterns or archetypes. Odds are if you keep taking the test over and over again, a single type is more likely to show itself in the average results.

What I can say is that between 1, 6, and 8, you are probably rather cynical. :D I imagine you're tough and stubborn, too.

Anywhere NTPs are located, apparently.

Eight, Seven, Five, are the most common bets, I think. Still, I'm a One even though I'm an INTP. I'll find some way to sell type Ones.


I am prepared to argue, if anyone disagrees with me, that Batman is actually a One. Ehhhh? Ehhhhhh? I'm Batman!(and Jesus Christ, Martin Luther, John Calvin, and Adolf Hitler... ahem).

Hmmm . . . I forgot to mention that 4/5 tie for next strongest. That, my friend, makes a quivering puddle of gooey sensitivity. :smile:
Are you buying what I am selling yet?

I never buy things without knowing the price. :coffee:

I'm not impressed. Now, a steaming COW PAT of sensitivity - now THERE's a winner!

Gee kid. Live a little. Who know what wonderful surprises you will find in the goodie bag.

Actually, usually goodie bags give you the price, but you don't know what the product is. You're giving me the product, but not telling me the price.
I could find a really nice pen, and think "I want this pen", but if I'm not allowed to know the price, then I could buy it and find out that it was $200 for that little pen.

If I didn't avoid things like that, I just wouldn't be a type One INTP now would I? :smooch:

In theory. I knew one who would learn about price only when it was time to pay. Then again he was a spoiled brat with little reverence for the value of money. Sometimes you get more than you bargained for though. ;)

*ends attempt at snake oil peddling*

Snake oil tastes like pure glee.

They do. It's a sad sad testament to the state of our world. Who can we rely on for impractical cynical exuberance if not our 19 year olds? Who told him he could be practical, open and introspective?! That's decay, my friend! DE. CAY. :D The 19 year olds in my glory day were black miasmic clouds of deplorable angst and unsafe driving! Bring it back!

It's still mostly like that, I'm afraid. :dry:
