[Type 9] Enneagram 9s

[TopherRed]

Who are the 9s out here? What types are you in MBTI? Is there a universal?

 

[redacted]

There's no universal conversion between enneagram and MBTI because they describe different things.

I'm a 9 btw.

I'm a 9 btw.

And as an added inconvenience, the two systems have no common factor in their number of types.

9w8 sx/so. :hi: 9's seem to be pretty universal when it comes to MBTI type, but the most common ones appear to be I__P and INFJ (maybe ISFJ, haven't seen proof of that though).

 

[Kingfisher]

i am a 9 also.

 

[wolfy]

I'm 9 too. 9w8 sp from what I can tell. Or 9w8 sx.

 

[Glycerine]

9w1 SP/SO ENFJ

The variation of MBTI types within Enneagram types is always neat...especially this one! Everything from ISTPs to ENFJs...

I'm not a 9, but you guys seem alright.

Is it true that 9s are the most likely to identify with all the other types?

To an extent, of course.

Is it true that 9s are the most likely to identify with all the other types?

True in my case (9w1). I really relate to the information below, which can be found here.

We have sometimes called the Nine the crown of the Enneagram because it is at the top of the symbol and because it seems to include the whole of it. Nines can have the strength of Eights, the sense of fun and adventure of Sevens, the dutifulness of Sixes, the intellectualism of Fives, the creativity of Fours, the attractiveness of Threes, the generosity of Twos, and the idealism of Ones. However, what they generally do not have is a sense of really inhabiting themselves—a strong sense of their own identity.

Ironically, therefore, the only type the Nine is not like is the Nine itself. Being a separate self, an individual who must assert herself against others, is terrifying to Nines. They would rather melt into someone else or quietly follow their idyllic daydreams.

Red, a nationally known business consultant, comments on this tendency:

“I am aware of focusing on other people, wondering what they are like, how and where they live, etc. In a relationship with others, I often give up my own agenda in favor of the other person’s. I have to be on guard about giving in to other’s demands and discounting my own legitimate needs.”

Who are my 9s out here?

 

[Udog]

:hi:

 

[TopherRed]

:hi:There's one! Hi Udog!

 

[wolfy]

I am nine. Nine I am.

 

[Quinlan]

I am a nine Mr Sas.

 

[Udog]

:hi:There's one! Hi Udog!

But am I really Udog? Perhaps I am you.

Oh, blasted identity confusion!!

 

[TopherRed]

Lots of ISFPs are 9s...hmm...and all dudes. Ha.
