The big ol' bowl of Enneagram

[Evan]

"A one would turn-in their own friend for commiting a crime, and the Two would not."

i would talk to them about it first, but yeah, if i thought they really screwed up (it would have to really hurt someone else), i'd tell them to turn themselves in or i would.

"The Two is likely to over pamper and smother a child, whereas a One is likely to be too harsh and demanding."
i'd be more likely to over pamper than be too harsh.

i'm prolly a 1w2.

like a 1.4

I've been thinking about starting nine polls, one for each enneagram type. It'd be like. Myself or someone I know is an (MBTI) type 1. Then they'd be given the 16 MBTI types as choices. I could imagine this would lead to some problems, though.

First, there would be inaccurate guess typing of the MBTI and Enneagram type. Perhaps if someone knew me and knew I was an INTP, they might think I'm a type 5 when I'm actually a type 9. Second, if such voting for someone you know is done it's possible people could be referring to someone they know off of SMinds, for example. Then somebody else could come along and vote for the same person. I thought about just collecting as many MBTI and ennegram matches as I could find here and at SMinds. That's too much work, though.

But getting useful amounts of turn-out is hard for even one poll, I'm afraid.

The magic number is supposed to be three-hundred-something if I remember correctly. School is so useless. I can hardly remember anything I learned there.

How can I find my wing? I got these results.. this test only found that I'm a 7, a believable result. 9 and 3 has the next greatest scores, but according to theory they can't be a wing. 8 has nearly as great a score, and it can be wing, so is that it? 7w8?

7w6 is much further down the chart.

Type score type behavior motivation
7 52 I must be high and entertained to be happy.
9 47 I must be peaceful and easy to get along with to be happy.
3 46 I must be impressive and attractive to be happy.
8 45 I must be strong and in control to be happy.
1 36 I must be perfect and good to be happy.
5 36 I must be knowledgable and independent to be happy.
6 36 I must be secure and safe to be happy.
4 32 I must avoid painful feelings to be happy.
2 29 I must be helpful and caring to be happy.

Yes, you'd be a 7w8.

Your main type is Type 5
Your variant is self pres

5 sp/sx/so


I see that 5 & 9 are only 1 point difference, what would you think about this? How would you read this? I defer to your greater understanding of the Enneagram types. Curiosity, you know

[prplchknz]

both types fits but I always get either 4w5 or 5w4 scores on both 5 and 4 are usually very close. The next highest score for me is usually 9

Scoring high on both Five and Nine is a common occurrence.
My great, arcane wisdom states that this just means you are rather evenly divided on those qualities.

And specifically regarding prplechknz, I think your results are rather fascinating. It doesn't usually happen. You are really more the type inbetween than you are the whole type.
Sort of a 4.5.
