I wish I were ESFP or ENFP, they just seem to get along with everyone so well and generally have it the easiest. It seems like people always want to be TJ or at least T, but it seems cold and dark over there. I guess the grass is always greener on the other side right.

I don't know much about enneagram but I would rather be a 925 than a 529 if that is possible.

I really like Te, so the only other type I would consider is ENTJ. :D

Yes but we have really warm blankets and socks.

Stay an ENFP and change society! So as to live a comfortable life materially, while reading and making connections and researching and making a social impact. I used to do persuasive writing, it was an excellent job--analyze, advocate, call to action, on all the jucy, current, human, local issues. Mmmmmm :)

Many say ENFP are the most introverted extroverts. And I am so strongly N that most S seem like alien robots. Am pretty close to T and J though, so if trying hard enough, can act like an ENTP (strategy work), ENFJ (teaching) or ENTJ (solving problems and bossing people around, it's draining though).

After I save some money, it's featury-investigative journalism, baby! A gluttonous smorgasboard of possible connections.

INFP with highly developed Ne. I wouldn't want to give up my Fi-dom-ness, but I wouldn't mind having some of that Ne rich imagination, mental quickness, and eloquence/verbal creativity. I think many of the brilliant musicians, writers and artists who I admire most are INFPs (Tori Amos, Van Gogh, Neil Gaiman, Shakespeare, Kate Bush, Fiona Apple, etc.)

Not that I dislike being an ISFP or that having Se doesn't come with its own strengths.

I like being an ESTP. It's fun ;) If I had another choice, I would be ENTP or ESFP. I like the kind of sarcastic, smart humor that ENTPs have, and the ability to be like an ESTP, but just actually "get emotions" like an ESFP.

Before I really knew what MBTI was, (I mean I was aware of it but only my type and even then not really) I really tried hard to be an ESTP and I hung out with a lot of ESTPs because I thought that's what a person should be like at their best. I have a feeling life would be a lot more fun if I really were one. Eventually I couldn't hang out with them any more, because they thought I was judging them and talking down to them even though I absolutely wasn't. :(

:( Sorry, we can assume that people are talking down to us or think we're stupid sometimes. I'm not even sure why, it could be a desire for super high self-esteem and not wanting to be too closely inspected or proven wrong. I think the rest of it is probably just arrogance.

I'm actually pretty content with the type I am already. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I'd like to be each of the 16 types throughout the span of 16 distinct lifetimes(though perhaps that is just a means towards an end...), including my own type as someone else with a differing enneagram flavor or all 16 types at once, within the span of one lifetime somehow.

I'd be curious to see what would happen to a person if you went inside their brain and changed their cognitive functions around while leaving everything else (memories, intelligence, etc) the same. i.e. if you changed an ESTJ into an INFP.

ISxP. I like the focus and how immersed they are in the world around them.. and I love how in tune they are with their own bodies and with the things and people they interact with.

It'd be nice if I could be ISFP.
