NF's your enneagram type

Regardless, 1 and 4 tend to be the highest (and I know per enneagram theory they're linked anyway), with 5, 7, and 9 on the second tier.

INFJs are mostly 1s and 4s of course. However, sp 4s have a lot of type 1 traits, and sx 4s have a lot of type 2 traits.

I doubt F Fives even exist, much less that the majority of NFs has Five as their e-type. For example, ENFPs are far more likely to be Twos, Threes, 6w7s or Sevens than Fours or Fives.

The envious type.

^I thought I was 5w4 for a while there... I think it could happen.

[Delphyne]

There´s certainly the chance of some F Fives, though I doubt it, but there are a lot more people who mistype as Fives.

^Yeah I agree, I was really split quite evenly on the 4 and 5 but after doing a lot of reading 4w5 it is.

9 sx/sp

A strong wing can cause confusion, because both types blend into each other. Though, there are some telltale signs between the mirror types, which are easier to detect than to describe.

I agree. F Five is definitely a mistyping. Five is a common mistyping anyway because sometimes people think if they have intellectual pursuits they must be a five.

^I think 5w4 and 4w5 can get very murky. Personally I very much identify with the profile of the 5, not because of the intellectual pursuits (which I do have) so much as many other factors (analysis-paralysis, wanting to understand everything, desire for self-sufficiency and more). I also recognize myself when I read about the levels of health and the stress point (going to 7) and strength point (going to 8). I can't absolutely say that F Fives do not exist. I would very much doubt an F 5w6 but I think 5w4 is possible.

Yea, it's really murky. I have a strong 5 wing also. Another thing I noticed is I really relate to the 5 description for my first two instinctual stackings almost equally to the 4 description.
