Hi,

Is it common for INFP to be 4w5 as well? What are the characteristics of INFP 4w5? INFP 4w5s, do you have a website or social networking account?

I may be one as well, but I'm not a big fan of Enneagram, so who knows.

Fellow INFP 4w5, in what ways are you creative? Why are 4w5s called Bohemian? Are we just self-absorbed bums or is it just me? :D

I'm creative through music, writing, and to a lesser degree, drawing and painting. Pretty standard in that sense...

Oh yeah, I'm a four too, but I score pretty close on 6 as well.

Can't decide if I'm a 4w5 or a 5w4. But I guess that's close enough...

I am also a 4w5. I find that the MBTI describes personalities as snapshots in time but the Enneagram makes more sense to me in describing motion and interaction. (The symbol was designed to do this long before personality types were applied to it.) I really wish the MBTI had something like the levels of integration/disintegration and the levels of health. I find the MBTI useful but these features honestly make the Enneagram more useful to me personally.

I'm a complicated 4w5. I've taken all the tests and I still don't truly know where I fit in.


Four With a 5 Wing
Healthy side of this wing brings a withdrawn, complex creativity. May be somewhat intellectual but have exceptional depth of feeling and insight. Very much their own person; original and idiosyncratic. Have a spiritual and aesthetic openness. Will find multiple levels of meaning to most events. May have a strong need and ability to pour themselves into artistic creations. Loners; can seem enigmatic and hard to read. Externally reserved and internally resonant. When they open up it can be sudden and total. When entranced or defensive, Fours with a 5 wing can easily feel alienated and depressed. Many have a sense of not belonging, of being from another planet. Can get lost in their own process, drown in their own ocean. Whiny - tend to ruminate and relive past experience. Prone to the emotion of shame. Air of sullen, withdrawn disappointment. May live within a private mythology of pain and loss. Can get deeply morbid and fall in love with death.

Healthy

Healthy 4w5’s brings profound creativity and insights of the intrapsychic sort. Their emotions are more under-the-surface than 4w3’s, and more private modes of communication (such as writing) are preferred. They have intellectual as well as emotional insights and can often synthesize experiences into something intensely personal yet timeless.

Average

Average 4w5’s are devoted to cultivation of a personal worldview, often by philosophical or artistic means. They are more likely than the 4w3’s to be reclusive and out-of-touch with the greater social world, and to compensate they adopt unconventional/eccentric ways of life. They can be purposefully obscure and enigmatic in their expressions, then have an elitist and contemptuous view of those who failed to understand them. They tend to withdraw for prolonged periods under stress which can leave them further isolated. As a result, they are prone to hallucinatory states and total alienation.

Unhealthy

Unhealthy 4w5’s inhabit a terrifying fantasy-world of their own creation. Their emotional torments are turned inward, causing severe depression and self-destructive thoughts. While average 4w5’s can romanticize death, unhealthy 4w5’s plunge into it.

I'm ENFP 4w5!

Though I'm low on extroversion. So if it is common for INFPs, then it isn't that strange.
