[NF] Most Common Enneagram Types for Each NF

[Random Ness]

What do you think they are?

ENFJ: 2 > 3 > 1
ENFP: 7 > 2 > 4
INFJ: 4 > 1 > 5
INFP: 4 > 9 > 5

NFs lack: 6 & 8

^I get this list from comparing all the polls on typologycentral and personalitycafe to the empirical and graph-result studies on this site: Type Correlations No amount of arguing will convince me that the types or type order is different unless you show me polls and studies from MORE sites.

 

[Viridian]

IMO:

ENFP: 7, 4, 9, 3, 2, a few 6s
INFP: 9, 4, 6, 5, 2, a few 1s
INFJ: 1, 4, 9, 2, 5
ENFJ: 2, 3, 8, a few 6s

Those are just the most common, of course. Recently, for example, Savage Idealist considered the idea of an ENFJ 9w1 (in regards to director Hayao Miyazaki).

 

[Savage Idealist]

I agree with Viridian's assertions, although i naddition to what he mentioned I think that these types could apply as well (my additions bolded):

ENFP: 7, 4, 9, 3, 2, 8 a few 6s
INFP: 9, 4, 6, 5, 2, a few 1s
INFJ: 1, 4, 9, 2, 5, 6
ENFJ: 2, 3, 8, 1 a few 6s

Oh cool you remembered that Indeed, NF's can encompass a wide range of the enneagram, as can every other type

 

[SRT]

The few times that I've taken enneagram tests over the years I've gotten: 1, 2, 4, 5, and 9. Used to think that I was 4w5, but now that I'm not as depressed as I was, 9 and 5 both seem like they fit better.

Hope that helps.

 

[Elfboy]

hmm:
INFJ: 4, 1, 5, 6, 2
ENFJ: 2, 3, 1
ENFP: 7, 4, 3, 9 (I can easily see an ENFP or an any enneatype)
INFP: 4, 9, 5, 6, 1

 

[Random Ness]

Updated the OP post...I'll have to take into consideration what people say besides using studies and polls.

INFJ: 4, 1, 5, 6, 2

INFJ: 4w5, 1w2, 5w4, 5w6, 6w5, 2w1
ENFJ: 2w1, 2w3, 3w2, 1w2
ENFP: 7w6, 4w3, 3w4, 9w8 3w2, 7w8, 9w1

INFP: 4w5, 9w1, 9w8, 4w3, 5w4, 6w5, 1w9

For INFJs: 1w9 and 9w1, too. I have seen quite a few of these.

I see 1w9 and 9w1 as more INFP as they're more correlated with introverted feeling. 1w2 (the advocate) is a more Fe enneatype. just my thoughts though, the enneagram continues to be a source of confusion for me

 

[Viridian]

For INFJs: 1w9 and 9w1, too. I have seen quite a few of these.

Pretty likely, I guess, since several ISFJs are 9w1s... Like Miss Honey from Matilda.

Final update:

ENFJ: 2 > 3 > 1
ENFP: 7 > 2 > 4
INFJ: 4 > 1 > 5
INFP: 4 > 9 > 5

Being an NF myself, I've actually observed the following patterns in enneagram:

More commonly

ENFJ: 1w2; 2w1; 2w3; 3w2; 3w4; 6w7; 8w9; 9w8
ENFP: 2w3; 3w2; 3w4; 4w3; 6w7; 7w6; 7w8; 9w8
INFP: 1w9; 4w5; 5w4; 6w5; 6w7; 9w1
INFJ: 1w2; 1w9; 2w1; 4w3; 4w5; 5w4; 6w5; 9w1

I've also actually seen some INFP 2w1s on rarer occasions, as well as INFJ 8w9s or ENFP 8w7s.

[misfortuneteller]

ENFJ:
2w3
2w1
3w2

ENFP:
7w6
7w8
6w7

INFP:

9w1 (I have actually come across a lot of INFP 9w1s that have said that they want to be 4w5s.)

4w5 (I think that the INFPs that people tend to notice tend to be the 4w5 ones but it makes no sense for 4 to be the most common core type for any MBTI type.)

6w5 (A lot of 6w5 INFPs tend to want to be 4w5s or 9w1s because of silly stereotypes about 6s that tend to be encouraged by the bitterly misunderstood 4s, 5s and 8s.)

INFJ:
6w5
9w1
1w2

(Most of the 4 INFJs are clearly mistyped INFPs, come on.)

About the ENFJ , are you saying that 2w3 are less common than 2w1 ? Well, this isn't true.

I remember that 2w1 are 13% of type 2
And 2w3 are above 50% of type 2
And type 1are the rarest , am I wrong?

 

[Frosty]

Id say

ENFJ: 2w1, 2w3, 6w7, 7w6, 7w8, 1w9, 1w2 (in about that order)- so 2, 6, 7, 1- with the occasional 8 and 9 thrown in

2>6>=7=1

INFJ: 9w1, 4w3, 4w5, 1w9, 1w2, 9w8, 6w5, 6w7, 2w1, 2w3 (more or less (but more less) in that order- more even than ENFJs for sure)- so 9, 4, 1, 6, 2 with the occasional- very occasional- other type thrown in. But those are more of outlier than ENFJ

9=4=1=6>=2

ENFP: 7w6, 7w8, 6w7, 8w9, 8w7, 6w5- more or less in the same order- with the occasional 2, 9, or 4. But really I think most Pe types are 7s. Maybe thats short sighted but... Pe and 7 go about as strongly together as 4 and NF types. So 7, 6,8

7>>>>>>>6=8

INFP: 9w1, 9w8, 4w5, 4w3, 6w5, 6w7- with the occasional 1 thrown in. (Most INFPs are 4 or 9 imo- its such a withdrawn type that anything but a withdrawn feeling enneagram is just developmentally not super likely) So 9, 4, 6

9=4>6

These days I think 2w3s are more common than 2w1s for both ExFJ/Fe-dom types, especially after looking at these survey results. My original list was based on my observations of NFs' self-typings online, but I hadn't seen many ENFJs so my sample size was too small to get an accurate idea of what their most common e-types are.

1s are more likely to be online than 3s, too. And 2w3 descriptions often sound more vague than 2w1 descriptions, so some 2w3s probably mistype as 2w1s, thinking that their need to be socially regarded as good people is the same as the 2w1's need for social order and a rigid moral compass. My 2w3 friend thought she was a 2w1 at first because of the 2w1's emphasis on being a good person, but she realized that she had a difficult time defining to herself what was good vs bad and didn't much care for the internal pondering of morality, it was the image of goodness that she was attracted to.

 

[Red Memories]

I actively notice INFP 6s so I am not 100% sure I agree with a lack of 6s. Many may type as 6w7.

also haven't met an NFJ 3 XD

That helped alot! Somehow I can now recognise my 2w3 friends and ohers. When comparing w3 with w1 , I noticed that w3 are more sensitive about the image and care more about how they look .they might have tromas and esteem issues going on forever because of self image, while w1 might be able to grow out of it a bit easier or forget about people and their opinion sometimes.
