So blackcat, what is my enneagram type?
Also what is my socionics type?
Also do you think I am actually an ENTJ?
Also, what are some entj faces I could look at?
Also, if enneagram types describe your cognitive distortions, isn't it entirely possible to have more than one ennegram type?
You're probably an LIE, not sure of Ni or Te subtype.
As for enneagram, yes you can have multiple types. It's called a trifix. You can basically have one type from each grouping (head, heart, body), but this isn't very widely practiced. With people like you who relate equally to 8 and 3, you could easily have these two types in your trifix.
Head types = 5, 6, 7
Body types = 8, 9, 1
Heart types = 2, 3, 4
So for you since you think your main type is 7w8, your trifix could go like this-
7w8-3w2-8w7
In the order that you relate to them, the 7 being your base type.
Remember, you can only have one from each grouping though. That's because everyone has a heart, body, and head. But some people come from different places with their main motivations.
Take me for example... I'm a 9w8-6w5-3w2. I relate least to the heart types overall, but I still have some 3w2 tendencies. I relate to the head types pretty well, but I'm definitely a body type, because I'm 9w8.
I'll post ENTJ faces in the next post... since this is already getting pretty cluttered.
You always seemed like an ILI-Te to me Night. You seem pretty Gamma.

Does socionics add anything to the picture lacking from the other two systems?
I've been told that there's about 17 different systems necessary to apply to a person to adequately define their personality and I'm wondering why should socionics be one of them.
Yes, socionics does add something good to the picture. It further defines type based on about 15 other dichotomies, and it describes function placement quite well. The function placement definitions are very, very accurate. I can safely say that socionics is a better system on the surface, but it's a lot more complex. I'm basically still in MBTI/typology mode because I'm bored on these forums.
Let me guess, you saw
₪₪₪ Socionics - The New Psychology ₪₪₪, saw that ISTJs were described as having mustaches (okay it doesn't really say that) and you immediately dismissed the entire theory? That's what a lot of people do. Socionics.com is a pretty bad site compared to others.
