I checked the ANSIR thread over at INTJf and of those claiming to be INTJs they had the following thinking styles:
Sage
Eccentrik
Philosopher
Evokateur
Realist
Dilligent
Extremist
Frankly, that doesn't surprise me.
In this forum, I noticed several people with the same ANSIR thinking style, but they were not the same MBTI type. Furthermore, the Enneagram was not created to correlate with MBTI types. Why people keep trying to correlate everything under the sun with MBTI, makes no sense. Just because someone scores X in one context doesn't mean it has to match up with something similar to X in another context. That smacks of people wanting what is tidy, rather than what is true.
What gets me is when someone can't find a one-to-one correlation and then gives up on it all out of frustration. I frankly find correlations to be more instructive, and anyway I don't see any single system to contain the Truth.
The human psyche, whether P or J or whatever, desires to find "tidy" intellectual unity in a single system. The existence of different varying systems frustrates this desire for neatly packaged answers, just as it may frustrate physicists to have two different explanations of the cosmos, one by general relativity and the other by quantum mechanics.
I would prefer to find a single Truth, but lacking any, I am satisfied to just have fun and go with what I've got to work with.
But if you have knowledge of various systems, don't you sense any identity at all between them? If so, why not seek out a single unified system of thought to explain the various identities?
