Help. What do you think? You can ask me questions if you need to.
None of those resonate with me. I care about making sense of things and doing things correctly, which means understanding myself and my experience, which always makes me feel urgent compassion--like I need to go do something for the world. I like write and inspire people and set them straight, even if I don't always know where I'm going myself.
Clicks better than the other options. What's a type 9?
He's not a 5w4.
Maybe 1w9?
Take the damned test!
Well, I play therapist to all my friends and my job right now is in mediation. I'll tell you what I do and you can decide on my Enneagram and that'll settle it.
I call a party, they bitch to me, I say things like "yeah, I understand" partly because it's a spontaneous emotional reaction, but also partly because I'm buttering them up so they can be flexible later. I make a relationship with them. I ask them to make an offer. Then I call the other side and do the same thing and relay the offer. Usually no one agrees, but I'll dig down to motivations, make some validations, trim the dispute down as much as possible, propose a few solutions, and then sell the shit out of it. I'm a good salesperson, even though I have a major problem being dishonest with people, even slightly, and I consider convincing people to buy a product to be a form of brainwashing. Sorry, I was hoping that would be more revealing but I guess it's hard to explain what I do. It's strategic. I'm always assessing people's positions and openness and choose my words accordingly, in order to prevent them from digging deeper into their positions. I'm good at reframing what people say.
So, gimme your best shot. (I can still answer questions if they're really important.)
Typology tests are viciously unreliable and provide inaccurate results just as often as accurate ones. I guess taking a test could help to provide some kind of very rough/quite possibly completely inaccurate guess, but that's about all.
Type 1 NTP seems awfully improbable. The nature of type 1 is incredibly J-oriented.
Sounds like you are a very Fe-heavy variant of NTP. ENTP is most often 7, sometimes 6 or 8, and occasionally 3. INTP is usually 5, sometimes 6, and occasionally 1, 8 or 9.
I could maybe see INTP type 9 with exceptionally well-developed Fe. INTP 9s are fairly unusual and often mistaken for INFPs because they focus so much on helping people, which is fairly uncharacteristic of INTPs in general.
Tests aren't definitive, but they help to narrow down your options.Typology tests are viciously unreliable and provide inaccurate results just as often as accurate ones.

I'm not convinced he's NTP. He's definitely not J though.
Peacebaby said he was a 9 somewhere, but he's more aggressive than most 9s. He likes arguing - up to a point. Mostly he likes helping people, more than anything else. Could be a 2?
And he's a huge attention whore, so 3 is possible. And he's really emo, so 4.
Basically he could be any of them.
Just take the test already.
^^ He could figure out his tri-type (example: 9w8; 2w3; 5w4), if he's still undecided. That would tell us when and where the other Enneagram influences, like 3, 4, 2, etc., show up.
