I just did the test again. It confirmed type seven but no wing. It could be either six or eight. The results were identical for both. The variant is "sexual." I feel closest to ENFP, ENFJ, and ESFP. Also, ISFJ and ISTP.

2 is usually associated with Fe. It also seems like it could be any xSF type, and maybe also the NFP's.

Interesting. I've never done much enneagram stuff, but it is intriguing, especially when it is used in conjunction with MBTI. I found this site, a blog by an INTP. Have you seen it? It looks really good.

I took her test (I've taken various online free tests in the past, usually scoring a 4 or a 2). With this test, I scored a 5w4, followed closely by a 4 and 2.......so, huh.

Got this from the INTP blog test:
PSTypes Enneagram Test Results
The Distribution of Your Scores
Type One: 13
Type Two: 22
Type Three: 24
Type Four: 36
Type Five: 24
Type Six: 14
Type Seven: 54
Type Eight: 18
Type Nine: 26
Your probable Enneagram Type
Your main type is 7.
Considering the wings you should be a 7w8. I'm definitely a 7 - just don't agree with the 8 wing. I identify with the 7w6 more but I also like what I've read about both wings being used at different times instead of relying on one exclusively.

I test as an ENTP quite a bit but likely identify with INTJs more.

I've seen those, or ones like it.
The one I like best is David Boje: Enneagram - read free online (p.16)

Those would make sense for your type.

Also, 7w8 is common for ENTP (San-Chlor), and 7w6 for ENFP. Some ENFP's are also 7w8.

buhh ENFp 3w4

but that's all probably going to change tomorrow so don't put too much stock in it

Closest to ENTJ, because
  • the P/J definitions are terrible
  • the 3ness

INFP, 9w1. Feel closest to INFJ. So much so that I thought that I was one for the longest.:D My Ni seems to be unusually strong for an INFP, maybe that explains some of my confusion. A lot of INFJ 9s out there as well.

Dunno! Doubt it. There are some theoretical "contradictions" between the types' traits, but that's just because neither typing system is the whole story by itself.

1w4 I think. After ENFP I feel closest to ENFJ, though I often act really T or S about analytical things

INTP. Offhand, I'd type myself as an INFP, and as an 1w9. I've noticed myself doing 5w4 things, though. Taken the test, 5w6.
