Like anyone actually has that information.

Apparently I'm very rare, but the poll says otherwise. It's kinda funny. :D

I don't think my enneagram is rare. I don't think any of them are rare for that matter. As far as I can tell there appears to be a pretty even distrubution.

I guess that's "quite rare" but I dunno about all that.

If you have a look on all the possible combinations that the enneagram is offering it's an almost impossible task to find someone that is exactly like you.
So, on one hand every type is rare but on the other hand rare is always a matter of comparison.

Check this:
The standard types are 9 in total. In addition you can choose between 2 wings for each type which already gives you 18 types.
Consider the instinctual variants and you got 108 (!).
Lastly, there is an additional option of adding a tritype. Within the 27 tritypes there is again a possibility of 6 different combinations which makes the enneagram much more extensive than MBTI. Much more.

INFJ male with extremely rare variant and enneagram. Feed my rareness. I am Forever patron saint of Rarity. I have a rare last name. Rare genetics. Rare personality. I am the absolute endpoint of rarity. And most importantly, rare beauty. :blush:

Ultimate special snowflake. I believe there are less males than females on this planet.... sometimes.

Mine is quite common because I don't actually know what it is and neither do most people in the world know what theirs is. I get different results every time though usually consistent results if I repeat the same test. I have been 145689 9w1 and tritype 458

I don't buy that 6w5 sx/so is very rare.

I think that maybe it is because 6s in general are very Sp, so to not have Sp at all and also have So secondary would seem a bit strange because So is more about assessing groups/relationships which is also very 6-ish when you think about it. I don't think Sx is rare in 6s, just that particular combination.

I hope that made sense. My brain seems sub par today.
