Sounds accurate, but I'd expect the 8w7 Sx/Sp combo to be much more common.

me too. 8w7 and Sx/Sp are pretty similar. also, I think 3w2 So/Sx is much more common than 3w4 Sp/Sx

I look at the numbers of example of each variant from the pasebin list, and assumed that it was representative of the frequency of them. You know, we could assume that an higher number of example of one variant can simply means that this variant is highly corelated with fame, but it does not work, because a strong part of people in the 6w5 Sp/So variant, which is the most current vcariant of all, are not famous at all. So, I guess it's representative.

me too. 8w7 and Sx/Sp are pretty similar.

Being So-last may be a bit at odd with 8w7, if you compare with the 8w9, where the rarest are the Sp-last. Also, 8w7 is a quite rare type.

also, I think 3w2 So/Sx is much more common than 3w4 Sp/Sx

Only a bit. 3w4 Sp/Sx are extremely commons.

I don't think they're as common as they are represented as on pastebin. keep in mind, most of those people are celebrities, so 3s, 7s and Sx doms are probably all going to be over represented significantly. IRL, I think 9s and 2s are also a lot more common

As I have ever said, that does not work since a strong part of them are actually not taht famous, especially for the 6w5 Sp/So, the most current. Also, the "celebrity" thing don't explain why there's so much 3w4 Sp/Sx in comparaison with other 3.

IRL, I think 9s and 2s are also a lot more common

9s are quite commons, but 2s are rare. I don't think they are under represented.

I think I might be a Social-last 1w2.

BTW, what's the difference between Very Rare and Extremely Rare?

:shock: So I really *am* speshul little snowflake :queenie: :laugh:

Honestly though, if this is accurate, it does hold some surprises. It begs the question: what exactly makes one enneagram type more common than another?

I always knew I was as common as a substance made up of an extensive variety of minerals and rocks....with a bit of water thrown in.

It seems that you are one. :)

I think the enneagram representing a map of the human condition and each enneatype representing how one experience the world, we can assume that there's some way to experience the worl that are more commons than others. The most commons types are 3 and 6. The rarest are 4 and 5. Also, some wombination with wings are rare because: 1 the number or the instictual variant is rare 2 the combination is at odd with the core enneatype.

For example, 4w3 are less rare than 4w5 because the 5 wing can seem at odd with the envious, hypersensitive nature of the 4, while the competitive 4w3 seem more coherent. But also, 3 are more commons than 5, so 4w3 are more commons than 4w5.

Also, Sx/So is the rarest stacking because it represents a degree of intensity that can kardly be reached. And at the same time, the Sp/So stacking realistic, buisnness like, clear, cynical, is at odd with the type 4. SO the rarest form of 4 are the Sx/So and Sp/So one, and 4w5 are even rarer, making 4w5 Sx/So and 4w5 Sp/So extremely rare.

It's the same for the 7, the rarest form of 7s are the Sx/So and the Sp/So. Especially 7w6 Sx/So and 7w8 Sp/So, because Sx/So is at odd with the security oriented 6 wing, and Sp/So is at odd with the assertive and free spirited 7w8.

Thoses are jsut examples, of course.

The ones I want, the 4w5 Sx/So. Legendary rare. 9th grade girlfriend. Will probably never meet another woman like that again. Fucking gymnast black belt, didn't give a fuck, breakdancer, rode a motorcycle and wrote books for a living. I was the only person to ever dump her for being a complete narcissist. Although I can't say I blame her. I'd call her back up in a heartbeat if she wasn't married with a kid. Most incredible woman I've ever met. She's the reason I've been single most of these years... no one seems to meet the bar.

I really don't think there's much legitimacy to this, although I can only speak for my own type but as a whole, sx first 5s seem to be the rarest. I can't judge between sx/sp and sx/so because I have yet to even meet another sx 5. 5s as a whole don't seem to come in abundance. Sp 5s are probably fairly common, so are so first 5s. I don't think there's much of a difference between sp/sx, sp/so, so/sp and so/sx so I assume there's not much of a difference between sx/sp and sx/so either.

I've known alot of Sx/Sp 6(w5)s. Seems like one of the more common combinations.

Very rare. Hmm, I suppose I can sort of see that modeled on the forum, there are hardly any 4w3's around here and from what I've seen none of the others are sx/sp.

However, it seems OP came up with these statistics based on another set of statistics, so I am highly skeptical of their reliability.
