As part of my ongoing curiosity about the INFJ type, I am trying to idenfity most common traits that fit with enneagram type descriptions...

Based on the belowgiven summary descriptions (or the linked detailed descriptions if you like) please choose 3 traits for each type that you deem to them to be strongest in and 3 more for weakest... Traits not listed in the table may also be used if need be...

Please choose not based on how you think your type "is" but based on type descriptions...


I know this is quire chore to ask so any contributions are quite welcome...

TRAITS LIST


Enneagram Type 1 - The Reformer



Enneagram Type 2 - The Helper



Enneagram Type 3 - The Achiever



Enneagram Type 4 - The Individualist



Enneagram Type 5 - The Investigator



Enneagram Type 6 - The Loyalist



Enneagram Type 7 - The Enthusiast



Enneagram Type 8 - The Challenger

I picked one from each column, as I assumed that is what is supposed to be done.

Strong: Dutiful, Self-critical, Leader.

Weak: Adventurous, Enterprising, Loyal.

Not necessarily from each column, I divided them into three colums so the table wouldn't be too long in height...you can choose all 3 from the same column or arbitrarily...

Did you choose those traits for enneagram 1?

You don't necessarily have to choose each from a different column...

NOTICE: STRONGEST AND WEAKEST TRAITS CAN BE CHOSEN FROM ANY OF THE COLUMNS...!!!

THEY DON'T HAVE TO COME FROM A DISTINCT COLUMN EACH...

OPINIONS ABOUT ENNEAGRAM TYPES DIFFERENT THAN YOURS ARE WELCOME AS WELL...

Oh, it's just I got up on the wrong side of the bed...:) Seriously though, there's something about him that creeps me out... Don't know what but it has something to do with his empty looking eyes and smug smile...

Thanks for the contribution :)

No I picked them for myself. I guess I misunderstood. It would take a while to sort these by type and I am not sure I could do it anyway.

THANKS FOR THE INPUT...

PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE GOING BY THE BRIEF TYPE DESCRIPTIONS I PROVIDED IN MY OP RATHER THAN YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING OF YOUR TYPE WHEN DECIDING ON TRAITS...

IF YOU COULD PROVIDE INPUT FOR ALL TYPES AS WELL, THAT WOULD BE GREAT...

POSTERS CAN EDIT THEIR POSTS TO INCLUDE MORE INPUT IF THEY LIKE...
