[Traditional Enneagram] My enneagram type doesn't exist?

[ugamuga]

I have taken an enneagram test multiple times, on different websites, and every time I get back that I'm Enneagram type 7 and 4. How is this possible if it supposedly doesn't exist lol ? I have linked my test results so I can get some input. Thanks

Well going by the rules of Enneagram, your Primary type would be 7, and since the wing must be next to it numerically the most probable nominee would be 6. Then following 7w6 would be 4w3 second in your tritype going by the same logic. Then third 9w1.

Your full tritype would be 7w6 4w3 9w1, which stereotypically would be the ENFP, but there's no need to argue that.


Unless...

the test is actually showing your result as 7w4... in which case screw that test to Hell and go read about Enneagram yourself (which you should be doing regardless because that's what a good typology theorist does!) =)

Thanks for your response I had it totally wrong lol I think it's because I was new to enneagram. I found out I'm 5w4, which pretty much has almost nothing to do with what I previously thought I was haha. I think the tests can be inaccurate, it's tough to find a good one. First I got what I said here, then 9w8, 4w3, then 5w4. I think I finally got it! But yeah I've always wondered if I was actually an Enfp, but I'm really not that extroverted. I have a hard time talking with people at first and never know what to say. Plus when I took a cognitive functions test I got more Fi than Ne. It was close though
