Socionics, closely followed by enneagram.

Big 5 by far. It's not even a comparison.

Big 5 uses traits not types, so it's like being asked "do you identify with having a height and does your skin have a tone and is your hair a certain length?" - Uhh, yeah. I do.

Versus MBTI/Enneagram/JFC/every other discrete type-based personality model, "is your hair black or white?" - Actually, it's brown. "Which would you say is closer to brown? Black or white?" - Uhh, black I guess.

Socionics. Although it labels me as INFJ, delta quadra and I'm sure I'm ENFP but it still describes me the best, so the label doesn't matter so much in my eyes.

Enneagram. 5 with both 4 and 6 wings defines with a high degree of accuracy. 548 tritype is also fairly well accurate.

I think that ISTP describes me pretty well, so I'll go with MBTI.

I've had difficulty finding my enneagram type for years now and relate to most of them to some extent, but nothing seems to fit very well.

Enneagram before all else. I acknowledge the huge grain of salt required with it, but I think Astrology captures me pretty well too.

Karen Horney's Withdrawn type (The Need for Freedom), followed by the Enneagram.

MBTI is close to useless for me.

1w2 describes me really well. I see a lot of 3,5, and 7 energy from me as well. In Socionics, I’m pretty sure I am a LxE, leaning towards LIE.

Enneagram & Oldham are best, as they aren't as complicated and anal as the Jungian systems

Global 5 works well too.

MBTI is useful at describing the tools for how I perceive the world, but it isn't as encompassing as I think Enneagram is. Enneagram digs deeper into one's motivations and thus, worldview.

Enneagram.

I dislike MBTI as it does not account for experience or circumstance.

I guarantee you if you place me in a room with people of my own type I will want to shoot myself. whatever my type is- I hate them, and they are not like me.

Ok I will get along with them but I ain't promising anything positive will come out of it.

None...but Enneagram might be the least accurate, as I have absolutely no fit in the system.

IDK, they're all pretty fucking terrible and inaccurate with me.

Nothing's a perfect fit in MBTI. I'm just this weird INFP, ISFJ, ISFP hybrid. Socionics SEI fits me the best-I even have a round face and waddle like a duck. But yeah, I see SEI as sort of an ISFP and ISFJ hybrid, and I relate to their silliness, their quiet reflectiveness, and their taste for the finer things in life. Lower Ne still feels weird but I don't type ISFJ in MBTI so yeah, I guess it's fine. Enneagram definitely hits home, 9 and 4 are really relatable but SP 4 is probably the most relatable profile I've read. Withdrawn on it's own is really relatable, but 4s motivation really hits home as well as the SPs 4 need to be strong, their still waters run deep vibe and dauntless 4 is a good fit. The 4 temperaments, despite being a more simple system actually describe me really well. (Phleg-Mel). Phlegmatic's cynical humor, sluggishness and indecisiveness, and melancholics' idealism, broodiness, and yearning. Four temperaments was one of the first personality systems I learned about, which was 6 years ago. I remember how freakishly well it fit me, and it still does today.

Overall, I'd say socionics, followed by enneagram, fits me the best, even though alpha isn't a perfect fit(but I have heard that SEIs skew delta which fits). None of them are bad fits at all, save for my zodiac(I'm an Aries, I should be a Taurus or Pisces).
