A few points:

* ENFPs are said to be one of the most introverted E types, especially if they aren't Sevens. Finding out which function is your dominant might help. How do you use Ne?

* Which description of the 9w8 did you have your mother evaluate? It could be an important piece of evidence...

* In your video, you sounded antiauthoritarian and nonconformistic. You could be a 4w5 (your dislike of people you consider intelectually inferior, as you said in the video, seems to support that :yes:), but you could also be a counterphobic Six (vigilant towards authority figures, like Christopher Hitchens and George Orwell) or - less likely, IMO - a 9w8 (more antiauthoritarian and assertive than 9w1s, though also more diffuse - you mentioned "skipping" from one interest to another in the video).

Hope I helped! :) With luck, I shall discover more and give you more precise feedback. :hug:

Based on this, 7w8, assuming SI is the ENFP type. Similarities between type descriptions on the Enneagram are an infinite source of confusion. (I thought the ESFP acted more extraverted than the ENFP as a rule?) The only other possibility I see would be the 2w3, but that depends on primary motive. I don't necessarily follow the "enneatype 2 = Fe" rule for any types, its only a rule of thumb that does not account for the influence of wings which could be anywhere from strong to nearly non-existent.

Well I'm certain that I'm INFP as of now, but your saying I'm probably 7w8 or 2w3 dom in my tritype?

Nope, just responding to an older comment. If you're still looking for your enneatype, have you looked into 6w5?

I've actually put 1w9 on for a try :)

As for the other two, they both should go something like this: 4w3 and 6w5, or 4w5 and 6w7; 4 and 6 are definite, the wings, not so much.

If you're a type 1w9 with MBTI Perceiving, then your 9-wing is very much overpowering the usually J-dominant 1. A P type 1 is inconceivable systematically, but in reality anything is possible. I've read some of your other responses and you appear to come out more toward the 4 than 6 or 1. A type 4 integrates to higher level 1. Type 4 in the Riso Enneagram is called "The Individualist," type 1 is called "The Reformer." The 4w3 is called "The Aristocrat" and the 5-wing is called "The Bohemian."

The reason I may hesitate between 4 and 6 (without considering 1 as optional) is because of your INFP. This indicates you may be both Fi and Ni, just as I am both Ti and Ni with one or the other taking dominance depending on circumstances. But they influence one another greatly.

According to non-traditional MBTI, if you have two traits dominating then there is no single MBTI type answer. It's simplistic formula does not always match human beings in the particular. There is no reason to even believe there are exactly 16 types. But in the Enneagram this situation can more easily be accommodated for because of wing-theory.

The Fi, according to Riso, corresponds to type 6, the Ni corresponds to type 4. The type 1 extraverts intuition (Ne, desiring to reshape reality so that it conforms to one's idea of what should be in reality). A type 1 more likely thinks in terms of destiny, especially at the higher levels of integration. A type 1 is more likely to be some kind of visionary, the "vision" regarding what should be in reality versus what already is. At lower levels of integration the visionary does not act on the vision, having lost self-confidence, but acts out the envisioned life-purpose and plan in 'unhealthier' ways.

edit: "Trying on" a type, as you stated, has a distinctly 3-ish aura surrounding it. Anything you say can and will be used to help you determine type, even the fact that you are trying on a type.
