Okay I was confused for a while about everything in enneagram and the MBTI world, but I think I made some type progress, anyway I believe I'm a INFJ, a lot of it matches me as for my enneagram type I thought I could be a 4-6-9, or 4-5-9, so let me explain a part of me and maybe you could get something from that.

I never felt so complex as a child, but I always felt different. While everyone was experimenting with drugs and what not in high school, I was playing games with my little sister. I always felt more mature then them, but very kidish at the same time. I never got wrap into the high school scene and finish as early as possible because to me it didn't live up to my ideal high school experience it was fake and annoying. Pretty much in the smack middle of the suburbs and the ghetto so you had the preppy click or the ghetto click. There were a few of what people called the outcast and those were the people I liked the best, they spoke normal and like the same things as me, they were the minority of the school.

I've been called snobby or high class by people because I am unhappy were I live, I don't like "the streets" and I would love to live a nice suburban neighborhood and have a nice life, not having to work hard, but to me I never felt like I belonged there in that school and neighborhood and was very annoyed that I was cursed to be there. I feel like I was dropped into the wrong life. Same with my family they are all different from me, they speak differently their goals in life are different, they seem fine where they are in life and if I had they're life and where it seems to be going I would not be happy. I would be disappointed in myself. I have high standards I guess you can say, but I only tried putting them on myself and maybe my family when I was a child, as I got older I stopped and realized some people are just a that way.

I am ranting, but I don't want lose you all so here are words to describe me.

Dramatic
Nostalgic
Perfectionist
Odd
Goofy (When I am alone usually)
Playful (When I am alone usually)
Childish
Mature
Contradictory
Really Emotional
Logical
Understanding
Idealistic
Aware
Materialistic (Meaning I like nice things, but I think its because I don't ever get nice things)
Passive

What I am really confused about is what does all this sound like? I feel their so many sides of me. What I am sure of is I can get deep into my emotions and I get feelings from everything. I am scared of fighting of any kind and I wish my dreams were real, because there always way better then my reality.

Types I've considered were 4w5 5w4 6w5 9w1 1w9 and maybe 4w3.

I typed as a 4w5, 5w4, or 5w6, but I have no clue for the rest of my tritype.

I think I may be a Sp/So because I never got anything different and it makes sense for me.

So help please. :)

Have you tried these?

http://www.enneagram.net/tests/index.html

Edit: The long version of the similarminds test was also pretty good. It came out wrong for me (said 8 instead of 6), but the top 3 are the numbers of my tri-type. Results were:
8 - 56
6 - 52
3 - 47

I'm 638 (though 683 is conceivably possible)

So, if you take those two, you might get an idea.


Also, a lot of these tests are crap. The ones above are the two best I could find.

my best guess is

4w3 Sp/Sx
4-7-1

which would make you almost the same type as Brian Griffin from Family Guy =P

I've taken these test before and I always get 4w5 or 5w4, this is the first time I've ever got 1-4-6 so this very interesting. So thank you for the help I appreciate it. Any more opinions are welcomed.

461? 451?

I've looked up these types and couldn't find much about them, but from what I did find I agree with both. I think maybe the one made me act like a 9? I don't know maybe you know of some links for description on these types.


my best guess is

4w3 Sp/Sx
4-7-1

Hehe that is funny I can see some similarities, I don't know how being a 4w3 would because I am that way or learned to be that way. Thank you for your opinion I appreciate it.


These are my scores...I don't know how much of these would be on my tritype because it's all kind of close.

Type 1 Perfectionism 65%
Type 2 Helpfulness 41%
Type 3 Image Focus 48%
Type 4 Hypersensitivity 61%
Type 5 Detachment 57%
Type 6 Anxiety 61%
Type 7 Adventurousness 34%
Type 8 Aggressiveness 25%
Type 9 Calmness 54%

Sp/So/Sx

1 46 I must be perfect and good to be happy.
4 43 I must be unique/different to be happy.
6 43 I must be secure and safe to be happy.
5 40 I must be knowledgable and independent to be happy.
9 38 I must maintian a peaceful and easygoing environment to be happy.
3 34 I must be impressive and attractive to be happy.
2 29 I must be helpful and caring to be happy.

Okay thank you, I'm going to add more things about aspects of me just in case this that OP just sounded like that type.

I moved to a four year university far from my home because I felt like I needed too, I wanted a stereotypical "college" experience because my life has not been normal and I was sick of it. I was sick of the people and place. I needed to find me because I felt lost, I guess that is perfectionist in me. I didn't have a stereotypical "college" experience because I realize that was dumb of me and I didn't really want that in the long run. I did find out a lot about me, so I enjoy that very much so. I typically try to change my life to make it suit my ideals in what I want. I try to have revelations where I get all the answers and sometimes it works and I figure things out. Other times I screw myself into dumbness and bad things happen, and things get worst.

I've always had these brief moments where I strive to get what I want, but I am way to lazy of a person honestly and I really don't want to do anything. I want to relax alone, listen to music take pictures of the world and maybe hangout with close friends. I know I am lucky to have school as an option, but I hate it and wish I had a trust fund that lasts me my whole life. I am not a go getter by any means, I don't really enjoy doing stuff in the world like working. I want to enjoy life, but in my way.

I do not do conflict well and would rather just go with what you say, as long as it doesn't harm my being in any way. That being said I am not afraid to have a conflict with family, if they annoy me, then I am not afraid to conflict with them. Other people it has to build up then and only then can I just explode and I never want to talk about again unless it hurt my feelings that bad.

I find myself always talking about how I am, which makes me sounds like people don't know me well enough, I think I just do that for they can get the gist of me without getting too deep about personal stuff. Feelings do over take me randomly, I deal with them alone and try to evaluate them, the reason behind it and sometimes try to figure out the why I feel that way. When alone I act like a kid jumping around and doing random things, with someone I am comfortable with I recently realize I am not as down as I convince myself to be, I tend to talk and do random things, but I don't think I'm as kiddy. I delve into philosophical topics or try to get to know them better than I already do.

I take things as signs and when things get too much I just throw it into the air and figure I'll find a solution for it. Also I start believing things that do not logically make sense to me, so it can be religion (for me it doesn't logically make sense not trying offend.) or pop psychology like "the secret" and even karma all the while thinking up solutions.

Oh I and I like to be independent, on my own and not having to ask for things that is a pretty big part of me.

Sorry there is a lot here, but I'm trying find my type and have to make sure there is evidence lol.

Thank you all for your help. :)

4w5 > 9w8 sp/sx is completely defenite. Head triad is still a little iffy though, but you seem to be 5 as opposed to 6; "Oh I and I like to be independent, on my own and not having to ask for things that is a pretty big part of me." this indicates a 5 fix, possibly 5w6.

So overall 4w5 > 9w8 > 5w6 sp/sx should be mostly likely. Although more information concerning your possible head triad would be helpful to the endeavor of discovering your tri-type :yes:

Oh thank you! never thought of 9w8 :)

What kind of things would help you understand my head triad?

I don't want to rambling on again. :D
