[misfortuneteller]

most common:
6w7

least common:
5w4

 

[SigmaEnigma]

Atleast around where I live -
Most common: 3, 6, 7
Least common: 1, 4, 5

2s are also somewhat rare considering female 6s can easily be mistyped as 2s.

Ikr?! I thought my mum was a 2 for ages but I think she's a 6w7. I've noticed that the SFP 6s seems more nervous then the SFJ ones.

2s seek love in a more openly expressed, but also independent sort of way and are often more dominant personalities. 2ish 6s seek love mainly through loyalty towards family or whatever it may be, and look more to others for leadership. As for SF 6s, I would guess it depends on the kind of 6 more so than type.

 

[highlander]

so what do u think whats most common etype?

id say 6, definately. After that 1,3,9 are in top 4:/

the rarest -> 5 & 2. women often mistype as 2s, i think. or it appears rare to me bc
they arent really prone to working on themselves so not much of 2s online.:/ i am not sure i ever met a 2!

5s because of a few INs in general.


I apologize to all 4s for leaving them out of the least common types list.. but the thing is that 4 is quite common, even among SJs not that rare as people think

So, what do you think?

This should answer the question. 2s and 6s are the most common and 8s are the least common.

Wouldn't that be bias towards people on the two sites though? In that case, it would be more a measure of people interested in typology than the general population.

 

[SigmaEnigma]

Also what is the CPP Baseline?

It's a good question. I don't think so. I normalized the numbers to what they would be if we had a standard distribution of the 16 MBTI types on the sites. It's explained further here. If you look at the raw numbers in that link I provided before the normalization, there are an enormous number of 4s and 5s on the site compared to other types.However, I'm not a statistician so there may be some flaw in my logic. As of yet, nobody has pointed out a flaw in the way I've analyzed this.

The one thing I found especially telling in the two sets of numbers was the difference for 6s and 8s. Either there are a lot more 8s on TypologyCentral than the other site or there is a bias on one of the sites as to how people mistype between those two.

First off for the 6/8 situation, obviously there’s no way to truly know for sure on that unless you were to do something truly ridiculous like survey/screen the majority of 6s and 8s on the sites to find either a common mistype (Meaning the sites define the 2 types differently from each other therefore passing influence onto people typing themselves), or bias regarding how the types are viewed on each site (For instance say one of the sites gives more respect to 8s than 6s or the other way around, two things would happen in this situation: 1. People would favor being referred to as an 8 rather than a 6 or vice versa and would wear a false type on their profile, or straight up convince themselves they’re the other type. 2. The type that is favored on each site is more likely to make an account on the site they feel more comfortable on.
Personally, having been a lurker on both sites for many years, I think it’s likely a mix, perhaps leaning a bit towards the first possibility of each site defining the types differently (which come to think of it would in some cases lead to the issues presented in the second possibility I.E. differences in general opinion and personal bias brought about by a difference in definition).

As for the statistic as a whole, the only possible issue I could find besides mistypes (which is obviously unavoidable), is that even after being normalized, the statistic is still obviously based off of for example way more INxx than ESxx, obviously meaning that the accuracy of the enneagram correlation to the ESxx is still much lower than that of the INxx because it is making assumptions based on less people. It could also be argued that certain combinations (that may be common in the real world), or even certain enneagram types in general are simply less likely to be interested in the mbti or enneagram and therefore do not take part in the online community.

Excuse me if I misspoke at any point, it is very late here.

Yes, that's exactly it. I think its number 1.

I think 8s are pretty rare, 2s, and 1s.

The most common seems to be 6s or 9s. I hate 6s tho, I'm most likely to stay away from them.

Why do you hate 6s?

 

[biohazard]

I've had some pretty bad experiences with them. They were always unhealthy ones though. I have yet to meet a 6 that was healthy. I'm looking forward to meeting one. I would like my opinion to change about them.

 

[bundleofsunshine]

9's aren't common. People are just stereotyping lazy or chill 6w5s as 9s. 6s and 3w4s are the most common and the other types are far behind.

 

[bundleofsunshine]

Ignore my last ill-informed post.

common
6w7 (the ESxJ majority)
6w5 (the ISxJ majority and ISTPs)
9w1 (the second most common kind of ISFJ and ISFPs)
3w2 (the second most common kind of ESTJ)
7w6 (the ESFPs)
7w8 (the ESTPs)

moderate
1w2 (the third most common kind of ISFJ)
2w3 (the second most common kind of ESFJ)
3w4 (the third most common kind of ESTJ)
5w6
9w8
1w9

rare
2w1
8w7
8w9
4w5
4w3
5w4

Same my mum knows a bit about mbti and is ENFP, and for ages I thought she was a 2 until she took a test and got 6w7.

4 and 5 and all sx dom are the rarest. If you think you're these, you quite likely may be wrong/working with poor descriptions of what they actually are, since there is so much misinformation out there about them. (For instance, sx is not one-to-one, it's the sexual instinct. If that offends you, you probably aren't sx dom.)

6 and 9 by far the most common. 6 has a lot of bad descriptions out there too, which make them sound far less complex and interesting than they actually are.

 

[Kanra Jest]

I think enneagram 4 thinkers are very rare, especially enneagram 2, and enneagram 8 feelers would also be pretty unlikely (but unlikely doesn't mean impossible), 5 probably close to more rare as well. Those are the unorthodox combinations that are uncommon enough to be not everywhere and cause people to complain and bicker over whether it's even possible (I think virtually any combination is possible, just some are far less frequent than others because it can seem contradictory) but some of us as human beings are quite ... contradictory, more rare, ect. Whereas some others just want to be, causing biases or mistyping's. All over forums it's always a super questionable thing and people arguing over whether combinations are even possible at all, or if there's some unspoken rule against it. Ultimately, people will believe what they will, but while some are hard to believe as likely, the human psyche is so damn vast I just can't see how there wouldn't be room for that inevitable potentiality. Personally I see any combinations like these are, in a way, both feelers and thinkers in a more balanced sense, if that makes sense.

Idk how rare enneagrams by themselves are but it's interesting to see what people think. Hmm.

I guess sx dom would be rare. sx/sp or sx/so? I guess? Seems to me most humans are very... well, not as intense nor go as deep as quickly as I do about things. So I can probably see that.

Most common? Nothing concrete but i can see these all as more common than not

1 - stj
2 - nfj
3 - entj entp?
4 - nfp?
5 - intp intj?
6 - istj isfj maybe nfj?
7 - esfp estp entp enfp
8 - entj?
9 - infp? isfp? infj?
