Enneagram and SLOAN & Enneagram and Big Five

SLOAN is a variation of Big Five that has type descriptions for Big Five profile, on Similar Minds.
Using the Enneagram-Big Five table, I can assign SLOAN types to Enneagram types, and having an alternative description for each enneagram. Sadly, the SLOAN descriptions are just words.

I had decided to compile sub-variation of Enneagram types for the dichotomies where there was not a clear preference.
Table:

Enneagram and Big Five

I also found a website with two type descriptions on Big Five, crossing two Big Five traits.
I dont like totally these descriptions because they are too Conscientiousness prone, in ways that Conscientiousness is sometimes mistaken as Agreeableness.

Enneagram 1

High Conscientiousness crossed with High Emotional Stability or Low Openness

PERSISTENT TYPE (High C, High S)
Persistent Types are hard-working, stable individuals who perform well in structured, rule-governed environments. They are described by others as rule-abiding, composed, persevering, conscientious, trustworthy, cooperative, traditional, predictable, simple, and down- to-earth.

CONVENTIONAL TYPE (High C, Low O)
Conventional types are tradition-oriented persons who always "go by the book" rather than improvising, innovating, or thinking for themselves. They are quite responsible and can be relied on to follow directions and get the job done. They are described by others as agreeable, simple, and down-to-earth.

Enneagram 2

Main trait is high Agreeableness, crossed with High Extroversion.

PERSONABLE TYPE (High E, High A)
Personable Types enjoy interacting with other people. Personable individuals frequently experience and express positive emotions and are therefore typically well-liked by others. They derive satisfaction from helping, and are well-suited for careers in the helping professions (counseling, teaching, nursing, human services). They are described by others as cheerful, confident, sociable, vigorous, enthusiastic, and friendly.

Enneagram 3

Enneagram 3 is high on achievement-striving, which is a Conscientiousness facet, so its main trait is a sub-trait of Conscientiousness. Conscientiousness can be crossed with Extraversion or low Agreeableness.

ENTERPRISING TYPE (High E, High C)
Enterprising Types strive for success as defined by conventional social standards. They are ambitious, competitive, achievement-oriented, purposeful, leaderlike, and willing to move into positions of authority. Their probability of success in leadership roles will increase with higher scores on Agreeableness, Emotional Stability, and Openness.

MORALISTIC TYPE (Low A, High C)
Moralistic Types are rule-oriented achievers who sometimes ignore the feelings of others in order to get the job done. Principles are more important than people to moralistic types, and they can be equally hard on themselves. This achievement-oriented, hard-driven type has great initiative and moves readily into positions of authority. They believe in working with and through the system and in advancing upward through hard work. They are unlikely to take risks, and their leadership style is likely to be seen as no-nonsense and instrumental. They are described by others as well-read, tense, and reserved.
[this description is wrong because Morality is a facet of Agreeableness]

Enneagram 4

Type 4 primary trait is related to Openness to Experience, as Emotions and Artistic Interests are Openness to Experience facet. This trait can be crossed with low Extraversion (but overlaps with type 5 and that description is closer to type 5) or low Conscientiousness.

FANCIFUL/IMAGINATIVE TYPE (Low C, High O)
Fanciful/Imaginative Types are unconventional nonconformists who pride themselves on being different from others. They are not so much openly antisocial and disruptive in their behavior as they are fanciful, impractical, and unconcerned about the general welfare of others. They are described by others as complex, imaginative, and critical.

Enneagram 5

Type 5 is related to intellect, which is a Openness facet. Problem is, Openness is in blank, but its still an important trait. That can be crossed with Low Extraversion or Low Agreeableness (also, Low Extraversion and Low Agreeableness is an alternative).

BOOKWORMISH TYPE (Low E, High O)
Bookwormish Types are highly intellectual, introspective, self- examining loners. Although they keep to themselves, their level of intelligence and learning garners them respect for others. They are described by other persons as learned, well-read, persevering, rule- abiding, calm, and industrious.

DISTANT TYPE (Low E, Low A)
Distant Types show an active disinterest in other people. They are detached, skeptical, cynical loners who find little joy in human relations. They are described by others as solitary, depressed, worried, introverted, and shy.

INDIVIDUALISTIC TYPE (Low A, High O)
Individualistic types consider themselves to be unique and more intelligent than most people around them. In extreme cases they might be regarded as eccentric, but in most cases they are perceived by others as complex, well-read, imaginative, and industrious.

Enneagram 6 (phobic)

Type 6 are known for being anxious and phobia, which is a neuroticism trait. But also means closed to experience, which makes Low Stability and Low Openness the best description. But also low emotional stability and low extraversion serves as a good fit.

MUDDLED TYPE (Low S, Low O)
Muddled types tend to be anxious about things that lie beyond their limited scope of understanding. They protect themselves by living in the past and showing contempt for novel or foreign ideas They are described by others as irritable, anxious, nervous, reminiscent, apathetic, unambitious, self-centered, unreliable, and negligent.

DISCOURAGED TYPE (Low E, Low S)
Discouraged Types are not happy with their present life situation but feel there is no way out because they lack the ability to improve their life circumstances. They are perceived by others as unambitious, unenergetic, shy, solitary, passive, introverted, cowardly, pessimistic, insecure, and fearful.

Enneagram 7

Main traits of type 7 are, doubtless, High Openness to Experience and High Extraversion, but, also, Low Conscientiousness, which generates 3 combinations. But Low C and High O already belongs to type 4.

DEBONAIR TYPE (High E, High O)
Debonair Types are intelligent extraverts. In their worldliness they can be quite witty and charming. They have a flair for the dramatic, and can be histrionic and theatrical. People are naturally attracted to debonair types, but if a debonair type dislikes somebody, he or she can swiftly cut that person to the quick. Therefore, this type is generally described with positive terms such as enterprising, eloquent, forward-looking, confident, and sexy, but can also be described as critical, candid, and intense.

IMPULSIVE TYPE (High E, Low C)
Impulsive Types are exhibitionists who act outrageously in order to attract attention from others. Often rather unconventional, risk- taking, flamboyant, they also need and enjoy social stimulation. They are described by others as talkative, outgoing, changeable, blunt, and outspoken.

Enneagram 8

Enneagram 8 is known for the aggressive and competitiveness.
The aggressiveness can be more or less be seem as low Agreeableness.
That can be crossed with Extraversion.

DOMINEERING TYPE (High E, Low A)
Domineering Types enjoy exerting power and influence over others and strive to control them without taking their feelings into account. They are seen by others as critical, self-centered, stubborn, and bossy.

Enneagram 9

Enneagram 9 main trait is, no doubt, Emotional Stability.
The others are secondary, which origins a good variety of type 9. High Stability can be crossed with High Agreeableness, Low Extroversion and Low Conscientiousness (Low Openness isnt really that much of an important trait, specially because Enneagram mostly ignores N/S and ignores Openness except for type 4 and type 7).

PLEASANT TYPE (High A, High S)
Pleasant Types are full of positive emotions and free from negative emotions. They are almost universally liked. They are described by others as confident, cheerful, relaxed, tolerant, composed, calm, goodnatured, poised, persevering, vigorous, enterprising, extraverted, warm, trustworthy, empathic, conscientious, cooperative, simple, traditional, predictable, and down-to-earth.

SATISFIED TYPE (Low E, High S)
Satisfied Types who feel they have risen above the problems of living and are content with things as they are. They see little point in getting involved in a rat-race to struggle to the top of the heap. They see stability and security as more important than getting ahead and are likely to be content with a respectable job in their home town, earning just enough money to make a living. They are described by others with terms such as sedate, tranquil, placid, ethical, responsible, unexcitable, and unassuming.

CAREFREE TYPE (Low C, High S) [overlaps with type 7]
Carefree Types are folksy, simple, happy-go-lucky persons. They are unconcerned about rules, schedules, and routines, but are not actively antisocial or hostile to authority. They are described by others with terms such as informal, self-assured, extraverted, and unlettered.

Why emotional stability for 9 and not agreeableness?

I'm not sure I agree that the systems are compatible enough for this to be deeply useful ;) (I'm a bit biased since I'm an outlier 9 according to this, having low emotional stability.) It's interesting, though.

How does counterphobic 6 fit it?

Good question, I dont know much.
In many statistics and tests, type 6 is tested as phobic.
My guess at readings - its a good one - is that counterphobic 6 fits as a Low Conscientiousness types and that if you put a survey grouping 6 phobic vs 6 counter-phobic, counter phobic 6 would have a tendency towards perceiving and phobic 6 towards judging. Counter 6 phobic are supposed by concept to be less cautious/deliberation, which is a conscientiousness trait. They also have a tendency to be a little bit more towards higher Openness, because of the adventure facet. However, they should still keep type 6 anxiety aspect, and the anxiety aspect gravitates towards Neuroticism. So, I think low S and low C is a good fit for Counter-phobic 6, but there is one problem: "Counterphobic Sixes are often defiant or rebellious towards authority and habitually find counterexamples to whatever others assert. Despite this attitude, counterphobics are often loyal, hard-driven workers and highly idealistic." (link) This is related to that thing where "whatever you say about 6, the opposite is often true", which pretty much makes 6s on the middle of most dichotomies, or so mixed to the point where there is no Low or High, just everything is middle (so with that the phrase makes sense). Ignoring the whatever you say the opposite is true, type 6 counter phobic fits best as Low C and Low S, but considering the whatever you say the opposite is true, there is no proper type on to associate with type 6.

SCATTERED TYPE (Low C, Low S)
Scattered Types show emotional instability that affects both their thinking and their social relationships. Internally they are inconsistent, erratic and forgetful; in groups they can be impulsive, nosy, gossipy, and self-indulgent. On the job, their unpredictability may annoy co-workers and supervisors. Others describe them as unorthodox, changeable, complex, imaginative, rule-avoiding, moody, quitting, negligent, unreliable, stubborn, self-centered, and unreflective.

Remember that for the regular enneagram, anxiety is considered a type 6 trait, as if it is a personality trait and not a personality disorder. Which I think its odd and unproper, but I do consider as a critical trait.

Why emotional stability for 9 and not agreeableness?

I'm not sure I agree that the systems are compatible enough for this to be deeply useful ;) (I'm a bit biased since I'm an outlier 9 according to this, having low emotional stability.) It's interesting, though.

Well, although I had stated firmly, that is by my own self-perception. I think lots of agreeableness traits are related to type 2, like Generous, Demonstrative, People-Pleasing, although the word agreeableness is mentioned on type 9 briefly and that the peaceful aspect of type 9 is more important.
But type 9 is relatively similar in terms of Agreeableness of type 2, to the point where type 2 and type 9 connects with each other, although not strong enough to make the regular enneagram inconsistent.

And I love doing these kinds of readings because they wide our perception of what is the enneagram type.
These analysis reveals details about what the average type 9 is that we dont know.
And these descriptions can also create sub-types of enneagram types where there is no clear preference for the average type 9, and these are interesting.
I dont think we are fully one type at all, and that there is somewhat of a list of type 9 traits and stuff, and you seem to not be normal on one of the main one of them.
The text-book 9 is indeed emotionally stable.
We, dont.

Good question, I dont know much. In many statistics and tests, type 6 is tested as phobic. My guess at readings - its a good one - is that counterphobic 6 fits as a Low Conscientiousness types and that if you put a survey grouping 6 phobic vs 6 counter-phobic, counter phobic 6 would have a tendency towards perceiving and phobic 6 towards judging. Counter 6 phobic are supposed by concept to be less cautious/deliberation, which is a conscientiousness trait. They also have a tendency to be a little bit more towards higher Openness, because of the adventure facet. However, they should still keep type 6 anxiety aspect, and the anxiety aspect gravitates towards Neuroticism. So, I think low S and low C is a good fit for Counter-phobic 6, but there is one problem: "Counterphobic Sixes are often defiant or rebellious towards authority and habitually find counterexamples to whatever others assert. Despite this attitude, counterphobics are often loyal, hard-driven workers and highly idealistic." (link) This is related to that thing where "whatever you say about 6, the opposite is often true", which pretty much makes 6s on the middle of most dichotomies, or so mixed to the point where there is no Low or High, just everything is middle (so with that the phrase makes sense). Ignoring the whatever you say the opposite is true, type 6 counter phobic fits best as Low C and Low S, but considering the whatever you say the opposite is true, there is no proper type on to associate with type 6.

You were on the past when you pick up that type?
I mean, you should pick up type 6 some good years ago..
I dont mean to be offensive here...

I believe that MBTI and Jung type type can be very stable through time. But Jung says it changes.
For Big Five, it is recognizably generally stable, but there are slow changes with time.
In enneagram, it depends on the type. I dont think type 6 is a stable one. Type 6 has the 'anxious' characteristic attached to it, plus the phobia and the 'counter-phobia'. I dont see any of these as permanent. I am quite of critical into some of the enneagram stuff, and I dont think it was a smart move to attribute anxiety as a trait of a type, and neither the phobia or the counter phobia.
I know that a lot of people can distort speech to fix that, but I am not a believer that there is a stable personal anxiety, phobia or counter phobia.

EDIT: But type 6 always have the 'whatever you say, the opposite is true', which as mentioned in some other threads, it serves as a scapegoat for discussion to feat nearly everyone, although, rigorously, it should be a property related to people who mark "neither agree nor disagree" a lot.

Hmmmm. I woukd learn more about 6. We can be very stable and I woukd guess I have always been lvery low on neuroticism.

So, according to the IPIP-NEO description of the moralistic achiever, I should be an enneagram 3. I think that the Moralistic Achiever profile could also apply to a 1 with a strong 3-fix in tritype if that 1 is particularly driven. I have considered being a 3w4 sp/so. But my SLOAN type is correlated with INTJ 5, according to your research.

I'm RLUEI (but sorta midline between "U" and "O"). I've typically seen this associated with INTP, so it's interesting to see it paired with ennea-type 4 here. I'm not terribly fond of the description because I think it's rather imbalanced and critical. I also don't relate to all of the descriptors.

I am E1 with little emotional stability. XD

In general, I do like a lot of the description here, but I don't think it grabs enough variations. This is where additives of the So/Sp/Sx forms could assist in manifestations. And I do not know if this takes the tritype theory into account, as per say, I am an E1 with more openness because I also have E7. etc.

I'm a 9w8, although I tend to score pretty high on openness and mid to high on conscientiousness.

I have a very adventurous 7-like side that thrills at both physical and intellectual stimulation when I am healthy.

Metaphor: excited child or puppy sees something (this could represent an idea or experience in this metaphor, not necessarily a physical object) in the distance and runs ahead so fast that they ignore any potential dangers to get to object and investigate as soon as possible.

I don't know if this might be due to a strong preference for Pe in my Jungian stack.

So, hey ya all (@Jazzy Orchid, [MENTION=31348]Peter Deadpan[/MENTION], [MENTION=41022]Tigerfalcon8[/MENTION], [MENTION=19700]Tactical Turtleneck[/MENTION]) or hey guys!

I think I made the first post before I made my converter quizzes so I had dig deeper into this, and by that I have notes to calm your hearts... or your thoughts.

First of all, one of the post purpose was to give the enneagram types descriptions a different lens - the lens from the Big 5. However, with different lens comes different views, and sometimes what you can clearly see with one glass, you cannot see well with another. The first thing to note is that it is not much realistic to expect the Big 5 lens to cover the whole enneagram - especially without the facets. One of the things that you can note on my first post is that the Big Five cannot tell the difference between Enneagram 3 and Enneagram 8 - MBTI cant either.

Second thing, these descriptions initially are for the textbook types, or, for the "pure types". These are for the textbook enneagram type 1, textbook 2, textbook 3, etc.. or, to "pure 1", "pure 2", etc... A person very close to a pure type aligns her/himself with his type in basically all possible aspects related to that type. However, a closer look tells us that what actually happens is that these descriptions are for the average Joe of these types - so, for example, the average Joe of type 1 has low Neuroticism, but that doesnt mean that all 1s have low Neuroticism. It is for the average Joe because that is where the stats did come from.

Getting a little bit off-topic but not really off-topic, about cognitive functions, Jung in his book presented first the reader with a description of the 8 cognitive functions and assigned a type/trait description for each - a description of the personality related to cognitive function Ne, same for Se and etc... So, in his book, the reader that came from zero - I mean a reader that wasnt firstly introduced by the internet or any indirect source to Jung theory - was presented with 8 cognitive functions and 8 types, the 8 original types from Jung typology. Right after Jung explains the 8 cognitive functions and describes what we call Ne-"dom", he says this:
Jung said:
In the foregoing descriptions I have no desire to give my readers the impression that such pure types occur at all frequently in actual practice"
Basically, for the point of view of a person who did come from zero, Jung introduced to his reader 8 types - one for each cognitive function, and then he said that his descriptions doesnt happen frequently in actual practice. Then, he introduces the concept of pairing, which can be properly interpreted as a way to mix two types - the primary type related to the dominant function and the secondary type related to the secondary function. Actually, this is the most intuitive understanding for someone coming from zero (and wasnt introduced by any website earlier). What I think, and getting back to my point, is that the phrase "such pure types [do not] occur at all frequently in actual practice" is very valid to enneagram, and even big 5 or MBTI. So, the descriptions that I gave are meant for the pure type, while you guys are sort of a mix of types instead (for enneagram, that isnt controversial since there are tri-types).

Getting back specifically to enneagram, Big 5 actually show ups some interesting trends that does exist on enneagram stats as well. For example, the figure of "the moralistic achiever" shows up an interesting link between Enneagram 1 and Enneagram 3. I think I had lost my source, sadly, but I know that the most common enneagram results for people who consider themselves type 3, are type 3, type 8 and type 1 (in other words, when you are a 3, scoring 8 and 1 is common - common, not always, dont forget that difference!). Although these kinds of things really makes a big bunch of the theory to be questionable, specially the wings.

And not all the correlations that I had pointed out - specially because I had mix MBTI on the post - are particularly strong. For example, the correlation of Feeling and Agreeableness is quite weak, and that means that it is not rare to have feelers with low Agreeableness and thinkers with high agreeableness, but in average thinkers are slightly less agreeable than feelers. So the average Thinker is less agreeable then the average Feeler, but not all thinkers have low agreeableness and nor all feelers have high agreeableness. Same applies to J and Conscientiousness, although lesser, NP and Openness to Experience and even E/I from both systems (because E/I on MBTI, E/I on cog. functions and E/I from Big Five are slightly different from each other).

And just to end my explanation, what I had learned creating the "calculators" (Im referring to converter quizzes where you put Big 5 results and the quiz calculates your MBTI type based on Big 5; I had made one for Enneagram quadri-type to MBTI as well, where you insert your tri-type plus the enneagram you relate the most that is not on your tri-type) is that there is indeed some sort of coherence between Enneagram types and MBTI. So, for example, if somebody identifies himself/herself with as a feeler on an enneagram full of thinkers (like 1, 3 and 5), then at least the second enneagram type on their tri-type should be an enneagram related to feelers (like 2, 4 and 9), or the 3rd and the 4th. This happens to Big 5 as well (and I generally dont like to relate Neuroticism to any particular type, but sometimes I had a look on that view and in the case of SLOAN it was impossible to take Neuroticism out).

According to this, I should be an E5. I have considered E5 as my main type briefly. I think E5 might be in my tritype though. I am a 1.

Hmm, I usually score as follows:
High Openness (usually my highest)
High Extraversion
Low Neuroticism
Low Agreeableness
Low Conscientiousness

So according to this my closest match would be 7, which makes sense as it's a type I've considered often (although being an ENTP could have some impact on the Big 5 scores)

My Big Five results normally are:
Moderate to High Openness
Very High Conscientiousness
Moderate Extroversion
Low Agreeableness
High Neuroticism

This would probably translate to enneagram 3, but it isn't a clear translation.

Typical big 5 results:

Openness: High
Conscientiousness: Moderately low
Extroversion: Very low
Agreeableness: Moderate
Neuroticism: Moderately high

E4 for me. I type as a seeker tri so it works. I'm surprised E9s openness is so low on that chart, I guess it's cause they're so low energy but in my opinion they're one of the most naturally creative and intuitive types(intuitive general, not necessarily in MBTI terms). They are some of the most well rounded people I've ever met.
