[Traditional Enneagram] INFJs: what's your enneagram type?

[Skyward]

Reading type 9's enneagram institute description is like looking into a mirror, especially:

Level 5: Active, but disengaged, unreflective, and inattentive. Do not want to be affected, so become unresponsive and complacent, walking away from problems, and "sweeping them under the rug." Thinking becomes hazy and ruminative, mostly comforting fantasies, as they begin to "tune out" reality, becoming oblivious. Emotionally indolent, unwillingness to exert self or to focus on problems: indifference.

I think that I could be an En3 that is 'disintegrating,' though. Definitely doing more reading now.

EDIT: TOTALLY a nine. I read the levels and can see how my mood changes and how I view the world changes with that. When I am in a good mood I am at level 2 or 3, but in a crappy mood I am at 5 or even 6. My life is just rising and lowering tides like that. I just hope what I am believing right now is the truth, and not a current fantasy I have tricked myself with.

EDIT: Yes yes YES! I relate so well to what is said about instincts and how 9s react to it. I am definitely 'lost in the clouds' a lot, too. And the last part answered a question nagging at me:

We have sometimes called the Nine the crown of the Enneagram because it is at the top of the symbol and because it seems to include the whole of it. Nines can have the strength of Eights, the sense of fun and adventure of Sevens, the dutifulness of Sixes, the intellectualism of Fives, the creativity of Fours, the attractiveness of Threes, the generosity of Twos, and the idealism of Ones. However, what they generally do not have is a sense of really inhabiting themselves—a strong sense of their own identity.

Now I am starting to think that INFJs can easily be 9s because of that. It makes it hard for some of us to type ourselves because of these facets and turn into red herrings because of our instincts: 'I am a hard worker so I should be a SJ or something.' The instincts, Ni?, cause us to jump to conclusions, but our 9-ness holds us back from acting on it too strongly.

A bad day has just turned into something better

I used to think I was a two (I posted earlier in this thread)

But I'm a 4w5.

Most commons: 4w5 & 9w1
Commons: 1w2, 2w1, 5, 6w5
Quite commons: 1w9, 4w3, 6w7, 9w8
Quite uncommon: The 3
Least commons: 7 & 8

 

[Tigerlily]

just now it was 3w1 or 3w8. two years ago it was 3w4, so not much has changed.

Three will only have either a Two or a Four wing.

Have you considered 1w2? I've tested as 3w4 before, and whenever I take enneagram tests I still continue to score high as a 3. I see some similarities between types 1 and 3, particularly in regards to ambition. This was what first made me think I was an enneatype 3.

INFJ Enneagram Correlations?

I'm an INFJ and I was wondering what Enneagram type you are. I'm a 9w1.

 

[InTheFlesh]

I'm a 9w8, but I have strong relations to 4's, which is the most common Enneagram type for INFJ's.
But then again, I see A TON of 5 and a little 6 too. My Enneagram variation depends somewhat on what mood you catch me in

 

[Lux]

I am a 9w1 sx / sp / so.

 

[BlackCat]

INFJs are usually 1, 4, 9, occasionally 5. Anyone can be a 6, so factor that in too.

 

[InTheFlesh]

Is it too late to add wings to the poll?

 

[InTheFlesh]

INFJs are usually 1, 4, 9, occasionally 5. Anyone can be a 6, so factor that in too.

Not necessarily, but people can pick up the stereotypical traits of being distrusting and quiet. People tend not to look into the details of being a 6, it's kind of overlooked.
I'm sorry if I came off like a know-it-all or something of that sort, it wasn't my intention=/

 

[Polaris]

Four, with tendencies toward Five that have gotten much stronger in recent years (learning to use my tertiary Ti).

 

[Anamalech]

5w4

Is it too late to add wings to the poll?

Yeah, but...

Merged with older INFJ thread and new poll with wings added.

This means if you had already voted, you will need to do so again.
