[Traditional Enneagram] The Ultimate Enneagram Reference Thread

If four is your lowest score, then it means 6 is higher. According to the test, you'd be 5w6.

If four is your lowest score, then it means 6 is higher. According to the test, you'd be 5w6.

However, I identify with a 5w4 description more than I do with a 5w6 one. Although they are really close.

Like I said, the tests seem focused on the dominant type. I do not identify with 4s in the least, yet when expressed through the 5 as a wing the meaning transforms.

Or so I tell myself.

 

[Udog]

If they are close, it's very possible it was just the test.

The 4 wing just helps to describe exactly how the 5 reflects. From my observations, it's not entirely different from the auxiliary function. INTP and ISTP are very different types, despite both being Ti-dominant.

 

[JoSunshine]

I think so. I consider myself a 5w4 [or maybe a 6, I'm confused] but when I take a test, 4 is my LOWEST score. I think most tests are only good for determining a primary candidate, then rely on the descriptions for your wing.

But! But! I don't wanna be a 1 wing! :steam: I don't want to be perfect! Good, yes...perfect nooooooooooo

 

[mr.awesome]

so i was looking for enneagram quizzes or something to give me insight without reading a short novel of information to determine what i am. i found a few quizzes... im questioning their reliability though as they just gave me an answer of "5"

total noob to enneagram stuff.

Updated the OP with Enneagram Tests, Instinctual Subtypes, Tritype, and Enneagram Type Reports! and the Soul Child descriptions.

If I used that website, I wouldn't even identify with my type.
Not only is a lot of it unlike me, it's 180 degrees opposite me.

 

[Invisiblemonkey]

Hm. I'd type myself as an 1w9, but I rely more on my own extrapolation of rules and moral systems, as opposed to a more clearly defined over-philosophy. (Basically, I see myself as my own variant.)

This rather interesting piece might be a relevant addition:
Interpreting Riso-Hudson Enneagram Type Indicator Data With the Enneagram of Consciousness

I'm impressed by how it couples MBTI-functions to the enneagram in the following way

1: Te
2: Fe
3: 'Me'
4: Ne
5: Ti
6: Fi
7: Se
8: Si
9: Ni

Read it for the explanations and lots of other pairings

I interpret the allocated function as the one you're aimed at realizing (can be totally different than your conscious function(s))

I think this is a very good site. From what I can see, she follows mostly Maitri's enneagram interpretation.

and this about using Enneagram in couple therapy Lissa Friedman, Ph.D. Art Therapy, Enneagram of Awakening Consciousness Workshops:Articles is very interesting and portrays why is enneagram in many cases more useful than MBTI.

1: Te
2: Fe
3: 'Me'
4: Ne
5: Ti
6: Fi
7: Se
8: Si
9: Ni

I don't think that's exactly right.

 

[Neutralpov]

ENFJ 1w2

I don't think that's exactly right.

I agree that it is close but not exact. Do you guys line up with it?

1 is Te and I am ENFJ but I have high EJ so I think the high J pulls me to a 1. I am also a perfectionist as my top trait so us 1's are not the sweet mushy twos that are usually ENFJ's. But make no mistake my Fe is fixed on people not things or strategizing like those ENTJ's who have Te.

i'm curious... is it possible to change enneagram types? i used to test and be very much a 4 with a 5 wing. however, i just retested and got an 8! i feel like, in the house i do come off quite aggressive and confrontational, but outside the house, i'm a bit more reserved. the aggressive/confrontational side i always felt i picked up from my dad and from having pesky roommates that don't pick up after themselves. and i can be this way in relationships as well, when i feel my personal space is being constantly invaded. any other isfp's with an 8?
