What’s My Type? (Enneagram or MBTI or Both lol)

[beckywiththegoodhair]

How old are you? What's your gender? Give us a general description of yourself.

I'm a 23 year old girl. I am extroverted, empathetic, no-nonsense, matter of fact, and (hopefully) funny lol.



Is there a medical diagnosis that impact your mental/comportamental stability somehow?

N/A



Describe your upbringing. Did it have any kind of religious or structured influence? How did you respond to it?

I had a tremendous childhood. I grew up in church my whole life and in Christian school. It’s the best thing that ever could have happened to me and I thank God that He directed my parents to do so



What do you do as a job or as a career (if you have one)? Do you like it? Why or why not?

I was the Training Director at a CFA. I loveddd my position and what the job detailed. I love teaching people how to do things. I did not like the people I worked with because they just didn’t respect me. I am now a Corporate Training Specialist for a restaurant business that works remotely and I enjoy the fact that I can get all my work done in a span of a few concentrated hours and I have the freedom to be able to travel and just take my laptop with me!



If you had to spend an entire weekend by yourself, how would you feel? Would you feel lonely or refreshed?

Um I’d hate it so much. If feel super ridiculously lonely and try to FaceTime with whoever would answer or if there’s the option to leave to go hang out with someone else I’d TAKE IT. I’d also feel super anxious at every noise that someone was trying to break into my house lol.



What is your relation with movement and your surroundings? For instance do you prefer a sport or outdoors event? If an outdoors event what is it? And why? If not what type of activities do you tend to engage i?

Um, I’ve never really thought about it, but i used to play sports as a kid. I love going to basketball games and I get super into sports when I actually do/want to watch them lol. I also love exploring my area and going to different coffee shops and restaurants.



How curious are you? Do you have more ideas then you can execute? What are your curiosities about? What are your ideas about - is it environmental or conceptual, and can you please elaborate?

Yessss. I’ve had so many ideas and they’d be so detailed that I’d get overwhelmed trying to put them on paper. Sooo many book/play ideas. I just can never figure out how to execute them in the exact way I want so then I give up lol. I just *know* how I want it to look in my head, but I struggle figuring out how to translate it to real life lol.



Would you enjoy taking on a leadership position? Do you think you would be good at it? What would your leadership style be?

I have been in one before and I liked while I was in it, but I’m too laid-back and conflict averse to want to be in the top leadership position. Frankly, I don’t care about my position so long as people treat me with respect and value my opinion(not necessarily agree, but just respect my thoughts, feelings, and opinions lol).



Are you coordinated? Why do you feel as if you are or are not? Do you enjoy working with your hands in some form? Describe your activity?

I am definitely clumsy. Like, think Mia Thermopolis lol. I like baking/cooking if that counts. I love it because I can pour all my attention into it, especially if I have a lot on my mind. It makes me feel grounded.



Are you artistic? If yes, describe your art? If you are not particular artistic but can appreciate art please likewise describe what forums of art you enjoy. Please explain your answer.

I am a little. Although any “artistic” projects I accidentally turn scientific(i.e. baking) or become an over perfectionist.



What's your opinion about the past, present, and future? How do you deal with them?

I try only to remember the past to help me remember the mistakes I made so I don’t make them again. I don’t really think of the past otherwise. I mean I remember good things from my childhood. I think I’m more so focused on the present and the next right thing, but I like to dream of the good things to come. Although there are times when I can get hyperfixated one the past and things I’ve done wrong and that can be tough to escape, but God always helps me and gets me out of those scenarios I put on myself lol.



How do you act when others request your help to do something (anything)? If you would decide to help them, why would you do so?

I’ll do it if I feel well equipped or am available. I’d help them cause as humans we should try to help one another.



Do you need logical consistency in your life?

100% yes



How important is efficiency and productivity to you?

I try to be efficient in the best way I can, but sometimes I just need to relax(which I don’t think is the direct opposite of being productive tho) because if I work til empty I find I’m not even that productive at that point and start making mistakes.



Do you control others, even if indirectly? How and why do you do that?

I don’t believe so. I wouldn’t ever do it consciously and I don’t think I would do it at all.



What are your hobbies? Why do you like them?

Reading, singing, playing the guitar, cooking, and baking. I like any activity that I can fully immerse myself in.



What is your learning style? What kind of learning environments do you struggle with most? Why do you like/struggle with these learning styles? Do you prefer classes involving memorization, logic, creativity, or your physical senses?

I prefer physical senses when it comes to learning, I don't like memorization at all. Hands on training is my fav and I find it the most efficient.



How good are you at strategizing? Do you easily break up projects into manageable tasks? Or do you have a tendency to wing projects and improvise as you go?

I usually will try to plan it, but end up just winging it.



What's important to you and why?

This may be cheesy to some, but living a life that pleases Christ because in it is fullness of joy, peace, and He is just worthy of it no matter how it benefits me.



What are your aspirations?

To serve God with everything I have and submit more and more to Him as time goes on. To be the best person i can be. To be better and smarter, and wiser. To give myself more grace. And to just have a good life(which i do!).



What are your fears? What makes you uncomfortable? What do you hate? Why?

I’m afraid of the unknown. Like the ocean FREAKS me out cause like only 5% has been discovered i think? LIKE IS NO ONE ELSE IS WEIRDED OUT BY THAT??? i don’t like when people invaded my space. I hate being ignored and talked down to. I also despiseeee being yelled at, but that seems like it would be a universal experience. It’s like tho, WHO do you think you are to talk to *anyone* like that?????



What do the "highs" in your life look like?

The best times are the simple ones that I’ve spent with my family and/or friends and Jesus.



What do the "lows" in your life look like?

I used to literally hate everything about myself and I felt like my life was going no where. When I feel like I have no purpose at all I get discouraged. And I feel really low when I will unfortunately get overly angry with members of my family.



How attached are you to reality? Do you daydream often, or do you pay attention to what's around you? If you do daydream, are you aware of your surroundings while you do so?

I daydream a lotttt. I will be in the moment when I’m with someone, but when I zone out I’m still kind of aware of my surroundings unless I’m exhausted lol.



Imagine you are alone in a blank, empty room. There is nothing for you to do and no one to talk to. What do you think about?

How to GET OUT!



How long do you take to make an important decision? And do you change your mind once you've made it?

I take a while and then I just make a decision cause I just want to decide and get it over with lol. It would depend on the importance and the flexibility of the decision.



How long do you take to process your emotions? How important are emotions in your life?

I will never mean to not process my emotions or ignore them because I’ve realized how toxic ignoring my emotions could be.



Do you ever catch yourself agreeing with others just to appease them and keep the conversation going? How often? Why?

Uh, not really. If i don’t agree with you I’m not gonna lie. I’ll just say “agree to disagree” lol.



Do you break rules often? Do you think authority should be challenged, or that they know better? If you do break rules, why would you?

I rarely(if ever) break the rules. They’re there for a reason right? But if I find them unethical I will take it up with the authority and challenge them.



What is the ideal life, in your opinion?

A joyful and content one no matter where you are

ESFJ

I know you're currently questioning TeSi & FeSi but your Se seems very developed. In fact, it appears to be more developed than your Si:
"I think I’m more so focused on the present and the next right thing, but I like to dream of the good things to come."
"any activity that I can fully immerse myself in."
~"...exploring my area and going to different coffee shops and restaurants."
+ a few other minor signifiers
You seem to mostly live in the moment and experience things to their fullest which is a major trait difference when comparing Se to Si.
So maybe look into SeTi/SeFi. Especially SeFi.

I'm still strong on the e2 statement from earlier, I don't see anything from your questionnaire that points to e9 but I completely understand why you would consider it as an option.
"If I don’t agree with you I’m not gonna lie. I’ll just say “agree to disagree"” That practically gave it away.

Oh interesting! I’d considered esfp or estp for a while, but I didn’t relate to a lot of the stereotypes. I’d have to look back over it! Yeah I really do strongly relate to the enneagram 2 core values so that tracks!

 

[SensEye]

It seems to me you are an obvious E (you say so yourself) and an obvious F. I would guess ESFJ but your creative/artistic side leads me to think you might be ESFP. I'm not one to think MBTI functions are black and white. There is a spectrum IMO, so I think you might be a soft S and a soft J. So I would still guess ESFJ but with some of the qualities of an ESFP and maybe even a few of an ENFP.

I'm not all that familiar with enneagram so I will stay out of that one.

Ohhh I usually hear some kind of esxj so do you mind explaining why you could also think esfp or enfp?

It was the comment about your hobbies (reading, singing, playing guitar) and that you mentioned you daydream a lot. The latter is certainly not a trait I associate with SJ's. They are usually all job jars and to do lists for their spare time.

But I still think you are most likely ESFJ. You simply appear to have a few traits that stray from a typical one.

Hi Becky, I'm going to give ya another ESFJ vote. Your fear around the unknown seems a bit lower Ne, especially with the ocean analogy. I think any type can daydream really-it really depends about what, but it could be attributed to tertiary Ne. Tertiary functions are often known as the comfort function. There's just a very Je-ish vibe about you that isn't Te. Also, I noticed your answers are pretty short and sweet, which I noticed is pretty common with S types with not a rule. Also, I don't know if you know much about socionics, but you have huge alpha vibes. You mentioned ignoring your emotions-even if you're getting better with that I think the fact that it was a struggle for ya seems a bit more Fe.

As for Enneagram, there's not much to go on, it's more of an MBTI geared Q, but I don't see any qualms with E2. Someone else mentioned E9, but you don't strike me as a withdrawn type and you seem pretty superego core. It could be in your tri for sure, though.

 

[beckywiththegoodhair]

I don’t know what you mean with the socionics, but giving alpha vibes seems pretty iconic lol!
