I'm becoming increasingly interested in Tri-fix theory. Basically it states that a person has 1 head, 1 heart, and 1 gut type of the enneagram embedded into their instincts. I think I'm 4,5,9 tri-fix.

You're a 6, shut the fuck up.Originally Posted by hitta
I'm 3w4; if I had a trifix, if would definitely be 9w1 for the gut triad and either 5w6 or 7w6 for the head triad. I haven't thought about the last one very seriously.

Actually, looking into it some more (still tentative, but I think I'm right), I would say that my head type would be 5w4. Having two 4 wings is interesting.
5 brings out a lot things that I do see in my personality, beneath the dominance of the 3 type personality. It explains my strong intellectual bent, the extent by which I often feel I even intellectualise my internal emotional responses. It probably exacerbates the difficulty I experience with intimacy as a 3; I've always had trouble forming and sustaining meaningful connection with more than a select few people. It compounds my fear of emotional vulnerability and explains my tendency to try and withdraw first in order to process some emotions. It also explains why I dislike when people impose upon me, either in rudeness or in kindness - I'm uncomfortable with having people become too emotionally invested in me, because I fear being overwhelmed by their demands - and also fear that I can't possibly reciporcate and will end up hurting them.
So, 3w4-5w4-9w1.

So, first I have an instinctual awareness of Se, and now I'm too assertive to be a 4?Originally Posted by Ezra
My new type is Se-ISTj 8w7
lol...
I haven't attached myself to shit. Just because I don't buy into your vast misrepresentations of your personality ("I feel like I'm meant to do something amazing"...lol), doesn't mean I have attached myself to anything.Originally Posted by hitta

Who said I was trying to impose any belief on you? I've told you before why I think you're a 6; I don't care whether you believe me or not. The only reasoning you've ever given for being a 5 or a 4 was superficial traits about being unique and having social fear. So much for reading the books.
though i don't quite know how to differentiate, i think 5-8-4 is probably more appropriate than 5-8-3 for me.
I changed my mind. I think I'm 7w6, 1w2, 3w4.
Hmm okay that works.

I'd probably be a 5w4 4w5 9w? (though not necessarily in that order).
Sometimes I really have no clue what you're all on about.

A fun way to figure out your Trifix might be to take one of the tests that score you for each type, such as this one:
My highest Head type is 7.Enneagram Personality Type Indicator Results
Your highest score will indicate you basic type, or it will be among the top 2-3 scores. Low scores in some type might come out negative. That's perfectly normal.
For best results, you should answer all the questions that apply.
The Nine Personality Types of the EnneagramCode:Type 1 Type 2 Type 3 Type 4 Type 5 Type 6 Type 7 Type 8 Type 9 -7 -2 4 1 1 0 9 -3 -3
Type 1: The Reformer. The rational, idealistic type.
Type 2: The Helper. The caring, nurturing type.
Type 3: The Motivator. The adaptable, success-oriented type.
Type 4: The Artist. The intuitive, reserved type.
Type 5: The Thinker. The perceptive, cerebral type.
Type 6: The Skeptic. The committed, security-oriented type.
Type 7: The Generalist. The enthusiastic, productive type.
Type 8: The Leader. The powerful, aggressive type.
Type 9: The Peacemaker. The easygoing, accommodating type.
My highest Heart type is 3.
And my highest Gut type is tied between 8 and 9.

Type 3: -8
Type 4: 12
Type 5: 0
Type 6: 1
Type 7: 4
Type 8: -8
Type 9: 8
So this would make me?
Head: 7w6
Heart: 4w5
Gut: 9w8
It seems awful easy to come out a four on this test.

Type 1 = -7
Type 2 = -6
Type 3 = 2
Type 4 = 10
Type 5 = 4
Type 6 = -3
Type 7 = 5
Type 8 = 6

Type 2 7
Type 3 -1
Type 4 11
Type 5 0
Type 6 0
Type 7 -9
Type 8 -10
Type 9 11
This is about what I expected.
Before I took the test I had speculated that I am 9-4-5
INFj
9w1 sp/sx
Type 1: 0
Type 2: -8
Type 3: 3
Type 4: 5
Type 5: 10
Type 6: -1
Type 7: -5
Type 8: -2
Type 9: -2
this would indicate 5-1-4 (as well as 5w4). i'm not the biggest fan in the world of this test and it uses a lot of triads so it is perhaps not the best for determining wing and/or trifix. for example i still think 5-8-4 would probably be more appropriate than 5-1-4; it's merely a limitation of how much information the test can accumulate.

Obsequium amicos, veritas odium parit
Grr. that test sucks.
It says I'm highest in 8. And that I'm equal with 5/7 and 2/4.
Go figure.
Let's see ... Would I rather in a heart way:
* HELP OTHERS ;
OR
* UNDERSTAND OTHERS
To me I see that by understanding others they can help themselves. And so you don't need to help them. And so then they can fuck off. And be a better person for it. Double win. Let's go with 4.
Then would I rather:
* THINK THINGS THROUGH
or
* HAVE A MILLION THOUGHTS
Well, I love the rush of thinking; I love going with something; anything. but sometimes I have to reign myself in. Like a cat waiting to pounce on it's prey I try to keep a hold until I know I can get the victim. And yet what happens? My mind spins, and spins and spins.
I start talking and I can't shut the fuck up; all this crap comes flying through my mind and I have to do something. Anything. To get rid of the pressure build up. The pressure's too high. Must release. so I'm going with 7 as much as I'd like to be fluid and smooth with a long reach like a 5.
And then ... 8/9/1 ... Well fuck it. I want to *FEEL ALIVE*. And 1s they make me want to fucking strangle them. They're always trying to "restrict" to limit. To compel one to act irrationally by their very rigidity. FUCK THEM. well, hangon, 9s can be cool. Easy. I need a break. I need to , nah fuck it .. Let's go with eight..
Now what, what the fuck's my prefix. And wings. And OMG it's all too fucking complicated.
Maybe I'm a 4. Unique and individual. Like a snowflake.
mercutio, you're probably a 7w8. You're almost certainly an Assertive (Three, Seven or Eight). It recognises the Eightish traits in you, which is why you came out high on it. 7w8s, especially SLE 7w8s, tend to look quite Eightish in many aspects. Jack Nicholson often plays 7w8s, and looks like an Eight (sometimes he does actually play 8w7s, like in A Few Good Men).
