Enneagram types of ENFps

[jewels]

i can't seem to figure out which enneagram type I am...what are you other ENFps?

[macysmama]

I'm not sure either. These are the top ones I considered:
2, 3, 4, 7

[Errant]

TEH INTERNETS say you're most likely to be a 2 or 7, but MB and enneagrams do not correlate well.

This is starting to become an enneagram forum.

I thought I read 16types.com somewhere, not 9types.com

But oke, ENFP can be 1,2,3,4,7,9 IMO

Ive kind of only briefly read the enneagram. It kind of concerns me that so many people are such big fans of it from here. I wonder if perhaps i have just convinced myself that i see socionics where there is none. It seemed to me that the enneagram wasn't specific enough, much like astrology.

You said they dont correlate well together, is that because one is actually wrong or just because they seem to assess different parts of personality?

[Errant]

From my (admittedly rather limited) understanding, MB attempts to explain how we go about our daily lives and interactions with other people, while an enneagram typing attempts to explain why. Neither is (probably) wrong, it's just a matter of focus.

I am 7w6.

On the enneagram:

Here we hopefully don't get into big debate. It really doesn't seem possible to be an ENFp if you are a 9. In reality the descriptions and behaviours of them both don't match up. ENFp's are too independent, they can be too volatile at times when their principles are challenged or something bothers them and they will speak out and rock the boat rather than try to blend in. They are also too active. ISFp's are your typical 9's, and some INFp's can be 9's as well.

Type 7 is an ENFp's enneagram. If you read a few of the descriptions, you begin to see it is almost like it is talking about someone with leading

Not likely 1, 3 or 4.

Jury's out on 9.

At first when I read this thread I was like

One test I took gave me a 9. (I think maybe even a 9w1, but I can't remember at the moment..) But reading the descriptions on esper's site, 7w6 seems to fit best. I haven't really delved into it too deeply, though.

[mikemex]

I'm probably an oddball being 6w5.

1, no. I can only see myself being a 1 when I'm really stressed (maybe that's the negative ISTj thing).

2, probably no. I see 2 as being more ESFj...I don't see myself like that at at all. though, I did have a phase where I was into baking for people. maybe that was 2-ish...

3, yeah, I can be 3 sometimes.

4. I have 4 moments, especially when I'm down. Maybe this is the Fi thing.

NOT 5 or 6!

7, definitely, except I'm not quite that flighty...it's described as running around looking for fun and while I do that, I don't do that all the time, and I reflect more than that. This type sounds somewhat shallow and they don't seem to be aware why they're doing what they're doing, and they seem less emotionally sensitive. 7 seems more ESFp or ESTp to me.

NOT 8

9, I'm not, but people who don't know me well might think that, as I'm polite.

So I guess...

3, with a splash of 4, and two scoops of 7
