woofwoofl's enneagram type

[woofwoofl]

I've had a lot of suggestions for an Enneagram typing which is at odds with the one displayed here, and I wonder how much other people see that I don't in that regard, and specifically what that would be... I also want to hyperconcentrate everything in this thread to get the mojo going...

And yes, for all of the focus I've got on the environment around me, there's not a lot of me focusing on myself in those introspective kinda ways, despite me having been around myself for more time than anyone else has been around me... hence, the poll, which should hopefully show up (and if it doesn't, it would rule for a mod to get a poll up in here of all 9 types)...

Anyways, fire away, it's open season here

3w2 fits very well with the overall picture of you.

I can only think of 7 as some other base type, maybe 7w8.

so/sx is consistent with your behaviour.

how about you let us know what other types people consider you as?

[ashlesha]

my first unpolished thought: assertive triad, not 8, 3 or 7.

competency triad feels good too which would leave 3.

[Reuben]

he's clearly an sei 9.

[GuavaDrunk]

Curious: what will you do with your enneagram type?

[Gilly]

3w2 without a shred of doubt. It's all over you, hombre.

[Absurd]

E3 looks to be the correct one, although, it's just me and I can be wrong.

[Hot Scalding Gayser]

Yeah 3 makes the most sense.

If you're not very introspective, then that really points to 3.

I also think you might be a 7 though.

[woofwoofl]

Curious: what will you do with your enneagram type?

One thing will be to find out when I'm integrating and disintegrating so I can do more of the former and less of the latter...

Also, if I can pinpoint some of my actions as being the result of disintegration, integration, wings, type, tritype, etc., that would be revelatory and a tremendous help for me

how about you let us know what other types people consider you as?

I didn't want to; I thought it would color the results, but that bigass "3w2" all over my everything, coupled with the complete and total lack of any other Enneagram typing, could very well be doing exactly that

Anyways, a lot of strong cases for 7 have been made; 1 and 6 have been said to exist at least in my tritype or as a wing, and if other typings have been made, I can't currently recall them...

Thanks for all who posted so far, I've read them all and took them to mind

For all who didn't, fire away if you want to

[Korpsy Knievel]

Though many aspects of 7 jibe with my knowledge of you I found that it was not only a general mis-fit but also that neither wing struck the proper note. 3w2, on the other hand, outlines your presented persona well. My reference is Rico & Hudson's "Discovering Your Personality Type".

[Raver]

I think 7w6 is a strong possibility for you, however 3w2 also fits.

[Korpsy Knievel]

I think 7w6 is a strong possibility for you, however 3w2 also fits.

7 and 3 share general traits of the highly outwardly-directed individual who strives for experience and accomplishment, but the former often seems to encompass a selfish forcefulness in pursuit of desires that woof doesn't really exhibit. His promotion of others also strikes me as following an egalitarian "rising tides lift all boats" outlook instead of an egotistic one that draws others along in its wake, which also causes me to find 3 more fitting than 7.

Fair enough, it does explain the ambiguity between the two Enneagram types.

[Korpsy Knievel]

Fair enough, it does explain the ambiguity between the two Enneagram types.

Truthfully it's just an impression gathered from thumbing through a cheap book for five minutes each day on the toilet, plus observing individuals who appear to best suit either type. One important differentiating aspect I'll ponder a bit more is either type's "passion", according to my book being vanity for Threes ("I must perform") and gluttony for Sevens ("I must experience").

[Nico1e]

I'm just expressing an opinion here, and it's not going to be very helpful to anyone at all, but, I myself just kinda gave up completely on even trying to use the enneagram at all, a while back. This was after a couple years during which I 'tried on' every single one of the enneagram types except types 2 and 8, because those are the only ones that I'm sure I'm not. I did things to try to explain the differences between the enneagram and other typing systems, and in the end, I actually agreed with the people who said that the enneagram was a failed attempt to describe the same personalities that socionics had described better. But it's a long story and ehh, I don't care too much anymore.

Sorry that I can't be of any help, I was just griping.

[Absurd]

Just as I thought.

[FDG]

7w6 IMHO. Although I've had pretty bad experiences with 3s so don't take me as an objective source.

I just want to let you know before hand that my knowledge is limited in Enneagram as it is just something I have only recently decided to take seriously.

The primary reasons I feel 7w6 over 3w2 for woof is his general behavior:

For instance in music, rather than choosing to be a master of one instrument to indicate prowess, which is what a 3 might do. In his case, he has decided to be a jack of all trades, being proficient in several instruments, but not necessarily mastering them. To me this would indicate 7 behavior of wanting to learn several skill traits and not just be limited with one specifically.

I don't really see him as showing that much 8 behavior so a 6 would make sense as a wing for him, though it may not be that obvious at first glimpse. I think he most likely would be a head type over a heart type IMO. However, 3w2 is something that seems believable, but doesn't strike a chord to me as being his dominant form of behavior, which in that case it is most likely a part of his tri-type.

The main question comes down to is woof a head type or a heart type? I choose head type, but heart type is a distinct possibility. However either way, I'm pretty sure he fits the so/sx type stacking very well.

I used to feel the same way Nico1e, however I've realized that the Enneagram is essential in describing aspects of ourselves that are not adequately illustrated by Socionics. It covers ground on a lot of areas that Socionics fails to deliver despite the overlap and when you include type stackings than it becomes a more than suitable way to complete the puzzle of who and other people are.

[Korpsy Knievel]

I mentioned to woof earlier that I thought about it a trace more and 7 is quite possibly it. 6 wing would be sensible if that were the case, too.

[Aiss]

One important differentiating aspect I'll ponder a bit more is either type's "passion", according to my book being vanity for Threes ("I must perform") and gluttony for Sevens ("I must experience").

^ this. 7's motivation is going against limitations (real or imaginary), wanting to try everything and have every choice available to them, when unhealthy to the point of being unable to let any opportunity pass even if it means they can't achieve anything in the end, but are just grasping at straws - "the world limits me". 3's motivation is to be loved/admired (heart triad, people!), and they believe it to be gained through successes - "the world loves me for what I achieve, not for who I am". 7 is more into can't-stop-myself-from-trying-everything and 3 is into achieve-and-show-it. 3s are too often characterized as "posers" whereas they genuinely strive for success, not just image of it, but it's usually something which value would be widely recognized, unhealthy ones falling prey to making others' expectations their own.

[Reuben]

I sound 7.

[Raver]

I sound 7.

That's because you're a 7w6 as well.

[Absurd]

Hey korpsey, how many times can you go wrong before it really sinks in? Oh ye, hey Nicole, I'm supervising korpsey, come quick and type me, you Bob Marley looking freak.

I totally agree with you . I have no idea what type in enneagram I am and I've typed myself as 2, 4 and 7

[woofwoofl]

Once again, thanks for all who have commented and/or voted, or have been considering things that have not come to a conclusion solidly enough to post even

I've been reading a 305 page book on Enneagram that I'm 2/3 the way through (it's The Everything Enneagram Book by Susan Reynolds, who I heavily suspect is Delta and NF, probably Ne-IEE); I'll probably have to read some more, which means becoming a member of more libraries, which will give me more motivation to bike ride; all of the aforementioned are good things...

I'll have to look into the different triads to be more certain; when I get stuck in Socionics, I start going into Reinins, anything to move things forward so I don't get blockaded like this... I will say I've been paying more mind to 7 than I previously have, and it bugs me for me to be unable to nail it down...

[Pa3s]

Why not 7w8? This was actually the first thing that came to my mind without much thinking. All in all, I think it's mostly 7>3.

[Nico1e]

Absurd I think you are triggering my ignore function. See, I typed you correctly.

Piss off cunt, you're getting on my nerves and I don't like that.

I totally agree with you, I don't like the tragic and regrettable shortage of ILI females either. If I could get them, I would flood this place with them.

This is starting to feel like a thread derailment.

What the fuck are you even talking about? I mean, if ever would be put in a cage with you, you wouldn't make it out alive.
