Based on the percentage values my Enneagram tritype is 5 - 8 - 4Quote:

I don't know.
And I've been here a while.
Ignore the long descriptions. Take all 9 core motivations & fears, lay them out on paper. Start crossing out the ones least like you and slowly narrow them down. Look for patterns in why and how you act.Quote:

Seven seems more like me, then again, I figure if I had to choose a single motivation, then maybe I'd choose the eight's because being self-governed but not satisfied (if only temporarily so) is better than being satisfied under someone else's control, or worse, because of someone else's control.Quote:
Enneagram Type 7 Core Desire: Being Satisfied / Being ContentTo expand on those two descriptions, 7’s want to be satisfied, content, happy, unrestrained, and free.
Enneagram Type 8 Core Desire: Being Self-Governed / Being Independent
To expand on those two descriptions, 8’s want to be self-governed, independent, and they want to be able to protect themselves (and those they care about)
The thing about eight is that I don't try to dominate others or control them, especially not by giving orders. People like that are a pain in the ass lol. Why would I want to be like that? But if we're going to argue against typing oneself based on traits, but rather on motivations (like the site says), then I can see type eight being likely. I've always wanted to avoid being controlled, usually by doing my own thing and ignoring everyone else, rather than by exercising power in a traditional fashion.
I know type 8 SLEs here who would say the same. 8s don't necessarily have a need to control others, its not a core motivation. Imo LIE and SLE are the most likely type 8s. You should explore type 8w7 more.Quote:

This subtype is a mass of contradictions. They want to let themselves go, but judge themselves for doing so. The difference between this type and the self-pres/sexual is that the sexual first intensity wins out. They can be highly critical of their spouses, expecting perfection from them. They can be very jealous and protective of their relationships. Their sense of humor can be sarcastic and biting. On the down side, they can be brutal to others while being very sensitive themselves to the slightest criticism. When their standards or ideals aren’t met, you’ll likely know about it. The anger and frustration is more visible in this subtype, and they also tend to be more emotionally demonstrative than the other non-sexual subtypes.
On the high side, the contradictions and struggle usually make for a very interesting person, combining high ideals with passion. Their blind spot can be their inability to see the impact of their intensity in the social realm.
8w7 so/sp 864
I’m a countertype 8, and a bit more “out there” than regular 8s. Keep in mind, 8 is about power over the physical world, manipulation of the material plane; not control over people. Control/power over people is 2. Control/power over information is 5. 2/5/8 are the power enneagrams, foundational.
Dunno, maybe 5 balanced wings or 6w5, with 4 fix
Whenever I've looked into it, my closest match has been 7w6. Of the three options given, my primary instinct is almost certainly self preservation (sp/sx stacking).
6w5 sp/sx though sp/so is possible.
Can't figure out my tritype, gave up on trying. 613? 693? 614? 694? One of those I guess.
I've been self-identifying as 8w9 sp/so since september-ish, that's when the core fear and motivation of 8 really sank in.

I like fact collecting and item sorting like legos and milkshakes crushing down your whole planetarium tarantella!
Just 5 twos... and the other four are probably defunct members
I'm still figuring it parts of it out but at this point 4w3 so/sx or sx/so is the best fit. Tritype, 4XX and I have to at least be doubly withdrawn, so there is a 5 or a 9 somewhere in there. If I have 9 then it is the last of all in my tritype.
Type 5, going by Naranjo. With a 4 wing I'm sure.
There aren't "virtues" to any type. The Enneagram represents instinctual blind spots and consistent weaknesses, not strengths, and it's nothing to be proud of or want to identify with. A proper type description should be painful to read, and the mass of pop-psychology Enneagram articles online people seem to read aren't that.
4w5 with alternative 4w3. A few people in community think I am a 6, but they do not at all know me, and a social 4 can often mirror social 6 superficially, but we want individuate and deal with ore depressive and feeling of shame.. I even cringe when I feel my uniqueness is stifled and get angry internally when an idea that I came up with is not original and others have come up with similar idea or concept, and I am horrified of that. I deal with considerable shame issue, and me being autistic and finding out as a little girl, and my father's abuse made me hate who I am and feel innately flawed, yet somehow I also have felt very unique, despite viewing myself as a defect.
This is me from a few years ago:
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachmen...t_01.37.34.png
Not 6 behavior.
My supervisor, Stugg (an LIE), always tries to challenge me on my 4 behaviors...
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachmen...t_22.53.59.png
6 undoubtedly is second in my tri, though, and I do have a lot of 6 behaviors combined with social 4 already overlapping some of the social 6 behavior.Quote:

I am with you, that how it is touted as entirely positive is falsehood. It is kind of gross how others will relentlessly reiterate what enneagram type they are to showcase it, when it is your weakest attribute and can also represent ill health. It is glamorized.. Though, there are some aspects with the type that are of positivity, and growing into your healthy self should be idealized.Quote:

Abuse is common of course, but the kind that results in an 8, not as much as subtle emotional abuse forms and neglect, that plague our society.
Generally I am against gatekeeping, but 8 is most certainly an exception and it should be kept, because truly, there are far more sexual 6's and the occasional sexual 4 who will mistype their own self as an 8. Sexual 1 also can mistype 8 as well.
Most real 8's are going to be SLE, and a fewer, SEE.
8's in fiction, however, are common of course, with the nature of super hero complex, and villains often are 8 and 1.
Just realized the 23 is for 9, not 8.. (happens to me all the time). Far more believable that 9 is of the most common types on this forum, the attachment triad being most of prevalence in society. (3, 6, 9).Quote:

It makes sense that they are mistyped 1s and 3s. They often idealized so-called progressive good people (i.e. Aslan, MLK Jr, Mother Theresa, and even AOC) as being "8s." I don't even think any of them are 8s. MLK Jr and Mother Theresa are both 1s. AOC is a neurotic Prussian 6. Aslan is an 9w8.
Funny to say this, but I think the Facebook MBTI ESTP group (which is supposed to be for SLE and SEE) is more 8-ish than the enneagram 8 group.
I can easily believe people obsessed with themselves are the most common type on a personality forum. People are drawn here for the same reason unstable girls major in psychology -- they want to figure out what's wrong with them.Quote:

I would personally put me money on 6 being the most common type here, and then 4, 5 and 9 being common as well here. The nature of 5 looking to explore and expand their understanding and studying patterns, and then somehow, 4 using this community to help them find and better understand their true self. But I don't think it would be most common. My money is on 6. The entire idea of having a community is for one, a very social focus, and community to 6 is very important more so than most other type, and since social 6 often mirror social 4, some people self-typing 4, may really be social 6.
6 to begin with is one of the most prevalent types in our society, with how society breeds people at a general, and 6 is a very versatile type in regards to Socio type.
I would put 8 and 7 as the most rare types to be seen on a forum as this, 7 being less likely to care about this and wanting go out, and 8 already being uncommon.
Well if you're type 4 maybe your fear is that there isn't anything wrong with you.Quote:

The idea of sharing insights with others, to see if they are true, can be seen as a very E6 tendency. Of course , you will have people who will use the site to find their own self as well and better understand their own selves, but it appears that sixes would have most gain out of the culture and formatting this site is.Quote:

Common mistypes for 6 can be 2 (community focused type, and feeling like they give themselves away, when they just want to give to community to ensure their support and protection), social 4 because validation is a need (but unlike 4, they do not strive to individuate and are more dwelling in anxiety and fear than are, shame), and 3 also can be very common because it can be the area of disintegration and with nature of this site, you may be more likely to find unhealthy people since many will use typology as means to improve their own life, indent yet being improved they are not at peak health which would expect from a 9. Because 6 already is very high here and it is one of the most likely types to mistype here, it probably already is guaranteed most common.
That is another thing; people will need account for their health level and to see if they are disintegrated or are functioning from their own type. Many people here probably are not in the knowing of what disintegration is, and are just going from mere pop psych sites.
How old the results are matter too, in contrast to how many people recently have voted. What may have been the most common type at one time, other almost equally common types could have by now, caught up, and maybe that also is in part of why the culture now looks far more 6.
Owns seven should be own selves, but I don't feel like having an edit receipt on that.. And also, 6's with 4 in their trip type very well may feel like a 4 core, especially if they are a social variant.Quote:

The fact both beta and delta exists proves there is right timing for both methods, but the incorrect usage of method is what leads to ill. The incorrect timing, not using what needs at the given time for what is necessary.
It is symbolical beta comes before delta, and sometimes war and attrition must come for peace to prevail in its after.
There is time to rest, but you cannot rest until all that needs for rest to come, is no longer active and for it to threaten the peace that only will again awaken.
delta would be the last phase of life incarnation, where you have been through theater three ones, and then you go to a new beginning like alpha, in the other side of it all, after Earth.
The Ne helps one to explore the new world and then what will be after you graduate, and then in between the Ni helps one to focus on learning in life..
Then Fi in last phase helps one to close what they need and build what needs to next level and then the Ti in new life would help one to learn and figure out the working of that new life...

Ofc there’s always a healthier way to channel something. But I doubt I will stop being triggered around my in/ability to attract those I want to.
well…maybe not quite…? One way I see that happening is finding a soulmate and becoming one with him. I do people have multiple soulmates so hopefully there will be more than one chance - but I need only one soulmate anyway. Then my soul would literally be at complete and utter peace for the most part, as if what I intended and wanted most in life has been taken care of (or so I hope/imagine)
Late reply, but I'm comfortable with expressing anger and moving on, and am very fixated on direct control over my life. I also don't engage in physical activity if it is too strenuous or unpleasant, I prefer to enjoy things at my own pace.Quote:

I've settled on 5w4.
I'm still a 9. Sadly....lol kidding.
I thought my tritype was 964 for the longest, now I'm thinking I could be 972, it actually makes more sense to how I act in real life. But the 964 also feels a lot like me but deeper. The curse of relating to everything!
Balanced wings 6 core lmao
Lmao so I'm a 4w5, in the tritype, which i've since read articles on how it 'isn't real', but for the sake of exploring this... I'm a 459. 4w5 5w4 and 9w1.
definitely am sx/sp also.
and I'm an ESI so i have Ne polr, andd we've been in a pandemic and i've been existing in an industry that's a poor fit for me. (will be getting out, once i get this degree next year-ish)
anyway, 4 5 and 9 all have the 'withdrawn' stance. so no f*ing wonder why i withdraw from a wider network of folks when i'm stressed (which is often) and have the burning desire for someone to fully see me and support me (see me in a 4 way, support me in teni ways).
i was reading yesterday on the forum LIEs talk about how challenging it is to meet ESIs, and also to become closer to them over time when the ESI alr has slotted someone into an appropriate level of closeness.
i take the obvious smack in the face (of what i've alr been talking about for months) that i NEED to make more effort to meet people and be around people in daily life. most of my communications with friends and family, and work people, are digitally mediated... which is *not* my preference, but more like circumstantial/structurally instantiated. so it's f*ing hard to make changes or set up new routines etc but omg, i was around people yesterday - spontaneously - and then around people today in bigger doses than usual (our dept had its first in-person public seminar after 2 years...) and it FELT SO GOOD HAHAHAHA
// i don't have a ~deep~ conceptual understanding of how and why i isolate (and withdraw), i don't know much about the enneagram honestly, but i'm seriously making moves lately to "come out of hiding" in my real life and bring more of myself to people and opportunities. i don't want life to pass me by because i was waiting for the conditions to be right or for the perfect understanding of different areas of life and why the opportunities that exist are the ones that we have to "hit me" eventl. done w that... i'm *doing* things and hope i keep it up :)
Pretty sure I am 3w2. 316 is my tritype
edit: nvm
639 so/sp
Balanced 6, probably.
1 Sx , 2 Sx also look like 8Quote:

9w1 I think...
The world has seen me as 4 the most but I don't really see how I have their internal problems. My fears and fixations seem much more 9 related. I superficially come off as a 4 because I'm a faggy artist- but it seems really superficial to be that for me. 9s typically have issues with minimizing problems, and professionals and experts have told me that before. "You're being too carefree about this, take it more seriously!" etc.
I got 9 last time I checked, which seems to be most common amongst introverts and perhaps IFs most of all.
9..probs wing 8.
Still a 9, the greatest type ever.
7 balanced
Why?Quote:
