8w9 or 9w8 sx

[Codie]

I can't figure the main e-type of a SLE. I could talk abit about her, but basically what ways can I discern 9w8 sx from 8w9? Is it nonsensical to consider 9 for a SLE? I dunno

E9 SLE sounds kinda weird. They tend to be 3, 6, 7, and 8 IME.

The relatively calm and peaceful EPs are usually E6 IME, rather than E9. E9 is a very introverted, non-intrusive type by nature and I have a hard time seeing any extrovert (much less SLE) being one.

She isnt a 6, might be in her tritype though.

I have been trying to find examples of this elusive SLE 9 but haven't found any yet. There is a girl on PerC who claims that she is ESTP 9 but I haven't talked to her to confirm it. Orienting by Se-Ti does seem to run contradictory to being type 9, so I'd expect this combination to be rather rare.

You might want to check the descriptions of 8 and 9 in these articles and see which one fits her better: Roles & Archetypes, Enneagram Types and Instincts

I hypothesize that every enneatype is represented in each sociotype, though some may be more common/likely. Perhaps consider 9 wing 8 for your friend. I've seen that in ILE to be sure. I don't know many SLEs well. 9 wing 8 combines two very different types, it's an interesting one.

Actually after reading up on 6w5, I think it's very possible it's her main type or atleast 2nd. 6 is a bit more low-key so I could of confused it with 9... especially because 8w"9" is first or second in her tritype.

Ozzy Osbourne = SLE 9w8

9w8s are sensors most of the time
