What is your enneagram type?

[Sumdumho]

The least scientific but ironically only aspect of typology of which I am certain of concerning my type. 1w9, 5w6, 3w2.

4’s winning, not surprised

Welcome to the internet lol

This test is very bad tbh.

I'm 5w6, 514 tritype, sp/sx

[Vex]

According to the QUEST (the Quick Enneagram Sorting Test) in The Wisdom of the Enneagram book I have, I could either be a 9 or a 4.

i'm 4w5, 6w5 or 1w2

[user123]

wow
you didn't really reinvent the wheel (:

Think the seeker Tritype, in any case

your a clear example of that tritype imo =)

I have an issue with the Enneagram similar to the one I have with Socionics, which is that none of the types seem to describe me particularly well. I usually score as a type 4, though, on Enneagram tests, and, unlike with the other types, I certainly don't mind being labeled as one.

[SGF]

6w5 (some ppl say I'm more w7) Sx alternates between prohic and counter-phobic depending on the situation.

Since I didn't see this test that's being currently referenced linked anywhere in the thread: https://www.truity.com/test/enneagram-personality-test

EDIT: Result screencaps in spoiler. But it puts me at 4w5 9w8 7w8.

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

[thegreenfaerie]

3rd one was probably 6. I think I’ve always had 4-5-6 as top 3, in that order. As stated, I did get 5 first on a couple though. 3 and 8 are usually the lowest scores. 9 and 1 are usually just about tied for my gut type.

[Northstar]

According to this test, 98% e8, 78% e5, 76% e3, 68% e7. Only 51% e9.

Tests are not reliable. I test 8w7 So all the time. There is no way I'm that, not enough energy for Se. High 5 score probably cus of NT.

[Number 9 large]

^ same. Its prolly cuz thats prolly the ideal macho masculine types society tries to mold us into

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.

Nice site.

Based on those, I'd say seven and eight most resonate with me.

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)

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.

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.

Why do I sound like a wife beater

SX-1

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.

[Lolita]

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.

[gone]

Dunno, maybe 5 balanced wings or 6w5, with 4 fix

[xerx]

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).

[ContractedCriminalboy]

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.

[rtifakt]

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.

8w9 Sei is pretty interesting, how does 8 show while having Se ignoring?

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.

(kind of a quick summary but whatever)

[spacious]

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

I definitely pick the Bubble sort for fear to crumble under goals of blue in the sky speaking cards and trampoline fencing My hardest dungeon.

The 11 element list is confusing with these performing algorithms. Red being last in the race is sad and damaging, because I was always a trainer of light. Oh wait, it was pink that was last. Come to think of it, I'm not sure what this video is about... skipping ahead. Quadratic, Linear, and Comparison are very weird categories, like a span of time or eons forking and twirling into chaotic lanes of starting. Performing badly when lists are small? But I always rose above mundane restrictions and dominated existence with "millions and millions of elements"!!

[QamsX]

Just 5 twos... and the other four are probably defunct members

[MidnightWilderness]

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.

[FreelancePoliceman]

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.

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.

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:

Not 6 behavior.

My supervisor, Stugg (an LIE), always tries to challenge me on my 4 behaviors...

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.

[Braingel]

I must say though: with how rare 8 is of a type, 8 being the second most voted type here, is a falsehood in actuality of its course. In reality, most people who view themselves such, are sexual 6's, and fewer may be sexual 4's. I also doubt that 4 is most common type on the forum.
