Lungs - 6w5 or 6w7

[ashlesha]

I self typed 6w5 for a long time because I'm a hard core introvert and kinda cerebral and cynical and not anything like a core 7, but since a few people have suggested otherwise I'm thinking I could have been relying too much on stereotypes. As far as motivations, my response to stress is less hunkering down & reading about my problems and more about activity, getting my mind off it, going to the bar. I'm distant and cool with people I don't know, but with close ones I can be sort of bubbly and a nervous babbler. What do you think?

6w5s and 5s have slower minds, but are more certain.
6w7s and 7s have faster minds, but are less certain.

[ashlesha]

I dunno about brain speed, but I'm very uncertain. And if I'm not uncertain, I can make myself so by thinking about it for a minute. Generally speaking. Except for the few ideals & things I hold onto to make sense of life. I thought this was the case for all 6s though.

A better description:
5s / 6w5s aim to learn before doing.
7s / 6w7s aim to learn while doing.

I get a 6w5 vibe from you personally. More certain than me and other 6w7s. However, that doesn't mean that you are certain in general compared to everyone as sixes are typically doubtful, but rather more certain than a 6w7.

The activity stuff you speak of seems very sx second to me that I can relate to. The desire to act impulsive once in a while in stark contrast to the need to preserve yourself most of the time due to being sp first.

9 out of question?

[ashlesha]

Yeah, I'm way too preoccupied with the negative to be a 9.

Your memes and tumblr posts all seem to have 5's contemplation behind it, you wing there rather than at the electric fuzzy 7 hopping from one opportunity to the next. You are not all nervous and excited at once, but deliberate and "knowing", trying to be adequate. The only time I considered a 7-wing was when you quit moderation since it wasn't fun anymore, or was the motivation different? Either way, it was more of a detail, your overall posts speak 5>7.

Perhaps you are mostly 6w5, with occasional 6w7. It may help balance your introversion and shake up your experiences a bit, adding some spice. Variety is the spice of life, right?

I don't know if it was ever really fun, though it had its perks. Mostly I just felt pressured to meet demands that I didn't actually care about one way or the other and didn't have an investment in. When I first became a mod, the forum membership was more composed of people I know, and I was more invested, read enough threads thoroughly enough to have a feel for which antagonisms were mutual and which were harassment, etc.

You have a point with tumblr posts. Looking at my own tumblr, I definitely see 5>7. Though I also see a good amount of Ni and things that aren't necessarily "me" but more what I admire/appreciate (I don't know if this matters for enneagram).

The first bit goes toward a 5 direction although it's mostly 6 of course. You gathered information instead of charging forward which is something 7,8,3, and 1 would rather do. Meeting demands also indicates 6w5, 6w7 cares a bit less and gets distracted around their watchful stance sometimes. Reading into it as investment preparation is veeery 5-wing, too. The 6 part manifests in your overall stance toward the people you knew.

You have and all these insightful quotes floating around. There is 5's intellectual depth and it's sophisticated, driven by what's right, that's why I suspect 1w9 or 1w2 in your tritype as well.

I definitely always thought 6w5
