    Default How do you feel about each enneagram type?

    1: I usually don't like 1s very much tbh. Especially "unhealthy 1s" - goddamn annoying self-righteous pricks. But even if they are balanced and healthy I will probably still clash with them, as they seem way too Fi for me. =/

    2: I like them okay, as long as they don't try to wipe my own ass for me. When not co-dependent they are hard to hate. Just helpful, unpretentious people. <3

    3: I hate them- but they are fun to hate. Sort of like entertaining comic book villains that I enjoy not liking. An enneagram 3 at the 1-health level is just really boring!

    4: I feel sorry for them because I know american society is kind of very anti-4. But still they are stereotypical over-sensitive pussies. They are fun to tease and to scapegoat your problems on. The type I'm 2nd most like, probably.

    5: Meh I am really neutral with them. Take it or leave them. They are in their head a lot or something, so what.

    6: Good type to have interesting conversations with, especially about politics and the power players of the world. I like them okay. If they get too cynical it can be a little problematic but I know how to disengage from them well.

    7: I am envious of them in a way, I wish I could be more like a healthy 7. It seems like the best type to be from my perspective. As they seem positive and extroverted and take life by the balls.

    8: I either really like them and respect them or they are overbearing and annoy me, probably not much middle-ground. They are pretty inspiring and likeable when moving towards their integration type tho.

    9: I like them more often then I don't, because it is my own type and it is like the most basic thing I guess to respect yourself/people like you most of all.

    If I was forced to rate them in order:

    Best: 9/7/6
    Middle: 2/4/5
    Worst: 8/3/1

    1. Neutral at best, annoying and oppressive at worst. Be around them is limiting.

    2. Their charm is hard not to like. I can't seem to relate or become close with most of them though and I sometimes I'm annoyed by the 2s that are too bubbly/goodie two-shoes.

    3. Their presence usually charges me with positive motivation which I like. Their cons don't seem bother me as much as other people it seems.

    4. Never boring and always unique, I like them.

    5. Neutral. Can be good to have around for convos though.

    6. Ehhh, slightly negative. I dislike 6s that are overly tense and paranoid.

    7. Mostly good due to there fun non-serious nature, but their behavior is usually too enigmatic for me to connect with them on an intimate level.

    8. I like the 8s that are more free-spirited/rebellious, but the 8s that I dislike, I tend to dislike very very strongly. I absolutely can't stand being challenged/criticized by other people at all.


    9. Neutral to somewhat positive.

    Good: 2, 3, 4, 7, 9
    Neutral: 5, 6
    Bad: 1, 8

    My best Enneagram match is 8. I cover this type's weak points well (and vice versa). Their tendencies to be blunt and possessive do not bother me, I appreciate their energy, and I find their inner vulnerability both relatable and endearing. If we meet, we tend to jump quite quickly into something and stay together, so I suppose the risk is mainly of becoming too emotionally dependent on each other at the expense of all else. Nonetheless, I tend not to be as attracted to other types in a romantic way, but generally have good rapport with 3s and 9s, as well as with 5s who are a dark horse I could possibly see myself ending up with. In contrast, I often clash with 1s and 4s. Both of these types are perfectionists, prone to elitism and snobbery, and can be far too quick to judge others. 6s I will often see the good in, but I quickly tire of their reactivity and they tend to mistrust me anyway. I have no strong opinion about 2s and 7s - we just don't notice/ignore each other.

    It is of course important to note here that someone's instinctual stacking makes a big difference to how compatible they will be with me. As a rule, the higher the Sx instinct is valued, the more likely it is that you and I will get along.

    Methinks you do not understand the sx instinct - it's attraction AND repulsion -- think of magnets always being charged, you can find that you are strongly repelled by someone just as easily as you might be drawn to someone/something else. It's not a constant desire to hump everything in sight, it's a selection mechanism, bringing you in to what most charges you in a positive way - driving you away from other things. So, you don't just automatically get along with everyone who shares this instinct.

    Tend to conflict with 3s and 9s, tend to get along with 8s and 7s. The rest are hit or miss.

    1s - I tend to get a lot of 1 friends. These guys get so beaten down by the world sometimes for having standards. I admire them for not giving up.

    2s - Tend to be very welcoming, which I appreciate. Tend to come across as self-confident and happy. I'd love to be a healthy two.

    3s - I tend to pity them a little. They just want to be acknowledged. Care about them on a personal level, that's all they really need. Can be very focused and effective people.

    4s - Can be like abused puppies, you want to help them but they lash out. I would say this is the type I've encountered the most conflicts with.

    5s- Neutral.

    6s- We're perfect bby. More seriously, they're easy to relate to and they put me at ease.

    7s- I find their method of avoidance really infuriating at times. Always up to something neat, though.

    8s- Once you realize you've got an 8 on your hands, their domineering nature isn't too bad to deal with. They tend to be really solid people and oh my god, if someone's treating you badly, call in an 8 because they will advocate and they will fuck that other guy's shit up.

    9s- Frustrate me sometimes, usually for similar reasons to 7s. Just... bring matters out in the open! Deal with things! Don't clam up!
