Oh, dearest one – one of the reasons you’re exactly like no one else on the planet who has your type is because you have a different Enneagram, in a different stage of internal development / maturity, who is running the show.

So, let’s say you have an ENFP who is moderately unhealthy in their Enneagram. Imagine all the different ENFPs you’d meet:

Type 1: I NEED TO BE PERFECT OR I’M BAD. *becomes meticulous in Si*

Type 2: I just want to be loved. Why don’t people love me? =( *acts Fe*

Type 3: I NEED TO BE SEEN AS INTELLIGENT AND FOR PEOPLE TO ADMIRE ME!! *acts Fe, tries to impress everyone all the time, shows off, but it’s really draining to Fi and makes them unstable*

Type 4: No one knows how I feel. I’m super special. Leave me in my emo tears. *wallows aggressively in Fi much of the time, doesn’t show much Ne*

Type 5: I can’t do this. I’m not competent enough for this. HELP!! *aggressively tries to develop lower Te, with mixed results*

Type 6: OMG. THE WORLD IS OUT TO KILL ME. DON’T DO THAT, IT’S STUPID. DON’T TRUST THEM, THEY’RE UP TO SOMETHING. *basically doesn’t act much like a Ne-dom idealist / people-lover / cheerleader for the world because it’s all going to hell very shortly, you know*

Type 7: *acts like all the stereotypes for the ENFP* WEE! Life is fun! OOH, SHINY! *abandons everything for the Next Big Excitement* *moves to a foreign country without any planning, coz they can’t miss this!*

Type 8: You are not the boss of me. You wanna fight, punk? *has more of a Se-ish, confrontational or aggressive attitude, because NO ONE CONTROLS ME, but sucks at anything sensory so – epic fail!*

Type 9: Can’t we all just get along? I can’t stand feeling upset whenever you turn into an idiot! *aggressively plays a Fe-esque peacemaker role, but more often due to Fi just – disappears and/or refuses to talk to disruptive people*

Now, imagine that variation on every single MBTI type. In fact, remember that you can be a 6w7 for example, which changes your motives, fears, and behaviors even more – and each person has a Head, Heart, and Body triad (Head - 5,6,7; Heart - 2,3,4, Body - 1,8,9) – which means one of each, which in turn means there’s almost endless variations, so an ENFP 6w7 4w3 1w9 (moi) is going to think, act, and be completely and utterly different from an ENFP 7w8 3w2 9w1 (or for short - 7/3/9). And don’t forget that each Enneagram has 3 levels (Unhealthy - which manifests in THESE behaviors, Semi-Healthy - which are THOSE traits, and Healthy - which is the type “chilled” to a sane state) and you could be anywhere within any one of those levels, at any time – plus, in times of stress, you act more like whatever Enneagram you “integrate toward” (ie, stressed 5′s can act like erratic 7′s). So. You can see the complexity, yeah?

And no, I’m not theorizing on endless variations. But you get the point, yes? This is how people think “But I can’t be that type, I don’t ACT like one!”

Oh yeah? How does that type, with your Enneagram configuration, your stress levels, and your health level within the Enneagram… act? ;)

This advice also applies to most things on tumblr and in life. You may in fact interpret it as “Em asks, ‘can you fucking not’.”

Wheaton’s rule: Don’t be a dick

Self-explanatory. If you choose to ignore this one, then that’s on you and you are awful.

Do a little research first.

If you’re asking a factual question (ie, what is an ESTJ) then Google it first. If you’re still confused you can ask for clarification but at least put the 30 seconds it takes to Google it and read the first paragraph on the first link.

If you plan on calling someone out or disagreeing with them on something like a typing or how a function works, have an argument.

I can’t count the number of times I’ve seen a discussion like this.

Gallant: I think Character is an XXXX.

Goofus*: NO THEY ARE A YYYY, FOR FUCK’S SAKE.

Gallant: I disagree. They show Xe function when they do that thing, and in the episode where stuff happens, they fall into a Zi grip.

Goofus: oh haha I don’t know that much about MBTI.

If you can’t stand for your arguments and will crumble the second someone disagrees back at you, don’t make them. You are wasting everyone’s time, and yes, I come to tumblr to waste time, but I want to waste it on things I enjoy and your pointless ass isn’t one of them.

Also, be able to back your argument up in a way other people understand. If others don’t understand you, the burden of proof is on you. Do not say that it’s because they’re stupid. You might just be terrible at explaining.

Note: sometimes Goofus will, instead of backing down, go for the ad hominem (”YOU OBVIOUSLY KNOW NOTHING YOU IDIOT.” This is even more of a waste of time because Goofus has done nothing to actually further their argument, and is now being a dick, so that’s two guidelines broken. Goofus should delete their account and think about how much they suck. Goofus will not do this, because they are garbage.

 Limit rate my squad, compatibility, scenario, and highly specific aesthetic asks to people who have explicitly said they will do them.

I get the desire for highly specific aesthetics, kind of (ISTJ Libra-Pizza Dough Rising Gryffinpuff I-Used-to-Bullseye-Wampuses-in-my-T-16 5w4-4w5-9w1 so/sp House Stark Year of the Unicorn Light of My Life Fire of My Loins Lavabender Amity Dressing on the Side) but they’re a lot of work and only really apply to you, so maybe do it yourself?

Rate my squad/compatibility come from an understandable place of “will my friendships/relationships work?” but here’s the deal, no one knows, it’s on you (and your friends/SO) to make it work. Which is honestly better.

As for scenarios - I don’t know, interact with people? Or alternately read/watch something that features those characters. You’re basically saying “Write me this weird archetypal fanfiction” which is not a request you should make unless someone is openly soliciting ideas for archetypal fanfiction. Let them write the fanfiction they choose, damn.

Check the tags.

If they say ‘sarcasm’ or ‘not serious’ or ‘jokes’ or something to that effect, don’t take it seriously.

If it’s genuinely offensive to you in some way (and that’s certainly possible: plenty of hacks hide really shitty views behind a thin veneer of “edgy” “satire”), I’d still recommend messaging/asking the person rather than freaking the fuck out. But as a rule I haven’t seen much of that on mbti-centric posts. I have seen a lot of people taking joke posts seriously.

The introvert and intuitive biases are bad and you should feel bad.

Self-explanatory. Both introverts and extroverts, intuitives and sensors, have certain advantages and disadvantages. The world is hard. The night is dark and full of terrors. Deal with your problems like adults.**

*For those of you unfamiliar with Goofus and Gallant it’s from a children’s magazine called Highlights which was my jam back in the day.

Te: Accuracy

Ti: Precision

Ne: Divergent

Ni: Convergent

Se: Observation

Si: Retrospection

Fe: Empathy

Fi: Sympathy

1. A big portion of the best magicians and illusionists who have ever lived have been Se-doms or Se-auxs.

No other function is so acutely attuned with its surroundings than Se. This is crucial when performing magic tricks. A Se-user can learn to micromanage the physical world in the most amazing of ways, knowing how to bend and twist the reality for others using concrete methods. If there’s someone who knows how to use their body and physical preciseness to entertain others, it’s high Se-users.

2. Not enough? What about the possibly ballsiest dreamer of all time being a dominant Se-user?

Meet James Kingston, an ESTP visionary who bends the reality of what people perceive as possible. He sees a skyscraper, he doesn’t go in and take the elevator. He sees it as a challenge and climbs it. Literally. Only a few other individuals than Se-dominants who have developed, practiced and evolved their Se with ambition, passion and patience could achieve such a close and concrete understanding of physics, one’s own body and its capabilities. (TRIGGER WARNING: VIDEO CONTAINS EXTREME HEIGHTS FROM POV CAMERA)

3. No? Well what about the most technically advanced musicians?

Se is an excellent tool for all sensory hobbies that require physical preciseness. Playing the violin, playing the guitar, singing, all require sharp senses and awareness of small changes in one’s body and position, movement and such, combined with being in tune with the changes in the pitch and sound of the music. Especially more challenging instruments such as the violin require a strong kinesthetic memory to keep the quality and pitch of the sound consistent. This is a side of Se many don’t even think about, dominant Se is so often just paired with extreme sports and there is a false belief that Se-users have no patience to make the most of their strong understanding of the physical and sensory dimensions of the world. This is not true, a high position Se-user can be just as patient and ambitious as the rest of us. If anything, they can spend hours upon hours embedded in the world of beautiful sensory experiences such as creating music.

4. Still not convinced Se is freaking awesome? What about Se enabling hyper realistic art because it notices all those little teeny tiny things that, when summed up, make it look so real? 

High Se-users are often artistically talented (ISFP’s are called the artists for a reason) but if I had to pick one that I mostly associate with Se, it would be this. Se grasps these things naturally, it knows how to make something look like the Se-user wants it to, what to change in their surroundings to create different outcomes. Se is more than saying “I see and smell that flower”, Se says “I see and smell that flower and know 101 ways to use that flower and replicate the flower”.

The tables below present the relationships between MBTI and other personality typologies.

The percentages are row percentages (e.g. 7.8% of all INTJ participants has Enneagram type 1w9).

Responses with “I don’t know/Unsure” selected were excluded from the analysis of each of the two typology pairing.

The light grey numbers in the first column indicate the number of participants who are those individual types. A number of 100 or more indicates higher data validity, while a lower number indicates that the data for that row may not be representative of the population.

p-values are noted at the top right corner of each table. Low p-value (<0.01) indicates high correlation, moderate p-value (0.01-0.05) indicates moderate correlations, high p-value (>0.05) indicates no correlation. [Note: High correlations mean that trends did not occur by chance]

MBTI Correlations

MBTI x Enneagram trends

Ti-dom (IxTP) tend to be type 5

Si-dom (ISxJ) tend to be type 6

Ne-dom and Se-dom (ExxP) tend to be type 7

Fe-dom (ExFJ) tend to be type 2

Te-dom (ExTJ) tend to be type 8 (although, there’s not enough data to draw conclusions on ESTJs)

Fi-dom (IxFP) are most commonly 4w5 and 9w1

INFx tend to be type 4

INTx tend to be type 5

MBTI x Enneagram analysis

Master Personality Typology Survey

I made a survey for multiple popular personality tests (e.g. MBTI, enneagram, Big5, Hogwarts Houses), so I can analyze the correlations. Please fill it in and reblog as much as you can.

Survey link

Updates: The deadline is extended until the end of Feb. I decided to get a paid account anyway since I can’t get enough responses for the analysis to be useful in the short time frame the trial account permits. We need more people of every type, especially sensors and extraverts. If you have friends of these types, send the survey their way :D

Are you interested in MBTI?

Do you already know your type?

Are you an introvert?

Are you interested in talking to fellow-minded?

Even if you answered ‘yes’ to just one of the we want to talk to you. We have an Introvert Safe Haven just for you (and us). If you’re interested please send me a message (not anon) and I will provide you with a link! :D
