Ever wondered what each Enneagram type would be like as a dog? Here's a quick breakdown of their type ! 🐕

Want to dive deeper into each type? Check them out here : One / Two / Three Four / Five / Six Seven / Eight / Nine

ღ symbol means less common and the existence is debatable

However, just because an mbti isn't listed under a specific enneagram subtype, doesn't mean the combination is impossible. Correlations are extrmely subjective depending on which author you trust. For example, Naranjo's description of the subtypes is quite specific with little room for ambiguity, so only a few mbti types fit.

if you are curious if a certain correlation exists, it is better to evaulate the mbti and enneagram type separately

I will list the correlations based on Naranjo's description. This is my take so it may be inaccurate

I don't recommend typing by correlation but knowing the patterns is helpful

*ೃ༄Misconceptions of combos.ೃ࿐

Sp1 mbti archetype is ISTJ/ISFJ: Sp1 pretty much is an archetypical Te user if you read the book. Dismissing feelings, priotizing stabiltiy, efficiency, objectivity, etc. People think Sp1 is ISTJ purely because of stereotypes of being a less aggressive workaholic.

So6 archetype is ISTJ: one of the biggest misconceptions that I used to believe in was that So6 archetype was ISTJ. I now realized that it was purely based on stereotypes. On the surface, a type who can become dogmatic and attaches to a set of beliefs to feel secure seems like Si-Te, but this type is heavily abstract, even disconnected from its body and sensations (archetypically). This often makes So6 get mistyped as So5s.

e5 archetype is INTP. Actually, e5s have a more abstract view of the world, unlike 6s who view the world through objectivity and logical consistency. e5s embody the irrational functon IN/Ni more, and their Se inferior lies in the desire to not live in the present fully and withdraw from the physical world.

Sp7 archetype is ESTP: I actually don't believe in the existence of Se dom e7. Now, people will chew me out for being a hyper-strict correlationist, but the thing is, the core trait of the e7 is lacking in realism and not being grounded to reality, which contradicts Se, a function that percieves reality as it is. All the types suffer from the need to fantasize and seek a world that is not the current reality, to formulate plans and ideals to escape pain and frustrations. While Sp7 certainly is a more anti-idealistic and dry type, it still is an Ne dom, as it actively seeks for opportunities and possibilities.

So7 archetype is ENFP: when we think of a type that is highly agreeable, altrusitic, and witty, we think of IEE ENFP, but the truth is, the So7 is highly disconnected from their own feelings and is a much more rational type, which fits ENTP and Fi PoLR than ENFP.

Sp9 archetype is ISTP: overall, the Sp9 behavior aligns more with Si than Ti. We like to think that ISTJ is not the archetype because ISTJs = hardworking and dutiful, while the Sp9 is often depicted as being lazy. The Sp9's neurosis surrounds being attached to comfort, routines, lifestyle, and being hesitant with too much change (hence psychological inertia), which fits much better with Si than Ti,

*ೃ༄Combinations that are often mistyped (though not always impossible.ೃ࿐

ENTJ e8 -> ENTJ Sx1, ENTJ So3, ENTJ Sx6

Explanation: Most of the "ENTJs want to control the environment" aligns more with Sx1's desire to reform imperfection than the lust of the e8. e8s are also generally less inquisitve and care less about symbolism, abstractionism, etc, which makes aux Ni. a type difficult to be e8.

Examples: Stalin (ENTJ Sp8 -> Sx6), Napoleon (ENTJ So8 -> So3), Gordon Ramsey (ESTJ Sx8 -> Sx1)

IxFP e1 -> IxFP Sp4 (or Sx4)

Explanation: Sp4s often feel the need to aim for righteousness and perfectionism. They may feel a need to be morally good, but lack the anger sin that makes up the e1

Examples: Zuko (ISFP Sp1 -> Sx4), Elsa (INFJ Sp1 -> Sp4)

ExTJ Sx3 -> ExFx Sx2

Explanation: Sx3 is generally an archetypical Fe user. I've seen many people who are interested in one-on-one relationships and also desire success to be typed as Sx3. Sx3 is a very chamelonic, accomodating, and actively insecure type, which often goes against these characters

Examples: Regina George (ESTJ Sx3 -> ESFJ So2), Mother Gothel (ESTJ Sx3 -> ESFJ Sx2)

ExFP e3 -> ExFP Sx4, Sx8, or Sx2

Explanation: ambitious ExFPs are often typed as this. I will say, vanity usually goes against Fi as a whole as vanity is a disconnection with one's true identity and emotions.

Examples: Syndrome (ENFP So3 -> Sx4), Naruto (ESFP So3 -> Sx8), Achilles (song of achilles) (ESFP Sx3 -> So8)

INTJ e4 -> INTJ Sx5

Explanation: Sx5 is a much more emotional subtype than regular 5s, so INTJs who believe they are more in tune with their emotions often type themselves as this. I'd say most of the time the e4 is a higher feeler mbti type

EnxP So6 -> ENxP So7

Explanation: this is what happens when you type instinctual variant separately from the enneagram type. So6 is a very rigid, rule-oriented, type, contradictory to Ne doms. Oftentimes Ne doms who are percieved as being more responsible are typed as this. I believe these types are social 7s, who act anti indulgent but are still gluttons

Examples: Peter Parker (ENFP So6 -> So7), Phoniex Wright (ENTP So6 -> So7)

ISTP Sp8 -> ISTP Sx6 or ISFP Sx4

Explanation: Just because someone is a quiet badass, doesn't mean they are a ISTP Sp8. This combination is possible, in my opinion, but often mistyped

Examples: Darth Maul (ISTP Sp8 -> ISFP Sx4), Megara (ISTP 8w9 -> Sx6)

ExFP So8 -> xxFP Sx4/Sx2

Explanation: a lot of the passionate, strong, and direct ExFP characters get typed as 8s due do their assertive nature. However, it is important to evaluate the character's core desires before typing based on behaviors. ESFP 8 is obviously a very common type, but it is often mistyped too.

Hi there, sweetie! I really hope that you like this a lot!

Victor Von Doom's MBTI Type, Big Three, Enneagram Type and Moral Alignment Type

MBTI Type: ENTJ [The Commander]

As ENTJs, Commanders are talkative, high energy, and thrive around people. They seek action and tend to involve themselves in events. They prefer not to spend too much time alone.

They focus more on the big picture than on tiny details—they’re interested in how everything connects together and trust their internal thought process more than they trust past experience.

ENTJs use logic rather than emotion in decision making. They tend to follow what makes sense, rather than what feels right.

They are structured, organized, like to plan ahead and know what’s going to happen. They appreciate rules, processes, and schedules.

Big Three: Virgo Sun, Scorpio Moon and Gemini Rising

Virgo Sun: Governed by communication planet Mercury, Virgos are the thinkers of the zodiac. Virgos process information with diligence and use facts to solve problems. 

Scorpio Moon: Scorpio Moons are known for their brooding nature that exudes passion. Once you win them over, they are loyal and unconditional in matters of love.

Gemini Rising: Gemini risings are quick-witted and fast communicators, always looking for unique ways to express themselves. 

Enneagram Type: 3w4 [The Expert]

Basic Fear: Enneagram type threes with a four wing are afraid of failure. They tend to throw themselves into their careers and do anything it takes to succeed.

Basic Desire: Their most basic desire is to succeed and feel valued. They may show this by seeking validation of their hard work and successes.

Experts defend themselves by adapting or changing their personalities to fit their environment. This makes them great communicators, but may also lead them to being misunderstood or feeling fraudulent.  

Moral Alignment Type: Neutral Evil [The Malevolent]

These characters are strictly self-serving, doing whatever suits their needs without any regard for order or chaos.

Alicia Masters' MBTI Type, Big Three and Enneagram Type

MBTI Type: ENFJ [The Protagonist]

ENFJs are high-energy people who dislike spending too much time alone. They take initiative and tend to talk more than they listen.

They usually trust their intuition and focus on the future. They are good at analyzing complex ideas. 

Protagonists are motivated by feelings and values. They work to avoid conflict and are very diplomatic.

They like to make lists and schedules, preferring to follow a plan. They are hard-working and responsible.

Big Three: Cancer Sun, Libra Moon and Taurus Rising

Cancer Sun: Ruled by the Moon, Cancers are emotionally mature, intuitive, sensitive, and artistic. They are guided by their tender, loving, and protective hearts.

Libra Moon: Moon in Libra is makes for a relationship-oriented individual. They may base their decisions upon how they are viewed by others. 

Taurus Rising: Those with Taurus risings exude grace and sophistication, and handle business with a sweet disposition.

Enneagram Type: 2w1 [The Companion]

Basic Fear: Enneagram type two-wing-ones fear being unwanted by those they love. They tend to take on a caretaker role to serve others and avoid feelings of insecurity.

Basic Desire: They desire love and acceptance above all else. They are service-oriented and humble, seeking to help better the lives of those in their community.

It’s currently 1:16 in the morning and I had a moment of clarity. The gods have spoken. Let us rejoice (that’s a joke please don’t take it seriously). Also I haven’t posted a lot of enneagram stuff on here, so I thought I should probably do that. Anyways hope you all enjoy!

Social 2 "Ambition"

The Social 2 looks for love in the search for vocation and extra personal relationships. They go about this through giving help through others usually inserting themselves as helpful figures to others. While they may not pursuit leadership positions they often find themselves in them due to their will and ambitious nature. Often this subtype struggles with pride due to the self centered nature of the 2. Inserting themselves in conflict and positions as mediator of sorts. At heart the SO2 looks to help others however they can come off as fake due their hyper positive and well intentioned nature not showing much of their true emotional depth. A healthy SO2 will learn to take others real needs into consideration while an unhealthy SO2 will lean more on their self centered side and presume what others really need. The SO2 can look like an E1 (helpful and moral nature).

Characters: Daenerys Targaryen, Luke Castellan, Hashirma Senju, Maxima, Kiki, Peter Pevensie, Wonder Woman and Baymax

Self Preservation 2 "Privilege"

As the counter type of the enneagram 2 they reject the notion of looking for love. Instead they want to receive it and be taken care of. Unlike the other twos while warm and calm they have a more practical approach to things. Unlike the other twos who are lead by the idealism of love the SP2 is more connected with the reality of love. While still a care taker at heart they approach care taking in a more practical approach. Usually true helpful life style choices for others. Unhealthy SP2 may overindulge in the other persons worries and give too much of themselves for the other person. Healthy SP2 on the other hand understand that in order to love they have to partake in self care and healthy boundaries. The SP2 can look like a 6 (due to their more practical approach) and 9 ( due to their interest in fusion with others).

Characters: Snow White, Cedric Diggory, Cassie Howard, Marge Simpson, Starfire, Beck, Anna and Cher Horowitz.

Sexual 2 "Seduction"

The SX2 looks for true love in an interpersonal relationship. This subtype will look to form the ideal relationship with another subject. They will use attraction to get the object of desires attention. Doing so ensures to the SX2 that attraction (and therefore love) is obtained. This subtype often struggles with the idea of not being in a relationship or having that connection with another. From all the E2 they are the one to struggle the most with hedonism (prioritizing once pleasure) due to their need for attraction. Unhealthy SX2 will hyper focus on the object of attraction needs and will be prone to emotional outburst if they feel neglected. A healthy SX2 learns to balance their needs and their own value. The SX2 can look like an E8 ( confident and flirty) as well as an E7 ( relaxed and fun) but mostly they are the easiest of 2s to type.

“You must first have a lot of patience to learn to have patience.” — Stanislaw Jerzy Lec

Akito is an incredibly fascinating and well-written character. I think one of the things that makes her hard to analyze is that we see her at her most unhealthy through most of the series. It's really only at the end, after she's accepted Tohru's friendship, that we see who she really might be under all her trauma.

Akito Sohma's Enneagram

Wound: Akito lost her father at a young age, and her mother rejected her. She was told from the very beginning that she was born to be loved, and was put in a position of great power (and thus responsibility) without understanding how to wield that power responsibly. She wasn't really parented, and was at the center of a power struggle between the part of the family that remained loyal to her father (and thus her) and the part of the family that believed her mother should be in charge. Then, she lost her bond with Kureno.

Wounding message: Being the God is what makes you special and guarantees you love, not being yourself.

Core desire: To be loved

Core fear: Abandonment, loss of bonds/love

Defense mechanism: stoke fear in others and make them dependent on her

Strengths: willingness to grow, humility (at the end), kindness (per Shiki in Another)

Challenges: domineering, manipulative, threatening, abusive, moody, needy, dependent on reassurance, possessive

When healthy: humble, kind, diligent, conscientious, accepting of responsibility, tolerant of difference

When unhealthy: cruel, intimidating, controlling, vindictive, demanding, possessive

Here's what connects when I go back to the Enneagram post:

Wound: could be 2, 4, 5, 7, or 9

Wounding message: could be 2, 3, 7, or 8

Core desire: could be 2, 3, 4, or 9

Core fear: 2, 8, or 9

Defense mechanism: 2, 5, or 8

Strengths: We don't see many of Akito's strengths, only hearing about them in Another, but I saw some connections with 2.

Challenges: 2, 4, or 8

When healthy: 2, 3, or 8

When unhealthy: 1, 2, or 4

It's surprising at first that Akito connects most strongly with 2, since we rarely see her treat others with kindness, but on closer inspection (and when letting go of common misconceptions), it actually fits her quite well.

Akito has an obsessive need to be loved and needed. As an Enneagram 2, she goes to 8 when she's unhealthy (which is most of the series), and 4 when she's healthy (which is only at the very end and in Another). It's no wonder she's so aggressive, demanding, and possessive through the series - that's very typical for unhealthy Twos!

Twos are in the Heart center, and they tend to repress their sadness and shame. According to Personality Path, Twos tend to have a narrow and explosive expression of anger when they feel undervalued or unappreciated - something we see quite often in Akito.

Wing

Twos will tend to lean more towards some aspects of Ones or Threes.

The Enneagram Institute refers to 2w1s as "The Servant," and 2w3s as "The Hostess." That doesn't provide a ton of clarity on Akito for me, so let's look at another source.

Truity describes the two wings like this:

2w1: Enneagram Two wing One types are Twos who share many of the same traits as the Type One Perfectionist. These Twos may appear more quiet, studious and reserved. This type strives to serve others and can struggle with criticism. 2w3: The 2w3 type is a Two who shares several of the same characteristics as the Type Three. They tend to be more sociable and ambitious than other Type Twos. They tend to be strong communicators and focus on building deep relationships. They can also be competitive and self-critical like a Type Three.

I'm still not feeling very certain about this, but I think Akito sounds slightly more like a 2w1 than a 2w3.

Subtype

Again, this is challenging to determine for Akito. Here's how Enneagram Explained describes the three subtypes of Two:

SP 2s are the Countertype of type 2 as they react in an opposite way with their vice (pride). They are more timid in connecting with others; less prone to being helpers/givers. They tend to appear childish or childlike in order to be taken care of. SX 2s focus on charming and attracting strong intimate relationships. They are a bit more passionate and emotional than the other type 2s and often try to be physically appealing to others. SO 2s focus on charming groups and communities and being influential within these groups. They tend to be generous and offer support, advice, and help in order to be seen as needed by the group.

I see aspects of Akito in all three of these, but maybe most strongly in SP.

Tritype

I think it's pretty clear that Akito's Tritype would include both 2 and 8, but her Head type is a little harder to figure (much like Tohru). I think the 2-5-8 Tritype (The Strategist) is the best fit, as described on Katherine Fauvre's website:

If you are a 258, you are caring, knowledgeable and protective. You want to be helpful, wise, and straightforward. You can take charge, be direct, and to the point but prefer to be relational. You are naturally empathetic and focused on people but need time on your own to follow your own pursuits undisturbed. You are both introverted and extroverted. Sometimes, you can be direct, move towards others, and ‘over' give or pull away to be alone and recharge. This can be confusing to others.

I'm not very certain about this, though, so I encourage you to look through the different tritypes!

Akito Sohma's MBTI

E vs. I: I see Akito as strongly I.

S vs. N: I feel least confident about this, but am leaning toward S.

T vs. F: I suspect Akito is F.

J vs. P: Akito strikes me as strongly J.

Type Dynamics: Without working out what an ISFJ's type dynamics are (since that's my most likely guess for Akito), I see Akito's Type Dynamics as Si Fe Ti Ne.

Si: Akito craves predictability and uses sensory data about the past to inform her actions in the present. I think this is why she struggles so much with change (and why it's so powerful when she embraces it!).

Fe: Akito externalizes her feelings. She wants the outside world to align with her values and struggles when it doesn't.

Ti: Akito can be a bit black-and-white, and seems to have an internal logic that is consistent, even if it's hard to explain or doesn't make sense to most people.

Ne: Akito can sometimes catastrophize the future (like at the second New Year, when she saw a similarity in Yuki's eyes that reminded her of Kureno when his curse broke, and she immediately hit him over the head with the vase). She externalizes these connections, which may not make sense to others.

This is actually the Type Dynamic of ISFJ! Woohoo!

Now, let's check the description for ISFJ:

ISFJ: Quiet, friendly, responsible, and conscientious. Committed and steady in meeting their obligations. Thorough, painstaking, and accurate. Loyal, considerate, notice and remember specifics about people who are important to them, concerned with how others feel. Strive to create an orderly and harmonious environment at work and at home.

It's hard, because we don't get to see a lot of Akito at her best, but this is more or less how I imagine her to be once the curse breaks. Also, "remember specifics about people who are important to them" is something we see Akito do quite often. ISFJs are also sometimes called "The Protector," or "The Defender." I'm not quite sure this is fitting for Akito, but maybe it aligns with her strong expression of Enneagram 8 ("The Challenger") through the series.

So, to summarize:

Enneagram: SP 2w1 (The Giver/The Servant)

Tritype: 2-5-8 (The Strategist)

MBTI: ISFJ (The Protector/The Defender)

To me, this summary describes someone who is capable of being kind and giving, but has a fighting side that can come out when they (or people they love...or ancient bonds) are threatened. They are diligent and hardworking, and their tendency to both withdraw and cling/dominate can be confusing. This description seems possible for Akito, though she's a very complex character and there's probably a lot more to dig into for her!

What do you think? Did I get it right or wrong? I'd love to hear your thoughts!
