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

xNFPs are some of the most popular types of people within this community, but the two types are often misunderstood. Primarily, INFPs are seen as “emotional crybabies” and ENFPs are seen as “overly-excited manic pixie girls”. In this post, I will mainly summarise the primary functions of both mbti types and also debunk misconceptions and stereotypes. Since my previous post became quite popular, I will debunk <all> function combinations in MBTI, and if I have time I will also go over the jungian combinations like IN(IF) (Ni-Fi, aka ISFP in loop), ET(EN) (Te-Ne), etc.

I am not sticking 100% to Jung’s own interpretations and I included some modern MBTI interpretations. I have not fully read Jung’s works and when I have, I will make posts talking about the types in detail (the book is like 988 pages, I ain’t reading all of that).

*ೃ༄Introverted Feeling*ೃ༄

Fi: Introverted feeling is a function focused primarily on subjective viewpoints in terms of emotions. Opposite to Te, which focuses on objectivity and the truth outside of their own viewpoints, Fi is determined to understand their personal perception of everything. Fi builds a personal, internal moral compass, one that does not necessarily align with external social values or group harmony. Fi is a judging function (in jungian), meaning it filters experiences through a personal lens of what feels right or wrong, good or bad, beautiful or ugly. Like Ti, which values internal logical consistency, Fi values internal moral consistency and makes decisions based on if the action aligns with their values and beliefs.

How it manifests: It is still a cognitive function related to thinking. Contrary to misconceptions, Fi is often not the “whiny emotionally expressive crybaby”. Fi, as described by Jung, is oftentimes very emotionally distant and has a hard time expressing their feelings. Fi is a rational type in jungian, meaning that the focus is on analyzing subjective values rather than <experiencing> said feelings. Generally, Fi users excel at empathizing on an individual and deep level, rather than a broad social one. Fi prioritizes individuality more than collectivism, making them rebels when their integrity is questioned. Fi usually makes a person who is oftentimes very sensitive to being misunderstood or being hurt. Introspective, deep, and philosophical, high Fi users are often very good at understanding who they are outside of societal expectations and norms.

Behaviors that can exist due to dominant Fi:

Reclusiveness, quietness, refusal to express and explain their feelings. Finds it hard to open up

Fells things deeply. Sentimental, poetic, and introspective. As a great understanding of why they feel a certain way

May appear stoic and unassuming on the outside. However, they have an intense inner emotional life

Can be self-oriented and biased when making decisions, can be stubborn at times and dogmatic with their viewpoints

Has a love for abstraction of emotions: ideas such as love, patronism, passion, loyalty, and pain are appealing

Attached to internal moral code. Indifference to socially accepted morals  / ethics

Dedicated to finding their true self and personal identity. Trusts their own intuition and conscience

*ೃ༄Extroverted Intuition*ೃ༄

Ne: Extroverted feeling is a function that values possibilities, abstract patterns, and exploration. Ne craves novelty and open-endness, neglecting the focus on reality or the current state of the world. Ne is a very scatterbrained function: it jumps from idea to idea, lacking focus on any particular idea. Ne is good at spotting hidden connections and spotting trends between abstract ideas. Overall, Ne is the function that generates “what ifs” by connecting dots. It takes one idea/information and generates dozens of ideas/concepts, like a funnel. Ne has a frustration against reality, wanting to break boundaries and seek things that are outside of their current capacities and circumstances. Hating the past and the present, Ne constantly dreams of a future that is not grounded. Ne is very opportunistic: it is a type that has an eye on potential ways the future can enroll.

How it manifests: Ne’s manifestation in behavior can be erratic. Oftentimes, people associate Ne dominants to be sporadic, scatter-brained, and talkative. This is not always true. But what is true is that this is not a very practical type. Ne users are not focused on “seeing the existing stable situation”, as Jung has said, but rather focused on the future, possibilities, and what could happen. Because Ne users are not rational types (leading with F or T), they are highly impractical, oftentimes excited for the future. The most visible manifestation of Ne is the habit of escapism aka. consistently making plans to escape reality. The other is having a dislike towards routines. What I mean is that Ne goes against Si, which tends to favor routines, predictability, and nostalgia. Ne constantly seeks for the new and novel. Adding onto the hatred for routines, Ne also hates restriction. Ne oftentimes makes a very adventurous person, interested in exploration and disliking those who are not open to such ideas.

Behaviors that can exist due to dominant Ne:

Oftentimes has a sanguine attitude towards life. Easily excited for the future, but oftentimes drops ideas coldly after feeling a burning passion towards it. Lacks the ability to commit to any particular idea or goal

Has issues with being concise or explaining their ideas in a concise way. Scatterbrained and random, that is their thinking style. A trivial habit is the tendency to write walls of text without breaking them into concise paragraphs that sort based on main ideas. 

Similar to above, Ne users do not know the difference between important and unimportant ideas. Likes the idea of all possibilities being open

Hates rules, regulation, and restriction

Has a liberal look towards life (not always political). Likes change and dislikes people who are attached to traditions and practicality

Curious, adventurous, and excited for what life can be like. Dreamy, out of touch, and dislikes the current reality

Most common ENFP enneagram = Sexual 7 , self preservation 2. Wings include 2w3, 2w1, 7w6, 7w8

Most common ENFP trifixes = 479, 279, 478, 278

Social 4 "Shame"

The social 4 looks to create connection with others through the exploration melancholy and brokenness. Unlike the other 4s this subtype looks to share their depth with others. Imo they subvert allot of the traditional notions of the E4. They aren't as withdrawn as the SX and Sp subtypes. And whole they do maintain a level of difference within they still look to fulfill that need for emotional depth with others. A tendency that pops with the So4 is the need to create that social circle while struggling to remain their own self. This subtype tend to express their difference through being an outsider or extremely sophisticated with unique tastes. Usually among to attract others while maintaining their boundary of eccentricity. They are hard to mistake as any other type in my opinion however they can look like the stereotype of a 3w4 (due to being pretentiousness) or a 9.

Characters: Anna Karenina, Mark Jefferson, Blue Diamond, Diane Nyguen, Lisa, Anne of Green Gables, Jin Kazaa and Catherine Meyer.

The Self Preservation 4 "Tenacity"

The Sp4 finds it self trying to mitigate their envy due to being a counter type. Usually this 4 is not looking to be different but rather to have a different type of life. As the counter type of 4 they dont overexposes their melancholy and rage but rather they tend to keep it to themselves. This 4 tries to find a different path in the world without following tradition or social expectations. They are a bit more idealistic with their pursuits choosing lifestyles, style or professional life. This subtype can look like a 6 (due to their calm and environment oriented thinking).

Characters: Elio Perlman, Rose DeWitt Bukater, Eleven, Belle, Sebastian, Wicked Witch, Violet Harmon and Susana Kaysen.

The Sexual 4 "Hate"

Probably the most well known 4. This subtype is the most expressive and "aggressive" about their sense of uniqueness. They are highly interested in creating a relationship with another that fulfills that bond of difference and uniqueness. They tend to be the most expressive of their envy. To the sexual 4 the most important thing is not to be mediocre. By this I mean that the 4s see everything that doesn't have emotional and personal depth is beneath them. While many texts describe them as aggressive id say they are closer to passionate. The SX4 interest and frustration find depth within interpersonal relationships leads them to look like enneagram 8s.

how do you set boundaries with the world around you? (do you assert yourself, do you blend in, do you please others, etc etc)
