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

Do you think type is something we are born with or we grow into?

I personally think we are born with it, although psychologists say that a child’s mental processing and sense of identity is in flux until about seven years old, when their way of thinking becomes permanent. In that case, I suspect we “try on” other functions, before settling into the one that feels the most natural / easy for us (our true process).

 I wonder because as a child in some key aspects I was drastically different from how I am now.

That is not surprising. Most kids change around puberty as their brain gets hit with a bunch of new chemicals and their behaviors, anxieties, self-awareness, and even being self-conscious skyrocket.

 So I get confused on what is my natural wiring and what came from experiences. As a kid I was very extroverted, social, emotionally intense and expressive, sensitive, a curious and adventurous explorer.

So, in other words, an extravert and a feeler.

Now I'm reserved, routinized, want safety and need structure.

So in other words, probably still an extravert and a feeler, but someone who has had trauma, life disappointments, and realized they could die. 😉

Are you a core 6 by any chance?

What's the real me and consequentially my real type? It's very confusing.

I don’t think your mental processing changed; your behavior did, but you are probably still mentally working through things the same you did as a child, only with a mature adult’s brain (greater control, awareness of the risks involved, and of the Self).

I turned to tests when my own self analysis failed, I always test as xSTJ.

Is that because you are doubling down on Te answers to feel more secure, because that is the safer way of being? If so, EFP is likely. (I almost always test as an INTJ, even though I am not. Many feelers test as thinkers, without that process being theirs, because online tests… well, suck and are slanted in certain response directions.)

In a way it makes sense since I need structure to get things done in my professional life, and I'm more a planner than an improviser.

This could indicate Te somewhere and also possibly more 6, since 6s are constantly strategizing, planning, and creating mental maps with which to navigate reality (“I am going to do this… and then that… and this will happen…”).

But compared to xSTJs I see online in both fiction and in real life I'm really lacking.

Yes, because it’s not your type / does not match your highly emotional childhood version, which is your baseline type. You are a feeler. 😉

I have little to no concept of discipline, I'm moved by mental interest and excitement and mostly I don't really care about being productive unless I'm working on a project for work.

This is FiTe / EP behaviors.

It's super easy and fun to theorize on what's really happening behind the scenes in the world and with people <- casual Ne usage. I assume you’re quite good at it and it requires almost no mental effort as well?

but I wouldn't call myself a dreamer. I'm very aware of reality <- consistent with extraverts with Te. Facts are facts, even if we’d rather ignore them sometimes; they are still there. You can’t walk through walls. Things break if you drop them. Some things aren’t possible.

only I know there's a lot more to it than what meets the eye, and reality is stranger than fiction. Anything is possible, but not equally probable. <- this seems more like general intelligence than cognitive-related

I can make objective decisions based on facts, but I can never ignore my feelings, they are the key to my happiness, and that's my priority in life.

Again, yes, because you are a feeler who prioritizes your emotional state over the logic of the situation. Since your examples aren’t specifically Fe or Fi, this leaves you with two Ne-using choices: ENFP or ESFJ. ENFPs are freer spirits and not tethered intellectually to what they are used to; ESFJs can be disorganized, but their entire life mostly revolves around other people and how to remain connected to and aware of them. I suspect ENFP for you.

I absolutely LOVE typology since it's not only interesting but helps me understand others, but I'm sick and tired of not being certain of my type. It's like I'm a walking contradiction; I don't make sense.

Yes you do. Put gently, you just don’t know how to self-apply typology or be honest about yourself, which is not a character flaw; 99.9% of people cannot self-type accurately, because only after you know your type and start observing it in motion are you fully self-aware of what process you are doing. Extraverts are also less self-aware than many introverts, because their focus is on what is outside themselves rather than their own mental process.

It's like at certain point in my life I just flipped and became the opposite of how I was, albeit a distorted version of it.

No, you grew into your lower functions and brought them into your mental process, which is a normal progression of your type / adulthood. As a child, you were probably bouncing off the walls with Ne, then you developed Fi and became more internal, reserved, and self-aware; then Te came online, and showed you the facts of situations and grounded you. Someone probably told you at some point that not everything revolves around you constantly, so you stopped over-sharing and being loud. And so on. But mentally, you are just a more mature version of that highly extraverted, emotional kid.

I'm too emotionally driven and focused on fun to be an SJ, but too realistic to be an NP. Yet I know I'm Ne/Si.

I feel like you have an overly “NPs must be foolish” perspective, which doesn’t fit an extravert with Te. Yes, in the movies we are restless dreamers, but Te is… the facts are these. ENFPs can choose to ignore the facts or reframe them, but they can’t escape them. BTW, STJs can love their fun (after work) and NPs can be realistic about a situation, so if those are your only hangups…

Whenever I come to a conclusion about my type it only lasts for a couple days, nothing really fits perfectly and I always end up reconsidering it as I come across new information on type or perceive something new about me.

This is Ne-dom in action. It is literally one new piece of information shifts my entire perspective. That is its super power, it’s what makes it so cool, but it is also why ENPs have the worst trouble with self-typing; when your brain is used to constant expansion and “what if…?” possibilities, landing on one thing with certainty is hard. This is proof of ENP-ness. The “nothing ever fits entirely” could be 6, focusing on what doesn’t match you instead of what does (throwing out a mountain of evidence for a grain of sand).

I tried to self type by comparing myself to others, but I've never identified with anyone.

Fi, lol.

 I'm confident in my values so I know *who* I am

More Fi.

, but typology asks about *how* I am and that's my blindspot. I can't see my own pattern.

Most people can’t. You’re not alone in this.

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

Amanda Rollins' MBTI Type, Big Three, Enneagram Type and Moral Alignment Type

MBTI Type: ISFP [The Adventurer]

ISFP types need plenty of personal space. Though they enjoy building connections with people, they need alone time to think and recharge.

They are very observant, especially focusing on the details more than the overall view. They live in the present and tend to base decisions on what they can see right now.

Adventurers also prioritize emotion when making decisions. They prefer to follow what feels right.

They don’t like schedules, but instead prefer to keep their options open. They are adaptable, spontaneous, and like to challenge the need for strict rules.

Big Three: Virgo Sun, Gemini Moon and Capricorn 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. 

Gemini Moon: Ruled by winged messenger, Mercury, Gemini Moons enjoy discussing their complex feelings with others in order to gain a mindful and clear emotional perspective.

Capricorn Rising: Capricorn ascendants are known for their efforts and diligence when it comes to attaining success and prosperity. 

Enneagram Type: 6w7 [The Confidant]

Basic Fear: Six wing sevens’ fear losing their support system. This may be expressed through self-deprecating humor, in which they seek affirmation and assurance from other people.

Basic Desire: Their basic desire is to feel safe and supported. They show this by being loving and supportive to others. They honor their commitments and are very loyal to their friends.

Like other sixes, Confidants defend themselves by projecting their feelings, which may lead them to misunderstanding themselves and their relationships.

Moral Alignment Type: Chaotic Neutral [The Free Spirit]

Free from societal constraints, these characters prioritize their own freedom and make choices based on their whims.

Dominic "Sonny" Carisi's MBTI Type, Big Three, Enneagram Type and Moral Alignment Type

MBTI Type: INTP [The Logician]

INTPs prefer spending time alone so they can explore their rich inner world, and prolonged exposure to big groups of people can make them feel drained.

Their focus lies more on understanding the big picture than on noticing the tiny details. They want to know how things connect together, which gives them great intuition for solving complex problems.

As the most thinking-oriented of the types, they rely on logic rather than emotion as their main influence in decision making.

An INTP normally likes to keep their options open rather than locking themselves into a commitment. They’re flexible and spontaneous, which allows them to capitalize on opportunities that come available at the 11th hour.

Big Three: Taurus Sun, Virgo Moon and Cancer Rising

Taurus Sun: The Bull tends to be drawn to a creative, indulgent lifestyle — and we wouldn’t expect anything less from a Venus ruled sign. They're also thought to have a stubborn, loyal and grounded personality.

Virgo Moon: Virgo Moons use their calm nature to gain deep clarity on matters, filtering questions through their kind but reasonable lens.

Cancer Rising: Cancer ascendants tend to wear their hearts on their sleeves and take care of those they love.

Enneagram Type: 1w9 [The Optimist]

Basic Fear: One-wing-nine personality types have a basic fear of being unethical and corrupt. They avoid making morally wrong choices and can be objective and emotionally reserved.

Basic Desire: They have a basic desire to be morally good. They advocate for rights of others through teaching and discussion.

Optimists tend to respond to negativity by either redirecting their emotions or by avoiding them entirely. They may push themselves deeper into their work, their type one defense mechanism, or they may withdraw from it altogether, their type nine defense mechanism.

Moral Alignment Type: Chaotic Good [The Rebel]

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

how do you act during stress? (are you more positive, do you stay calm and try to be "objective," do you get emotional, etc etc)

how do you act in anger? do you experience it often?

how do you act in shame? do you experience it often?

how do you act in fear? do you experience it often?

how do you act in relation to others in conflict? (withdraw, go-with-the-flow, upfront, etc)

how do you "get what you want?" (more demanding + straightforward, believe it should be earned, focus on self, etc etc)

🩷⭐SX 7 BEING SILLY FOR 24/7⭐ 🩷

Social 6 "Duty"

The Social 6 is characterized by their desire to belong to a specific group of people. They look for these social and emotional systems in which they can find comfort and emotional safety. Usually perceive as a rule follower by many in the community. However I find this to partial true. The SO6 does look for a system of support however, they can also look for a support system that rebels or is against the status quo. The groups they look need to share similarities to them or desirable traits. This 6s can be very outgoing and sociable BUT make no mistake they are still a 6. Meaning that they still share a general skepticism/cynicism of others. They can look like 1s (very responsible) and imo 7s (due to their outgoing and social nature especially if they have a w7)

Characters: Susan Pevensie, Marie Moore, Percy Jackson, Leon S. Kennedy, Xiao Yu, Scott Summers, Kagame Higurashi and Kendall Roy.

Self Preservation 6 "Warmth"

The anxiety the Sp6 harbors can be linked to their high awareness of their current environment as well as the ongoings of it. This subtype usually gravitates more to system that maintain their emotional comfort via order. Usually practical and hardworking this 6s maintains itself safe by maintaining a strict order around themselves. For this 6s the safety in their environment is both physical and metaphysical. Imo they are the most skeptical of all 6s approaching most things with cynicism. Being very careful as to who they let in their space. This subtype can look like a SP5 (due their more reserved nature however the SP6 does look for connection) and SP9s due to their environment focus.

Characters: Edward Cullen, Miles Morales, Bonnie Bennett, Chihiro, Asami Sato, Armin Arlert , Dipper Pines and Pearl

Sexual 6 "Strength"

Often confused by 8s this subtypes fight the fear the inner 6s have by standing on their own. However, unlike the 8 (who look for power and autonomy by themselves) the SX6 looks to fight their fear (by trying to connect with others). This subtype has an edge to them unlike the other 6s. Their desire for connection is more on the aggressive side. They are the most open about their skepticism of others. The focus for this subtype is stability in interpersonal relationships. As mentioned previously this subtype can look like an E8 (simply due to their reactivity) and some 4s (due to their edginess and over expression of emotion).
