Core type- Passion: deceit. E3s want to be known for their status and accomplishments. In order to keep this up, they won't admit to anything that might harm this image, thus using deceit. Fixation: vanity. They create strategies on how to make this image and appearance they care so much about as impressionable and useful as possible. Trap: efficiency. They always search for ways to reach their goals, and so improve their status, faster. Having little patience for others and even themselves. Defence mechanism: identification. To keep up this status, e3s take on parts of another person that make them seem impressive and so build up their status and fit in with the people they feel like they would as themselves. Virtue: truthfulness. They need to realise their essence can't change and they don't need to use their deception in order to keep their external image and status. Key traits: Other-directedness, achievement orientation, focus on success, competitiveness and the drive to win, image manipulation and self-deception, 

Subtypes- Self preservation [sp]: The sp3 is less concerned with overall image and more so with their security in success. They want to achieve for what it gets them, like money. They can appear similarly to e1s sometimes, as they care about doing things the correct way. Once something isn’t correct, it could take away from the security they constantly work on to achieve. Sexual [sx]: Sx3s are more concerned with having an attractive image than things like money and security. While they can be very hard working, this is always to support someone and help them achieve success or security. They fear letting people down in these ways, they work to avoid being seen as a disappointment to those around them. Social [so]: Deceit is probably the most active in the so3. Their image is their all, they see life as a stage where they must appear perfect and successful. They need to show off importance in money with external things everyone can see, like clothing or accessories. Success for them is purely based on social validation and hierarchy.

Contradictions- INTP, ISTP, INTJ, ISTJ, INFP, ISFP, INFJ, ISFJ Any cognitively introverted type is incompatible with e3. This is due to its inherent dependence on social and materialistic value and success. Even a subtype like sp3 wouldn't be compatible because it's still reliant on materialistic value and security. Types you might want to look into if you are on this list are e1, e4, e5, e6 and e7.

TJ is charming, competitive, image-conscious and assertive. TJ puts up a tough front but at his core he’s a good person.

At his best, TJ becomes much nicer and kinder as the series progresses, largely due to Cyrus’ influence. TJ also becomes more open and helpful, as we see when he borrows the golf cart to help Buffy. 

At his worst, TJ can be mean and competitive, especially at the beginning of his interactions with Buffy. TJ also finds it hard to open up to some people and is easily embarrassed. 

When we first meet TJ, he is a bit rough around the edges and a bit of a bully. However, after he meets Cyrus and realises they have a lot in common and that they understand each other, he becomes softened. For example, after seeing how scared Cyrus is about the gun, TJ decides to do the right thing and tell the police about it. 

TJ and Buffy often clash as they both have a tendency to want to be the best. This is especially evident when they are on the basketball team together as TJ is threatened by Buffy’s skills and doesn’t want her to be better than him. However, after seeing how close Buffy and Cyrus are, he starts to be nicer to Buffy and even apologises to her. He also helps encourage her to start a girls’ basketball team.

TJ is also very image-conscious and worried about what people think about him, which we see when he gets upset about Buffy telling him about his learning disability. TJ doesn’t want to tell his teacher or anyone else because he doesn’t want to be seen as dumb. Cyrus helps encourage TJ to tell his teacher and become more open about his struggles.

TJ shows his wing 2 as he is more people-oriented and charming than a 3w4. 

Tri-type: 3w2 - 8w7 - 7w6

Some quotes to describe TJ’s motivations

“You're right about me not having a moral code. You're right about me needing help with my learning... issues.”

“Surprise. I did the right thing.”

“Classic TJ. Anything good I gotta ruin it.”

i don’t believe in the ‘any mbti type can be any enneagram type’ kind of crap.

some combos are just too contradictory to be real. like IxFxs who are type 8 or ExTPs who are type 4.

xxTP contradicts with 4, high Ti pulls away from emotions and tries to rationalise them, whereas 4 dwells in em.

however all IxxPs have a similar ‘aura’ that can be mistaken as type 4. for example: strongly values freedom and very protective of identity/ “i” talking.

soo an intp would still be very protective of his identity and still be self-centred but still be type 5.

on the other hand ANY mbti can have ANY enneagram type as a FIX. the first fix is usually the strongest, how strong it is depends on the person and on the circumstances.

it even happens that the fix SEEMS stronger than your core type if the circumstances favours it. if a 451 works as a researcher in a highly scientific environment the 5 fix can overshadow the core 4, however 4 would still be your main type.

another example: if the 461 is in a situation that requires them too be overly worried, their 6 fix will take over.

a lot of ppl mistake a strong fix for their core type and mistype themselves therefore.

soo if you think your enneagram is rather unusual for your mbti, consider it might be a strong fix and stop assuming you are some kind of ‘rare combo’ when you’re rly just mistyped.
