ENNEAGRAM TYPE EIGHT : the challenger

I'm trying to get away from measuring my growth through productivity, so instead of a resolution, I've chosen a theme/intention for 2022, which will hopefully inform my choices and actions. The theme, of course, is radical love.

The image on the first slide is the Justice card from the gorgeous Next World Tarot. Many thanks to Sonya Renee Taylor, adrienne maree brown, and Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha for pioneering this important work. Their writing has really been feeding my soul recently.

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.
