Theodore Millon proposed 6 subtypes of HPD in 2000. Below are screenshots of their descriptions in a table on this Wikipedia page on HPD and slightly simplified explanations of them:

The appeasing histrionic has dependent and compulsive features in addition to their histrionic ones. An appeasing histrionic may feel compelled go out of their way to appease others, as the name suggests, and moderate tense situations. The table reads as follows:

"[An appeasing histrionic] Seeks to placate, mend, patch up, smooth over troubles; knack for settling differences, moderating tempers by yielding, compromising, conceding; sacrifices self for commendation; fruitlessly placates the unplacatable."

A pwHPD has a need for attention and to be accepted/approved by others. Therefore, perhaps the appeasing histrionic seeks to gain others' approval by acting as a mediator, one others can rely on to settle disputes and help with problems, thus making themselves important and thereby approved by others.

A vivacious histrionic is someone who possesses hypomanic, and possibly narcissistic, features. Hypomanic features include being restless and engaging in risky and/or reckless behaviour. This means that a pwHPD who has the vivacious subtype may behave recklessly or extremely energetically to be acknowledged and attended to by others. The table explains this as such:

"Vigorous, charming, bubbly, brisk, spirited, flippant, impulsive; seeks momentary cheerfulness and playful adventures; animated, energetic, ebullient."

A tempestuous histrionic has negativistic features. "Tempestuous" means "characterized by strong, turbulent, or conflicting emotions", which falls in line with the description in the table:

"Impulsive, out of control; moody complaints, sulking; precipitous emotion, stormy, impassioned, easily wrought-up, periodically inflamed, turbulent."

This, combined with negativistic features, makes the pwHPD's mood more turbulent and unstable. It may mean they are more likely to do dramatic things to get attention and have people be around and stay with them. The dramatic things they do may also be quite drastic and sudden, and they may also retreat more easily due to mood swings.

A disingenuous histrionic has antisocial features and may be more prone to lying to get sympathy and attention. They may be highly egocentric and very often seek to be in the spotlight, even at the expense of others. They may manipulate others by being overly charming or any other dramatised trait, thus earning them attention. Adding a little to this, the table reads:

"Underhanded, double-dealing, scheming, contriving, plotting, crafty, false-hearted; egocentric, insincere, deceitful, calculating, guileful."

Now, a theatrical histrionic is, as stated in the table, a "variant of [the] 'pure' pattern", meaning that it is a variant of the "usual" histrionic. The description in the table explains a theatrical histrionic as such:

"Affected, mannered, put-on; postures are striking, eyecatching, graphic; markets self-appearance; is synthesized, stagy; simulates desirable/dramatic poses."

Essentially, one could say that a theatrical histrionic is a more "dramatic" version of the usual histrionic; they "put on a show", so to speak, to gain attention from others, as though on stage for others to see.

Lastly, an infantile histrionic has borderline features. This means that they are more prone to becoming excessively attached to someone, and also that they are more prone to "volatile emotions", i.e. emotional outbursts and the like. The table expands on this as follows:

"Labile, high-strung, volatile emotions; childlike hysteria and nascent pouting; demanding, overwrought; fastens and clutches to another; is excessively attached, hangs on, stays fused to and clinging."

It relates to connecting from the outside in (Fe) or the inside out (Fi).

Fi is, “What do I authentically feel about this connection?” and Fe is “What is happening between us and how do I maintain or adjust it?”

So + Fe: plugs straight into connection and care, what we have in common, what we agree on, what values we share. Reads the connection as something that exists between us and feels responsible for maintaining that connection. (Checks in, adjusts their tone, smooths tensions, feels discomfort when the bond is strained or they are pushed out, responding to others’ needs or expectations in real time. “Are we okay? Something feels off between us.”)

It reads body language and emotional signals and tracks social expectations. Can over-adopt, care too much what everyone else thinks about them, or people-please. It asks, “How should I come across? What’s appropriate here? What does this situation require of me?” and adjusts their presentation to fit their roles, expectations, or the needs of the other person.

So + Fi: relational from a personal internal anchor, connection must feel real with someone who doesn’t pressure the Fi to change their views. They selectively bond (not anyone gets access to me) and show up in a way that feels genuine, while rejecting anything that feels performative or too expected. (“Do I care about this person? Is this connection real or forced? Am I being true to how I feel about them?”) It interprets others through the self (“if I were them, how would I feel?”). Can misread the situation by projecting their own feelings or values onto it, or misinterpreting social cues / being “too late” to realize what others want from them.

It is aware of roles but not defined by them, and experiences a constant tension between belonging and authenticity, rejecting or accepting what others need or want from them, and resisting external expectations that feel “fake.” They ask, “Is this truly me? Do I agree with this social norm? Can I belong without losing myself?”

Wyvegender: an idingender identity in which one’s gender is fluid between two or more genders that are neither male nor female. The genders that one is fluid between can be any genders and any amount of genders; however, none of these genders have any connection to masculinity or femininity at all.

SX9 “SYMBiOSiS”

STRENGTH: E3 “THE ACHiEVER”

WEAKNESS: E6 “THE LOYALIST”

“Enneatype 9s with the SX instinct are the type to develop a need for another’s love to earn a sense of identity or belonging. Their “laziness” loses their own instincts and earns an ability to perceive the need of others. These people learn to merge with others, and ends up losing themselves slowly in the process.”
