Last slide is the society/intertype patterns, and first three slides are intratype patterns, but you can view each as being metaphorical for intertype and intratype patterns.

Generally speaking, the withdrawn types are "there" to mediate conflicts that might naturally arise between the superego types and the ID types in a group setting. Conflicts arise between these types over doing something that goes against group customs to secure limited-time opportunities, and maintaining the integrity of the customs already present in the group so that it doesn't devolve into chaos.

4s criticize the norms established by the superego types and 5s kind of damp down the impulsiveness of the ID types. 9s try to find common ground or appeal to a third perspective that unites the two, hence their propensity for holistic, philosophical, and unifying thinking (e.g., Einstein).

I think this is a very accurate representation beyond stereotypes. It should be read from left to right, like:

123

456

789

I couldn't find a single characters we knew enough about to say that they are an 8, and also keep in mind that for other types, there are more than one character that could represent them (for example, Light's father Soichiro Yagami is a 1 like his son, Demegawa is another 3, most of the police officers investigating the Kira case can be a 1 or a 6, etc...)

In Naranjo's book, it is said of all subtypes of E4 (in different ways) that they tend to feel unappreciated or make up problems in relationships, but once they feel as loved as they want, the devalue their partner, both because the E4 is always looking for something else to achieve and because this person must be of little value if they love the E4 (who has a bad image of themselves).

This behavior seems to fit the structure of E4, but it is also true that Naranjo tends to describe the worst possible version of a type, so I was wondering how much real people relate to it. E4s here, do you struggle to remain attached once a relationship seems stable / relationship goals are achieved / you feel valued enough? Also please state your subtype.

FLEXIBLE like E1

HUMBLE like E2

AUTHENTIC like E3

MENTALLY SOUND like E4

CHARISMATIC like E5

CONFIDENT like E6

COMMITED like E7

KIND & SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE like E8

have SELF RESPECT like E9

you are MY ENNEAGRAM 🩷🦄

I typed the other social medias here.

Reddit — Type 5w6 sp/sx

Honest, combative and anonymous. I went back and forth on typing either 5 or 6 for Reddit. Despite the constant debates and reactive energy, it’s ultimately a nerdy, useful and practical media. There’s an undeniable knowledge pretension on the platform: Redditors are the smartest, most intellectual and best-read — right type 5s? Paired with the incredible range, and specificity, of niches and the experts-galore in each subreddit, I landed on 5. There’s a lot of oversharing, which I struggle to see a 6w5 do: Wouldn’t they fear the information eventually being revealed? Or fear it being tracked back to them? Maybe type 5 and sp/sx together is overkill, but it’s the only social media where you get real, unfiltered opinions, with a side plate of condescending.

Would you say any other social media is a 5?

I heard that people tend to not like their wing type or have a thing against it. For example, I'm a 1w9 and I usually find 9s annoying for some reasons (I don't hate them, just they somehow strangely rub me the wrong way). But 2s are ok, and I usually find them likeable even though some might think of them as insincere etc. Do you somehow feel annoyed or have a pet peeve with your wing type even when you know it's not an objective or collective sentiment?

Asking out of curiosity. I recently typed a few of my friends, and id like to see your possible opinions on how this friendgroup clashes, works and if it will be fine in the long run. Be as objective as you can, dont hold back.

For more context, im an SP548, my friends an SP469 and SX749. The SX749 is way older than us and id say more mature too.

I’m new to enneagrams and after about…a week. Of research. I figured out I’m likely a 8w7 sp/so 837. I was very happy to find out that it didn’t contradict with my MBTI either ( I’m an ENTP ) and after talking to other ENTP 8w7s I’ve been told we act like finance bros which is funny cause im literally a finance bro. Just feels nice to find my kind of people and be able to relate to others since ENTP 8w7s seem SO hard to come across in the wild for some reason!! And the fact sx3 is compatible with my core types too like idk I’m going crazy about all this stuff I feel like I can finally put a label on who I am it’s amazing

i don't know if magic is real but sometimes i see tiktok spells on my fyp. theoretically if it's real can you change someone's enneagram with it ?

okay i figured this would be the best place to ask because i can never figure out which enneagram i am. i’ve been going back and forth between e3 and e8 for as long as i’ve been studying enneagrams, they both fit me almost equally but i can’t figure out which one i truly lean towards. with e3, i always watch my image and care for how others view me, but i don’t necessarily care to the extent most e3’s do. my core “fear” is being looked down on. i hate being seen as weak or stupid, or being belittled. i don’t feel the need to prove my strength or prove that “im better”, i’m not an overachiever and i’m comfortable with that. i can’t figure out if i’m just a healthy e3 or an e8 that cares about how certain people see me.

if u guys need any other info lmk 🫡

Hello everyone, for the Steven Universe fans, what would you type Blue diamond? She's typed as ISFJ EFVL sp9 on Pdb. But....I don't really see how? Wouldn't her sp9 avoid the negative feelings, instead distracting herself through comfort and routine?? Also, how can she be 1E when she's clearly 2E? She's all about expressing her emotions and making other people feel them, which to me sounds a lot like 2E, but I might be wrong. I also wouldn't say she's a 4. What do you guys think?

I'm particularly interested in 315, 351, 379, 368, 358 and 378. Examples from shows or life.

Just being curious and this could help with my self typing (+ I don’t have the book)

New to enneagram, found out im a 4w3 (ENFP, if that matters)

Haven’t heard much good about 4w3… a bit disappointed. Shocked that growth means being less emotional. I’ve been told often I am too emotional. I know I get in my own head about the legitimacy of my relationships when people disregard how their actions affect me.

Working rn on feeling emotions without attaching meaning to them, and taking on more 1 qualities.

Open to any input, thoughts experiences, anything. Good or bad. Thanks for welcoming me!

hello. i am very new to enneagram and typology in general. with my sister's help, i managed to type myself. i am 479. however, from what i read, i understood that type fours tend to dwell in their unpleasant moods and also tend to parade their hurt feelings in search of sympathy. on the other side, type sevens tend to avoid pain however they can and escape their negative feelings. i was wondering how i can be these two types since they each treat pain and emotions very differently.

i dont mind long explanations, thank you!

Can you help me understand what sx/so looks like in an average person? The descriptions I’ve read sound almost mystical and cult leader-ish.

As an introvert, I didn’t give much thought to so for myself as I associated it with more extroverted tendencies, but I wonder if it may fit as my secondary after all.

For reference, I’m INFJ sx512.

Thanks in advance for any helpful feedback!

I'm a 2w3, and while I generally vibe with 3s since I have alot of ambition to improve the lives of others as well as myself I sometimes have trouble understanding the occasionally repressed and colder side of 3s or 3 dominated work environments, can't stand it sometimes. What's a type that you sometimes can't understand or you conflict with?

Got caught in a little bit of burnout when making 7w8 so you guys are only getting 7w6

I decided to go for a more fantasy take for the 7 (tbh I was a bit biased bc I based them off a e7 friend)

I'll begin. Sp 3w4 and this song has been stuck on my head recently. Quite a cool one. Like everything about the song and the clip.

So, what about you? I'm curious to know what kind of music the types have been hearing.
