Enneagram type 9 from an INFJ perspective

[@khristinabee]

God giving me Type 9 and making me an INFJ "She'll be fine. She'll do ok. She'll be fiiiine."

[@Wenzes]

Haha...I know that feeling

[@krystlebravo4629]

Ugh right?! I feel like it’s such an awful combo. Very much love/hate being infj 9 🙁

[@khristinabee]

[@krystlebravo4629]

Khristina Barker Are you 9w1? I feel like you might feel more this way if you are w1...

[@khristinabee]

@@krystlebravo4629 I am a w1! Good catch:)

[@LadyGrace2u]

Wow. If you only knew how perfectly timed this was. Thank you. I am also an INFJ 9 and I am so inspired by your channel.☺😊

[@khristinabee]

Me too!! Whew! We're a LOT, lol!

[@jenniferlaprees1985]

I can't tell you how much I appreciate your Eaneogram videos. I'm a nine as well and always just assumed I was a flake...bc that's what people told me, and conflict horrifies me. But I don't Feel nothing...I feel all of the things, but telling my family especially would definitely create drama...thst also really bums me out. Everyone thinks they have me figured out, bc I acquiese, but nobody actually knows me. I have a little hope now that maybe I'm not a vague little ghost person.

[@Wenzes]

thank you :)

[@dreamchaser7603]

To see your transformation is mesmerizing! You’ve always been an incredible person but now you look so much more comfortable in your own skin and way more confident ( as of 2022)

[@Seafox0011]

Thank you Wensis. You are spot on about 'everyone being a bit different' - sharing the same (INFJ EII e9w1) - I'm at a different stage along this path of personal fulfilment but so much of what you say in this video matches personal experience. I find on the expression side, being creative is my 're-balancer', as it gives motivation. I think also what saves us and helps us be positive is that we are forward looking and can see the potential in everything.

[@beachrat82]

Great video! Sounds like exactly what I need to do right now as an INFJ type 9w1. Less being a hermit and more achieving!

[@moo_moon128]

My big sister is a a very very very strong personality, in every shape and form, so i grew into being a type 9, and sadly I’m suffering from the numbness right now

[@user-bl1ng5uq3d]

Thank you, thank you, thank you

Hello! Could you do a video about INFJ - Enneagram 5? I love your videos. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. Very warm greetings to you.

[@MaceKnis_14]

Omg!! The best insight on a type 9 I’ve ever seen!! My bf is sooo envious about all this great advice!!! We are Enneagram Fanatics!! We would love love looove to hear your insight on a 7 (which is what he is!!) please please!!! This video has given me so much more hope and direction. I couldn’t thank you enough!!! Thank you!!

[@Celebok]

Cool, I didn't know you were a Type 9! There are hardly any Type 9's making videos about being Type 9. I'm an ISTP 9.

[@breanna6257]

Hey me to, I’m a istp 9w1

[@ElusvOptmst1]

This was an eye-opening topic for me as an INFJ. I can relate with everything you stated.

[@Wenzes]

glad it was helpfult, thanks for your feedback!

[@stuffofmexx6077]

Thanks for your videos. Could you do a video on INFJ 6? Thank you.

[@sam-st9iu]

Thank you so much for this video! I'm also an INFJ and currently considering the possibility of being enneagram 9w1. I find it difficult to distinguish INFJ and enneagram 9 actually and to see the extra value of the ennegram, since all the growth directions relating to type 9 seem to already be there for INFJs: needing to develop boundaries, tapping into Se in a healthy way, being inspired by ESTP vs integrating into type 3... also 'perspectives' is all type 9 is about, coupled with Fe. I guess what I'm wondering is: where does INFJ end and type 9 start? (I'm aware that being an INFJ 9 I probably merged my vision of INFJ with my being a 9, so any help would be really appreciated!) Thank you so much for your work, you are an inspiration! :)

[@Wenzes]

I think the 9 type thing is very much about being driven (or rather suppressing the drive) for conquering and assertiveness...the infjs that I have met that are 4 or 5s don't feel like they have this drive that they supress in order to keep harmony... all in all it's hard to tell where infj stops and enneagram 9 starts...it's more of two concepts that you put on top of each other. I hope that helps and thanks for your feedback!

[@lindateuling7862]

I'm the type nine as well. In my individual way I have been going through the same process - and in my case through teaching - first as a piano teacher and then as a school teacher. I'm not as familiar with the enneagram but I see its usefulness. My best sense of belonging is when I can take something the people have trouble understanding and present it in a way that they can "get it." It's rewarding on both sides because I know that I'm helping them and it also builds me up as well. if I were a betting person, I would think but this is quite similar to what you're doing. You went into a different profession than what I did but you have a lot of the communicator and teacher in you whether you work in a school or not. You have a lot of the counselor in you as well and I think that teaching and counseling maybe two sides of the same coin. Very helpful video, Wenzes.

[@Wenzes]

I can completely relate Linda...especially with finding joy in finding a way to make people understand...once they do and they feel better about it , it is one of the most rewarding things ever-.

[@wilmarieg4796]

I am INFJ enneagram 9... wow, okay, very interesting! Anger.... jup, this hits home, I have a very complex relationship with anger! I only feel comfortable expressing my anger when I am alone. I find it hard to determine whether my anger is valid and well, worth expressing to people.

[@tanern1191]

I vote for type 4! :) I'm looking forward to this series. And btw.: The short hair suits you so much!

[@Thef98]

im trytipe 2w1 9w1 5w4 but with this video I-m not sure if im first a 2 or 9, also infj

[@LadyGrace2u]

Could you make a video on Type 1s and maybe contrast with just having it as a wing? 😊

[@MariaElena51185]

thank you ! I like your videos. Started studying the Enneagram in '03, and have lately been studying the tri-types for Enneagram. I am a 6-4-9...I very much see all 3 types in me. I am an INFJ (recently found this out.) Your vids are very helpful in understanding INFJ. I get confused as to whether I am a 4 or 6 primary, type...i feel them both the same. And 9 is huge for me... all 3 feel equal, however, I was a 9 type child for sure.

[@Wenzes]

Hi Bridget, thanks for your feedback! Glad my videos are helpful 😊 I have some more recent videos on type 4 and 6 from 2018. maybe watching them will help you identify which one you are primarily 😊

[@bbabybaby143]

Im an ENFP and enneagram 9. 😌 I feel like this causes conflict within.

[@theoverlyemotionalfemale203]

What great advice. Thanks for your insights.

[@Wenzes]

thank you :)

[@aetheraquafire]

My partner is an infj 9.... He's like Pennywise the Clown.... He's a manifestation of my deepest fears... with fluffy bunny slippers. lmao

[@Fullmoonrisingtarot]

Anyone know where I can take the enneagram test for free?

[@n7nms]

''Hi Wenzes, I'm an INFJ Heyoka Empath and my Enneagram is 9W4.

[@jessiesingsss]

I'm a type 9, but I'm an ISFJ

[@marcglueck9274]

Fantastic!!

[@amandabrown7674]

Nice video. Im enfj 962.

[@Wenzes]

thank you!!!

[@amandabrown7674]

Wenzes yw ^^

[@tommywolmart265]

Are u 9w8 or 9w1? And what's your perspective on the development routes for the two subtypes?

[@Wenzes]

Hi Tommy, I am 9w8. I have two more videos on Enneagram 9, just search for enneagram 9 wenzes..in the other videos In the integration videos I talk about the development routes :)

[@DanielleAbigail]

Type 1.

[@TheGerogero]

As a 9, when you become catatonic and out of touch with the world, it can become difficult to believe in yourself, or that you are as worthy as those around you. Shame, then, the central emotion of the feeling center (it seems to me) becomes an especially dominating factor. Perhaps it's an underestimation of a feeling center type in my tritype that leads me to this opinion? Or maybe I'm not a 9 after all?

[@Wenzes]

+TheGerogero Hey, well when I was in that state I was also ashamed but I think I was just absorbing other peoples perception of me too much...since I didn't fit what they wanted me to be I was ashamed...but the truth is under that shame there was anger, anger that someone is expecting me to be a certain way and anger that I had to suppress my true being. Once I let that anger out (which was very painful because I thought if people see me angry they wouldn't like me anymore), i felt empty and sad...but since I kind of reached the bottom and the truth I could build myself up from that point being my authentic self and doing what is good for me, fighting for me truth. This 'breakdown' was a true 'breakingpoint' and the beginning of something wonderful and pure.

[@TheGerogero]

INFJ:BelowtheRadar-AbovetheSystem Hmm! Whether an emotion is rooted in self-perception or of the absorbed perception of others is a good thing to think about. You are very wise :D thank you.

[@blakekwamin7400]

Damn this is spot on

[@jeremiahfix5529]

I have a conundrum of thought, I don't want to doubt people but I get the feeling there are a majority of people who pretend to understand but have ulterior motives, Interestingly enough it isn't really acceptable to say "well, I feel for you but I need and rather take care of myself". So were does that leave the people who have the higher empathy skills? Conflicted I would say.

[@Wenzes]

+Jeremiah Fix It is a question you have to settle with yourself. If you know that the believe system of someone else makes you feel bad about yourself then take yourself out of the situation. You are always allowed to judge: that believesystem is not good enough for me. You are not judging the other person all you say is, I don't want that energy in my life

[@jeremiahfix5529]

Not quite, I'm questioning by fakers, the society I live in basically pressures women into always being empathetic, not necessarily wrong but, there people who "give a dam" because social convention dictates as such.

[@helena6459]

Thank YOU🤗🔘♥

[@Wenzes]

❤😊

[@sarahthomson8183]

Willing to be seen, and not liked.. Yes.. Great video.

[@Wenzes]

+Sarah Thomson Thank you :)

[@lusa2459]

THANK YOU

[@biohazardcel]

awesome video, As a 9 myself i think you captured it well. What is your socionics type btw?

[@Wenzes]

thanks Clayton...in socionics I am an IEI /INFp.

[@biohazardcel]

did actually learn socionics? Quite a few people who come from mbti to socionics think that the types are interchangeable when usually they're not. For example, i know someone who is INFJ in mbti and IEE in socionics.

[@9jatruth]

hi, could you do one on infj ennagram 8. i am 8 wing 4. i've never seen or read anything about infj ennagram 8. .

[@lunajean1369]

+Chizzy D Hi! "8w4" doesn't exist. If you really are an 8, you would be either an 8w7 or 8w9. Maybe enneagram 4 is in your tri-type!

[@9jatruth]

I've taken the test several times and gotten 8 wing 4

[@cr69148]

damn didnt expect ur video lol...

[@LadyGrace2u]

Also, do you know your instinctual variant stack and how that plays into your life? I am very interested to figure out mine and what it really means in the whole scheme of things? :-)

[@Wenzes]

+::Lady Grace:: (*INFJ*) Hi :) I think I am a sx/so...I will make a video on all variants too :)

[@LadyGrace2u]

I think I am those two as well, possibly flipped around with social first, but not sure. Can't wait to watch, keep up the great work!

[@yowyo2056]

I did the test and I got 9 and 4 , retook it on another website and got 9, 4 and 6 ( but I did change one answer because how I answered it on the first place didn't seem as the right answer after giving it some thought) , do you think a person can have two enneagrams or three ? do you suggest I retake the test ? :3 ; thank youuuuuuu :D

[@Wenzes]

I think you have one main one but you integrate into another one when you are growing...like I am a nine and my enneagram for growth is a 3 :)

[@peterh.1521]

I am also INFJ 9w1, and sp/so. Are you 9w1 or 9w8? And, what instinct type are you?

[@Wenzes]

Hi Pete, I am a 9w8 I think sx/so

[@AriannaBollinger]

intj next:)

[@done5823]

your a bad woman damn
