Enneagram 7 vs. 9 Differences | Enthusiast Peacemaker | Misidentification

[@kelliecanscan3364]

Im a 7 and my bf is 9. We are similar and yet so opposite in a good way, but he helps me to grow as a person and learn new things. It's a good duo.

[@thefleepo8013]

It's weird... I just feel like both. I definitely relate MUCH more to type 9, but at the same time, I really lovr to stay active - doing stuff like playing video games, and such. I don't need to stay that way all the time, but from what I keep hearing, I'm definitely more active than how a 9 should prolly be. And I also tend to jump from thing to thing, leaving projects unfinished and procrastinate (tho the last one could prolly be typical of 9's as well). But even then, I just feel like I could not relate to any other type more than I could to 9...

[@frankielafleur1061]

I am a 9 and I feel the same. I'm always active, and I run away from problems or jump from project to project. I physically love doing things and love to be on the go. But I definitely don't make myself big in conflict situations at least at work, outside of work I will. At work I'd rather make myself small and let others take the lead because at the end of the day it's just a job and my energy is better spent at home and on myself. Home life/social life I let my opinion be known and rarely let others walk on me. I guess people just can't be accurately labeled by a number.

I’ve watched a LOT of enneagram videos... and you explain things more clearly than anyone. It’s a gift, I hope you are still working with/teaching the enneagram

[@EnneagramGirl]

Thank you for the encouragement, I do need to get back in a rhythm again.💛

[@jovyflagg]

Hi! I'm new to Enneagram and going through this dilemma if I am a 7 or 9

[@nickbaldi5198]

I'm new to Enneagram. I tested as 9w1 which seems fairly accurate thus far. I keep a lot of my opinions to myself unless I feel very safe. I'm also constantly aware of surroundings and if I am in a person's way and seeing where others are going.

[@EnneagramGirl]

Hey Nick, so cool that you've discovered this tool! Tests are helpful, but I always recommend that people read more into their results before identifying fully-- my blog (enneagramgirl.wordpress.com) and "The Wisdom of The Enneagram" are both sources I'd totally recommend. I hope the Enneagram helps you to understand and grow, as it was designed to do! :)

[@jamiemott5459]

Nick i'm exactly the same. I'm always wary of being in others way. Also 9w1.

[@ThyReturner]

Oh wow, I just commented on one of your 2015 blog post. Nice to see you have a KZbin channel. Definitely, feel I'm a 9. I discovered your blog right after searching "Self-Forgetting". I don't think I always been one to become small, but after seeking the wrong validation from a "best friend" in my early childhood I wanted not only him to accept me, but his peers who didn't. Ever since it feels as if I lost my "mojo". I use to be a person who became BIG when confronted with conflict. Nowadays, I minimize. Not all the time though, but I been doing a lot of inner searching meditating and looking for insights in my writing on my thoughts. Discovered a vice for co-dependency and self-invalidation. Now your work on 'enneagrams' something completely new to me has spark my interest and provides familiar insights especially into the "motivations" of the 9.

[@EnneagramGirl]

I’m glad Enneagram has piqued your interest! It’s mainly about why we do what we do.✨ From what you’ve said, I would check our both 9 and 3 (specifically their Sx varieties)- do let me know if you have questions.

[@kristenmcneal3236]

I’m an ENFP 9. Definitely an SO/SX 9 at that :)

[@airyshell]

Actually, from everything I've read and the research I've done, the ENFP is the most introverted of the extroverts. That's the Myers Briggs result I get every time. So, it made sense to me when I had found they were the most introverted of the extroverts. I can often be confused as an introvert!

[@airyshell]

Also, I got 7 for the Enneagram test, which kind of surprised me as I read the definitions, but watching these videos on the differences between 7 and 4 and 9 is helping me understand. My results went 7, 9, 4. Haha!

[@Ms.Gollygosh]

I'm also an ENFP, 794 (in that order) :-) totally agree - the most introverted of the extroverts. I've felt very 9ish sometimes but I'm definitely a 7 :-)

[@marthawith7]

Also an ENFP; type 7w6 :) I remember being surprised realizing I was more of an extrovert but I definitely can understand it more as I get older and get to know myself better!

[@josephoshaughnessy7124]

@@sherbetlemons ENTPs are more intorverted. Ti is more introverted than Fi

[@kellyford5509]

Entp is the introverted extrovert.

[@casandrahanson3838]

[@amdinstartor6867]

6:02 why the unreadable subtype explanations tho

[@jovyflagg]

Thanks for this! Love your lip color!

[@glendaw5221]

I am a 7 and in conflict with a 9 friend. I see her as very passive aggressive and clingy. She probably sees me as abrasive and thoughtless!

[@Idorise]

Nor to avoid , nor to seek!😂 I think I'm 7 First, then 5, 4...9,6...69! Papa et maman s'aiment!

[@sukkatdavid3365]

whats your enneagram type? 1?

[@EnneagramGirl]

Hey there, thanks for the compliment! I'm a 4w5. ;)

[@shs93164]

Enneagram Girl same, sp/sx though what about your instinct and tritype

[@EnneagramGirl]

Hey! I am sx/so, and personally do not subscribe to tritype. If you are interested in why, you can read more about it here on the blog. :) enneagramgirl.wordpress.com/2015/09/17/thoughts-on-tritype/

[@Melitta-zx4sf]

INFJ ?

[@EnneagramGirl]

Hey Melitta, Meyers Briggs is interesting, but I don't find it as accurate or applicable as Enneagram-- I will say that of the options, INFJ is the most closely fitting box for me. ;)

[@trinayoungx]

Out of context but within the types which are the withdrawing type and which are the expressive type?

[@EnneagramGirl]

Hey Trina! The Withdrawn types are 4, 5 and 9. Expressive isn't a term used in Enneagram, but the other "triads" are Compliant (2, 6, 7) and Aggressive (1, 3, 8)-- this is based on the work of Karen Horney, if you are looking for more study into the topic! Thanks for watching. :)

[@carnationsensation]

@TrinaYoung, Actually there is sort of an "expressive triad" but it's called something different. It's the "emotional realness" triad!! (aka the Reactive triad) It's types 4,6,8. :D Also, I'm not familiar with Karen Horney, but I'm pretty sure most people agree that the Compliant Types are 1,2,6, and the Assertive Types are 3,7,8. (The people I know in the Enneagram Community don't call it "Aggressive," they call it "Assertive.") ....BTW, 4w3 social here!! ^_^ so/sx/sp.

[@kellyford5509]

I’m a 7w8 and it’s blowing my mind people think 7 and 9 are similar. To me, nothing alike. Scored lowest on 9 on my rheti.
