[@christopherpoblete8562]

@@mikogale why? could you elaborate pls

[@franzwinterboy5420]

MBTI is more of how you think. Enneagram is more of why are we the person we are. Both are important but Enneagram analyzes what motivates us, what we like, our "philosophy".

[@c.shadou1897]

naurata ei yhtään I think enneagram is for self evaluation and reflection, whereas MBTI helps you understand others around you more

[@anothernerdontheinternet]

@@franzwinterboy5420 MBTI = nature Eneagram = nurture According to MBTI we are born with a certain way of percieving and judging the word through our cognitive functions, the 4 letters then come from our preferences based on thoose functions. Eneagram is based more on mental health and how the enviroment we live and grew up in led us to have certain goals and fears and the coping mechanisms we use when faced with thoose fears and the way we get to thoose goals. Through that knowledge we can know how we can grow and become more stable when faced with our fears.

This is how I see it: 1w9: Focus on doing things right 1w2: Focus on doing the right thing 2w1: Helping others for their sake 2w3: Helping others for personal sake 3w2: Focus on social competiton 3w4: Focus on objective competition 4w3: Is more extroverted. More romantically expressive 4w5: Is more introverted.

In a way, it's quite a good, humbling experience, i'd say. having an abundance of us here sends us a clear message that we ain't actually as rare or as few as we thought ourselves to be, & damn certainly ain't all that ungodly special as we like to think ourselves to be.

[@radiatormike]

Why? It's awesome. It isn't worse to be an INFP 4w5 than any other type. When we integrate we can be some of the most creative and insightful people. We can see the beauty in everything. That's not to say we should be narcissistic, or that we're better than anyone else, but don't put us down or act like we have it worse than anyone else. I know it's a type Four thing to want to be unique and all that but I feel like telling yourself you're innately going to suffer more than anyone else just leads to excusing unhealthy behaviours.

[@sandrac.8604]

Try the same thing except w8 lol. Why is it that our wings might as well be opposite to our main traits? Not that I don't like it, my 8 wing lets me assert myself and my ideals. Just wish that 1 wing would swoop in and help me get stuff done :')

[@abilea4081]

I think it's interesting you'll notice a lot of correlations between the MBTI and Enneagrams. I'm an ENTP and 7w8

[@symphony-of-destruction]

I find it interesting that any of the 16 MBTI types can be any of the 9 Enneagram numbers (not to mention the wings), while it rarely happens, it does happen. And it really shows how different one of the 16 types can be.

[@rebecka4715]

Yea I find one thing very interesting yet a bit sad as well... Most INTP seem to be enneagram 5 and thats how INTPs are mostly portrayed, there's a huge difference between them and the other a bit less common, yet pretty common enneagram I've come across among INTPs (9). Feeling a bit left out 🤔

[@Sam-bs8by]

I’m also an ENTP 7w8. Any Meyers Briggs type can technically fall anywhere on the Ennegram scale, but it would be pretty bizarre to be an ENTP , 9 or 1 in the Ennegram. Even though Ennegram is based on motives.. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@zenli1407]

As an INFP 9w8, I see a similarity between "developing the wings" and "developing functions". The 8 wing is about facing conflict with others and the 1 wing is about organizing, both of which correlate very well with INFP's inferior Te.

[@commentsiguess1263]

I suffer from C-PTSD as well. Sometimes I'm asking if my behavior is really like that or are those symptoms? Like am I really an introvert or is it just my sickness screaming "Stay the f... away from people." Am I really more thinking than feeling or is it again the C-PTSD screaming "No feelings! Just think this through, then we'll survive."

[@clairerussell1391]

@@akiray8564 I'm so sorry! Are you getting help? I can recommend a book if you're ready (Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving, Pete Walker). My therapist uses it with me, as well as the personality work. I've learned that this illness can have some positive consequences if you're self aware and ready to open all those locked boxes in your brain-attic. Don't push yourself to "get better," take things slowly. It sounds like a platitude but you really, really are tougher than you think. 🖤

I am INFJ “the advocate” and 6w5 “the defender” and honestly, I am very much what it describes. 6w7 is “the buddy” and I really don’t see myself in that wing at all. I also took another test on an app called Youper (mental health interactive app if anyone is interested in it) and got “the counselor” which it said also corresponds to the INFJ personality type. We took the enneagram test as a family and we all got different types. My dad is 1w9 and my mom is 9w1 and I thought that was just beautiful.

[@badbeku5699]

3:14 you're such a 4 😭Imo it's essential to learn about the other types, you learn so much about yourself through observing and understanding others. In the Enneagram the types are never an isolated entity. I'm an 2w1, but under stress, when I'm inspired or motivated, at my best, in different situations I move towards other types and their characteristics. Not to mention that understanding others, making them feel understood through the knowledge you gained through the Enneagram, can be reward in itself! I'd love to hear you talk about Tritypes!

sweta INTP 5w4 here lol

[@SlayerRoland]

5w6 INTP. Makes so much more sense now. Reflecting on it, life has just been looking for someone I can apply my knowledge and skills for. Never was even picky about the cause, as long as I felt secure with the friend or leader I was working for. I think I just wanted to prove I was useful and clever. Just musing here, but I suppose the strengths of this type are intelligence, resourcefulness, and will to do whatever it takes to get the answer. Largest weakness is how easy it is to simply outsource my moral compass to the one I'm loyal to. If they are an upstanding person, you can get by. If they are not, you may subject yourself to regret down the line.

[@alexandratzoko2634]

INFJ 6w5, I actually got into the wings very recently and I have to say that it’s very interesting to see that there is such specific way to separate each of the 9 enneagrams. It gives you more to research and read about. I honestly think that all of this is a great way to understand a bit more about you and use this information to grow. Thanks to this video I understood a bit more. This is a great video and thank you for talking about it in detail.

[@NebulaGuardian]

Fun idea: I have a hard time visualizing types in real life unless I've met them, so for those who share this trait... if you can find some nerd friends to do tabletop or verbal roleplays and create characters with the different personalities to go on adventures together, it really helps with perspective. If you've never roleplayed before, your first character will probably look either just like your personality or just like how you wish you were. Your character might be born a stereotype as well, but with a good GM/DM creating situations in which they can grow and develop, they'll start to seem more like a real person. It really helped me identify the 16 Types and 9 Enneagram Types and how they respond to developments and stress. It may sound silly, but it worked for me (INFP Type 9). Also... STAY AWAY FROM ONLINE STEREOTYPES. These will just confuse you and make you pre-type people without really getting to know them. In my experience, many people do NOT display their true personality type when you first get to know them. And the more mature a person is, the less you'll be able to tell which type or Enneagram they are up front. Just keep that in mind. :-)

I like this new background with depth in the shot. Very artsy 👌🏾

[@BeigeRattlesnake]

INTP 5w4 Certainly we can be seen as robots, but if your wing is strong you will also have a lot of heart energy. I scored decently high with INFP and so I feel that is my MBTI "wing" so to speak lol. It is just tricky sometimes to explain my mind without explaining my heart.

I love learning more about who I am and about what makes us tick (although I stay far away from stereotyped information - I don’t even like unicorns and I often get mistaken for an introvert, but I absolutely will come to your house at 3am to wrap you in a soft blanket and hold your hand if you feel low). There’s so much new information for me to dissect and I can’t wait to learn more! Thank you so much for what you do :) -sincerely, an ENFP-A (who’s probably enneagram type 9.... not sure yet)

[@d.k.4217]

Hi Frank! I know this video is kinda old. I like just recently found this channel some months ago and I’ve been looking through a lot of videos trying to understand typology amongst other resources. I’m the most comfortable here because you explain things the best way I can understand, you’re very relatable, and like me you’re a fellow INFJ. Harping on you mentioning of tritypes, I’m pretty confident that I’m “the researcher” who have the tritype of 1w9, 4w5, and 5w4. Just looking at basic enneagrams the 1 & 4 made sense for me to be because they had a growth/ stress connection and I know we tend to lean into either or considering ones circumstances. However, at first I was mad confused because I was identifying with 5 as well which was kinda odd due to the fact that I’m an INFJ and they have relatively lower percentages in that type. Then I started looking at wings which lead me to tritypes and to my reassurance found that out of all the MBTI types, INFJs are the most common 145s. With that said, I haven’t been seeing many enneagram videos as of late but I know this channel mainly focuses on MBTI. Nevertheless, I do hope you can consider still doing a tritypes video because honestly I am the most confused about that. 😅

[@helenarosno]

I took the test and read about the types a bit. I got a 5w4 but I was also high in 9w1which I think fits me better. I prefer working alone because of my perfectionist tendencies, but when I do work with a group or an just forced to sit through dinner with family, I try to put others thoughts and feelings before my own even though I would so much rather spend that time alone. Also, my own emotions often take a back seat and I always try my best to make sure that others are comfortable around me

[@noahlauryn8444]

I took the Enneagram multiple times and always scored as a 8w5 even though, according to the Internet, it doesn’t exist ? Also, as an ENTP, I feel like the 8w5 definition completely resonates with my contradictory nature... Any thoughts on the matter ?

[@alexs2351]

Naybe 8 and 5 are in your tritype. Also when a type 5 develops in a positive direction, they take on qualities of an 8.

[@gorangelo4525]

As an ENTP (even though I consider myself an introvert), I got highest scores in 8 and 5 (literally depending on my mood, I could get either 8 or 5). ENTP's 8's don't fit into normal 8 description, we're not about controlling others, we are more about not being controlled.

[@noahlauryn8444]

Alex S Yeah I think that’s pretty accurate as when I was younger I had a much more negative/fearful 5 mindset

[@noahlauryn8444]

Goran Gelo Totally agree ! I noticed too that I get different results according to which mood I’m in. But I guess 8w5/5w8 fit ENTPs better ? (if there’s any link between Enneagram and MBTI)

Seen your video, and read some articles and books. A test told me I was a 4, but learning more about enneagram system, i think I'm a 5w6 normally, but when depression kicks in my 4 wing (5w4) is much more developed than my 6 wing

Mári Azeredo Well that was exactly my point. I am a 4w5 too, and thinking I am predisposed to depression or whatever really isn’t going to get me anywhere.

[@Miloutchaful]

Mári Azeredo Some people make it seem like 4w5 is a disease or something.

[@CoNSu_11]

Everybody has their problems and all numbers suffer in their unique way, but 4 is specially good mentally magnifying them, because is what makes them unique, suffering, contemplating the pain, experiencing it, embracing it, it's almost like they loved and needed it. And then you have wing 5, if it wasn't enough with the 4 and it's necessity to be alone, 5 adds more isolation to the mix, more mental working, more to this vicious circle.

[@sethroy4318]

@@CoNSu_11 it's so fascinating to watch all these 4s in general talking about how hard it is to be a 4, because the fact that they think that is in itself a part of the 4's fixation
