[@randyschroeder2210]

I’ve been told everyone has a little of each type, but the goal is to find the closest match. It might make sense to dig into a book with details. When I did, I read one number until it didn’t feel like me anymore. Then move on to the next type, until you find the closest to you. Also, we’re all basically one number, with a “leaning” to the numbers on each side. For example, I’m a 7, but have a leaning to 6, and sometimes an 8, depending on the situation. I hope this heals?

"Defend themselves by building emotional walls and denying vulnerability"; "fear being hurt by others", "fear being controlled by others" sounds about right. Also 8s are said to turn into 2s when happy (when I'm happy I'm more of an ENFP style but also like gifting others and doting on them) and into 5s when stressed (massive overthinking and analyzing).

I have had this idea a of a great trilogy fanfiction themed around The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings in my head for years because I grew up reading the books and watch them come to life at the same time. But I always got stuck in the plot or - more often - had unrelatable characters. So I tried to figure out why this happens and dug a little in how writing really works. So first I stumbled over the 16 MBTI personality types. I got so fast so frustrated because I was just overwhelmed by the sheer mass of information that I dumped the idea of ever writing a good fanfiction. But now I found the Enneagram and to me it was mindblowing. It really opened my eyes on how to make my characters act relatable and reasonable on internal and external conflict. So I'll use the Enneagram to build the base of the characters and hopefully use the MBTI personalities to sharpen them a little more. Thank you so much❤

[@ejvega]

I'm a type 8. For the longest time, I used to argue with people about all the reasons why I wasn't a type 8 because I didn't like how bossy the personality type sounded, and I wanted to convince people I wasn't domineering... It took me far too long to realize the irony of my intentions. PS. I personally prefer Enneagram to MBTI. I like how it mainly focuses on fear and desire, two of life's biggest motivators. I think it to be a better guide for life in this way. If you understand that which motivates you, you'll know how to rule your own life. (At least, that's my opinion on the matter.)

@Jojo H that could be me too. I am a little skeptical. :I have always enjoyed these type of personality tests but now work for a company that everyone is deeply into it. Moreover, I have become a huge advocate for the Herman Brain Dominance tool (plus My Motivators). I felt that it was far more relevant in understanding myself and others--and was a very useful tool for onboarding , leveraging skills talents, with really actionable things I can do to minimize my blind spots while leveraging other areas. It will be interesting to see how they judge me once they hear my #. Maybe I will sell them I am an 11 (9 plus 2) or is it 3 plus 6 plus 2?

I've had an interesting path in life. I'm a 3, and an INFP. I think a lot of it is that unlike most threes, my fear of failure and worthlessness, coupled with my need for validation, has caused me to avoid all things that could possibly result in failure, and become crippled with self doubt. I also, am an introvert, so instead of wanting everyone to love me, and be popular, I only really care about the validation and adoration of like, 3-6 people maximum. P.S. It is really great you recommended richard rohr. He is my favorite teacher on this matter, and he's a priest so he preaches the truest extension of the enneagram, which is leading us back to our true self, and to God

[@LarissaFord]

An interesting point about type 6's being so common: I'm a 6 and can say from experience that 6's often can see themselves in others because 6's have a strong tendency for projection. My point is I wonder if it was a 6 who reported that half the world is other 6's 😅

I personally prefer Enneagram to MBTI, partly because it's more straightforward and clearer to observe. There's just so much more to functions I learn something new everytime I get back into MBTI. Enneagram is also perfect for character building and development since it is centered around concepts that are akin to how character motivators work.

I'm an INTJ and a 5 but this is so true. I went from extremely weird changes in my childhood, my MBTI kept changing and eventually ended up as ENFJ (until I was 7) > INFJ (until I was 10) > INTJ. Where I live social status is incredibly important so even after I stopped Fe I had to build up a different personality so that I wouldn't get scolded by the teachers. Now I can't tell how much of what I feel in my head is true or me just creating the emotions I'm meant to feel in my mind.
