'Hello all! I've been looking for some online info on the enneagram types as parents. The only things that are coming up in my search are books to buy on Amazon (which honestly don't look that...|||I'm a type 4 and my love map is VERY influenced by my parents. I strongly dislike any super-macho guy with such a fragile masculinity that he can't use vanilla hand soap, etc. etc. And I have never...|||Ugh, that's the truth. I'm 4w3 and my male SO is a 9w8. I think our love maps are pretty similar so far. Although I have definitely experienced that jarring moment when something was violated. I...|||Hey friends!  Sorry to reanimate this zombie post, but I just wanted to thank you all for your input. It's been over 6 months with my ISFP and it's been really wonderful. The enneagram has been...|||So, I have had the great fortune to have a very very lovely ISFP man come into my life. He is so wonderful--caring, funny, laid-back, a good listener, thoughtful, and generous. With my ENFP...|||Babe, seriously, message me and I'll give you my email. I love love proofreading/editing/helping as much as I can.  For the structure I mean this:  Point: Chris Evans is a babe in Captain...|||Ohhhh yes, this is such a problem for me.   Honestly, I just get through the conversation without using their name. About 50% of the time, they'll end up asking me for mine with lots of...|||I suppose the key lies in using both the Ne to think of related topics, capping that, then pushing through to finish the thought cleanly. Personally, a good outline has been invaluable. I have always...|||I have to be careful not to stay in this mode once I get there. If I've been cranked up enough to achieve SBM I'll be too riled up to calm back down for hours. This is extremely counter-productive...|||This isn't an article but I've found from experience that researching each type deeply, including each of the functions that make up each type, is extremely helpful. Once you understand each type,...|||Honestly, I think it is so important for NFs (and probably many other types, but definitely every NF I have come across) to realize this. I call my ENFJ friend once a month very upset about the...|||Honestly, it was an accidental hiatus, but it was for the best. I'm excited to get back into it! I've missed the theories and quizzes and general banter. :)|||I get along best with ENTJs, INTJs, INFPs, well basically all Ns, and ISFPs.   I too, love, love hanging out with introverts.|||frisbacon  <3 <3 <3|||Whoa. I was not expecting those poll results.  Really? Shakespeare was a pioneer. He made up words we still use to this day! (Including swagger, so there.) Of course, I love Poe, too, but I feel...|||I don't know either but my inability to read intjs makes me so flustered|||Most rom-coms and Transformers 2, the movie made specifically for teenage boys.|||Ha! Maybe Rapunzel. I'm not that naive, though. Does anyone else feel like the ENFPs portrayed on shows can be super naive without our sense of knowing what's going on with everyone all the time?|||Haha, I know! I typed everyone in my extended family when they came for a little reunion. I kept it quiet, all up in my head, and made one (ONE!) little comment to my ESTP uncle. My mom mentioned...|||I choose purple first, because it is vibrant and rare in nature yet majestic and not to be worn by those who aren't confident. Secondly, which now I'm wishing I had voted for so I could say first,...|||The only thing in my personality I've seen affected by my parents is my enneagram type. Nothing of the MBTI. So, I don't know if you would call that temperament. Hmmmm.  I agree, it would be quite...|||Haha, yes, that would be quite the problem. Then she's not the one! :)  Don't be so sad.  44923  ^you!|||Until you find the one who doesn't want to be just friends!|||I'm the only N is a family of SJs, even my extended family!

Some of us aren't as blessed. :)|||With my bed? Yeah, probably. Alarm clock's jealous.|||Ha! I had Matthew down as INFP for sure. He's so concerned with doing things according to what's right to him. I don't see Mary as reckless. To me she's a careful planner who occasionally lets...|||So incredibly affectionate. Hugs and snuggles and hand holding abound.|||I was gonna say...  ...my friendsssss! *duh duh duh*|||I say meep whenever I'm thinking, feel awkward, feel sad, am excited, am bored, or tired. So, definitely all the time.|||First of all, true that to everything La Petite Sirène said in her first post.  Secondly, my fantasy world doesn't seem to be extravagant as other people's here. I think of lots of...|||Love 'em, but I don't think I'd get one unless it was a it was REALLY symbolic/related to a big event/realization/etc in my life.   I generally like them, so if you're ready, go for it!|||This is stinkin' awesome.|||Love 'em to death. Too much fun, see the beauty in everything, refuse to be bogged down by anything.|||and I'm wondering where the random thoughts/stream of consciousness/randomness thread is. Eh?|||that I try to control my future way more than previously thought.  that I have so far to go but am growing so much.  that there is one who has loved me since before the world began.  that my...|||Ah, I gotcha. Then you can do what I cannot. That's still quite a feat, though.|||Meet a sweet INFP. Interested in my ISFP friend.  Boo. *duh duh duh* and another one bites the dust.|||I act like a stinkin' weirdo. I'm working on just carrying on and being myself and not adjusting my behavior.   It's difficult stuff.|||Mm, I would love to see a picture of that. I invented a 26-letter substitute language with a vertical reading system with my friend, but it was definitely crackable. Good enough to keep a younger...|||Wow, that is seriously amazing. Have you (or you, HamsterSamurai) ever thought about writing a book? Or maybe just keeping a collections of all your worlds?|||Since I was here earlier but didn't actually ask a question, I thought I'd remedy that by actually doing one.   Many suspect that Tolkien was an INTJ. He created this whole universe in his own...|||Well, lovely!|||I'm not an INFP...but I got sorted into Ravenclaw! My INTJ friend is Gryffindor, ISFJ friend is Hufflepuff, and ESTJ friend is Slytherin. They were all perfect.  However, I do know one girl (ISTJ)...|||Hee! This was sweet. I so hope my lovely INTJ friend finds a sweet ENFP guy who feels this way about her.|||One of my closest friends is ISFJ. I think we have a special relationship, and I'm not entirely sure how standard our interactions are. We are both very, very up front with one another. I'm very well...'
