'My parents really couldn't live together, they've been divorced for about 16 years now.   I never thought of my mother as particularly power-seeking; for type 2, I saw it described as...|||All of the Fauvre material that's included here was collected from around the web, where it had been reposted on forums, etc.  I wrote none of it.  Just compiled it.|||TiNi on 5, Se on 3, 8 and 7.  Inferior-Fe would also be on type 5 for me, but for the unhealthier aspects of type 5.|||I get along with ISTPs, although I also experience the boring huh? what do we talk about? chemistry.  But the fact that we're just sitting there not talking is not a bad thing.  We'll talk when we...|||I've always known that I have a 5-fix.  There is no question about it, and no one has ever challenged me on it.  What I had to discover was if I was a core-5.  It turns out, I am.  But I explored...|||It's not so much a negative connotation.  It's just I don't feel like I champion something, even when I'm actively involved in a group.  I've always been more of the behind-the-scenes type. ...|||Is there an indifferent option?|||I had one comment about the changes made (which were otherwise very good):    Championing is kind of throwing me off here.  What does championing entail in this context?  I have a feeling...|||http://www.politicalcompass.org/facebook/pcgraphpng.php?ec=0.62&soc=-1.74  I think I'm much more moderate than I was the last time I took the test.|||As to the list, I would say I agree with A, B, and H as well, and maybe G.  However, I am not well-read on the science behind it all, so I won't say yea or nay about G without researching more.  I...|||It was to Pythagoras.  What a weirdo: Pythagoreanism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia|||I've never been particularly proud of my Enneatype, but I haven't been ashamed of it either.  It is what it is.  It is a badge on this network of personality forums.  But IRL?  No.  For one, no one...|||I want my archetype to be renamed The Super-villain, so that my evil plot to take over the world will be justified.|||Again, this is too vague, and I don't know if this is true or not.  I know it isn't for me.  More often than not, I feel overwhelmed by being part of something and all it entails.  I am overwhelmed...|||I relate to both Gryffindor and Ravenclaw.  I tested as Ravenclaw on Pottermore.|||Yeah, there is just little info on some tritypes/archetypes/whatevers, period.  Which is disappointing.|||My experience is very similar to other responses.  When I was younger, I dressed like a boy, I chopped my hair short and wore hats all the time.  It's only been recently that I've felt comfortable...|||It really depends if PerC or other forums such is this is where you get SO-fulfillment.  Many people seem obviously to get their fulfillment from here, which is why they take it so seriously, and why...|||Are you having fun? Are you sure??? :dry:|||The next person who tells me to smile is getting slapped.|||I've been told I have a gaze of death.|||1. About first 18 years of my life, shit happened. 2. Took a random online test from another forum and got ISTP. 3. Forgot about it. 4. Picked up a copy of Type Talk on my aunt's coffee table one...|||Nothing recently, but when it was on TV, I watched Alias, which was my guilty pleasure.  Talk about convoluted and over the top, plus the fact that all the characters but one were idiots.  But, for a...|||This one, it seems too vague and general for me.  For this one, I would probably say maybe.    Yes, but I may not always realize it in the moment of that decision, and might realize it only...|||538 and I'd give myself 4/5 to 5/5.  Probably more 4/5 now, because I've lightened up significantly.  It was a conscious effort, because no one wants to do anything with a lunatic obsessed with...|||Where are you getting these numbers?|||Storm Front, by Jim Butcher|||It's an arbitrary title chosen for that archetype, the 379 (and all combinations thereof).  I really don't put much stock in the labels themselves.  They don't really tell you anything about what the...|||80 pages of witch-hunting.  O_O  http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_me9l7mfF511rxwarf.gif|||I kind of sit on the border between two of these archetypes, the Solution Master and the Thinker, which makes sense because I'm on the border between 8w9 and 9w8 as my gut-fix.  I am the Solution...|||I like some of the SO suggestions Boss made a page or two ago.  But I plan on giving it another look and see I have any more.|||Umber just reminded me of one aspect of my thought process...the internal debate!  I do often argue with myself...I weigh all sides and look at all angles...something I actively pursue.  I play...|||One thing about SP that maybe we can brainstorm into a question...both my parents are SP-first, but how it manifests is wildly different.  My dad is obsessed with money and finances, self-sufficiency...|||True.  But when I was unhealthy, I was more antisocial than I am now.  But you're right in that I still have those tendencies.|||Hey, SOM, these questions are not bad.  Maybe you can work into these that with some SO-types, when unhealthy, they can actually be anti-social and anti-group.  That's the route that I went, rather...|||These typings have been fine-tuned and are always subject to change, but my best guess so far:  Me: 5w6 3w4 8w9 SO/SP, ISTP  Dad: 8w9 6w5 2w? SP, ISTP Mom: 2w1 9w1 5w? SP, INFJ Sister: 1w2 3w?...|||Precisely, well said!  I always tell people who are new to Enneagram to find their core type first, because I made the same mistake.  I had the same warning, but I had to learn the hard way.  It took...|||O_o  How can she stop thinking?   I'm an insomniac, because I can't get my brain to shut off.  Can she teach me the secret?|||There is already a group like that...the Object Relations triads.  1, 4, and 7 are grouped together in the frustration for the very reason that you mention .|||Brain chatter...hmmm, I do think way too much, but it's not typically with the 7-ish randomness.  In fact, it's often with such a focus that no random chatter is allowed.  Like, right now, typing...|||Short answer: No, we don't need tritypes.    Long answer: No, we don't need them, but I've found them fun to explore and useful at times.  There's nothing inherently wrong with the theory itself. ...|||We're dominantly Ti, so dominantly J.  It's not uncommon.  The whole J/P dichotomy is a big problem with the theory.|||Yes, agreed.  And being core-5 doesn't help matters either.      In that case, I do agree with this, and I do this as well.  Everything except the last part.  If someone were to mention to me,...|||Yes, I do see this as SOC-last.  I feel the same way about SX.  These questions that you raise, I understand.  But they are much more pointed for me.  I thought at many times, why does this SO stuff...|||I'm not overly concerned with physical safety.  I mean, I'm not a reckless daredevil.  I'm actually quite cautious.  I just don't worry about it that much.  But I need my comfort too.  As soon as I...|||No!  Don't feel like a whiner.  You're not.  I just have certain ideas about how to raise kids, and I just think no child should ever be told what you were.  Just for the fact of giving them a...|||You're welcome.      Funny thing about that.  I think I've mentioned this before on another thread, but I first typed at SP/SX in instincts.  It's almost laughable to me now.      :shocked:...|||Thank you.  :)  Yeah go for it.  If there ever were a place, it's here.  I think it would be helpful to  leafstone to hear some different perspectives.|||No, I haven't seen it before.  This is spot-on.  Thanks!|||I appreciate what you're saying, but I think you may be misunderstanding to a small extent.  I wouldn't say I'm obsessing over it.
