'Why does everyone type Kirk as an ESTP? That man's an intellectual. Definite ENTJ, though with 8w7 (or possibly 7w8) as Enneagram type, I admit he comes across a bit ESTP-ish. Still, contrary to his...|||I know how you feel. The INTJ forum mostly seems rather boring to me. It just lacks the enthusiasm and energy that is always part of a seven discussion.  There might be different reasons for why...|||I'm not dissecting what you said because I don't think that would get us anywhere. This is not about this particular post. It is about an underlying trend that is at the heart of most of your posts,...|||Once upon a time, we thought that Enneagram was about motivation, not behavior. What happened to that?   Also, how many more threads are you going to open in order to prove to yourself that your...|||I can't see you as anything but a thinker. You build up your arguments logically, and are very focused on amassing facts, with hardly any mention of feelings. Apart from that, INFPs have a sort of...|||Usually the enter key should work, but I've occasionally had problems on other computers with this as well. Maybe try a different browser.  Quite honestly you don't sound like an INFP to me. They...|||You're almost certainly an INFJ. You have the concise writing style of the J types; perceivers, and especially Ne-users, tend to ramble. Also, your style of processing information is very much Ni:...|||I was like that. I only recently realized that that was because I felt insecure and unlovable. I wanted others to prove to me that they care for me in the most extreme way possible, because in my...|||I must admit that I'm a bit biased, because I've done a lot of self discovery recently. It turned out that for me, a lot of how I perceived others treating me was actually based on my personal fears...|||You're not weird. There is nothing wrong with your behavior.  The really important question, however, is: Are you happy with the way you live? If you have anxiety and negative thinking, quite...|||I think every type could be manipulative, though for different reasons. What you describe sounds like this person is insecure towards women, and tries to compensate by somehow gaining an advantage...|||type 7:   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHK1erAT5AQ  not so much because of the lyrics, but more because of the general feeling of the song, and the video.  type 8:|||type 4:   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDqG9agd5wc  type 5:   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUZqzhVemxw|||Type 1:   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGdxiN2hIFc  This is an interpretation of an old Okinawan song. The lyrics are confucian teachings.   Type 2:|||My username is German for elder (sambucus). The smell of elder flowers is my favorite smell in the world. This is my standard online name since basically forever.    My avatar is from the German...|||Personally, I think we should try to transcend who we are; personality theories can be a tool to show us how we can do this, because they can show us the way we work. Our Enneagram or MBTI type is...|||The problem that I see is that though you want to have these people have the characteristics of the Enneagram types, you have given each of them a fate that can be used as an explanation for their...|||The Frozen One Razare   Thank you for answering. I'm afraid you rather missed the point of my post, but I was writing in a hurry, so I probably didn't get it across properly. It's fine that I fell...|||Hi,  the following issue might not seem like much to many people, but it's very important to me, and I would be very thankful for any opinions.  The thing is this: I fell in love with a coworker....|||I can't at all agree with the description of the seven childhood. My parents were from the beginning subtly blackmailing me, my mother let her frustration out on her family, and my father used me to...|||You're a bit hard to type, but I think you are xNTJ - probably ENTJ. You focus on overarching ideas and concepts, but in a very methodical way, which suggests NJ. You don't talk about feelings much...|||The type seven description is not bad, but I'm convinced sevens feel less entitled to love and especially to being well regarded than others. They probably don't care much about the latter. And while...|||No, it isn't. ENTPs have a tendency to test as sevens, because the two types share some outward characteristics, but you don't sound like a seven at all. If you honestly want to know your type, look...|||Not at all!    Do not make the mistake of confusing behavior and motivation. Different people express the same things in different ways. For example, some people, when angry, would shout at...|||Apart from the very occasional exception, YES! I can easily spot other sevens, and even if we're actually very different people, there is always that spark there. Sevens have that intensity that...|||I agree that this is the influence of your feeling function, but these are clearly Fe goals. You are thinking of values for the whole humanity - that concept is alien to Fi, because Fi sees moral...|||I hope you had a nice holiday. :happy: But just out of curiosity, what does one do for several days at Versailles?  It's not like an ENFP could not talk about ideas rather than feelings, but if...|||I'd say you are an ENTP. You seem to collect data from outside and then spend time contemplating it, which suggests you mainly use an extraverted perceiving function and introverted judging function....|||I've had too much of the second one, both in myself and my mother, who used this as emotional leverage. I actually like people who brag, as long as they are really confident and not only hiding their...|||Six.You're concerned about your relationship with others a lot and mostly seek a stable and secure position in life. I'd be quite surprised if you'd be anything than a six.|||Not only am I an INTJ 7, I also work for an INFJ 8. He constantly forgets about my Emails and tries to be fatherly to and protective of me whenever he does happen to have time for me. That's pretty...|||Love what you do. Do what you love. - type 7|||I'm not going to push this. (I don't have the time just now anyway.) This was only my impression - not only from this thread, but generally - and still is. Make of that what you want.  However, my...|||My point is that not even most Id types are like that. This is the kind of negative stereotype that is around, but that we should actually fight against, because it simply isn't true for the...|||I can think of other reasons to relate to this, and they're not ones to be proud of.  In any case, thank you for spreading the word that Id-types are unapologetic gluttons. We can never have enough...|||Sorry, I can't really agree to the seven one. It sounds like I plan for the future all the time because something unexpected could happen and that would upset me. But in fact the planning thing is...|||I very much doubt that so many INTJs are fives. Fives and INTJs share some outward characteristics, which is why INTJs will often test as fives, even though most of them aren't. (I test very high on...|||You flatter me. :proud: Where do you live, anyway, if I may ask? (We can take this to PM, if you prefer.)|||That is Ni talking. Internally, to Ni nothing has a definite substance. Everything is only defined by it's relationship with everything else, and by the perspective you use to look at it. I believe,...|||What sense would decisions based on logic alone make? Logic is a tool that connects the pieces, but it is useless without pieces to connect. Those values make you the person you are. I'd always...|||You may not be that aware of it, but there are always moral assumptions underlying our ideas and actions. As INTJs, we bind them together with logic, and arrange our world view in a consistent way....|||They may not be values concerning love and justice, but they are very pronounced, unchangeable and personal values. In fact, they are so strongly pronounced that I would consider Enneagram type 1.|||ENTJs are usually proud of their people skills, which I don't see here. And INTJs usually are very rigid about their values (which leads to them often being perceived as arrogant), because as...|||You organized the OP into lists, so you're an INTJ. :wink:  You have the communication style of an INTJ, concise and to the point - INTPs are more meandering in their communication. You seem to...|||I'm asleep already, and this is my dream. It's a really weird one, actually.|||It's strangely fitting. I like the lemon for sevens. The only one I can't quite see is cherry for type one. Could you explain that one?|||I have thought about suicide, but to me it was mostly for the sake of having another option. As a seven, I hate to have no choices, to be forced onto a certain path. To think that I always have the...|||I can't say for the other types, but the seven description is quite good. Not a single wrong stereotype to be found, and I can relate to everything.|||The biggest problem will probably be to get people to use it, because many people don't use something because it is the best product but because it is popular, especially when it comes to social...|||A much higher death toll?'
