My social life changed...|||Just stumbled across this thread and really wanted to contribute! Sorry I'm years tardy to the party.  Overall I'm impressed by how much  Dyidia was able to point out about the e3 inner experience....|||I agree with Database error, when a 3 is healthy they think in terms of 'we' like a 6 does.

I've sort of had a hunch this combo might actually not work that well for promoting growth (especially for the 9), but I've read so many posts on here about 9s and 6s being...|||I've seen these types of relationships create lots of strong emotions -- good and bad, rarely ever neutral.   My dad is an 8 and my mom is a 2. They absolutely adore each other. He's like her...|||- Favorite heart type: 3w4. Not to toot my own horn, but I really do like this type. When healthier, 3w4s are sexy and they know it (in a very unpretentious way). They inspire the people around them...|||Got a thing for a 3w4 Sx dom? ;)|||Agreed. Excellent post, OP.|||I agree with Quang that airing expectations in close relationships are way more important than understanding your instinctual stackings. I also think general dynamics between enneagram types are much...|||I wonder the same thing when I read posts complaining about the subjectivity of discussion topics. Keep it movin if you ain't got the goods to argue/share/defend a point of view.     Scelerat...|||Ha! So I've been told!|||I can't even count the number of times I've said this to the 9s in my life!|||I think we're all just rattling off our likes and dislikes in relation to enneagram type diplays. It's not a quantifiable/logical science. I listed some people whose tritypes I know and have strong...|||Now that I think about it, I guess I like people with 9 fixes.  953: All kinds of everything. *sigh* Smart, easy going, friendly and unexpectedly sarcastic-funny once the shyness wears off 927:...|||I'm entirely sure I'm a 3w4.  My highest scoring love language is acts of service, followed closely by physical touch.  I could do without words of affirmation.|||So many of you guys don't like 386. We're nice underneath all the pushiness, I swear!|||I'm an 8 and I have a pretty close relationship with a 5. At our best we're amazing together. He calms me down and I fire him up. We're exactly what the other needs. We're both pretty healthy, I'd...|||We love you guys!|||I was wondering the same thing! Maybe we are not (speaking as an ES/NTJ) the first types that come to mind when people think of enjoyable relationship material? I know I have a habit of relegating my...|||Al Green. Feeling kind of nostalgic today.|||Very good list. I agree with pretty much every description.|||When I flirt it's pretty darn obvious. I like to put the guy on the spot, crack some jokes directed at him, and gauge his level of comfort and confidence replying. I also prefer to be the one to come...|||I have a crush on a long time ISTP friend. Personality-wise we go together like PB and J, but for factors unrelated, we're not cut out for each other.|||Dear ISTP,  Thanks, but my appreciation is not the gist of this post.  This is: The top half is better.  Sincerely, ENTJ|||My sense of humor is pretty crass, think Chris Rock style comedy. Stuff I can't watch around just anybody.|||Dear ISTP,   Even though you say you don't want to argue with us, you secretly enjoy the challenge. What other type has you bobbing and weaving like we do?  Sincerely, An ENTJ, on behalf of all...|||I'm considering an ISTP at the moment, but beyond the attraction we have going on right now, I can see how he'd get boring fast. Sometimes I have to water down concepts so he can understand them,...|||One of my close friends is an ENFJ. We're both confident and assertive. She focuses more on people's feelings, motivations, etc. and I'm more about the objective facts in any situation. We were great...|||My brother is an INFP and I think he's an absolute sweetheart. He annoys me when he throws out impractical, head-in-the-cloud ideas when we're discussing serious issues, but often times I'm able to...|||The main ways I can tell someone is there for me is if they are extremely discreet with any vulnerabilities I share with them and they are brutally honest and direct in pointing out when I eff up...|||I agree that getting close to an ISTP feels like an honor, probably because they are usually so private. If he's letting you stick around it means he likes you and if he's willing to make time to...|||Just watched the movie and in my head I was typing them the whole time!   I'm pretty sure Nick was an ISTP. He was a simple guy, wasn't very outwardly emotionally expressive, brutally honest, and a...|||87.5 Masculine 33.33 Feminine 55 Androgynous  Hmm.
