Enneagram and related topics.

What is the Enneagram?

The Enneagram is a model of human personality

based on nine types. A basic introduction to the

system can be found at The Enneagram Institute

Enneagram-related research can be found hereand here.

How to find your type

As with the MBTI, research will be more reliable

than tests, though tests may give one an idea of 

where to begin looking.

This Duniho Enneagram Test  may be useful in

determining your type. It might be necessary to

retake the test a few times before you can narrow

down your type.

Idea: Uniting Socionics and Enneagram(Tentative)  (self.Enneagram)

submitted 2 years ago * by QDesjardin   4w5

Tentative Idea: For those familiar with

Socionics, here is my idea.

The mental ring  - information which is

consciously digested through the

ego/superego-block - this contains the

individual's core fixation, and core

instinctual stacking.I am an INFp  in Socionics terms, and my

core SP 4-fixation is there in my

Introverted Intuition + Extraverted Ethics

expressions.

Meanwhile, the vital ring  - the region where

information is unconsciously processed,

complementing the mental ring -- this

contains the individual's wing, and

secondary fixation. I have a 5 wing, and

I'm sp /sx. Inside every INFp, there is an

ESTp waiting to get out.

So I am a 4w5, sp/sx.

I think you have have it where they correlate

(like what 2,  6, 9 would be likely for IEE) but

you couldn't go much more in-depth than that.

The systems are very very too different.

Enneagram is like a barebones self-improvement

based system, and socionics is incredibly

complex and more focused on external

interrelationships.

That being said, here are people I know

(socionics are the three letters so it doesn't get

Socionics and Enneagram are describing very

different things, so I don't see how they can be

united. Socionics is about information

metabolism, the way people receive,

understand, process, metabolize, and

communicate information. Enneagram is about

fixations, motivations, core fears, neuroses - it's

based on emotions. Basically they apply to very

different areas of the brain, so there is very littlecorrespondence between the two.

The thing is certain socionics/myers briggs types

relate to multiple enneagrams.

INTJs are frequently 1s, 5s, and 8s

ENTJs are usually 3s or 8s

ESTJ 3s or 8ISTJ 1, 9

INFP, 4s, 9s

INFJ, 4s, 1s,

ENFP, 4, 6, 7, 8

ENFJ, 1, 2, 3

ENTP, 6, 7, 8

INTP, 5, 6,

ESTP, 6, 7, 8

ISTP, 5, 9

ISFJ, 1, 9

ESFJ, 1, 2, 3,

etc. etc.
