I understand at the base what the difference between 1's and 8's are. I get the basic stuff, but the one thing that throws me off is every so often I meet people. Usually male, who I can't tell which one they are. Sometimes I think they are 8's (or possibly CP-6) with a tendency to nitpick at...

Hey everyone! I went to see a new therapist today and she almost immediately saw a lot of build-up anger in me created by my inability to let my inner-critic stray away from doing what I truly wanted in life. It seems that I have been cultivating a pretty rigid beliefs about my ability to...

Hi! I'm an INTJ and I'm desperately trying to figure out my enneagram type. I've taken multiple quizzes and come up with 5 or 1 every time, but I can't seem to figure which is the best fit. *disclaimer, I just heard about the enneagram types last week, and I am not as familiar with all the...

Hey, I'm posting this to the 8, 9, and 1 threads in hope of some insight. I'm stuck in between these three types as my gut type, and thought it would be best to ask the gut types themselves for more info in this. I'm currently stuck between these three as my gut type: 9w8, 8w9, and 1w9. So my...

My Gut Type: Either 8w9, 9w8, or 1w9. Plz help. I'm currently stuck between these three as my gut type: 9w8, 8w9, and 1w9. So my entire type would look like one of these combinations. - ENTP 7w8 9w8 3w4 sx/so - ENTP 7w8 8w9 3w4 sx/so - ENTP 7w8 1w9 3w4 sx/so Is there any way someone could...

Woops, sorry. This was posted prematurely. Ignore it. :P

Taken from the EnneaApp by Lori Ohlson. I'm unsure if this has been posted on PerC before, but I wanted to share in case it isn't. Type 1 These children felt heavily criticized, punished, or not good enough. Household rules may have felt inconsistent. As such, they became obsessed with being...

I've been trying to figure out my friends gut type with his corresponding wing, but to no avail. He is a perfectionist and cares a great deal about self improvement. However, he doesn't do it for moral reasons and doesn't consider himself immoral if he doesn't do the right thing. My friend...

Well this probably isn't right but meh.

I finally found out that I'm an INFJ combined with Enneagram Tritype 6w5-4w5-1w2 sp/so. But for me it's difficult to combine these two different systems. Which traits are due to Enneagram and which are from MBTI? It would help a lot if somebody is able to write a description of this specific...

-What do 8s think about 5s? -What do 8s think about 1s?

Which type you are & which type do you admire and why I'm a 5w4 I admire 8, specifically social 8. Though, I'm very influence by the 8 enneatype". Why I admire them? Well, fist of all I love people who actually work for something, to achieve something. Also I think people who are leaders are...

Hi! I enjoy writing in my free time, and I'm curious about the relationships between the different enneagram types. It would be awesome if everybody wrote down which enneagram type you are and the enneagram types of the people whom you carry on close relationship, could be friends, your couple...

I'm curious as to if there's a trend here or not. I have my theories, but we'll see.

Hello to everyone. I have two problems: First Problem: I'm pushy, give my advice even when nobody asked for it, and try to convince people of doing things on the right way: I'm 1w2 (INTJ with a very weak "I") and I fully find myself as a E1, with a lot of problems of critizism (towards myself...

Am I an ENTJ, ENFJ, or maybe even INTJ? Help requested! Hello everyone! I'm new here and I'm an ENxJ. Frankly, that's why I joined the site. I have taken countless free online MBTI quizzes and they can never seem to decide whether I am ENTJ or ENFJ. It's always quite close. I'm extremely N and...

Hello everyone! I'm new here and I'm an ENxJ. Frankly, that's why I joined the site. I have taken countless free online MBTI quizzes and they can never seem to decide whether I am ENTJ or ENFJ. It's always quite close. I'm extremely N and moderately strongly J. I'm slightly more E than I, but...

To begin, it's about trying to understand a particular ISTJ I know of. I'm an INTP and my sister is an ISTJ. I know we do have quite a few differences that I could understand in terms of making decisions, but sometimes there are habits of hers I don't quite get and hope that I could get some...

I've noticed that, in addition to myself, other 1w9s I've met are sarcastic and fun within conversation. I know I'm rigid in my life and pretty harsh on myself, but that doesn't affect my sense of humor. I've heard through the grapevine that some people think 1s are boring, but I would disagree...
