I can't work out my type. I feel like a 4w9.... or a 9w4. :,C

I can't see why not, I have a 9 fix too and I debated both types before correcting my instincts.
To determine your core, you can do a lot of reading, researching and introspecting until the answer will come. I like Naranjo, Ichazo, Maitri, Chestnut and will read Palmer soon. Not a fan of R&H

The stronger you feel towards something, whether in a positive way or wanting to rip out the pages, the closer you are. It's visceral but it pays off.

Follow your dreams. Shoot for the stars. You can be anything you want to be.

Is there really such a thing as '4w9'?

Here's what I got

Type 1 Orderliness |||||||||| 40%
Type 2 Helpfulness |||||||||||||| 60%
Type 3 Image Awareness |||||||||||||||| 63%
Type 4 Individuality |||||||||||||||||| 80%
Type 5 Rationality |||||||||||||| 56%
Type 6 Cautiousness |||||| 23%
Type 7 Adventurousness |||||||||||||||| 63%
Type 8 Aggressiveness |||||||||| 40%
Type 9 Calmness |||||||||||||||| 66%

type score type behavior motivation
4 24 I must be unique/different to survive.
9 20 I must maintain peace/calm to survive.
3 19 I must be impressive and attractive to survive.
7 19 I must be fun and entertained to survive.
2 18 I must be helpful and caring to survive.
5 17 I must be knowledgeable to survive.

Your main type is Type 4
Your variant stacking is spsxso

I've ALWAYS got 4w5 on enneagram tests but recently I get those resulst^ I see my third highest score is 3..could it be I'm 4w3 after all?

You can't be a "4w9" or a "9w4", or at least there's no real theory around that yet.

Let's say, theoretically, that your core type is 4.
You can either be a 4 with a 3 wing (4w3) or a 4 with a 5 wing (4w5). This is because 3 and 5 are side by side with the 4 and the enneagram 4 will work in the realm of 3 or 5. OR you could be a 9 with an 8 wing (9w8) or a 9 with a 1 wing (9w1)

HOWEVER! There's a thing called trifix.
The main enneagram theory is that you have a core type and two other types:
One MUST be a body/instinctual fix, one MUST be a head/thinking fix and one MUST be a heart/feeling fix. In what order, it depends on you as a person.

These are the heart fixes: 2, 3 and 4
These are the head fixes: 5, 6 and 7
These are the gut fixes: 8, 9 and 1

We apparently all have one of each. So you definitely could be a type 4 and a type 9.

Well, if you truly with it... Don't let anything fuck your happiness, be 4 and 9 if you want :^). But, although it, theoretically there's no 4w9 or viceversa, so, if you want the theoretical way, there's something called 'tritype', that picks up 3 different ennegram types and I got this for you:

http://personalitycafe.com/type-4-f...ion.html#/forumsite/20588/topics/79181?page=1

Take a look and see if you're identified or not, there's also another tritype(479) if you want to take a look on it.

Thank to this thread I started to search about it, and, I'm theorizing if I'm only 4w5 or 4-5-9, damn, identity confusion again <:^/
