Lately I have been trying to get people around PerC to explore the Enneagram forums. I started a few threads (i.e. Please Help) throughout all of the different MBTI forums. Among one of the comments that were left, someone left a list of statistics that was gathered from PerC via the community information (for more detail, click here.). I was greatly intrigued by the stats and took it upon myself to make a complete list.

MBTI and Enneagram, Unknowns Included:

MBTI and Enneagram, Unknown Personality: (click images to open original sizes)

MBTI and Enneagram, All Known: (click images to open original sizes)

Enneagram Types Common For Each MBTI Type: (click image to open original size)

This information was gathered on 19 January 2012 and is based off of the information that was provided from PerC users in their profiles. Please take into consideration of mistypes and the over representation of introverted users (who are more likely to be seen on these type of sites). I know there was already a chart with this information, but it was from 2010 (I believe). I thought an updated one would be nice.

From what I have seen, INFPs seem to be the most interested in MBTI-related topics. That is why we are so over-represented here. In real life, we are pretty hard to find.

INFPs tend not to be Ones, which could explain why I have trouble fitting in, even among my own kind. Interesting.

Type 3 is in eight position for INFP...not surprising at all. I expected INFP 1s to be more common, though. Fi's orientation to the individual makes many INFPs concerned about human rights & personal justice. Also, the way Fi-doms spend their lives creating& striving to live up to ideals that not many can(or, unfortunately, care to) reach seems to align itself with type 1 idealism. IMO, Fi could be correlated with 1 just as much as it is with 4.

I would have thought so too. It is possible that we are more common than we seem, but that we tend to test as fours because most Enneagram tests seem to associate One-ness with SJ-like questions that alienate us.

It took me a long time to realize I was a One. The tests kept misidentifying me based on my negative answers to some of the questions that might as well have asked "Do you act like a crazy, neat-freakish, list-making, 'take your fucking shoes off so they won't stain my spotless white carpet that I vacuumed twelve times today!' unhealthy SJ-type with extreme unmanaged OCD?"

edit: Maybe I do. I've already edited this post about nine times in an attempt to make sure it doesn't accidentally offend anyone.

So do I. There aren't many INFPs where I live. I've only met maybe three or four in my whole life.

@Nymma

I guess I feel that I differ from the others because they aren't as intense about things, and they don't get as upset about the more common, socially accepted forms of unfairness.

They are less likely to use words like "evil," "oppression," and "injustice" when describing anything but the very worst wrongs.
