Enneagram Type and MBTI Type Compared (Statistics)

New data collected on 27/11/2015

So, i did some stat collection/analysis with the same Advanced User Search function @Dalton used. I've been at it for a long time, and i am SO TIRED of it that i canNOT go through the entire thing and do another chart with the wings. Sorry, but you'll have to deal with only the 9 types :/

What i did was search up every single combination possible between the 27 Enneagram options and the 16 MBTI options. I added the number of people with wings onto the main type.

So if 355 INFPs are 4w3, then that 335 will go directly into the Type 4 column for INFP.

The chart below shows the percentages of each Enneagram type within each MBTI type.

So, 41.7 under ENFJ and Type 2 means that 41.7% of the ENFJs registered on PerC who have also filled out their Enneagram field, are Type 2, 2w1, or 2w3.

The Total column on the right side show how common each Enneagram type is in PerC, by percent.



You're more than welcome to give any suggestions or comment on which results surprised you, or just have a better view of it, here on Google Sheets.

This second chart shows the raw data, not percent, and the colours still show how many people of one Enneagram type are part of one MBTI type.



The link for that is here.

I'll organize the stats the other way round later...

Enjoy the updated info ^-^ and ur welcome haha

Correlations-wise, I think 5 gets sold as an INTJ type way, way too much. It's a trivial superifical typing, sure, especially insofar that many people who fancy themselves INTJ fancy themselves to be impartial and logical and whatnot. But I don't think it's the real thing much.

Consider David Daniels' keywords for the centers of intelligence, for example:

Thinking Center Key Words: Security, Safety, Certainty, Assurance, Predictability, and Opportunity.

At least for me, they don't do much. Certainty and opportunity, maybe a bit. But overall it's a resounding "meh".
They don't seem like very Ni-Te-Fi-Se things, to me, in a general sense.

Heart Center Key Words: Love, Connection, Affection, Bonding, Image, and Approval

Connection, Affection, Love, Bonding? Don't really fit the typical NTJ image from the greats and theory. Personally, it's getting there, but something's a smidge wro-

Body Center Key Words: Worth, Congruence, Protection, Comfort, Harmony, and Belonging

Oh my fucking god fireworks. Worth. Yess. Congruence and belonging absolutely nail those tingles from earlier. The part somewhere in the back of my head that's intrigued by the spiritual is after congruence and harmony with the world, a sense of belonging in it.

More interesting than little old me, though, is the words Worth and Congruence, especially as they contrast to the words describing Thinking Center mentality. Now, look at many typical INTJ exemplars. How many of them are after some kind of security or safety? I'd say surprisingly few. You see the kind of "thought we can rely on" type pattern a lot more with the NTPs. Very 5w6 stuff. But not very NTJ. Just look at the CT.com page. A quest of worth, a desire for congruence all over the place, a bias for action.

I'd campaign for 1w9 as the default INTJ type over the current 5.
