Starting with your USER name (didn't think I had to specify since,I assume none of us go by our real names) accomplishes the main thing I'm interested in... That being who (on this forum) shares the same enneagram, this might help people to relate to one another better.AbioticPrime 5w4 3w4 8w7
What is stating our names going to accomplish? Unless you're claiming that 2eng2009 is your actual name, in which case I am honored to have met a cyborg.

Oh I see, you're going to assemble a list. Not a bad idea. Yeah, I understood username I was yanking your chain (clearly my real name isn't AbioticPrime, as I listed).Starting with your USER name (didn't think I had to specify since,I assume none of us go by our real names) accomplishes the main thing I'm interested in...

And yes, while the link you provided is similar, it's not what I am looking for. I like the way the list is assembled in the ENFP forum, it's clean and easy to read quickly. The link that you provided would require too much work imo.
Yeah, I was having a discussion with a friend about this the other day. We [all enneagram doubters] either don't understand it well enough or it truly is BS. I can closely identify with over half of them, similar to zodiac symbols. I recall reading type 8 -- oh, yeah that's the one that I am. Then I read type 3 -- no wait, this is me. Etc.You are a Type 3 with a 2 wing: "The Charmer"
Your tritype is 3w2, 6w5, 8w9.
OFFS, I give in with this enneagram sh**
In a sense it's true, it just feels like enneagrams can change based on the stage in the life and the decisions you make about yourself.
This was the impression I had as well, until @n2freedom set it straight for me.You are a Type 3 with a 2 wing: "The Charmer"

@Thomas60 ... Enneagram is not about behaviors. I wouldn't get caught up into the descriptions. As different types can share similar behaviors, it IS the motivations, desires, and fears where the distinct differences lie. Enneagram is nothing like zodiac ... it really takes time and an investment to understand the Enneagram. A casual glance won't give you a clear understanding of how it works or the insights that it can offer.Yeah, I was having a discussion with a friend about this the other day.

It's rooted in issues of shame and the struggle to compensate for it. According to R&H, "the heart triad (enneatypes 2,3, and 4) in general are concerned with self-image (attachment to the false or assumed self of personality). They believe that the stories about themselves and their assumed qualities are their actual identity. Underneath their ego defenses these types carry a great deal of shame."Ok, I found it: Enneagram Type 3 - The Achiever
"Threes can sometimes mistype themselves when they mistake the more superficial features of their personalities as indicators of their type. So, for instance, an intellectual Three might mistype as a Five; a Three who is devoted to her role as mother might think she is a Two; a Three in a leadership position might mistype as an Eight and so on. Regardless of the manifestation however, the core of the type Three fixation is the deep need for external validation."

Both extremely helpful. Thank you, will look into it!@Thomas60 ... Enneagram is not about behaviors. I wouldn't get caught up into the descriptions.

I was thinking that because they like the external validation via "charming", they learn a great deal about people. For instance, a 3 might charm me differently than their boss, and charm a friend differently than a client, etc. etc. each person being different and requiring different charms. Perhaps they pick up on 7 traits when interacting with a 7, 5 traits when interacting with a 5, and so on?It's rooted in issues of shame and the struggle to compensate for it.

The heart triad is concerned with love of false self & self-image, have issues with Identity and Hostility, seeks attention, and have an underlying feeling of shame. So, yes I can see how threes can inadvertently mistype as another enneatype.
Damn that avatar is hot, hot, hot! Can you hook us up? LMAO! I'm lusting after your avatar.... *giggles* Whew! My, my, my oooh la la! :laughing::laughing::laughing::tongue:Both extremely helpful. Thank you, will look into it!
I see a lot of possible interplay between what you described and true narcissistic tendencies.It's rooted in issues of shame and the struggle to compensate for it.
