I'm curious to know where you guys are placed amongst the Enneagram's Types.

Take this test, it takes about 3-10 mins to take probably more like 5: Enneagram Testing

How is the Enneagram typology created? Enneagram Institute's Intro Page

Want to just get the gist of the enneagram types? download this chart: Enneagram Typology Chart link You may have to get a membership, but its free and theres nothing bad that comes of it. I actually like the Enneathought of the Day, as its very helpful for self-help purposes.

Need a better description? Click on a number from the illustration from the Enneagram Institute's Home Page (Click me!)

I took the test once or twice...it was type 5...I think, with a winger-ma-jiggie 4.

Ohh...this test gives me

Type 5 - 11.3
Type 8 - 8
Type 3 - 7.7
Type 4 - 7
Type 9 - 6.3
Type 6 - 6

Wing 5w4 - 14.8
Wing 5w6 - 14.3
Wing 4w5 - 12.7
Wing 6w5 - 11.7
Wing 8w9 - 11.2
Wing 3w4 - 11.2
Wing 4w3 - 10.9
Wing 8w7 - 10.5
Wing 9w8 - 10.3
Wing 3w2 - 8.7
Wing 6w7 - 8.5
Wing 9w1 - 7.2

....which seems to make more sense than just '7' for an ISTP.

After a bit more research I'd probably put myself down as a 5w6 4w3 8w7.

Although I'd have to do more research to be really sure about that.

Type 5 - 10.7
Type 9 - 9.3
Type 7 - 6
Type 6 - 2.3
Type 4 - 1.7

Wing 5w6 - 11.9
Wing 5w4 - 11.6
Wing 9w8 - 10
Wing 9w1 - 9.8
Wing 6w5 - 7.7
Wing 7w6 - 7.2
Wing 4w5 - 7.1
Wing 7w8 - 6.7
Wing 6w7 - 5.3
Wing 4w3 - 1.7

Added: I took the instinctual variants test and it said I'm most likely a Type 5 with balanced wings, and a sexual variant.

Last time I took it (different site) I had a self preservation variant. Meh, whatever.

I don't know...reading those sub-types, I identify with things from 5w4 and 5w6.
 
#11 ·
Wing 8w7 - 13.1
Wing 8w9 - 12.6
Wing 7w8 - 10.1
Wing 5w4 - 9.4
Wing 9w8 - 9.1
Wing 5w6 - 9.1
Wing 7w6 - 5.1
Wing 9w1 - 4.7

That was a pretty good test. I usually mistype when a test places too much emphasis on the eight as an extrovert.

Type 8 - 10
Type 6 - 8.3
Type 5 - 7.3
Type 4 - 6.3

Type 7 - 4.3

Wing 8w7 - 12.2
Wing 8w9 - 12.2
Wing 6w5 - 12
Wing 5w6 - 11.5
Wing 6w7 - 10.5

Wing 9w8 - 9.3
Wing 7w6 - 8.5
Wing 4w3 - 7.5
Wing 9w1 - 5.2

I always figured the 8w9 description fit me best, and according to this it does, though tied with 8w7.

but then I took the Instinctual variant test, and it said I was a type 5 with balanced wings and a social variant. What does balanced wings mean?

Means you're just a five, not a 5w4 or 5w6.

On the second test, it said type 5w6 Sp/Sx.

And the first test,

Wing 5w6 - 13.9
Wing 5w4 - 13.4
Wing 9w8 - 11
Wing 9w1 - 10.4
Wing 6w5 - 10.2
Wing 4w5 - 9.2
Wing 6w7 - 5.7
Wing 4w3 - 3.5

That seems to fit.

Hmmm...I don't know. I don't understand this like I understand Myers Briggs. I'm going to read up on it later.

i guess this was a waste of time... **edit: i just saw that i could still read what a type 5 was. i thought basically it was saying nothing. didnt know the scores links were to the types. haha**

"You are most likely a type 5.

Taking wings into account, you seem to be a 8w7 or 8w9.

It is not clear from these test results which Enneagram type and wing you are."

**edit again: this is very true of me "They sometimes deal with this by developing a minimalistic lifestyle in which they make few demands on others in exchange for few demands being made on them." other than that i find that it doesn't really describe me. it's a little over the top. i do see some truth behind some of the findings, but i don't feel that it really fits besides what i just quoted here. **

**last fucking edit, i promise: type 8 was my second highest score. a lot of that fits me, but im not controlling and never angry or enraged. im like a mix between 5 and 8 with a side of apathy. i'm too laid back to be a full 8. but when im going for something, like a win, im very aggressive and competitive. i have no desire to control anyone at all. sink or swin, fuck 'em. **

I may be 5w6 but I couldn't be bothered taking the test again so I chose the last option on the poll:p

When 5s grow they start to look more like an 8 but I'm currently too introverted to consider myself an 8.

You are most likely a type 5.
Taking wings into account, you seem to be a 9w8.

That was result the first (and the last) test . Stupid questions :p half of them were like "I don't know" / "what that supposed to mean" / "give me a settings of the question" and couple what I didn't understand accurately. Anyway I don't give a much weight to this enneagram movement.

It seems that 9w8 is co-worker me or something didn't found much connection to it. Description 5 tho is definitely more accurate. This whole enneagram thing seems to me kind of "Isn't mysterious isn't, you must buy this book to find secred you and become true lover of the universe nonsense=crap "
