Mine's a 9w1:
Keeping peace and harmony

Nines essentially feel a need for peace and harmony. They tend to avoid conflict at all costs, whether it be internal or interpersonal. As the potential for conflict in life is virtually ubiquitous, the Nine's desire to avoid it generally results in some degree of withdrawal from life, and many Nines are, in fact, introverted. Other Nines lead more active, social lives, but nevertheless remain to some to degree "checked out," or not fully involved, as if to insulate themselves from threats to their peace of mind.

Type nine, I think, 9w1 (SP variant).
Enneagram Type 9 - The Peacemaker

Keeping peace and harmony

Enneagram type 9 - The PeacemakerPeople of this personality type essentially feel a need for peace and harmony. They tend to avoid conflict at all costs, whether it be internal or interpersonal. As the potential for conflict in life is virtually ubiquitous, the Nine's desire to avoid it generally results in some degree of withdrawal from life, and many Nines are, in fact, introverted. Other Nines lead more active, social lives, but nevertheless remain to some to degree "checked out," or not fully involved, as if to insulate themselves from threats to their peace of mind. Most Nines are fairly easy going; they adopt a strategy of "going with the flow." They are generally reliable, sturdy, self-effacing, tolerant and likable individuals.

Nines tend to adopt an optimistic approach to life; they are, for the most part, trusting people who see the best in others; they frequently have a deep seated faith that things will somehow work out. They desire to feel connected, both to other people and to the world at large. They frequently feel most at home in nature and generally make warm and attentive parents.

The Nine's inability to tolerate conflict sometimes translates into an overall conservative approach to change. Change can provoke unpleasant feelings and disrupt the Nine's desire for comfort. Less healthy Nines seem incapable of motivating themselves to move into action and bring about effective change. When change does come however, as it generally will, Nines find that they are usually well able to adapt. They tend to be more resilient than they give themselves credit for. In fact, Nines tend not to give themselves enough credit in general, and their self-effacing attitude often seems to invite others to take them for granted or to overlook their often significant contributions. This can cause a subterranean anger to build inside the Nine's psyche, which can erupt into consciousness in occasional fits of temper which quickly blow over, but which more often manifests itself in passive agressive footdragging. Being overlooked is often a source of a deep sadness in Nines, a sadness that they scarcely ever give voice to.

Nines frequently mistype themselves as they have a rather diffuse sense of their own identities. This is exacerbated by the fact that Nines often merge with their loved ones and through a process of identification take on the characteristics of those closest to them. Female Nines frequently mistype as Twos, especially if they are the mothers are small children. Nines, however, are self-effacing whereas Twos are quite aware of their own self worth. Nines also mistake themselves for Fours, but Nines tend to avoid negative emotions whereas Fours often exacerbate them. Intellectual Nines, especially males, frequently mistype as Fives, but Fives are intellectually contentious whereas Nines are conciliatory and conflict avoidant.

Well what do you know... :smile:

5w6

[Taran Wanderer]

Hmm, more people need to post. I'll recruit some.

I tend to get a little obsessed with personality typologies. First it was Myers-Briggs/Keirsey, and these days it's the Enneagram. I might even like the Enneagram a bit better. It needs more attention!

Here's what the numbers mean:

1 - The Reformer: Rational, principled, self-controlled
2 - The Helper: Caring, generous, possessive
3 - The Achiever: Adaptable, ambitious, image-conscious
4 - The Individualist: Intuitive, aesthetic, self-absorbed
5 - The Investigator: Perceptive, innovative, detached
6 - The Loyalist: Engaging, responsible, defensive
7 - The Enthusiast: Upbeat, accomplished, impulsive
8 - The Challenger: Self-confident, decisive, domineering
9 - The Peacemaker: Receptive, reassuring, complacent

Helpers who need to be needed

Twos essentially feel that they are worthy insofar as they are helpful to others. Love is their highest ideal. Selflessness is their duty. Giving to others is their reason for being. Involved, socially aware, usually extroverted, Twos are the type of people who remember everyone's birthday and who go the extra mile to help out a co-worker, spouse or friend in need

and this is the start of 9...

Keeping peace and harmony

Nines essentially feel a need for peace and harmony. They tend to avoid conflict at all costs, whether it be internal or interpersonal. As the potential for conflict in life is virtually ubiquitous, the Nine's desire to avoid it generally results in some degree of withdrawal from life, and many Nines are, in fact, introverted.

Keeping peace and harmony

People of this personality type essentially feel a need for peace and harmony. They tend to avoid conflict at all costs, whether it be internal or interpersonal.. .

Thinkers who tend to withdraw and observe

People of this personality type essentially fear that they don't have enough inner strength to face life, so they tend to withdraw, to retreat into the safety and security of the mind where they can mentally prepare for their emergence into the world.

Identity seekers, who feel unique and different

People of this personality type tend to build their identities around their perception of themselves as being somehow different or unique; they are thus self-consciously individualistic. Fours tend to see their difference from others as being both a gift and a curse - a gift, because it sets them apart from those they perceive as being somehow "common," and a curse, as it so often seems to separate them from the simpler forms of happiness that others so readily seem to enjoy.

The Wing

No one is a pure personality type: everyone is a unique mixture of his or her basic type and usually one of the two types adjacent to it on the circumference of the Enneagram. One of the two types adjacent to your basic type is called your wing.

Your basic type dominates your overall personality, while the wing complements it and adds important, sometimes contradictory, elements to your total personality. Your wing is the "second side" of your personality, and it must be taken into consideration to better understand yourself or someone else. For example, if you are a personality type Nine, you will have likely have either a One-wing or an Eight-wing, and your personality as a whole can best be understood by considering the traits of the Nine as they uniquely blend with the traits of either the One or the Eight. In our teaching experience over the years, we have also encountered some individuals who seem to have both wings, while others are strongly influenced by their basic type and show little of either wing.


I personally think that there can be other types on the circle that are important for a person besides just their main type and their wings. Riso and Hudson say that 9s often mistype themselves as 5s, but I identify very strongly with the specific traits of both 9 and 5, so much so that I'm not entirely sure which one is dominant. So I usually like to find out people's top two because it gives me some added insight.

I'm glad you brought this up. I actually agree with 99% of this article. The Enneagram had shady origins--check. Enneagram teachers have some new agey beliefs--check. Jesus can't be subjected to Enneagramatic analysis--check. The Enneagram isn't based on scientific study--check, although Riso and Hudson claim that their test has been scientifically validated. For all we know, there could be more than nine types--check. Enneagram teachers' advice isn't completely biblical and certainly wasn't based on the Bible--check. It can be misused--check. Taking the Enneagram as a whole package is bad for your spiritual health, especially if it becomes your whole guide to personal growth--check.

But in my opinion you can strip out the bad elements and still have a worthwhile personality theory that can help you to spot some of your strengths and some of your weak points. And even some of its advice can be good. You just have to exercise discernment. That's the way I approach it.

Of course, to support that I'd have to go into all kinds of detail, which I will probably do someday but not now. In any case, for me it basically amounts to a pastime. So if you are opposed to the Enneagram, I understand, and it's all right with me if you want to have nothing to do with it.

Do you feel the same way about Myers-Briggs?

[Sparko]

I am not familiar with Myers-Briggs.

But any new-agey type personality test, that has a basis in some esoteric wacko theory of energy/personality seems to remind me of astrology and numerology, and to me that is something I want to avoid as a Christian. Even if you strip out all of the new agey stuff, you are playing with fire. Its like say I am going to a wiccan ceremony with some friends but we are gonna strip out all the religious stuff and pretend we are just going on a picnic and dancing around a campfire.

[bar Jonah]

Myers-Briggs is not New Agey. If it were, I wouldn't like it so much. I'm a former witch, and tend to be overly sensitive about not only New Age but even minor little superstitions and phrases. It's simply a description of various personality types, more complex than this Enneagram, considerably more accurate, but not perfect certainly. And it also sometimes gives some guidance (not hard and fast rules) on how different personality types can best get along and communicate. That's just dealing with human nature, no more, no less.

[luv1another]

John you don't agree with ennegrams but do you read books like Harry potter or others that have non Christian themes? do you swear sometimes? I think there are a whole lot of things Christians do that can be considered wrong and that they shouldn't do... I think if you consider it wrong you shouldn't do it... fo me I didn't take this seriously to me it's just like the which character are you quizes and such :shrug: and so to me I don't see a problem... however if someone starts basing their life around it then yes it's a problem.

well actually I don't read harry potter books. I tend to stay away from children's books, most of the time. heheh.

But I am not saying to aviod everything that is nonChristian. That would make me into zipperhead. I am saying don't embrace other spiritual and emotional practices that are decidedly not only not christian, but based in pagan beliefs.

So Christians should not mess with Tarot, Yoga, Transendental Meditation, Numerology, Spiritualism, Wicca, and stuff like this Enneagrams which is not merely a personality test but comes out of pagan new age beliefs and practices.

I'm a four. I used to consider myself to have a three wing. Now I'm more five-ish. *shrugs* I've found the internet to be highly populated by fives. By the way, I can tell if you're a five simply by examining your footwear. :D

Seriously, I took several courses on the Enneagram a few years ago. Virtually everyone in my (then) church, a Mennonite church, took the courses from a group of Benedictine sisters. Last month I finally sat down and transposed all of my old notes into a computer file. It just so happens that during the same week I was studying the nine Tarot constellations downstairs at my kitchen table. Lo and behold. They correspond. I found that quite interesting, but I suppose some Christians might find it alarming.

Conflicted between trust and distrust

People of this personality type essentially feel insecure, as though there is nothing quite steady enough to hold onto. At the core of the type Six personality is a kind of fear or anxiety. This anxiety has a very deep source and can manifest in a variety of different styles, making Sixes somewhat difficult to describe and to type. What all Sixes have in common however, is the fear rooted at the center of their personality, which manifests in worrying, and restless imaginings of everything that might go wrong. This tendency makes Sixes gifted at trouble shooting, but also robs the Six of much needed peace of mind and tends to deprive the personality of spontaneity. The essential anxiety at the core of the type Six fixation tends to permeate the personality with a sort of "defensive suspiciousness." Sixes don't trust easily; they are often ambivalent about others, until the person has absolutely proven herself, at which point they are likely to respond with steadfast loyalty. The loyalty of the Six is something of a two edged sword however, as Sixes are sometimes prone to stand by a friend, partner, job or cause even long after it is time to move on.

Sixes are generally looking for something or someone to believe in. This, combined with their general suspiciousness, gives rise to a complicated relationship to authority. The side of the Six which is looking for something to believe in, is often very susceptible to the temptation to turn authority over to an external source, whether it be in the form of an individual or a creed. But the Six's tendency towards distrust and suspicion works against any sort of faith in authority. Thus, two opposite pulls exist side by side in the personality of enneatype Six, and assume different proportions in different individuals, sometimes alternating within the same individual.

The truly confounding element when it comes to typing Sixes is that there are two fundamentally different strategies that Sixes adopt for dealing with fear. Some Sixes are basically phobic. Phobic Sixes are generally compliant, affiliative and cooperative. Other Sixes adopt the opposite strategy of dealing with fear, and become counterphobic, essentially taking a defiant stand against whatever they find threatening. This is the Six who takes on authority or who adopts a dare devil attitude towards physical danger. Counterphobic Sixes can be agressive and, rather than looking for authorities, can adopt a rebellious or anti-authoritarian demeanor. Counterphobic Sixes are often unaware of the fear that motivates their actions. In fact, Sixes in general, tend to be blind to the extent of their own anxiety. Because it is the constant back drop to all of their emotions, Sixes are frequently unaware of its existence, as they have nothing with which to contrast it.

Paradoxical results.
My spiritual director first typed me as a Nine, but she was wrong and Nine does not even show in my top six (of nine types).
Yes, I have typed as Seven before, and as One before, but testing eventually settled me as a Four wing Five. By the more complicated Enneagram nuances, a Four can indeed progress to a One and a One can progress to a Seven. Enneagram types don't necessarily settle and can be different in varying environments. For example, a Four under stress can fall into a negative sort of a Two (as opposed to the pleasant sort of a natural Two).

Did I stump all the Enneagram experts? Or does the Enneagram have too little following here on TWeb?
I myself think less of the Enneagram than I do of more scientific personality theories. In the Myers-Briggs I'm an ENTP (Extroverted Intuitive Thinking Perceptive) and in the Holland Vocational I'm EIA (Enterprising Investigative Artistic in descending order). The latter is also a very paradoxical type as the "E" and "I" stand at opposite corners of the Hexagon.

You are most likely a type 6.

Taking wings into account, you seem to be a 6w5.

Sixes essentially feel insecure, as though there is nothing quite steady enough to hold onto. At the core of the type Six personality is a kind of fear or anxiety. Sixes don't trust easily; they are often ambivalent about others, until the person has absolutely proven herself, at which point they are likely to respond with steadfast loyalty

Fives feel comfortable and at home in the realm of thought. They are generally intelligent, well read and thoughtful and they frequently become experts in the areas that capture their interest. While they are sometimes scientifically oriented, especially with the Six wing, just as many Fives are drawn to the humanities and it is not at all uncommon for Fives to have artistic inclinations.Fives are sensitive; they don't feel adequately defended against the world.
