Enneagram - Blog Posts

Found an Album Dedicated to Enneagrams:

So I put it upon myself to make my tritype (wings included) out of the songs in a playlist. So feel free to have fun with this and make your own tritype playlist if you want.

Thank you! I appreciate the response and this will definitely be useful!

May you please list the enneagram numbers that matches the most with each respected MBTI type? For example; is 4, 6. or 9 the strongest correlation to an INFP? I really would like to know which combinations enhances the MBTI types' preexisting functions the most.

Based on basic fears and how each Enneagram type acts to compensate, I’d guess these are likely frequent combinations (most likely first in the list):

Two: fear of being unwanted, unworthy of love (ESFJ, ISFJ, ENFJ)

Three: fear of being worthless (STP, ENTP, ENTJ, ESTJ)

Four: fear of having no identity or personal significance (NFP, SFP)

Five: fear of being helpless, useless, incapable (INTJ, INTP, ISTJ, INFJ)

Six: fear of being unable to survive on their own, without support (INFP, ISXJ)

Seven: fear of pain and deprivation (ENFP, ENTP, ESTP, ESFP, ISFP)

Eight: fear of being harmed or controlled by others (SFP, STP, ENTJ, ENTP)

Nine: fear of becoming lost/ separated from self and others (ENFJ, ESFJ, INFP)

One: fear of becoming corrupt, evil, and defective (INFJ, NFP, STJ)

- ENFP Mod

I love astrology, but sometimes it gets to personal and I escape to typology because it’s more relatable and less biased.

ya know it’s true, don’t even try to deny it

eventually I’m gonna make a post with examples of every SG character acting like their MBTI type and none of you are going to know what the fuck I’m talking about

re: prev post, I’m actually on the ‘sang-woo is an ENTJ’ side of the discussion on that and I’m not 100% sold on in-ho as an INTJ, I could see ISTJ just as much

squid game actually doesn’t have a load of horrendous mistypes on PDB which is nice, with the exception of hyun-ju being voted as an enneagram 4 which is literally always applied to trans people purely for being trans. actually come to think of it I also don’t buy the case for her being an ISFP, she’s definitely an ENFJ which I think has the vote rn

Hello there!

I'm curious about those four personality classifications in your bio after the mbti and enneagram 🧐 what kind of tests are they? Also yay a fellow leo!! 🦁

Hiya!

1-3-5 is Tritype, sx/sp is Instinctual Varient, ILI is Socionics, IT(N) is Classic Jungian!

Hope this helped ::3

Here’s a quote from a LocalScriptMan video that summarizes why the “Annabel is a Type Six because she seeks out allies” argument is simply not it for me:

“You can tell Six leaders apart from non-Six leaders because Six leaders believe their own propaganda. When they say ‘we have to destroy the whatever’, they mean that shit. They believe in that cause. With an Eight leader or a Three leader, you never know if it’s a psyop, but Sixes? They believe in the thing 100%.” —Writing with the Enneagram: Type Six, LocalScriptMan

It’s a psyop. It’s literally a psyop. She does not believe in her group’s cause and is literally lying to all of them💀

The Case for Annabel Lee as a Vain Type Three

I’m making this as a response to the outrageous fact that users on Personality Database have typed Annabel Lee as an Enneagram Type Six, which ????

I am a Type Six. Annabel Lee is absolutely not.

This is copied from the comment I just posted on there, so don’t worry: I am only plagiarizing myself.

Annabel Lee is a Type Three, likely with a dominant social instinct. Here’s why I think so:

In a situation that is, effectively, a social game, the first consequential decision that Annabel Lee makes is in Episode 9. After Ada has offered herself, as well as a handpicked group of other students, as an ally willing to follow Annabel’s leadership, Ada must clarify one thing before their alliance is solidified—that Annabel Lee is exactly who Ada wants and expects her to be.

Ada is banking on this; within the first two days, she’s gone the mile of sucking up to Annabel Lee, making enemies with Lenore and her friends to “[sort] the wheat from the chaff”, and gathering allies for Annabel’s approval. This is because Ada has clocked Annabel as a social magnet, someone who carries the mark of a leader, and someone with power (because of her class demonstration as the ‘Lady in White’)—hell, she compares Annabel to a queen in their first conversation.

So, when Ada asks Annabel, “[that odd girl Lenore] seems to think that she’s your…friend. Is she?” It is a test to confirm that her expectations are correct: that an elegant, socially powerful young woman like Annabel would not associate herself with losers or ‘class clowns’, so to speak, and, as such, is capable of carrying Ada to the finish line of the game they’ve been forced to play.

Annabel Lee has two options: she can break Ada’s expectations or she can conform to them. Ultimately, Annabel Lee chooses to defend herself by relying on the E3’s particular defense mechanism, which is identification. We see Annabel walk through the academy halls observing and responding to a social environment that seems to favor and admire her, with Ada talking in her ear about how “posh” she is, or how much she’s like a queen, and that she and Ada are “the same sort of person.”

It’s clear, to Annabel, what people want from her, and because she is not like Lenore, who would almost certainly reject any kind of unwanted conformity, and because Annabel has learned that survival means living on the expectations of others, she does exactly that: “…Mn. No. The poor darling. I don’t know what I did to give her that impression.”

A quote from ‘The Complete Enneagram’ by Beatrice Chestnut, which explains identification:

“Naranjo explains that ‘central to type Three is identification with an ideal self-image built as a response to the expectation of others,’ which often starts with the defensive effort to match ideal characteristics their parents valued. Threes defensively transform themselves into what important others—people in their environment whom they want to impress—admire and appreciate. By noticing and adopting characteristics that others regard as valuable, Threes seek to match an external model to assure approval.” — The Complete Enneagram, Beatrice Chestnut

And Annabel commits to this. She does it over and over again, to the point of gaining ire from Lenore herself, on many occasions. Annabel’s reliance on this defense mechanism, and the manipulations and cruelty that result from attempting to maintain a particular image and “win” the social game, is at the CRUX of their relationship conflict.

It is extremely Type Three-coded, which is why I’m baffled that anyone would ever call her a Type Six, as a Type Six myself.

…and that’s all folks. Maybe next week I’ll talk about the outrageous typing of Will as a Type Two when he is a TYPE NINE. Come ON people, what are we doing here

So I'm rereading sctir after dropping the novel around ch.320 a while back. During that time, I read into personality typing, which had already fascinated me. I even did an analysis of Yoojin and Sung Hyunjae's relationship in 2024 (read here) based on the enneagram.

I got Hyunjae spot on. He's so perfectly enneagram type 7 it feels stereotypical. But, I won't lie, my Yoojin analysis was iffy... so I'm striking it from the record! If you read that, no you didn't.

I'm more familiar with the enneagram now, and I already have new thoughts after ch.2 of the webtoon lmao

I may write a revised Yoojin analysis... we'll see.

Spoilers up to chap 303 of tsctir

When you're on your Enneagram bs & realize that Sung Hyunjae is self-pres/sexual 7 & Han Yoojin is self-pres/sexual 2.

...the fact that they both prioritize self-pres instinct while wielding the sexual instinct second would explain some of the odd chemistry in their semi-transactional relationship. They both are, or at least were, using their growing connection with the other as a tool to satisfy their own needs, and both of them see this as reasonable and fair because they know the other is doing the same thing.

Hyunjae only rejects the chemistry between them when his dominant instinct is threatened... needing to risk his arm to help everyone get out of the Japanese dungeon bcuz of whatever funky stuff Yoojin's got going on. He literally says to Song Taewon, after running away from Yoojin, in ch.296:

“No matter how much I like him, I come first. He’s mine to the end, and while he’s something I treasure, the one I value is myself.”

No wonder dude spirals out of control until he's literally contemplating wiping Yoojin off the face of the planet. he's a pleasure-seeking sp7 that ensures the satisfaction of his needs by building interpersonal alliances, & the passionate, dreamy energy of his sx7 instinct serves that end. if the focus of his current passion is abt to risk his survival, if he's gonna have to start making actual sacrifices, then it makes sense that he'd think abt cutting his losses. but... he doesn't want to kill him. cuz he liiiikes him. so he just ghosts him lol

& Yoojin's reaction to it is so freaking funny dude. he's like a crazy ex Hyunjae broke up with over text. & that makes sense, too, bcuz he's beginning to actually care about Sung Hyunjae in a non-transactional way, so Hyunjae just up and ghosting has to absolutely trigger the 2's fear of being unloved and abandoned, like it did when he thought Yoohyun abandoned him pre-regression. and because 2's are hiding insecurity and entitlement for love & attention behind a veneer of altruism, which wells into anger & resentment if they don't get the love that they're due, Yoojin literally threatens to blow up his house if he doesn't respond to him. and does, like, a 24 hour death countdown before barging into Sung Hyunjae's house when he STILL hadn't responded to his texts lololol

Ooh, these are so fun! Thanks for tagging @witchyafterdark!

Star Chart/Zodiac Signs:

I learned so much from these today. I was so confused about Moon and Rising signs before this!

Cancer Sun

Gemini Moon

Scorpio Rising

Hogwarts House

Gryffindor! 🦁

(Although I've gotten Slytherin once or twice)

Myers-Briggs:

ENFP-A

Enneagram:

Type 7w8 - "The Opportunist"

So, to put them all together: According to these tests, I'm a versatile individual with a strong sense of adventure and a passion for creativity!

Personality tag thread?

Personality labels have been on my mind today because I think they are really fun and interesting when it comes to self-perception and awareness. Of course, with all of them, here’s a disclaimer that it is not set in stone! But we're here to have fun, so screw that right now lol. Each label has a link to a quiz if you don’t know! Star Chart/Zodiac Signs -Scorpio Sun -Libra Moon -Capricorn Rising Hogwarts House (I gotta, I'm part HP blog after all, lol) Slytherin Myers-Briggs (very interesting and good to know, commonly used in academic and work settings - validity debatable) INFP-T "Turbulent Mediator" Enneagram Type 4, 4w5 "The Individualist" or "The Bohemian" Putting these all together for myself, I am an ambitious, emotionally intense, creative idealist. I'm introverted with strong empathy, highly opinionated, mysterious, and always searching for self-discovery. I'm loyal, but I also struggle with self-doubt. Oop- huh, interesting. Only thing I disagree with is mysterious. I think people are pretty on to me right away hahaha. Basically, I am tagging y'all in hopes you find at least one of these interesting or somewhat useful! @greedyforgarreth @grandeoatmilklatte @localravenclaw @hogwarts-is-my-hufflehome @junie-00 @howominis @myrachondria @xantineverdoer @breezyvanillabeans @underthenightskydreamsneverdie @shameless0shenanigans @avalynlestrange @celerydays

this is so accurate!

Connectinon Between Childhood Trauma and Enneagram

I’ve decided to share some of the stuff I learned about the childhood experience of all Enneagram types, and how this experience shapes us into a certain type. All this is based on some of my observations and studies plus backed up with some info from the books: Personality Types: Using the Enneagram for Self-Discovery by Don Richard Riso & Russ Hudon and The Enneagram Guide to Waking Up by Beatrice Chestnut.

And do keep in mind that it’s just a general pattern and observation - while it’s a lot more common for a certain type to have such a childhood experince, nothing is set in stone.

P.S. the enneagram

The Work

The Work is an esoteric system also known as the “Fourth Way”. It offers practical techniques for gaining self-knowledge.

Key practices include:

Try to feel at times that you are not just your body, but that you are looking through it and seeing things and people in this world by means of it.

Learn to distinguish between your instinctual, emotional and intellectual centres, so that you can start to balance and combine them.

Practice taking in impressions consciously.

Move into a position "between the opposites".

Learn not to identify, and understand that at a very deep level, "the observed is not the observer".
