The tests say I am: 5w6, 539 and 5w6, 9w1, 3w2.
After some more research I somewhat agree. Though "Scientist" doesn't seem right, I can get behind a "Problem solver" (is this my P-ness showing?). Anyways "If Type 4 feels like they were born into the wrong families, Type 5s feel like they were born onto the wrong planet." resonates very well with my thoughts.
However, I relate to 5w4 too, because I awe at very elegant solutions or hacks. Most of the world's paintings, music and poetry have nothing on the art of problem solving. Not to say I don't appreciate paintings, music and poetry though. Also, I know I am done with a solution or know that it's the one to choose when it's beautiful. This might be a 5w6 trait too, I haven't sought detailed descriptions of it yet.

Every INTP and INTJ are 5w4
What is interesting, for the first time I scored as 4w5, but I was in horrible depression.

ENTP 4w5
(Somewhere there are a couple threads on this already).
Most INTPs tend to be 5w4, INTJs 5w6.
Most ENTPs apparently aren't 4w5...
I really don't want to take a tritype or stacking test...

Depends, when I was an INTP I got 5w4 when I was/am an INFP I got 9w1.
At one point in time I was/am delusional so at least I am consistent in across tests in this.

You are a Type 5 with a 6 wing: "The Scientist"
Your trifix is 5w6, 1w2, 3w2.
From another test site, which I'm more inclined to trust as the questions are more diverse and difficult to manipulate by personal bias:
Type 5 - 12
Type 9 - 7.7
Type 1 - 7.3
Type 6 - 3.7
Type 4 - 1.3
Wing 5w6 - 13.9
Wing 5w4 - 12.7
Wing 9w1 - 11.4
Wing 1w9 - 11.2
Wing 6w5 - 9.7
Wing 9w8 - 7.7
Wing 1w2 - 7.3
Wing 4w5 - 7.3
Wing 6w7 - 3.7
Wing 4w3 - 1.3
The funny thing is I actually agree mostly with the results of the first test. This may have something to do with the instinctual nature of the questions.
Edit: apparently I'm INTP
You are a Type 5 with a 6 wing: "The Scientist"
Your trifix is 5w6, 1w2, 3w2.
Your core type (your strongest type) is Type 5 with a 6 wing: Type Five individuals are cerebral, intelligent, and complex. Type Five is often called the Investigator type, because they are constantly trying to learn more about the world. To a Five, knowledge is power, and knowing more about the world around them makes the world a safer place. It’s common for a Five to withdraw into their own thoughts and ruminate on intricate ideas and concepts. Type Fives, when they are in a growth state, become self-confident and authoritative like a Type Eight. When they are stressed, Type Fives become scattered like an unhealthy Type Seven. You are a Type Five with a Six wing, which means that the cerebral nature of a Type Five combines with the troubleshooting thought style of a Type Six. This makes Type 5w6 the Enneagram type of the stereotypical scientist – the 5w6 is always creating new ideas and testing them.
Your second type (your next strongest type) is Type 1 with a 2 wing: Type One individuals have a very finely tuned sense of right and wrong, and they chart the course of their lives by following a righteous path. This doesn’t have to be religious… it can be any set of principles that the Type One finds ethical. Ones are perfectionists, often setting high standards for themselves and others. Type One may very well be the noblest type in the Enneagram. When a Type One is in a state of growth, they become excited and joyous like a Type Seven. When a Type One is stressed, they become emotional and overwhelmed like an unhealthy Type Four. You are a Type One with a Two wing, which means that the righteous traits of a Type One combine with the helpful nature of a Type Two. This makes you naturally inclined to advocate on behalf of other people, and the welfare of others is probably an important part of your worldview.
Your third type (the least-used of the three) is Type 3 with a 2 wing: Type Three individuals are self-assured, confident, and driven for success. Type Threes have a great deal of energy that propels them to excel at their chosen field, and this is why the type is often called The Achiever. Although Threes may not always like it, they’re often looked up to. Type Threes, more than any other type, are the most likely to be a workaholic. When in a state of growth, Threes become more cooperative and trusting of others, like a Type Six. When stressed, Threes become withdrawn like a Type Nine. You are a Type Three with a Two wing, which means that your driven nature combines with a desire to help people. You often come off as charming and outgoing as a result.
Some words that describe you: principled, moralistic, perfectionist, self-critical, ambitious, driven, adaptable, energetic, intelligent, cerebral, questioning.

I'm afraid finding out your type requires more than just doing tests.
At least you're honest about it
Have you had a 548 vs 541 dilemma by any chance?
I don't think so.

You are a Type 7 with a 6 wing: "The Entertainer"
Your trifix is 7w6, 1w2, 3w2.
Your trifix is 7w6, 1w2, 3w2.
I agree with whats in bold.
In enneagram theory, you have one type for how you relate to the world (either 8, 9, or 1), one type for how you think (5, 6, 7) and one type for how you see yourself (2, 3, 4.) Your tri-fix contains one number from each of these triads. They are listed in the order of how strongly they present in your personality.
Your core type (your strongest type) is Type 7 with a 6 wing: Type Seven individuals are energetic, engaging, and playful. They have a love for life and can easily jump from one exciting topic to the next. The Type Seven thought process is a bit scattered, but that’s because they are easily interested in many different things. This is why Type Seven is often called The Enthusiast. When in a growth state, Type Sevens become focused like Type Fives. When they’re stressed, they become a perfectionist like a Type One. The enthusiastic nature of the Type Seven combines with the cooperative nature of the Type Six, making the 7w6 a very outgoing type.
Your second type (your next strongest type) is Type 1 with a 2 wing: Type One individuals have a very finely tuned sense of right and wrong, and they chart the course of their lives by following a righteous path. This doesn’t have to be religious… it can be any set of principles that the Type One finds ethical. Ones are perfectionists, often setting high standards for themselves and others.

Outgoing is the least thing I am but whatever. I also don't, in any way whatsoever, think I am the life of the party. This is the first time I was typed as a 7. Clearly my mood played a role in the results of the test.
I think the reason I was typed this way is because I am creative and enthusiastic about my creativity and/or self expression when I am interested in something but am not like this around everyone.

541, 548 and 549 were more the ones that I had to sift through and learn about in more depth. I can relate to all three in terms of surface descriptions, but the more I started to understand about each type, the concept of the sexual/self-preserving/social aspects of tri-types and just tri-types in general, I figured it out...maybe - lots of things open to interpretation in these things.
