I know there are supposed to be three wings..? But I'm not sure how to figure the other one out.

@Nebulous,

Take a look at this.

Best to go by best fit.

4-7-1 i guess going by that article.

 

[Ex-User (11125)]

549 i guess

 

[QuickTwist]

I believe this was the description I was going off of.

@zerkalo, we are now twins, where's the last triplet though?

 

[PmjPmj]

5w4, but also an INTJ.

That makes for a pretty interesting (read: fucking useless) type.



















[EDIT] Please excuse the avatar. I'll change it shortly.

I've been trying to figure my tri type since this was posted... I'm not sure how 'down' I am with the tri type theory.. But I've manage to bring some order to the possibilities now..

It is said that we are all influenced by each of the enneagram, separately to having our main.. Somebody else noted that the tri type theory just sorta seems 'thrown together'...

But I'll see if I can decide on one.

 

[Nebulous]

helpful article, thanks.

549.

[Ex-User (9086)]

It doesn't fit me very well.

I see myself between 5 and 6, maybe 5w6. From this tritype site I could be 541 or 5/641.

The description of a 5 fits me fully but there are parts of the description of a 6 that also fit me. 4 is a mixed match with 2 and I have bits and pieces of a 9 an 8 and most of 1.

^.^
i just skimmed through this link...its confusing, seems like they're all same description in different words
anyway after revisiting enneagram, i think 459 is a better fit after all
i relate most with 4s

 

[Sinny91]

I can't pick a specific tritype, I think I am each of my nine at different time's.

I lean on 7 a lot, and 5, and 4 .. and all the others a bit.

I think Enneagram is pretty hit or miss with people. Either you can totally see yourself as a certain type/belive in the theory or you don't/can't.

I looked at the description. That site was totally awesome resource.

Well, well I might be the weirdo intp out there and I saw a lot of type 5. By comparing tbe description of intp and the description of type 5, not surprising that a lot of intp out there would have at least a type 5 as their other trend.

I read the article. 1w4/3 in a previous test result really fits me.. but that archetype wtf does not exist omg =,=. And I don't myself have the tendency of type 5, 6 and 7. Perhaps I think and feel extensively, and I can go either the technical side of things, setup an internet connection without help (age old tho), and as well understand feelings, see visions, create, come up with theories (They are usually incomplete, tho :P) etc, and I could psychic read at times. But the problem is, that I do suppress my feelings in front of others. Ya, certain types collide with others, well, and I once thought that I would look more like an infp, but it was the sense of thoughts and logic chains that made me an intp. I always knew the tech side of me, even though I am myself focusing on the abstract side, such as a bigger picture, than doing anything relating to the technical side. But maybe.. just my so call maybes lol, one day I might try to root my phone for the heck of it

But a wiki link helps at archetype: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tritype
And this from wiki which I found interesting.

I think when I was still a boy I was 9w1, but I'm not sure it makes sense to try and type someone until at least adolescence.

Definitely 4w5 in adolescence: very much a sullen, depressed, withdrawn emo kid during my teens, with the characteristic penchant for the disgusting. I deliberately had poor personal hygiene for a spell, let my hair grow long, wouldn't really brush it. Unsurprisingly, high school was a disaster.

Think after I got tired of swimming in emotion I developed a bit more of a rational mind, and became more 5w4. I think that's the phase I'm in now, a combination of 4w5 and 5w4. I've lost of a lot of the 9 and 2 shortcomings I used to have: It's easier now to stand up for myself or to distance myself from people who aren't good for me. I have some 7 tendencies in that I'm a low-key drug addict, etc.

Loool.
Charming.

9's are great, IMO.

 

[A_Scanner_Darkly]

It's been observed that it's rather difficult not to like a 9 (I think this is especially true for 8s, who get the rare feeling that they can let their guard down around them), but the inward seething and self-loathing can reach devastating proportions, because they can end up internalizing all conflict. Not being able to stand up for yourself, not being able to assert your opinions, sometimes feeling like you don't even have the capacity to form real opinions. It sucks.

But I guess every type comes with its own challenges.

As an eight I can relate to that, but at least we can blow of steam by taking it out on everybody else... and protecting our own psyche by wrapping ourselves up in ten layers of denial.

Also, I followed the link above to the tritypes.

I think I nailed it with the very first result - 458. That makes so much sense for me.

Especially the 8 bit. I can go from quite reserved to 'balls to the wall shot caller' in .5 of a second.

going through some old posts, as a newbie.

You are most likely a type 6.

Taking wings into account, you seem to be a 6w7.

Description of a 6:

Spoiler

The things that r true for me are in color

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.

^yesssss. That is.. very relatable. Geez my whole struggle with religion- this belief, that belief, angry at beliefs, blah.

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.

Because Sixes so frequently fail to appreciate the extent of their own fear, they often mistype themselves. It is common for instance, for female Sixes to mistype as Twos, especially if they are identified with a helper role, but Sixes have a much more ambivalent attitude towards relationships than do Twos, who generally know exactly what they want. Sixes, failing to recognize their anxiety, can mistype as Nines, but Nines have the ability to relax and to trust in others, neither of which come easily to Sixes. Sixes can mistype as Fours, especially if they have artistic inclinations, but they lack the Four's self-absorption. They can mistype as Fives, especially if they are intellectual, as many Sixes are, but unlike Fives, Sixes tend to be practical. Finally, conterphobic Sixes can easily mistype as Eights, but they lack the Eight's self-certainty.

Everything means nothing to me

*cries in corner bc Elliott*

The 6 description seems to fit me though.
And God knows I've had serious issues with anxiety. I've been on Zoloft since October and that's helped, along with CBT.

I mean the theory of me being a Six makes sense when I apply it to my past.

I've typed as a 5 and an 8 before
I'll do some more research and such

An insight this gave me though: I have confused Ti with anxiety when typing myself in the past. So maybe I'm a MBTI type that doesn't have Ti as high up function wise as I thought I did, but I labeled what was actually anxiety as a really high degree of rational thinking- 'Ti.' Because I typed myself as INTP before I realized I had anxiety disorders. I thought all the "anxiety" was actually rational thinking, and it was something that constantly, constantly filled my brain and time, and I spent tons of time and effort researching, analyzing, and theorizing about things---
Anxiety can easily be mistaken for Ti-Ne.
