    A 4 isn’t going to be an ENTJ, ever. The 4 is, by definition, a feeler type, and often introverted. This person is very obviously not an ENTJ

    • @samanthamackaylife
      @samanthamackaylife 7 днів тому

      That might be true for a Social Four, but the Self-Preservation Four psyche structure operates a little differently. Yes all that depth of feeling is there, but their constant comparison sends them into action to get what they are missing. They are stoic in the face of long suffering, they can appear happy (like a 7) to demonstrate just how good they are at not sharing their pain. They tend to be more masochistic than melodramatic. They tend to put themselves in tough, challenging situations to demonstrate just how strong they are in the face of pain. They earn love by not complaining. Through that lens, being a ENTJ SP4 does not seem completely out of the question.

    • @TemerityPascal
      @TemerityPascal 6 днів тому

      @ I’m a self preservation 4 (and a psychologist). The functionality and temperament of the ENTJ is fundamentally different from that of the type 4. In fact, they’re opposites in most ways. MBTI tests have notoriously poor reliability and discriminant validity (although I believe the construct itself is valid). It’s much more likely that this person is mistyped as an ENTJ. Of course, we can’t be 100% certain, but there simply isn’t enough construct overlap between the ENTJ temperament profile and that of an enneagram 4 with any wing, instinctual variant, or “level or health.” Temperament simply doesn’t work that way

    • @samanthamackaylife
      @samanthamackaylife 3 місяці тому

      A good way is to read descriptions of the type and then try it on. See if the deeper motivations match your own. Also try observe how you react to specific situations and ask yourself what's the motivation behind it. I found reading about each of the nine types and slowly eliminating which ones don't match my own motivations useful. Personally, I used the 9 types of Leadership to do this.

      @Magicalpow1 8 місяців тому

      I don't readily project my shadow onto her. There's another 9 who I think is Sx/Sp, Kaylee Rademaker, she's a UA-camr, and I can more readily figure what she's doing, where her head is at in her interviews, and with Naomi it doesn't occur. It's like we're not on the same page. I mean, there was a time I wanted to be a writer like Naomi but aside from little things like that I have trouble seeing the similarity. Also, if I may be really bold for a minute, if you included the secondary instincts in all your interviews that would be super awesome. It's helpful as there are people out there like me who are left guessing and I'm wrong a lot. Maybe you have you reasons for not including it, maybe people focus too much on fitting into a box or something, I don't know, it's all good either way though.

    So I've gone through about 10 of these videos now and what a treat they have been. Thank you for taking the time to do the interviews and post them. The topic chosen was especially awesome as well given that creativity really reveals nuances into the inner workings that I actually haven't come across throughout my years with the Enneagram; it's a topic that covers a lot and yet isn't much in the Enneagram literature. Fantastic. Helpful. Hope there's more. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
