      MBTI is more of how you think.
      Enneagram is more of why are we the person we are.
      Both are important but Enneagram analyzes what motivates us, what we like, our "philosophy".

      Eneagram = nurture
      According to MBTI we are born with a certain way of percieving and judging the word through our cognitive functions, the 4 letters then come from our preferences based on thoose functions.
      Eneagram is based more on mental health and how the enviroment we live and grew up in led us to have certain goals and fears and the coping mechanisms we use when faced with thoose fears and the way we get to thoose goals. Through that knowledge we can know how we can grow and become more stable when faced with our fears.

      Why? It's awesome. It isn't worse to be an INFP 4w5 than any other type. When we integrate we can be some of the most creative and insightful people. We can see the beauty in everything. That's not to say we should be narcissistic, or that we're better than anyone else, but don't put us down or act like we have it worse than anyone else. I know it's a type Four thing to want to be unique and all that but I feel like telling yourself you're innately going to suffer more than anyone else just leads to excusing unhealthy behaviours.

I also took another test on an app called Youper (mental health interactive app if anyone is interested in it) and got “the counselor” which it said also corresponds to the INFJ personality type. We took the enneagram test as a family and we all got different types. My dad is 1w9 and my mom is 9w1 and I thought that was just beautiful.

    3:14 you're such a 4 😭Imo it's essential to learn about the other types, you learn so much about yourself through observing and understanding others. In the Enneagram the types are never an isolated entity. I'm an 2w1, but under stress, when I'm inspired or motivated, at my best, in different situations I move towards other types and their characteristics. Not to mention that understanding others, making them feel understood through the knowledge you gained through the Enneagram, can be reward in itself!

    5w6 INTP. Makes so much more sense now. Reflecting on it, life has just been looking for someone I can apply my knowledge and skills for. Never was even picky about the cause, as long as I felt secure with the friend or leader I was working for. I think I just wanted to prove I was useful and clever. Just musing here, but I suppose the strengths of this type are intelligence, resourcefulness, and will to do whatever it takes to get the answer. Largest weakness is how easy it is to simply outsource my moral compass to the one I'm loyal to. If they are an upstanding person, you can get by. If they are not, you may subject yourself to regret down the line.

    I’m so grateful I found your channel. Thanks to that, I found out who I am and why my mind is wired the way it is. I also understand my INFJ father better. I love learning more about who I am and about what makes us tick (although I stay far away from stereotyped information - I don’t even like unicorns and I often get mistaken for an introvert, but I absolutely will come to your house at 3am to wrap you in a soft blanket and hold your hand if you feel low). There’s so much new information for me to dissect and I can’t wait to learn more! Thank you so much for what you do :)

    INFJ 6w5, I actually got into the wings very recently and I have to say that it’s very interesting to see that there is such specific way to separate each of the 9 enneagrams. It gives you more to research and read about. I honestly think that all of this is a great way to understand a bit more about you and use this information to grow. Thanks to this video I understood a bit more. This is a great video and thank you for talking about it in detail.

    Hi Frank!
    I know this video is kinda old. I like just recently found this channel some months ago and I’ve been looking through a lot of videos trying to understand typology amongst other resources. I’m the most comfortable here because you explain things the best way I can understand, you’re very relatable, and like me you’re a fellow INFJ. Harping on you mentioning of tritypes, I’m pretty confident that I’m “the researcher” who have the tritype of 1w9, 4w5, and 5w4. Just looking at basic enneagrams the 1 & 4 made sense for me to be because they had a growth/ stress connection and I know we tend to lean into either or considering ones circumstances. However, at first I was mad confused because I was identifying with 5 as well which was kinda odd due to the fact that I’m an INFJ and they have relatively lower percentages in that type. Then I started looking at wings which lead me to tritypes and to my reassurance found that out of all the MBTI types, INFJs are the most common 145s. With that said, I haven’t been seeing many enneagram videos as of late but I know this channel mainly focuses on MBTI. Nevertheless, I do hope you can consider still doing a tritypes video because honestly I am the most confused about that. 😅

  • @NebulaGuardian
    @NebulaGuardian 4 роки тому +7

    Fun idea:
    I have a hard time visualizing types in real life unless I've met them, so for those who share this trait... if you can find some nerd friends to do tabletop or verbal roleplays and create characters with the different personalities to go on adventures together, it really helps with perspective. If you've never roleplayed before, your first character will probably look either just like your personality or just like how you wish you were. Your character might be born a stereotype as well, but with a good GM/DM creating situations in which they can grow and develop, they'll start to seem more like a real person. It really helped me identify the 16 Types and 9 Enneagram Types and how they respond to developments and stress. It may sound silly, but it worked for me (INFP Type 9). Also... STAY AWAY FROM ONLINE STEREOTYPES. These will just confuse you and make you pre-type people without really getting to know them. In my experience, many people do NOT display their true personality type when you first get to know them. And the more mature a person is, the less you'll be able to tell which type or Enneagram they are up front. Just keep that in mind. :-)

    I took the test and read about the types a bit. I got a 5w4 but I was also high in 9w1which I think fits me better. I prefer working alone because of my perfectionist tendencies, but when I do work with a group or an just forced to sit through dinner with family, I try to put others thoughts and feelings before my own even though I would so much rather spend that time alone. Also, my own emotions often take a back seat and I always try my best to make sure that others are comfortable around me

    9 may be the answer. I have some perfectionism and I sometimes I feel like reforming my my surroundings, but in the end these are just thoughts. I do feel like I could be a good commander and am not afraid of trying anything, but then I just step back and let people do what they want.
    I also relate to 6, and have similar connections with 5 and 7. But... you said 9 is the top, so that may be the reason why I relate to many.
