in the final image, you have Type 5 listed twice for ISTPs.

 

Oops! I will have to fix that, thanks for letting me know.

*EDIT: fixed!

 

Lots of Type 7s!

 

INFJs are the rarest type my ass! We're second only to INFP (I can't believe how many INFPs there are OMG!) :shocked:

Interesting statistics! Thanks for sharing.

 

I know this was posted a while ago, but it could be that there seem to be so many because of their interest in personalities and what makes people work. This site certainly would attract INFPs more than some other types!

*Lol! After I posted this, I looked at blissfulpeach's post. Of course we love to know how we and those around us think...

 

From what I have seen, INFPs seem to be the most interested in MBTI-related topics. That is why we are so over-represented here. In real life, we are pretty hard to find.

INFPs tend not to be Ones, which could explain why I have trouble fitting in, even among my own kind. Interesting.

 

Pfffs whatever! INFP's are EVERYWHERE! Or at least there is tons around me!

 

That's great stuff. Very interesting.

 

Cool, and thanks for the data

 

This is very interesting and seems to confirm an intuitive thought I had : it looks almost like an inverse relationship between the rarity of a type irl and their abundance on the internet, or at the very least on a mbti forum.

Might be a logical bias, seems as the rarer your type is irl, the more you might be inclined to seek out kindred spirits on the internet. The more comon types only have to throw a rock to find someone similar to them after all lol

 

Type 3 is in eight position for INFP...not surprising at all. I expected INFP 1s to be more common, though. Fi's orientation to the individual makes many INFPs concerned about human rights & personal justice. Also, the way Fi-doms spend their lives creating& striving to live up to ideals that not many can(or, unfortunately, care to) reach seems to align itself with type 1 idealism. IMO, Fi could be correlated with 1 just as much as it is with 4.

 

I would have thought so too. It is possible that we are more common than we seem, but that we tend to test as fours because most Enneagram tests seem to associate One-ness with SJ-like questions that alienate us.

It took me a long time to realize I was a One. The tests kept misidentifying me based on my negative answers to some of the questions that might as well have asked "Do you act like a crazy, neat-freakish, list-making, 'take your fucking shoes off so they won't stain my spotless white carpet that I vacuumed twelve times today!' unhealthy SJ-type with extreme unmanaged OCD?"

edit: Maybe I do. I've already edited this post about nine times in an attempt to make sure it doesn't accidentally offend anyone.

 

This is fascinating. Thanks for posting. No just clicking the "like" button will do in this case.

 

Wow ENTP 6 is a relatively rare combo..

 

Only 2 types have > 50% of their population within 1 Enneagram type:

1. INTP (type 5): ~69% of INTP's.
2. INTJ (type 5): ~50% of INTJ's.

These two types have relatively large populations too...even the types with smaller populations don't have more than 50% in one E-type. The other types are much more spread out amongst the E-types. E5...must be an INT thang.

 

@slightlycrazed Usually when I see that a PerC member is trying to do a poll of their own, the final product is rarely posted or the results/conclusions leave something to be desired. This was very well done! Nice work. I hope this gets more people more interested in the Enneagram...the 9 forum is my favorite forum on this site and it is more often dead than not.

 

Great Job! Thanks for sharing your results.

 

Actually, I'm constantly typed between En. 1 and 8 on many enneagram test (online). At one point, I stop relying on those tests because I don't relate with the descriptions, as much as I relate with En. 3 descriptions.

Interestingly, the majority of ESTJs (based on that survey) are 3s.

After doing a deeper research and introspection, I decided that my tritype enneagram is 3w4 - 5w6 - 8w9.
I would suggest anyone to drop the tests.

 

So do I. There aren't many INFPs where I live. I've only met maybe three or four in my whole life.

 

@Nymma

I guess I feel that I differ from the others because they aren't as intense about things, and they don't get as upset about the more common, socially accepted forms of unfairness.

They are less likely to use words like "evil," "oppression," and "injustice" when describing anything but the very worst wrongs.

 

@slightlycrazed That's quite a bit of data mining.

Is there a difference between the 1st and 3rd image?
What about the 5th and 7th? In the 5th and 7th Type 6 is listed 2x for ISTJs.
Also I don't understand the Total for the 5th and 7th images.

*Oh, the ISTP Type 5 double listing was corrected in the 7th image, but not in the 5th.

 

Thanks for catching that. I guess in the midst of all my copy and pasting it got all jumbled and I was too much in a hurry to double check. None of the charts were meant to be the same (that would just be redundant). As for the double one the sixes, it should be fixed. Let me know if you see anything else.

 

Interesting.

And of course, my first thought was "I wonder how many of those 200+ INTJ E6's are actually ISTJs."

Same thing with INFJ 2s and 6s, wondering how many are ISFJs.

Anyway, I'm unsurprised that many of the people on the forum are 4s, 5s, and 9s.

I also wonder how many Unknowns or 4s or 9s are actually 6s since there are supposedly so many E6s in the general population, but not so much here.

 

This is of course biased in all directions by PerC's population and not applicable to the general population, but if you are on PerC and you identify as a _, you are most likely a _ :

 

This thread is orgasmic. I'm a little surprised at the overwhelming numbers of 4s and 5s, but this is more than likely due to those sorts of people actively seeking out forums because there aren't many like them in their daily lives.



This is great! Amusing how the ENTJs are in their own little 8 loop :laughing:

 

Whoo! I'm the rarest enneagram for my type! Well, by 1 anyway. I really hope those INTJ 2's are actually INFJ's And to be fair, I always test as a 5.

Te Sevens will rule the world with awesome. Nice job! Also, nice graph, @Metaplanar, I love the little ENTJ 8 loop.

 

I promise to send anyone who can explain this a perfumed postcard:

Introversion (I): ||||||||||| 44.44%
Extroversion (E): |||||||||||||| 55.56%
Intuition (N): ||||||||||||||||||| 77.42%
Sensation (S): |||||| 22.58%
Thinking (T): ||||||||| 34.38%
Feeling (F): |||||||||||||||| 65.63%
Judging (J): ||||||| 28%
Perceiving (P): |||||||||||||||||| 72%

Your Cognitive Functions:

Introverted Intuition (Ni) |||||||||||||| 6.2

7w6, 9w1, 3w2.

 

What exactly do you need? You're most likely an ENFP 7w6, not an uncommon sight. What kind of explanation do you want?

 

what is the eneagram triad / type here?

Need a new strategy for

• remaining focused on tasks
• accepting criticism
• navigating across conflicts

I can peice together somebody's MBTI in their eyes, how they walk, and move their arms and legs, but to me the Enneagram isn't as much in those characteristics. I see the Enneagram in people's overall demeanor, like you would see in people taking antidepressants or other mood drugs, or street drugs.

For example, strong sensors have a sharp focused look in their eyes and strong intuitives have calm eyes. I spot it instantly. Where I often see the Enneagram types in someone's whole face. Its not anything minute or detailed...

 

I found some interesting conclusions from this data that I think proves that MBTI and Enneagram, while not the same, do have some sort of correlation.
Here's what I found:
Types 2,3, and 7 are most common in Extroverted types, so they seem to extroverted in nature, whereas Types 4, 5, and 6 are most common in Introverted types, so it seems as though they are more introverted in nature. All IXTX types have Type 5 as their most common type, so they are all most commonly motivated by learning and being competent. Both ISXJ (Si-dominant) types have Type 6 has their most common type so they are most commonly motivated by security. INFX types have Type 4 as their most common type so they want to individuals more often than not.
IXXJ (extroverted perception inferior) types all have Type 7 as their least common so having fun isn't one of their top motivators. IxTP types (Fe-inferior) have Type 2 as their least common type so they are least worried about helping others.
EXFJ (Fe-dominant) types have Type 2 as their most common type, so their biggest motivator is being able to help other, the opposite of IXTPs. EXXP types (extroverted perception dominant) have Type 7 as their most common type so they like to have fun, the opposite of IXXJs.
EXXP types also have Type 1 as their least common type, so they don't care too often about how they think things should be. I noticed that, in general, the numbers for extroverted types are lower than those for introverted types.
I apologize for repetition of phrases, but whatever gets the point across faster...
By no means is this conclusive evidence that the two are too closely related; these are just some interesting connections I seen.

 

This was extremely helpful-thanks for posting it.

 

Wow...the contrast between 4 and 5 INTJs. Any other INTJ 4s? I'd love to know.

 

 

When I first did it I was type 5w4 and I just did it again on a different site and I'm 5w6 it all kind of depends on the site you use as to what you are. But I am fairly certain I am type 5 for sure as my strongest, I'm infp btw and I found it really strange that 40 odd percent is type 4 I was hoping we would be spread out a little more. Oh well

Loads of INFPs mistype as 5 ahem what are you guys looking at?

It's okay, as long as we all have each other. We will survive!
