I am a 5w6 .. and what do you know? This test says I am 5w6 :)

You are a Type 5 with a 6 wing: "The Scientist"


Your tritype is 5w6, 9w8, 4w5.

I have also seen 5w6 called "The Problem Solver" and that would seem more accurate personally, than "The Scientist" .

Emerald Sea, that is my result also. I know there are inaccuries, but I kind of believe both of these. . . I had no close scores to confound the issue.

Question to ponder: how much are these scores are primal, how much are they reactive to life experiences? Is the child truly the father of the man, or was Wordsworth just whistling Dixie?

enneagram theory is fascinating because it delineates in detail each psychiatric health level for each type (which involve the degree of grip the core fear has over the individual), integration, disintegration under stress, changes when feeling secure, and other phenomena that change what type we appear to be, or how we respond to life. it can't account for every dynamic that changes an individual during life, but it accounts for a lot of them and as such is more precise in describing human behavior than MBTI (which only deals with factory default brain settings).

for instance, under stress, 4s disintegrate to 2, 7s disintegrate to 1, 9s disintegrate to 6 - at the same health level. and 4s integrate to 1, 7s integrate to 5, 9s integrate to 3. i have been able to identify with all these integration/disintegration types at points in my life, and i think that accounted for some of the mistyping or types others suggested to me. but when in an ordinary state, 4, 7, and 9 are really most natural and innate.

Don Richard Riso, a recognized enneagram expert, states that enneatype itself is developed through childhood. it's not innate - it's the coping strategy we adopt to deal with our core fear. also, i think there are many people who identify with type 6 later in life (long after enneatype has already been developed) because of traumatic experiences, because there is a lot of overlap between PTSD symptoms or the brain's chemical responses to trauma, and type 6 traits - so people may far more often appear to be that type than really are that type.

I am a true core 5w4.

[bubbleboy]

This is what I scored on the actual test. I think this is my tritype, not sure about the order though. But thinking about it, I could be a nine. I've never taken an enneagram test where 9w1 wasn't in my tritype.

You are a Type 9 with a 1 wing: "The Dreamer"

Your tritype is 9w1, 4w5, 6w5.

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-type 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 9 with a 1 wing: Nines are receptive, easygoing, and loveable. Out of all the types in the Enneagram, they have a special ability to get along with others. For this reason, they’re often skilled mediators, resolving conflicts both within themselves and among others. Nines value peace, especially inner peace, very highly. When in a state of growth, Nines become energetic and driven like Type Threes. When stressed, Nines become anxious like an unhealthy Type Six. You are a Type Nine with a One wing, which means that the harmonious traits of the Type Nine merge with the idealistic nature of the Type One. You have an idealized view of the world, and your drive toward harmony is one way to fulfill that dream.

Your second type (your next strongest type) is Type 4 with a 5 wing: Type Four individuals are intensely emotionally aware, and often retreat to their rich inner world of concepts and ideas. They are the most artistic type in the Enneagram and driven to create their own, unique identity. Type Fours value authenticity highly and express themselves whenever they can. They are one of the most individualistic types in the Enneagram. Type Fours, when in a state of growth, become principled like Type Ones. When stressed, Type Fours can become clingy like an unhealthy Type Two. You are a Type Four with a Five wing, which means that the individualist nature of a Four combines with the cerebral nature of a Five to make you one of the most creative types in the Enneagram.

Your third type (the least-used of the three) is Type 6 with a 5 wing: Type Six individuals are reliable, committed, and security-oriented. They are natural troubleshooters, and are always aware of potential problems. This makes the Type Six anxious, but the anxiety fuels them to resolve their problems. They can range from loyal to rebellious, depending on where they get their security from – if the security is from within, they can be very defiant… if it comes from others, they can be very cooperative and devoted. When a Type Six is in a growth state, they become calm like a Type Nine. When they are stressed, they can become arrogant like an unhealthy Type Three. You are a Type Six with a Five wing, which means that the committed nature of the Six combines with the cerebral nature of the Type Five. As a result, you often excel at concrete thinking and troubleshooting.

Some words that describe you: relaxed, peaceful, harmonious, creative, unique, authentic, emotional, loyal, reliable, anxious, skeptical.

You are a Type 5 with a 6 wing: "The Scientist"



Your tritype is 5w6, 1w2, 3w2.

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-type 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 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.

Ack. Is it even possible for type to change so much? I was a 5w4 4w5 9w1 a couple of months ago when I took this quiz. Like seriously. Agh.
I can never see myself as a 3w2.. even as my 3rd type. I'm not confident nor outgoing by any means. XD
Maybe there's a shift of wind in me? Heck, I don't know. This makes me feel so unsure and confused about myself now.

[sleepyhead]

I know someone else already noted it, but I just wanted to say again that Enneagram tests are not considered very reliable but they can be a good tool to point you in the right direction as you research the types to find out what your core is.

I'd never taken the test posted and I was actually kind of impressed - it pegged me as 5w4 - 9w8 - 2w3.
I believe I'm 5w4 - 9w8 - 4w3.

[ibage]

6w5, 4w5, 9w1. I'm rather sure on this one as it makes a lot more sense. I previously thought I was 5w6 2w1 9w1 but after extensive research, I came to this conclusion. The type 6 makes absolute perfect sense. If I knew they worked, I'd probably don a tinfoil hat...
