the fact that is impossible for me, in one life, to study classical studies, archaeology, international relations, all the literature in the world, get a languages degree in italian, german, greek, latin, russian and french; learn how to play the violin and also piano, cello, guitar and the flute; learn how to sing, both modern singing and classical singing/opera; is my villain origin story.
Enneagram Subtypes Explained
Self-preservation
Seeking health, resources, and security. They’re concerned for their own well-being. When they walk into a room, the first things they notice are the foods available, the temperature, exits, the amount of people inside; the general atmosphere. They’re quick to notice if something is wrong with the room, whether the light bulb keeps blinking or the painting on the wall is off. They are busy asking themselves, “Is this suitable for my needs?” The focus is themselves and they’re trying to be independent and comfortable, so they pay a lot of attention to their belongings and finances. Most serious out of the three subtypes and less interested in interpersonal contact. Independence is very important to the SP, and they will make changes in their environment in order to feel secure. They tend to be uncomfortable in their relationships or social lives if their survival needs aren’t being met, and they prefer being with stable, easygoing partners. They feel like it’s up to them to bear through, and they must make it on their own. Survival is the key, so they need to feel healthy and pleasant in their environment.
Sexual
Despite what many people think after scoring this subtype, it doesn’t connote anything sex-related; it doesn’t mean you’re interested in sexual activities. The sexual subtype is always aware of chemistry they have with others, and they have an innate drive for stimulation in their relationships. Many people with this subtype go from partner to partner in hopes of finding that one person they belong with. The desire of this subtype is a fusion of themselves with someone else, “losing yourself” in someone else. Most likely to believe in soulmates, or other halves. They’re emotionally intense, not afraid of aggression, and fearful of not having intimate relationships. SX feelers or type 4s run a risk of being clingy in their intimate relationships; SX thinkers are likely to be called “gooey on the inside.” The sexual subtype always needs a deep connection that pulls them to do something, like an inspiration. They’re the ones that are likely to paint their whole house all over again because of a new ideal they feel connected to. They’ll neglect their own health if they have been caught up in something they feel connected to. The sexual subtype wants to feel a charge in all their passions, and they feel alive through the experiences they have with others.
Social
This subtype seems to be the most looked-down one out of all three of them, partly because descriptions haven’t done it justice and partly because introverts skip over thinking they can be a social dominant. The focus is on the collective, and they’re always aware of the group and their position in the group. They are concerned with doing things that impact their community on a higher level, and in some cases, would like to see their face on a totem pole. Unlike the sexual variant, who seeks intimate connection, the social subtype is interested in personal connection. With that being said, many people of this type love having friends they can count on who will be there for them, even if they’re not necessarily “best friends.” The descriptions for this subtype say things like, “they try to fit in and they want to be in groups,” which is general and extremely vague. This subtype is concerned about the community as a whole and strives to improve it. Social variants are usually more out-going, but this manifests differently depending on your enneagram type. For example, a type 2 SO dominant would be a classic ExFJ and would seek to improve their environment by being there for it and offering it love; whereas a type 8 SO would be the most likely to want to leave a mark on their community, and a type 5 SO would want to be the neighborhood shaman, or go-to person for advice.
it is past time we jettisoned the useless false dichotomy of introversion vs. extroversion and just accepted that everybody has a minimum amount of social interaction, failing which, they get really weird. and everybody has a maximum amount of social interaction, exceeding which, they get really weird. these levels are different for everyone, for a variety of reasons, and have no moral dimension. and that is all.
why would you come to this club and just shoot Myers & Briggs like this
IMO, it’s healthier to conceptualize it this way. So instead of being like “why am I being so weird? I’m an introvert, I like being alone!” you say, “Ah, I must be supergluing googly eyes to my bathroom faucet because I haven’t met my minimum threshold of social interaction and I’m trying to fill that void with these tiny pieces of plastic. Maybe I should invite someone over for dinner. They sure will be surprised by all these eyes watching them while they poop.”
accidentally indulged in too much ‘me time’, turns out i’ve been reported missing for over six months and presumed dead by most local and national authorities
trying this new thing where I make my decisions based on “common sense” and not my prophetic visions & omens
“i get my energy from social interaction” “i get my energy from being alone” i get MYenergy from my Sacred Amulet.
Sad but true lol. MBTI is not the final word on anything.
i have to take every single personality quiz i see because i am obsessed with myself and love to answer meaningless questions
INTJ: *plans out full day schedule*
Somebody: *talks to INTJ*
INTJ: Great! Now my schedule is messed up!
how to meld all ur identities into one n not be afraid to exist as a contradiction
CJ Hauser, “The Crane Wife”
“When one suffers from alienation, it means that one experiences parts of one’s self as alien to one’s self. For example, if you were never allowed to express anger in your family, your anger becomes an alienated part of yourself. You experience toxic shame when you feel angry. This part of you must be disowned or severed. There is no way to get rid of your emotional power of anger. Anger is the self preserving and self-protecting energy. Without this energy you become a doormat and a people-pleaser. As your feelings, needs and drives are bound by toxic shame, more and more of you is alienated. Finally, when shame has been completely internalized, nothing about you is okay. You feel flawed and inferior; you have the sense of being a failure. There is no way you can share your inner self because you are an object of contempt to yourself. When you are contemptible to yourself, you are no longer in you. To feel shame is to feel seen in an exposed and diminished way. When you’re an object to yourself, you turn your eyes inward, watching and scrutinizing every minute detail of behavior. This internal critical observation is excruciating. (…) This paralyzing internal monitoring causes withdrawal, passivity and inaction.”
— John Bradshaw, Healing the Shame that Binds You

Oh hey I made a chart
My experimental lab TA hates the myers briggs and said “if you flip a coin, heads as like, thinker, and tails as feeler, and mid-air you’re thinking “I hope I get ___,” that’s gonna be just as accurate as any test you take.” And like.... he’s not wrong
How Functions Work: Inferior Se (INTJ/INFJ)
The inferior function is the hardest to understand and describe. It embodies the part of us that we are least accepting of. Although we are often unaware of its activities, it would be inaccurate to describe the inferior function as “weak” because all of our core functions are powerful in their own way. The power and force of the inferior function actually comes from the mistaken assumption that it has no power. We underestimate the inferior function at our own peril.

Enneagram Proof Check
Since each center relates to one way in which you interact with the outside world using its self-talk and defenses, the following are examples of motivations, deterrents, and behaviors related to each center.
Gut center: anger and how you channel it
1. You have ever been morally indignant over something, and either justified yourself in addressing those concerns by telling someone off frankly and to their face, outlining the reasons they were wrong (1w2) or you have refused to sink to their moral level or assert your opinions, despite a total belief in their moral justification, out of a desire to avoid conflict (1w9)
8. You have ever seen abuses happening and ‘rushed in to level the playing field,’ using your fists, voice, or otherwise onslaught of protectiveness toward someone or something being demeaned or abused; you are unapologetic about your anger and tend to become more aggressive and defensive if challenged or moralized at (8w7) or you become more appeased and able to calm down, numb yourself in order to maintain peace with loved ones (8w9)
9. You have ever avoided asserting your anger out of a desire to avoid conflict or separation from loved ones, sometimes feeling resentment that others do not do the same, or admitted to a quick-fading anger or lack of awareness of being angry on a regular basis; this either comes with a strong slant of ‘should’ and ‘duty’ and righteous indignation (9w1, though rarely asserted out loud) or occasional spurts of aggression and anger that subside when the resulting conflict makes you uncomfortable (9w8)
Heart center: emotions, how others perceive you
2. You have ever felt like you are the ‘continual giver’ and never the receiver, like you must constantly give way to the needs, wants, and requests of others, but find your own hard to put into words or articulate; you become resentful of the lack of consideration others show you ‘in kind’; you either want to be the ‘best’ at this that you can possibly be, and have the largest impact (2w3) or grit your teeth and bear disappointment, out of a sense of larger moral responsibility or duty (2w1)
3. You have ever taken on others’ traits unconsciously to appeal to them, adapted to survive, or felt like your self-worth was tied up in how well you perform or what you accomplish; you are generally uncomfortable with close emotional relationships and have a strong sense of awareness in terms of what others think of you (and you want them to see you as ‘successful’); you are either more people-centric, concerned with gaining a large audience and being well-liked among them (3w2) or more focused on individual projects and willing to put aside ‘people’ for self-preferred results (3w4)
4. You have ever felt like you have a fundamental flaw that makes you generally misunderstood, persecuted, or alienated, that others do not want you with them and have no interest in your greater welfare; you are prone to magnifying your emotions in an effort to self-express and cannot move past them without fully processing them slowly; either you are able and willing to adjust your persona to appeal to a wider audience, and broadcast your feelings (4w3) or you are less concerned with external opinions and more preserving of your inner, darker world (4w5)
Head center: fear, from where logic originates
5. Your fear of the outer world drives you to build up inner resources, ranging from excessive knowledge in survival skills to avoidance of emotionally intense or intimate relationships; you measure and ‘dole out’ resources (from what you know to your energy level) carefully, and can be accused of stinginess, but trust your own conclusions above all others; either this manifests with occasional dark decadency into melancholic or intensely moody moods (5w4) or branches out into others-centric interests and the desire for inclusion and sharing (5w6)
6. Your fear of being alone / abandoned drives you to reach out to find some system or individual in which you can place your trust, but you have to fight your natural skepticism, tendency to test people, and deep questioning to do it; under external pressures, you either dig into yourself and become withdrawn and difficult for others to access (6w5) or more extroverted, able to convince yourself ‘it will all turn out fine,’ and seeking of mental distractions (6w7)
7. Your fear of being tied down into boredom, which might force you to look inward and face your horrifying demons (mistakes), drives you to seek almost continual distractions in the form of whatever catches your eye; you are prone to defensively protecting your decisions from outside scrutiny and not often inclined to admit to mistakes; when you feel threatened, you either become more suspicious of others and attempt to make yourself liked and feel supported (7w6) or you move into aggression and combative behaviors (7w8)
Sometimes, you can determine the order of the fixes after your core by thinking about what is most instinctual in terms of your responses. Gut-first types have instant reactions; heart-first types respond by defending their persona or identity; head-first types withdraw to think through the potential pitfalls of their immediate commitment. If your brain goes “… I need to think about this carefully,” followed by “… I need to come out of this looking good,” but you have trouble accessing your anger or knowing what to do with it, you could be heart > image > gut. Think of your last fix as the one you neglect the most.
Gut types last: struggle to react based on pure instinct
Heart types last: struggle to consider how others are responding to them
Head types last: struggle to step back and evaluate before decision-making
Head/gut > torn between logic and instinctual anger responses, or vice versa
Heart/gut> inclined to react rapidly and based on emotional responses
Head/heart> internal struggle between ‘what I think and how I feel’
Etc.
