Nick Drake as a Five with a Four wing (5w4; enneagram type). The original 5w4 personification is created by KERKIKERK.

I type Nick Drake as a Social Five with a Four wing (SO 5w4). This typing is very unpopular (he's usually typed as a Social Four), but I think it isn't a problem.

Coriolanus Snow

Type Eight || 8w7 || 835

Type Eight (8w7)

Coriolanus demonstrates throughout the text an almost obsessive fear of vulnerability. It informs many of his decisions; by the end of the novel he resolves to never allow himself to experience love again, as the loss of Lucy Gray and Sejanus have left him feeling weak - and this feeling of weakness almost visibly drives him mad.

Coriolanus falls into the trap of the type 8 personality of relying on his sense of control. He tells us in no uncertain terms that he preferred Lucy Gray when she was in the arena, when he knew where she was and he was not susceptible to feel jealousy. He believes she belongs to him. He exhibits these behaviours with Sejanus and Tigris also. He is very assertive.

Coriolanus’ desire for power and control come from his belief that he is unrivalled in terms of leadership qualities, that at all times - he is the best man for the job. Everything that comes his way, he is confident that he is deserving due to both birth right, and the qualities he believes he possesses innate to him.

Type Three (3w4)

Coriolanus is deeply conscious of his image, and how that will lead to his success. He refuses to give even a hint of his poverty and hunger to his classmates at the Academy and will do whatever it takes to maintain the facade he believes will ensure his social success.

He is very charming and charismatic with his peers, having seemingly long-standing friendships with Clemensia and Lysistrata, and being among the few who don’t openly bully Sejanus during their time at school. He maintains a withdrawn and surface level friendship with all around him - and is very much bothered by the fact that Dean Highbottom does not hold him in high regard.

He is calculating in his diplomacy, withholding the true nature of Sejanus’ demise from everyone aside from Dr Gaul, and swallows his guilt immediately to turn on the charm for the Plinths, in order - once again - to ensure his own success. Sejanus describes Coriolanus as someone who watches everything and only weighs in when he deems it necessary.

Type Five (5w6)

As above, Coriolanus is highly perceptive. His ability and drive to have a comprehensive idea about his surroundings and peers are a kind of armour for him. He refuses to take anybody at their word and involves himself whenever he is spurred by the drive to be fully cognisant of events. To be in control.

He belittles Sejanus constantly for his reliance on emotion and opinion when debating the Capitol’s morality, and the value of the games. He is extremely logical in his approach to gamemaking - a trait that Dr Gaul values, and Dean Highbottom attempts to suppress.

He is isolated and secretive in both his goals and methods, needing only his own counsel and understanding to make any decision.

Thanks for reading! I intend on making more of these as the mood strikes me, Lucy Gray will likely be next.

These posts solely reflect my personal interpretation of these characters based on both the books and movies. If you would type them differently, I’d love to hear your perspective.

I used the Enneagram Institute webpage for type descriptions to make my initial decisions for this post, for more information on Enneagram Types in genera, I can recommend their site!

when dwight said “there’s too many people on this earth. we need a new plague,” i doubt i’ve resonated quite so much with a fictional character in a long while.

[silentaffirmation]

Pray an open prayer. Pray a prayer that stretches over the horizon into the furthest fields and deepest voids of your mind.

You have long been in love with the concept of infinity. You long for infinite wisdom. So open your mind before God. Open it with full-color curiosity. Pray prayers with big questions. Pray the prayers you are not even sure how to say out loud.

God can hold them. God is infinite.

Say to God that you are willing to go into the depths. As sure as your late-night dreams take you to endless galaxies and over boundless seas, God's love is even more boundless. So ask the questions you can't ask anyone else. Even if you can't possibly imagine what the answers might be. Feel the beat of your heart as the words leave your lips.

God can hold them. God is infinite.
