hi! i've spent quite a lot of time figuring out what my type would be exactly and i've mostly settled on being an INFJ 9w8 5w6 4w5 so/sx. Sometimes I still question if I might be an ISFP instead, and if I might be sx/sp instead or even sp/so or so/sp. I'm pretty sure on my enneagram but sometimes still a bit iffy about 5w6 vs 5w4 and maybe even 2 instead of 4. extremely sure about being a 9 with really strong wings on either side. With all of these considerations taken into account I tend to still settle on the type mentioned, but for some reason it looks so weird to me and I haven't a clue as to why (probably because it would be illegal to be as codependent as the type suggests). I've thought a lot that my tendency to shut down Fe and go into Ni-Ti loop + the strong 1 wing + my withdrawn tritype (in which i relate heavily to type 5) all kind of combat being as unhinged as you'd think i'd be. I was just wondering if you had some comments/suggestions. I tend to be very honest with myself and don't think I'm lying to myself about being a certain type or not - but still just very confused. This might just be my 9/6 energy trying to look outside of myself for some kind of confirmation that my intuition is correct, but still, maybe you have something to say? Thanks for reading this anyways and I hope you're doing well :)
Apologies for the late response, I hope you are well too. Currently, I have been reading more authors such as Naranjo, Ichazo, and Maitri, and their descriptions are super helpful in deciding on Enneagram. Naranjo rambles a bit but a concise description of his take on Enneagram can be found on an Instagram page called: indepth_mbti. I adore this page and highly suggest checking them out. They also have breakdowns of cognitive functions and how to pinpoint one's type on their page.
I see a lot of ISxPs getting mistyped as INxJ, so it could be possible you are mistyped. However, that is for you to decide at the end of the day. 954 tritype would make you an introverted type by default, but from what I've seen ISxJ tend not to be 5+4 fix. 952 is also a pretty introverted type, but I think it is more versatile than 954.
How I determine 2 vs 4 is Pride vs Envy and how it manifests. Like I said earlier, I think indepth_mbti made great posts regarding.
However, I would say that if you are experiencing distress due to mental health, mixing it with typology can possibly make it worse. I say as someone who has obsessed over my type when I was in a horrible unhinged state, and I looked like many different types. Mental health and typology do not correlate, at least not entirely imo. There, of course, would be similarities but deciding or pinpointing your type solely on negative factors does not seem like the best decision. (I could have just made an assumption here bc I am tired atm but I thought I should include it just in case you or anyone else needs to hear it.)
I hope this helps :)
