Sorry about the second post but...

I, obviously, am an INTP, and was wondering if there was any correlation between the MBTI results and Enneagram

There are certainly statistical correlations between MBTI and Enneagram, a table of them is given about halfway down the following page.

Technically, any MBTI can go with any Enneagram number, since Enneagram is looking primarily at motive and underlying beliefs, whereas MBTI examines behaviours and preferences in action.

"...This caught my attention because of the user who posted and was an ENTP and 2wsomething. I figured that all NT types would fall under 4,5 or 6 since that's the "intellectual" personality or whatever

I'm an ENFP, and can getting anything from a 2 with even wings, to a 3w2, a 1w2, a 4w3 or even a 7 in enneagram. I just the Enneagram rather limiting (if interesting) - it doesn't seem to allow for much variation in one's motivations. I mean, I possess elements of all those types!

Have you considered being a mixed type? 2's are often related to INFP's and a 7 is considered for ENFP's. I think MBTI is limiting. *grin*

My E preference is probably my most obvious personality trait upon first meeting me, so I doubt I'm INFP (although one of my best friends is one, and I think they're great ;)). It's my P that's weak, but I'm nowhere near selfless enough (and far too generally enthused) to be ENFJ.

I'm too controlled and non-hedonistic to be a 7, despite my need to experience and be in the centre of everything.

hrmm... curious. :) I have always seen ENFP's as hedonistic. :-) So it's believed that ENFJ's are not really enthusiastic?

And INFP's so Rock!. :)

cheers!

I consistantly test 8W7 and 8W9. I'm XNTP. i'm not as in to money as the enegram suggests, but I am decisive, agressive, and pleasure seeking. All "8" traits. I am also highly concerned with ethics and spirituality, something not reflected in my engram type.

5w4 (but I think I already said this in another post)
