5 would be my guess but the true test is vice and virtues. Do u often feel envy of others lives or like ure life is missing something?

Or do u relate more to the protection of ure resources, trying to need very little and retain as much as you cud

I’d like to hear more about this. I have a dd whose whole world revolves around having what her peers have. She can be manipulative at times to convince me that she’s the only one who doesn’t have it. She can obsess over getting one less jellybean than her siblings. She’s otherwise a really sweet girl. But she loves gifts. She loves having fun. She loves socializing. Her self-esteem is not great but it’s improving. She’s in her low teens.

I have thought of myself as a bunch of different ones but curious what you would say.
I am:
- excellent in social situations
- excellent communicator
- very self aware
- wise
- intelligent and deep but not good with numbers/abstract ideas and not airy fairy spiritual.
- great problem solver, creative thinker
- easily overwhelmed and anxious
- when in the zone can hyper focus and get tons done
- doesn't like confrontation, a bit of a people pleaser.
- empath and generous
- opinionated
- likes things, ideas, expectations to be clear and organized but in real life I struggle with actual upkeep of this.
- justice is huge for me
- struggles with consistency and follow through even though I have brilliant ideas.
- wants to matter/make a difference/be needed
- care to look good and have nice gashmius but my laziness or desire for comfort trumps that.

I have ADHD so some of this is not personality but part of my neurodivergence.

not op but I think you sound like a 6/7

I’ll bite, although I know nothing about this and don’t know what the numbers mean..

I’m,
Talented and creative, although I’m always scared to take these to the next level.
Self conscious.
Insecure.
Don’t love social scenes, unless I’m with family or people I know.
I also can’t be a fake social person. I’d rather come across as snobby.
I didn’t do well in school, so I don’t have the “scholastic” accomplishments like some members of my family. (I didn’t go to college and most of my family did)
I feel inadequate and insecure in front of educated people.
I like to make sure everyone feels comfortable around me.
My love language is acts of service.
Don’t care for external things like jewelry / name brands, but I do wear clothing that most ppl wouldn’t, I like to look different.
Struggle with jealously here and there.
Very messy and unorganized

I've been interested in this topic since grade school. I'm not positive of what my number is but I have an idea. Also, I wish I were a three....maybe in nother lifetime.
I am fearful, judgemental, and somewhat black and white. I don't understand lying or deception.
I'm very free spirited and open to new ideas. I am uninhibited and approach the world with a childlike sense of wonder and curiosity. I often wonder "why?". Convention has no place in the way I behave. If I feel like running I will run, if I feel like singing I will sing. I give hugs, smiles, and complements freely and sincerely. Ideas excited me especially about sociology. I love to help people. That gives me the most gratification. I wish I could make a big difference int he word and be important but I understand that no one and nothing really matters in the scheme of things and that it's all in the details. I have an obsession with death and all things otherworldly. I'm deeply emotionally sensitive and while I can't handle my emotions sometimes I often crave the intense feeling of them. I love music and beautiful things, but only took at and not to own. I don't care about the way I look and shy away from "collecting" physical items. My practical side doesn't want extra things in my life, having things brings me no pleasure. The romantic side of me loves to look and appreciate them. My romantic side also has an obsession with the past and present experiences of people. I am loud, friendly, and people like me but I have few friends. The relationships I have are deep, and only then, fulfilling. I love to think of creative ways to solve problems. I value efficiency and order as tools for a project or job but I have no problem doing nothing with the time saved. I enjoy reading, laughing, cooking, and playing competitive games.

This is fun
I used to think of myself as deep and brooding. Only connected to people who I thought of as deep as well.
Figured out as an adult that I have CPTSD. Now I’m a lot more logical and have less patience for long conversations about feelings.
I still get triggered and have flashbacks at times, and I allow myself to feel but as soon as it’s over I move on.
I’m told I give off a don’t-mess-with-me vibe. I have social anxiety and hate making phone calls. I don’t care what people think of me. I love being comfortable but don’t connect to material possessions. Hate wearing makeup and jewelry.
I’ve been called a “walking encyclopedia”. I randomly go down google rabbit holes about different topics. My kids think I know everything (I don’t). I am challenged with numbers, failed at math, love science (as long as it doesn’t have numbers) and express myself very well through writing and poetry.
I love very deeply, only those I allow to get close. I get overwhelmed easily and don’t have a lot of physical stamina.
That’s about all I can think of for now

Let me ask you then, is it important for you to do good? Or look good?

Do good. As a teenager I have attempted to fit in and be part of but due to circumstances and personality just never did. There is a part of me that loves that I’m different and a part of me that feels very isolated. I also think that objectively I’m not THAT different and it’s exaggerated in my mind

That is totally me. Crazy. I’m just curious what you think about my husband. He’s the complete opposite.
Extremely outgoing.
Life of the party.
Thrives at social events
Smart
Savvy
High self confidence(sometimes to a fault)
Cares about appearance, cares about clothing , he’s neat and put together, but doesn’t mind my messes and makes some of his own.
Will help anyone
Does not care what ppl think about him
A little stubborn
Love language is gifts and words of affirmation
Has a hard time admitting when wrong
Doesn’t hold grudges
I think we work out as couple because we learn from each other.
I definitely learned how to be more social from him, and he learned how to tone it down a bit from me.

This sounds fun! As teenager I used to think I was a seven, and now being more true to myself I know im not. I love helping ppl, always offering to do services for ppl, and to be honest it makes me feel good. Huge ppl pleaser, non confrontational, I hold off saying my opinion if its diff than my surroundings. Cant handle the fact that someone might be upset with me, I over apologize. Love fun, thrills and parties. As child was quiet, tried to stay out of way and never stuck up for myself. Gullible, naive, and believe most ppl are good. Attuned to other ppls feelings, can read their feelings and facial expression. Ppl see me as a kind listening ear, who can empathize and validate. Love making ppl feel good, complimenting them, makes me so happy to see someone else happy. I give up my comfort for others and and would live to win the lottery to give most of it away to my needy family members

Tell you my personality? Well, for sure if it were possible for anyone to write down their entire personality in a post, you’d be able to give them their enneagram number, since all you’d be doing is translating numbers to words.

But even if some people view themselves so plainly, I can’t see myself that way, and try not so see others that way either. How could I write down who I am and hand it over to you just like that, for you to know me and tell me more about myself than I already know?

Alright, maybe I’m being too arrogant here. Certainly, it’s possible for people to notice things about you from the outside that you aren’t that aware of. Receiving such feedback is one of life’s greatest joys, or pains, depending on how it hits us.

But still, I wonder… would you really be able to pinpoint me with one number? And have you spent as much time researching this topic as I have, looking at wings, and tri-types, watching the videos of panels of people claiming different enneagram numbers, trying to find where you fit in? Is it here? Or maybe here…?

Have you been down all the other rabbit holes of other typing systems, gone deeper and deeper trying to understand yourself and others, realizing how complex and intricate and different we all are - but coming out the other end realizing how none of this actually matters because underneath it all we are all one?

I apologize if my tone sounds strong. It’s actually a compliment because I am trusting you with more of my real self than I normally do with people I don’t know, for the purpose of analysis, of course. But if you met me in real life you wouldn’t see this side of me at first. Instead I would be much sweeter, trying to give you the side of myself that would be the nicest for you. Not because I need you to like me but because I want to be good and make you feel good.

There. That should be enough about me for you to go on.

Which other types systems are there besides the Myers Briggs and the enneagram?

I don't think this is necessarily 4, it could really be any one.

4s envy is not just for material things, more like envious of other ppls lives, or ease of which they go through life
