hirano typology analysis <3

okay, everyone! let's start off from this page first thing first.

as you can see he's typed estj 1w2 but let's go further in this:

estjs are te-fi si-ne axis based which means his te and his si need fi and ne to function (this axis is applied for ti-fe se-ni as well and goes both ways).

(for anyone who doesn't know how this works: cognitive function in a stack of 8 make a type AND it's shadow type (your "opposite" type) as you can see in the screenshot up there functions are set this way: introvert > extr. > intr > extr. OR extr. > intr. > extr. > intr.)

let's start with his dom-aux stack

honestly, i believe he's an estj as well so im going to stick with this typing.

his dominant function is Te, i think this guy has an unbearable amount of Te here 😭

up to now I've noticed he is:

- rational

- more in his head than his heart

- pragmatic

- focused on efficiency

- very responsible

- direct (says what he thinks in your face even if it might hurt you (for ex. like when he rejected kagi for the first time)

as for his Si, which is high as well, this is what I've noticed:

- respects traditions (doesn't mean he supports them but he has nothing against them)

- sense of duty and responsibility

- he needs structure and order

- he's loyal

- resistant to major changes

- stubborn

- tidy

actually about his dominant function (between Te and Si) i have something to say about his Fi in the tert-inf stack. i think he uses much more Fi than Ne so I'd move it to tert. position and put Ne in inf. that'd make him an istj tho. in the latest chapter we can see how he thinks it's "right" not to stop Kagi from moving on but it's not an action of pure morality since sensei's shown us his whole reasonment. we can see that it's more of a "rational morality" which in a in a typology aspect is clearly Te and Fi working together. Still, i think both an istj and estj typing are correct since there's only a difference in the functions positions (estj: Te-Si-Ne-Fi istj: Si-Te-Fi-Ne).

okay now comes my fav part of typology!

enneagram, tritype and instinctual variants!

im gonna note them here so I don't have to scroll up over and over again.

enneagram: 1w2

tritype: 152

instinctual variants: so/sp

alright, so. I'd make some changes here.

first thing, his enneagram. i think e1 is correct for him since e1 is a perfectionist who thinks they have some kind of mission, they're usually systematic and responsible (in his case his self-given mission could be helping kagi with his studies for ex.) while for his w2, i honestly don't know because e2s help others out of a personal gain (to feel better about themselves) which I don't think is hirano's case because he genuinely helps others even if he doesn't get anything in return. he could be a 1w9 in my opinion. type 9s look for harmony and peace and fear having their harmony shaken/broken which could be related to his change avoidance? i think it's surely better than 1w2 (since type 2s are subconsciously selfish and he isn't selfish at all).

tritype: i think it's correct, although I wouldn't type him an e5 since he's not shown us he likes to collect knowledge "just because"

instinctual variants: I don't think so/sp is accurate, he's probably an sx/so. from my point of view it's like he values his close relationships more, by this i mean it's like he's completely comfortable with only one person (which is kagi) and I wouldn't change the social typing

we reached the end of my analysis!

it's probably confusing since my thought process is very messy to begin with, I'm sorry if it seems like that 😭

childhood of enneagram types

📍Enneagram 8 : the challenger . ☆ . • ☆ . ° .• °:. *₊ ° . ☆

an E8 kid probably grew up in a dangerous environment or a violent household. Or even if they grew up in a normal household , very early in life they understood that the world is an unfair, unsafe place so meek, weak people don't make it; the thing that matters the most is survival. As a kid they might have felt like it's not okay to feel pain, be weak & vulnerable. It's likely they were betrayed by an adult figure and came to believe that people can't be relied on. They were adventurous kids & frequently got into trouble , when they were punished for it( sometimes unfairly) the kids defended themselves, they fought back, they felt like if no one defends them then they themselves will. This E8 kid was the black sheep or scapegoat child of their family. Just like E1 kids they were forced to grow up quickly. The more rejection they faced as kids the more they hardened their hearts. The innocence of a kid was lost very early. Mostly it's the betrayal, unfairness & rejection they experienced in childhood. The child knew the world is cruel , in order to survive you have the protect your feelings, be bold & assertive. It's likely they lacked protection, even they were a small child they liked to see themselves as big & powerful to defend themselves against it. Growing up the E8 child might felt like one day they will avenge the unfairness they were experiencing.

Fruits Basket Personality Types Part 3: Tohru Honda

Okay, I'm super excited to get into each character's personality type! Rather than stating what Enneagram and MBTI type I think they are out front, and then working to provide evidence, I want to start from scratch. What this means is that in figuring out their Enneagram, I'll list things like their childhood wound or core desire as presented in the manga/anime without worrying about making it match any of the types as laid out in my first personality types post, and for the MBTI, I'll try and figure out their orientations, processes, and type dynamics independent of each other first, and then look at whether my assessment of those elements is cohesive for them.

We'll also go slightly deeper into each character's most likely type (in both systems), looking at things like their Enneagram subtype and wings, and the description and nickname of their MBTI.

Tohru Honda's Enneagram

Wound: Tohru lost her father at a young age, and then almost lost her mother, too. She was left alone for a long period at an age where she couldn't yet take care of herself, and had to grow up much too early. She adopted her father's mannerisms (poorly) out of fear that she'd lose her mother if she didn't find some way to keep him alive. She had trouble making friends, too, so I'd say loneliness plays a big part in her wound.

Wounding message: You must take on your father's traits, or you'll lose your mother, too.

Core desire: This is tricky, since Tohru struggles to articulate her desires, but I think she truly desires to be surrounded by people she loves, and to help them as much as she can.

Core fear: Tohru's greatest fear is losing the people she loves.

Defense mechanism: Tohru's defense mechanism is to repress her authentic self- her needs, her desires, even her personality- to avoid pushing people away.

Strengths: Tohru has a wonderful gift for understanding people, and provides a non-judgmental, supportive listening ear. She's endlessly giving and a reliable friend.

Challenges: Tohru goes along with what others want and doesn't ask for help to a problematic degree. She's spacey and takes forever to make important decisions, often because she struggles to look inward.

When healthy: When Tohru is most in-tune with herself (like we see at the end of the story), she's more stubborn and outspoken, but still with all the warmth and compassion that makes her so wonderful.

When unhealthy: Tohru represses herself and fails to acknowledge her difficult emotions, becoming even more of a pushover.

Looking at all of this, here's what connects when I go back to the Enneagram post:

Wound: could be 2, 4, or 9

Wounding message: could be 2, 3, or 9

Core desire: could be 2, 3, 8, or 9

Core fear: very strongly 9, though with elements of 2 and 3

Defense mechanism: again very strongly 9, though 2 is close as well

Strengths: 2 or 9, with elements of 5

Challenges: very strongly 9

When healthy: 2, 5, or 9

When unhealthy: 3 and 9

I initially thought Tohru was a 2, because she is endlessly giving and puts other's needs before her own. However, Twos become needy, demanding, and possessive when stressed, and Tohru is much the opposite, withdrawing and becoming more complacent and indecisive when stressed. This is why I see Tohru as an Enneagram 9.

Nines will often numb out with distractions, like video games, etc... At first, I had trouble seeing this for Tohru, but then I read that Nines can also use hard work as a means of avoiding their difficult emotions, which describes Tohru perfectly.

In the header graphic of my Enneagram post, that diagram separates the types into triads centered around the head, the heart, and the body (which I refer to as the gut). Types 2-4 are heart types, and their controlling emotion is sadness or shame. Types 5-7 are head types, and their controlling emotion is fear. And types 8, 9, and 1 are gut types, and their controlling emotion is anger.

In each triad, one type will overexpress their controlling emotion, one will underexpress it, and one will repress it. Nines underexpress anger, which absolutely fits Tohru. Additionally, conflict feels more intense for Tohru than for most, which is a key part of Nines.

Wing

Nines tend to have some things in common with either Eights or Ones, called their "Wing." Eight only appeared once in my connections, and One didn't appear at all. (This is probably why I didn't understand her character very well at first! As a One with a Two wing, I really didn't connect with Nine.)

The Enneagram Institute refers to 9w8s as "The Referee," and 9w1s as "The Dreamer." Tohru seems like more of a Dreamer than a referee to me.

Truity describes the two wings like this:

9w8: The Nine wing Eight type is a Nine who shares many of the Type Eight characteristics. This type is independent, social, adaptable, and generally more assertive and direct than other Nines. 9w1: The Nine wing One type is a Nine who has many of the same features as the Type One personality. This type is hardworking, friendly, modest, and generally more serious and diligent than other Nines.

Yeah, I think 9w1 fits Tohru best!

Subtype

Additionally, people will have a Subtype, either Self-Preservation (SP), Sexual (SE), or Social (SO). This refers to the survival instinct that the person prioritizes, whether physical needs (SP), community membership (SO), or intimate, 1:1 connection (SE - this does not always refer to actual sexual connection).

Tohru has a strong focus on her "most important person." At first, that's her mother, and then it becomes Kyo. For this reason, I think she's a SE 9w1. (And Enneagram Explained says that SE Nines can often look like Twos!)

Tritype

There's also something called a Tritype, which identifies the strongest Type in each center for a person. I think it's pretty clear that Tohru's Tritype would include both 9 and 2, but her Head type is a little harder to figure, but ultimately, I think the 2-6-9 Tritype (The Good Samaritan) is the best fit, as described on Katherine Fauvre's website:

If you are a 269, you are caring, inquisitive and accepting. You want to be helpful, supportive, and peaceful. You like people and want to find ways to engage with them. Your sense of pride comes from getting along with others and being of assistance. You are known for your kindness, easygoing, and friendly disposition. You will push for what you think is needed but may struggle with being seen as passive or quietly passive-aggressive.

Tohru Honda's MBTI

E vs. I: This is tough, because I see elements of both E and I, but I think Tohru generally prefers to focus her attention outwardly, and thus is more likely to be an E.

S vs. N: Again, I don't feel terribly confident here, but I'd lean toward N. She makes some pretty big leaps in connecting ideas throughout the series.

T vs. F: Tohru is quite clearly an F, making decisions based on her values rather than her logic, and focusing on how her decisions affect other people.

J vs. P: Tohru is also quite clearly a P, taking a lot of time to gather information before coming to a decision.

Type Dynamics: Without working out what an ENFP's type dynamics are (since that's my most likely guess for Tohru), I see Tohru's Type Dynamics as Fi Ne Si Te.

Fi: Tohru is highly empathetic and tends to keep her feelings to herself, expressing her values instead through her actions.

Ne: Tohru tends to brainstorm aloud quite often (sometimes as a way of avoiding her feelings).

Si: Tohru has a strong recall of specific details from past situations, which she uses to inform the present.

Te: this is harder for me to see in Tohru, but I think the way she went about trying to break the curse might be an example of her Extroverted Thinking Inferior Process, as she showed concern for outside rules and laws, and worked toward her goal in a relatively systematic way.

This... actually fits INFP, which would probably be my second guess for Tohru. She does have a rich inner world that she rarely shows to others. ENFP would be Ne Fi Te Si - close, but in a slightly different order of importance and development.

Now, let's check the descriptions for ENFP and INFP:

ENFP: Warmly enthusiastic and imaginative. See life as full of possibilities. Make connections between events and information very quickly, and confidently proceed based on the patterns they see. Want a lot of affirmation from others, and readily give appreciation and support. Spontaneous and flexible, often rely on their ability to improvise and their verbal fluency. INFP: Idealistic, loyal to their values and to people who are important to them. Want to live a life that is congruent with their values. Curious, quick to see possibilities, can be catalysts for implementing ideas. Seek to understand people and to help them fulfill their potential. Adaptable, flexible, and accepting unless a value is threatened.

To me, INFP is a slightly better fit. INFPs are also sometimes called "The Mediator," or "The Healer," which suits Tohru quite well!

So, to summarize:

Enneagram: SE 9w1 (The Peacemaker/The Dreamer)

Tritype: 2-6-9 (The Good Samaritan)

MBTI: INFP (The Mediator/The Healer)

What do you think? Did I get it right or wrong? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

6 + 3w4

Hello, dear readers! I have neglected this (and my other) blogs for a while, but my 3w4 fix has been busy working on an Enneagram book. I will have a preorder up in a couple of weeks. I’m very excited about sharing it with you, because it contains a lot of unique perspectives, new information, and personal insights into all the types, with growth sections and long wing descriptions (which most…

Hey, what does the 279 mean in your pinned post?

That little number is my tri type! It's a personality test of sorts!

Here's the tri type explained in the best way I can:

What is Tritype?

Tritype is a concept from the Enneagram personality typing system. In the Enneagram, there are nine distinct personality types, each characterized by specific core motivations, fears, and desires. The tritype theory suggests that while everyone has a dominant Enneagram type, they also have significant influences from two other types—one from each of the three centers of intelligence: the head (types 5, 6, 7), the heart (types 2, 3, 4), and the gut (types 8, 9, 1).

A person's tritype is thus a combination of three Enneagram types, one from each center, in order of dominance. For example, someone might have a tritype of 4-7-8, meaning their dominant type is 4 (heart center), with strong secondary influences from type 7 (head center) and type 8 (gut center).

This is usually a more nuanced and complex way to analyze a person. My tritype is 279, hence the number in the bio.

[candysweetiepie]

Hiii, ENFJ here! 👋✨ I have a Tritype question for yall!

Based on my current results (From EclecticEnergies Test website):

Which one would be my Gut Type?

We can see that I am definitely a 2w3 with a 7 fix.

However, how do i know if my fix is 8 or 1?

They are so close in my graphic! I would be very happy if someone explain the differences between 1 and 8 for me 🙏 and how that fix influence my Tritype!!!

🫒🔪Olivia(Player) = ISFP “The Adventurer”🎨💛

In my First impression, I actually didn’t expect the player to be a girl. Second, I never expected her to be a goth. And, yet I never expected her to be THIS QUICK TO IDENTIFY.

- As we saw their first and final look, she wore gothic clothing. It can be a manner of fact that this is self expression already. But to be clear, she just dress the way she feels as a way to express what she feels, right now she wants to kill— [ (Head)Enneagram 4 ]

- She appears quite moody, it’s already likely they don’t seem positive anyways nor see the bright days (kinda, well depending). [ Melancholic ]

- From exploring a lot, to appearing fearless and being apparently action oriented. She’s quite flexible to her surroundings, being easygoing and possibly hinting curious [ Dominant Fi -> Auxiliary Se + (Gut)Enneagram 8 ]

- She does shared some sort of empathy, or likely has a responsible side in her as she truly empathizes with Scrina. I’d think she’d be selfish at first, she can be selfless/reckless for others. [ Self Perseverance + Enneagram 4 + Accomodating ]

- I don’t find her to be the ‘interested’ in a relationship kind of person, fairly or unfair she’d be a littlest too… “idealistic” with hitting on people… [ Sexual + Enneagram 5 ]

- If there’s a reason she went to Alex’s school, it’s confrontational and action orienting. Okay that’s blatant, but then again why would you found a dagger, as well as arm yourself with a crossbow? I’d be very “too flinchy” to hold such a weapon. [ Enneagram 8 ]

- As Olivia we did get to hear Scrina’s feelings and how pained she is. [ Inquisitive ]

- Clearly faint Introverted intuition and non existent Extroverted Thinking. Ni is actually just when realizing/knowing the school isn’t what it seemed to be thing, as well as find meaning to why she came here(Not really exaggerating, as Ni is more of conceptualing and ideals). And Te is ‘F*ck the rules I’m being chased by an abomination.’ Okay but really she’d kind of had an issue with such standards, and could be naturally rebellious. [ Tertiary Ni -> Inferior Te ]

- Olivia’s inventory could only fit “much” things. [ Unorganized ]

Conclusion:

ISFP “The Adventurer”|| 4w5 - SP/SX - 458 || Melancholic (Dominant) || RCUAI

Olivia is an ISFP, “The Adventurer” Type.

ISFP’s are flexible, outgoing and easy going People who can be very fun and great befriending with. In their brightest, they’re naturally empathetic, loyal and authentic, however being an Introverted feeler makes them sometimes selfish, moody and too assertive.

[ Introverted, Sensing/Observing, Feeling, Percieving ]

Self-Perservation Four is more fitting to her than Social four, as SP4 is more of growth or improvement. SP4’s have a more empathetic approach to people, but is often ashamed of doing it as it doesn’t “feel” like them sometimes, since it’s a part of “shame”. But to put it positively, SP4 makes self-expression or using their artistic/aesthetic tastes more meaningful.

Sexual Five, aka “Trust” is characterized by being very intellectually hungry and more curious to the world. In childhood, SX5’s are either emotionally neglected or being intrusively forced to achieve. In this case emotional neglected in what I believe of Olivia, as she like the “romance/sexual” type of person, and seemed disinterested in such connection. In other words, SX5 is just a Sexual type with either trust issues or just couldn’t find the ideal partner.

Gut Eight have to be the best take on Olivia, like there’s got to be a reason why she’s in Alex’s School of reason’s unknown. She’s more of a confrontational character, and more of a challenging type in my take, as the upcoming revamp would display her fearless and brave demeanor. Rather than be chill (Nine/9) or grounded (One/1). (*There’s already an idea of Eight though btw.)

Now it’s likely to point that Olivia isn’t a positive person, in this worse case scenario. Like collecting books, being entrapped by a demon, everyone is being kind of hostile and Alex here just wants to harvest your human flesh. So in this case, Olivia can be possibly pessimistic in a positive sense, since it’s sketchy we don’t know why she’s in school in the first place. However though, Melancholics can be very artistic and poetic and they have taste to any absurd or surreal concepts.

(R) Reserved, since she’s introverted. (C) Calm, since she’s not overeactive. (U)Unorganized, as Olivia is in a hurry. Accomodating, as she’s being realistic, well not in just that way. She’s shown actual empathy after realizing that Scrina doesn’t really hate her, and forgave her on spot. And Inquisitive as she’s willing to be open minded to any thoughts given, that can be depending on the player or her characterization.

Other Notes/Trivia:

Her instinct and tritype is heavily inspired by me(Mary Violetique). As there’s a connection and similarity, like her reckless acts (SP4) and her core feelings(SX5). And admittedly, I was mistyped as 458 honestly. (*Which my gut is now 9, since I’m less assertive when it comes to action.)

Despite the whole “Curse” thing, horrific happenings and etc. No, she isn’t in a Fi-Ni Loop (Where one would try to find more meaning in life, or would try to find a way to have purpose. It’s usually unhealthy if this(*tertiary) isn’t used right).

Ok, maybe this whole “figuring out the MBTI and Enneagrams” thing with all the KINAC characters has been harder than I thought it would.

I’m kinda struggling here. Basic Enneagrams with no wings? Got it.

Enneagrams with wings? Got some of them down.

MBTI types? I’m trying to better understand them with the function stacks but some of them are kinda confusing. In particular, I’m having trouble trying to understand how dominant perceiving functions influence certain people.

Don’t get me started on Enneagram tritypes. They can go fuck themselves sideways. Imagine my current struggles with wings, multiplied by 3. I don’t even know if the last one in my tritype is 8w9 or 9w8. Hell, I’m stuck on the second; 6w5 or 6w7? I don’t even know, man.

But perhaps the worst part is the fucking instincts. Can ANYONE familiar with the subject tell me why every single description I see of the instinctual variants online is so damn negative and unflattering?! It’s like healthy sx2’s or so4’s and shit don’t exist or something 😭

Anyway, it was a bad idea to do this when I’m someone who can’t even tell the difference between an INFJ and an INFP. Unfortunately, I’m not in contact with anyone who both knows plenty about this stuff AND plenty about KINAC, so I’m stuck doing this all on my own. At this point, I’m not even sure of Petal’s personality type.

I’ll get it eventually, y’all, but it’s a struggle…

(I think the problem with me and figuring this out is that it’s not enough that I am given descriptions of all these, I NEED EXAMPLES. Maybe I should go on YouTube or something…)

ENNEAGRAM FIXES PT 1 : HEART

THE FIXATION OF HEART TRIAD IS SHAME

your heart fix is how you deal with shame!

Everyone has a way of dealing with shame, fear, and anger, which are the different fixations of heart, head, and gut. So as a result everyone has a type in said triads, there is your core type and then your fixes. Keep in mind fixes are not the core type, and as a result you will be different from the core! You will just relate to aspects of it, plus how they deal with their fixation of the triad.

2 FIX - HOW 2 FIXES APPEAR

2 fixes often seek other people's love and approval. There is a belief of self importance that they have for themselves (even if not fully aware), and so they try to seek others to prove to them they are important. They lack 4s envious behaviour and the achievement orientation of 3.

3 FIX - HOW 3 FIXES APPEAR

3 fixes are competency and achievement oriented. They seek to prove themselves to others, and themselves, to be the best. They're typically rather competitive. "I'm doing good but I always could do better" is the mindset many 3 fixes have. They once again also lack 4s envious behaviour, but it's more so an anger and belief that they could do better and they dislike others doing better than them (the competitive nature of 3).

4 FIX - HOW 4 FIXES APPEAR

4 fixes see themselves as lesser than others. They're the most obvious heart fix in my opinion because of their self hatred and envious behaviour. They see themselves lacking, and believe others are better than them, and so they envy them.

Fruits Basket Personality Types Part 6: Yuki Sohma

I've mentioned before how much I identify with Yuki. He's such a beautifully-written character; I love, love, love his arc, and the way he slowly takes control of his own life and finds his place in the world.

Yuki himself would probably disagree, but I think he's actually quite perceptive about people, even from the beginning. He's deeply reflective and has a rich inner monologue, noticing things about people that they may not even realize themselves.

I love him. Here's how I see his personality!

Yuki Sohma's Enneagram

Wound: Yuki was sold by his mother to Akito, who verbally abused him over years. He was brushed off by Ayame, ignored by his mother, and rejected by Kyo. He was put on a pedestal as the Rat, and expected to fill the role he was born into. The first friends he made were taken away because of the curse.

Wounding message: You are a tool for others' use. Your desires do not matter. All good things will be taken away in the end.

Core desire: To be independent, to have a mutual relationship, to be seen for who he is.

Core fear: That he's insignificant and wouldn't be missed; that he's always going to be pulled back into that dark place.

Defense mechanism: To lean into the "Prince" archetype and hide his true self, acting aloof, mysterious, and charming.

Strengths: Yuki is reflective, compassionate, intelligent, thoughtful, observant, polite, aware of social expectations and niceties, diligent, funny, and in tune with his feelings.

Challenges: Yuki is closed off, judgmental, rigid, moody, withdrawn, melancholy, reluctant to open up to people, passive-aggressive, and inauthentic.

When healthy: As Yuki develops, he becomes more willing to try new things, to open up to new people, more in tune with others' feelings, and more laid back. He shows his true self to more people and takes risks that help him grow.

When unhealthy: Yuki is depressive, completely shut down, trapped in his head, needy, unable to take action (and therefore reliant on others), and even less authentic.

Looking at all of this, here's what connects when I go back to the Enneagram post:

Wound: could be 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, or 9

Wounding message: could be 2, 3, 4, or 5

Core desire: could be 2, 3, 4, or 9

Core fear: 2, 3, or 4

Defense mechanism: tricky, but I think 4 is the closest fit, possibly 3

Strengths: 1, 3, 4, 5, or 6

Challenges: 3, 4, and 9

When healthy: 1, 2, 3, 4, or 9

When unhealthy: 1, 3, 4, 7, 8 and 9

It's not totally clear from this alone. Yuki connects quite strongly with both 3 and 4, and then to 2 and 9 to a lesser degree. This is fascinating, because 3 goes to 9 when unhealthy, and 4 goes to 2 when unhealthy!

The next two that Yuki connects with most are 1 and 5. Yuki doesn't connect much with 6, which is where Threes go when healthy. Because Fours go to 1 when healthy, and Five is a possible wing of Four, I think Yuki is an Enneagram Four.

From The Enneagram Institute:

Fours are self-aware, sensitive, and reserved. They are emotionally honest, creative, and personal, but can also be moody and self-conscious. Withholding themselves from others due to feeling vulnerable and defective, they can also feel disdainful and exempt from ordinary ways of living.

Emphasis mine. That's totally Yuki, right?

Fours live in the Heart center, and tend to overexpress sadness and shame due to a subconscious envy of others.

Wing

I think it's pretty clear from my analysis above that Yuki is a 4w3.

The Enneagram Institute refers to 4w3s as "The Aristocrat," and 4w5s as "The Bohemian," which I don't think suits Yuki quite as well.

In their book The Wisdom of the Enneagram, Don Richard Riso and Russ Hudson describe 4w3 like this:

4w3: They feel the need to communicate themselves and their creative efforts to others, and so they care both about finding the right mode of expression and about avoiding anything off-putting or in bad taste. These people are more self-conscious and aware of issues regarding their self-worth and how they are coming across to others than people of the other subtype. They create with an audience in mind.

Subtype

Yuki has a strong focus on his own identity, and on being the best version of himself he can be. For this reason, I see him as a SP 4w3.

Enneagram Explained describes SP Fours like this:

SP 4s are the Countertype of type 4 as they react in an opposite way with their vice (envy). They work to get what they feel others have/that they lack (not generally material envy but a more characteristic/wholeness envy). Nicknamed the “happy 4” they tend to keep the sad/hard emotions for behind closed doors.

The characteristic envy they describe is exactly how Yuki relates to Kyo!

Tritype

Yuki has a strong expression of all the Heart types, and a moderate expression of 9. Looking at the Tritypes that include both 4 and 9, I think the 4-6-9 Tritype (The Seeker) is the best fit, as described on Katherine Fauvre's website:

If you are a 469, you are intuitive, inquisitive, and accepting. You want to be original, certain, and peaceful. You are very sensitive and can easily feel reserved and inhibited. You are a deep thinker with strong emotions and can struggle with intense feelings of self-doubt. You seek answers to life’s questions. As a result, you need multiple sources of confirmation. You want to be individualistic but avoid confrontation because you fear it will cause separation.

Yuki Sohma's MBTI

E vs. I: Yuki is highly introverted, directing a lot of his mental energy inward.

S vs. N: Yuki is highly iNtuiting, noticing patterns and thinking abstractly about the bigger picture.

T vs. F: I think Yuki leans more toward F, making decisions based on his values and how they'll affect people.

J vs. P: I also think Yuki leans toward J. He tends to make decisions quickly, and he sticks by them.

Type Dynamics: Without working out what an INFJ's type dynamics are (since that's my most likely guess for Yuki), I see Yuki's Type Dynamics as Ni Fe Ti Se.

Ni: Yuki is in his own head a lot of the time, and is deeply reflective about the world around him. He doesn't always share his thought process, but he's able to make powerful connections through his reflection.

Fe: Yuki seeks harmony with the outside world and with others, and his feelings are often centered on how he sees others.

Ti: Yuki is analytical, which we see in his reflectiveness. He has a strong internal framework and aims to be consistent with himself.

Se: Yuki grows by seeking out new experiences and trying new things.

Ni Fe Ti Se is the type dynamic of INFJ!

Here's how the Myers & Briggs Foundation describes INFJ:

INFJ: Seek meaning and connection in ideas, relationships, and material possessions. Want to understand what motivates people and are insightful about others. Conscientious and committed to their firm values. Develop a clear vision about how best to serve the common good. Organized and decisive in implementing their vision.

INFJs are often referred to as "The Counselor," although they're also sometimes referred to as "The Advocate," or "The Visionary."

So, to summarize:

Enneagram: SP 4w3 (The Individualist/The Aristocrat)

Tritype: 4-6-9 (The Seeker)

MBTI: INFJ (The Counselor/The Advocate/The Visionary)

What do you think? Did I get it right or wrong? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

479 – Gentle Spirit Archetype

479 - This is the sort of sprite or fairy like tritype. There is a need to remain positive while still searching for meaning. The blindspot is that there is an attraction to magical thinking and missed opportunities to speak their truth so they find themselves glossing over negative feeling states in favor of something more comfortable or positive. When 4 is in charge there's a tendency to not see all the ways in which depression or sadness is evaded through this magical thinking process.

the life mission is that this is the true healer archetype. They are often found doing bodywork or other healing practices as these are the 3 types that have a desire to transform. They like to inspire people toward happiness through expressing their creativity in a peaceful non-intrusive way.

She said this is the most lyrical type, a sort of ethereal archetype (so is the 459 but it is a more withdrawn ethereal quality, almost wispy and ghost like) whereas the energy here is lighter and more impish or I think when it's a male energy you get a strong trickster archetype (like dfgray). Playful yet meaningful. Very idealistic (although not quite as idealistic as the 471) but still concerned with maintaining positivity and feelings of being up.

She said this is the gentle soul tritype that has a healing presence on others whether or not they intend to so when she says healer this is what she means as opposed to being vocationally attracted to the healing arts (although this is very common with this tritype).

you are very identified with the defense of optimism and tend to hid your more painful feelings and pessimism for fear of being rejected. you see the wonder in beauty and are gentle, lyrical, and idealistic in the way you relate to others. you are attracted to the healing profession or arts.

your life mission is to identify what is truly meaningful in life and help people transform negative feeling into positive change. a true gentle spirit, you feel happiest when you have creative expression to reconnect with your innermost self and facilitate change.

your blind spot is that you can be so focused on ideal circumstances that you become trapped in magical thinking and fail to speak your higher truth and act in accordance with your true feelings.

your growing edge is to speak your truth even if it will create conflict with others. going along to get along or to keep things light and upbeat denies the truth of the moment and can cause you to become distant from yourself. higher love has a voice and true joy is not dependent on the image of being happy.

This tritype [927] is the most identified with seeing themselves as peaceful. More than any other tritype, they need peace and positive relating to experience a sense of being... so are extremely uncomfortable with negativity in relationships. The 479 doesn't like it but expects it.

4 and 7 together combine to create a sense of the creative, intuitive, magical and imaginative. The gut type determines the flavor. 479s are elegant, wispy and ethereal. When 4 is dominant the 4 is reluctant to show their edgy, more negative emotions. The emphasis is on having an image that is deep but not seen as difficult. Suffering is more private.

The 749 is the 7 that is the most elusive, liquid and fluid. They are positive in a gentle way with a touch of sadness. They are identified with being deep but still future oriented and forward moving whereas the 479 is identified with past and what is missing and believed to be of importance.

The 947 usually thinks that they are the 4 as they see life as bittersweet and feel deeply but they are not as intense as the 4 or as hungry for diversity and experience as the 7. The 947 and 974 seek harmonic resonance more than the the 479 or 794. They want depth and beauty but seek peace and tranquility more. They pine in a quiet gentle manner. They lack voltage...and struggle with naming their preferences in the face of adversity.

If you have the sexual instinct as dominant you could easily identify with 974. The 972 is less ethereal and more focused on being positive. The 974 knows that they feel unhappy, they are more inclined to hide so that they will not be rejected for being negative.

All of the 7-9 combinations are somewhat positive. The 279 is focused on being pleasant. The 379 the most positive. The 479 Is positive outwardly but doesn't always feel it.

The 479 report that they feat that if they show negative emotions they might be rejected.

The 479 with 4 dominant feels devastated by negative mirroring. If a flaw is pointed out if feels disheartening. With negative feedback, the 479 will have trouble holding on to their sense of self... Self esteem suffers as the 479's sense of self is too fluid and takes the shape of the last mirror.

For the most part, 479s like to be in the healing/helping professions where they have the opportunity to use their intuition and creativity.

The 471 and the 479 are both focused on the vision, creativity and the magical. The difference is in the gut center. The 471 has 3 types with access to 1, so are very critical of themselves and feel they must manifest the vision. The 479 is less strident and more soft-spoken and gentle. They are dreamers and intuit but can be shy about pushing to manifest.

9s fear being in conflict. 479 vs 469. Look at the level of confidence and optimism. The 7 brings a light touch with magical thinking, hoping for the best. In contrast, the 6 brings support and loyalty. Both are highly intuitive but the 469 has more doubts - The 479 is more future oriented, focusing on the possibilities. The 469 is more dutiful with a heavier heart, fearing that they can't make enough of a difference.

479 do not realize how healing their gentle nature can be. Your life mission is to identify what is truly meaningful in life and help people transform negative feeling into positive change.

The 479 is more inclined to side step, make nice, and try to get along as conflict feel unbearable.

If you are a 479, you are intuitive, innovative and accepting. You want to be original, positive and peaceful. You are very identified with the defense of optimism and tend to hide your more painful feelings and pessimism for fear of being rejected. You see the wonder in beauty and are gentle, lyrical and idealistic in the way you relate to others.

Inwardly they feel a lot of intensity, especially if they are the sexual instinct. identification is with gentleness and can feel uncomfortable if they share something negative.

479 and 379 I have deemed the "cool guy" tritypes. When 4 is there you get that sort of archetype of the cool artist, laid back, playful, witty, but with a sort of "hidden sorrow". You sense there is more there but that they are keeping you at bay in order to avoid dipping too much into the swamp.

7-4-9 (and the variations thereof) would have a goodly dose of magical thinking. Tending to overdose (in some form) on imagination and whim.

If you knew just how off-base the names 'Healer' and 'Gentle Spirit' are for the 9-4-7 tritype, and how slanted the name 'Ambassador' is for the 9-3-7 (or as you imply 9-4-7 with a very heavy Three wing), how pronounced the narcissistism and exhibitionism of these two tritypes can be, you might perhaps not be so eager to identify with them. Also, the challenge to feel grounded in the physical world, or at least in one's own physicality, is part of the Nine itself, not to mention the Four.

--'a more abandoning and erratic 9. An insatiable and emotionally discriminating 9.':

I'm 974 and others wouldn't describe me as 'erratic' (nor would I). I think 'abandoning and erratic' comes from your so/sx stack, which comes through as a loud note, to me, in your posts.

As for "insatiable and emotionally discriminating", I think this also taps your stack. Your so/sx-ness brings forward the more gregarious aspect of the 7 in your tritype, which manifests as a more-extroverted interplay with those in your presence - though I'm not saying you're an extrovert - there's just more desire for inclusion there. For me (sp/sx), the 7 in my tritype shows up more exclusively as "private mental fun", with only a small interest in "sharing the good times with y'all".

The 4 (in my tritype) shows up as a focus on aesthetics (including a pretty high degree of full-on snobbery in that area), plus life-long issues with depression and feelings of being valueless.

479 - Innovative and accepting 4. Most positive 4. May have defense of optimism hiding pessimism as sadness is hidden.

Also, both sevens and nines have a tendency to want to avoid dealing with negative situations for different reasons...with 7-9-4, I'd guess there would be a lot more denial than the usual 7, but with 4 in there it couldn't be kept up for as long, so there might be cycles of denial-and-crash. There would probably be more underlying self-doubt than is normally found in seven, as well as using the withdrawing defense a bit more.

Yeah, I think seven brings a mild denial through optimism...and then nines tend to get into a bit of denial, because of their desire to avoid conflict/upsetting their equilibrium, so if nine were one of your tritypes, you'd probably have a bit of the "optimistic denial" of 7, but a bit of the "I don't want to deal with this" denial of 9, as well. By contrast, an 8 tritype would probably be more of a sobering influence on the seven, and 1 would probably add a bit of criticality and increased perfectionism (also making for a triple frustration type, with the 4 and 7...but probably less likely due to what you said about the "live and let live" approach to people.)

(4)-7-9 - The Positive 4

4-(7)-9 - The Withdrawn 7

4-7-(9) - The idealistic 9

A dreamer in every sense of the word. They love to go on flights of imagination, and dream up fantasy worlds. They may often find themselves disappointed in the real world however.

974: intuitive and innovative 9. Most creative 9, especially with an 8 wing (i would think 1 wing here). Tends to be moody. Extraverted 7ish.

As a 9-4-7, I value emotion in a 4-ish way. But the valuing seems once-removed in relation to my 9-ness. It's a belief (about emotion), and though beliefs affect behavior and attitude, in the case of the secondary tritype elements, they're not as reflexive as the response from the primary type.

The 479 is more gentle...and more ethereal. The 479 displays congenial attitudes and hides their feelings of anger for fear of being rejected. The 469 is more phobic than the 468. The 479 seems more easy going as they are more conflict-avoidant. They can demonstrate the outbursts of the sexual 4 when there is a threat to intimacy but feel terrible shame as their identity is built around being gentle and kind. The 468 feels more inclined to be the truth teller at all costs so they take greater risks.

479 Tri-type description

479s typically tone down their hyper-emotionality and suffering when around others. They don't want to be difficult, and they don't want to be drama queens. They find such a self-image embarrassing, and they are certain the future holds great promise and potential, so aren't they a little pathetic for focusing on their tragedy? They may self-dramatize and bring attention to themselves at times, but it's typically followed by a down-playing of the tragedy and a reframing of the situation- "All in all, it was probably worth it, and not really a big deal, anyway..."

479s view themselves as special, clever, elite, talented, and regrettably, ordinary. Attracted to the new, the known, and the emotionally intense, they can feel a bit of the will-o'-the-wisp, never quite knowing where their fancy will take them- will the day be mundane or exhilarating? Dramatic or comforting?

Intellectually and emotionally curious, yet liking balance, 479s tend not to push things 'too far'. They may play it safe in a lot of ways, getting their stimuli and emotional depth via books, film, music and other artistic media versus through gritty life experience or putting themselves on the line (although they likely swing through levels of mania or hyper-excitability and depression or listlessness). 479s are somewhat risk averse- the four may dive into dangerous waters but the seven wants to keep things pleasurable and light while the nine would really rather take it easy, so the 479 ends up swimming back to shore, reads a good book in a hammock and then falls asleep, all the while wondering when something big will happen in their life, when they will finally reach their full magnitude.

The 479s' tendency to take the easier road can quite likely lead to a regretful place where they find themselves mired with difficult questions: "Why do I fall so easily? When will I get my drive, determination and self-discipline? What will it take for me to stay committed to one thing, no matter how difficult it is? When is my life going to be how I expected it to be?" These questions (and the failings they acknowledge) may lead to depression and a loss of self-esteem, but that doesn't mean thinking about them and recognizing their flaws is going to get them anywhere. The only way 479s will truly have lives which please them is through sucking it up and getting down to business. This doesn't mean a life of drudgery, but rather acknowledging what matters to them and making it manifest- honestly expressing their emotional range vs sugar-coating it; recognizing that potential doesn't equate ability and experience (and then making a point of acquiring that experience and ability); and not getting tired and apathetic when life throws challenges their way.

With accomplishments and self-fulfillment, 479s can't help but recognize that they possess great worth. They are innovative and creative in an inspired and life-affirming way. They see beauty in all things and beings and recognize the necessity of both pleasure and pain. They are wholly aware that they are entirely unique yet simultaneously connected to every living being, and they are joyful to be living their life, with all its messiness, struggles, and simple pleasures.

Core Fours will have a harder edge and go deeper. They will be more emotionally expressive and darker than the 974 or 749.

Core Sevens will be lighter and more energetic. They will be more upbeat, fun, and enthusiastic/excitable than the 974 or 479.

Core Nines will be more gentle and accommodating. They will be more easy-going, relaxed, and have more of a healing presence than the 479 or 749.
