Understanding the Enneagram and Coaching

The Enneagram is a powerful tool for better understanding ourselves, others and improving communication. There are nine different ways to see the world. It is guaranteed that your relationships will improve once you learn the way you see the world...and the way people you are in relationship with see the world differently. 

Learning the Enneagram will give you insight, tools and strategies that will improve your life and your relationships as well as give you clarity into who you truly are.

Meet the Author, Jade!

The time has come where a proper introduction had to be made, why not grab yourself a virtual hot coco and get to reading. And as promised to join and make content apart from medical/practical things for plurality, lets cover the basics first;

Basics⤵

As the person who created this blog, it's nice to introduce myself to you, my full name is Jade Everson, most people call me "J" by default, and also commonly used by other parts or online friends, will you be surprised if i tell you im 19? do you originally think im maybe younger or older, you're free to answer this or not. Anyway, Im a demigirl, lithromantic, and so so so not into sex kind of orientation (its ace).

Interests⤵

When it comes to my personal details about hobbies and interests, you should think of me as a really possessive french fry eater who would stay in a distance hoping nobody touches my fries and i, because that's totally accurate.. factual joke aside; my key interests are learning & researching, wearing fashion that has vests, flannels, anything green, blue or brown, plus obsessing any potato dish (admit it, potato = good). I am in love with personality tests and astrology too, in fact im an istj, enneagram 3w2 and a virgo, i also started reading books so hope it counts.

Extras⤵

I also got a lil story to end this introduction, like c'mere, you should know that day where i bought a box of high quality chocolate, just so that i can do a friendly fire hit (on the crotch, knee kick, for being a lovely jerk, cute aggression overload) to my best friend because they consented it??? like wow gotta bring a commemorative gift because i would feel bad meeting up empty handed anyway. (please don't do this because it will hurt if it got overshot, i tried my best to be careful) But yeah things went great, thanks for asking, both parties agreed it would be funny to actually execute it. I still remember it to this day because, why would someone consented it right??

I hope you see me as green flags, coming from a past who had a really tough time and get treated wrongly since a child, i have worked on myself so the red flags are little to none, overall im very adaptable with talking to other people, and i have a huge compassion to coach systems to the better life, hope you're not scared or thinking weird of me after that story (why do i have to pick this one out of all anyway, right). Why not share whats impression you got after reading this if you have a moment? And have a good day too!

Advanced Enneagram AI Analysis: Exploring the Depths of Personality Types with Artificial Intelligen

The Intersection of AI and the Enneagram

Artificial intelligence, particularly machine learning, excels at pattern recognition. When applied to the Enneagram, AI can analyze vast amounts of data, ranging from personality test results to textual and speech inputs, to more accurately assess an individual's Enneagram type. Advanced AI systems can identify not only a person’s dominant type but also their wing (adjacent type that influences their personality), stress and growth points, and even triads (groups of three types that share fundamental similarities).

These AI-driven insights help overcome the limitations of human-led assessments, which can be subject to biases, misunderstandings, or incomplete self-awareness. Advanced Enneagram AI analysis By contrast, AI can comb through large datasets, identifying trends and patterns that are often overlooked, offering more precise and personalized Enneagram readings.

AI-Powered Personality Profiling

One of the key benefits of AI in Enneagram analysis is the ability to conduct real-time personality profiling. Advanced algorithms can analyze written or spoken language patterns and behavioral cues to determine someone’s Enneagram type. For example, AI can assess email correspondences, social media interactions, or workplace communication to draw conclusions about a person's emotional responses, motivational triggers, and relational tendencies.

The AI can identify subtle markers, such as specific words, phrasing, tone, and sentence structure, that correlate with certain Enneagram types. For instance, individuals of Type 1 (the Reformer) may use language that emphasizes ethics, responsibility, and structure, while Type 7 (the Enthusiast) may display more spontaneous, optimistic, and idea-driven communication. Through this method, AI doesn’t rely solely on static test results but continuously refines its understanding of an individual’s personality based on ongoing interactions.

Deep Insights into Personal and Professional Relationships

One of the most compelling applications of advanced Enneagram AI analysis is in relationship dynamics. The Enneagram offers a framework for understanding how different types interact with one another. With AI’s capacity to analyze complex relational data, it can offer predictions and insights into compatibility, conflict areas, and communication strategies. By analyzing communication patterns between two people, AI can assess areas where their Enneagram types may naturally align or clash, providing practical suggestions for improving understanding and collaboration.

In the workplace, for instance, AI-driven Enneagram analysis can be used to optimize team dynamics by understanding how different personalities work together. Managers can tailor their leadership approach based on the types present in their teams, ensuring that they support both the individual and collective growth of their employees.

Personalized Growth and Development Paths

An advanced Enneagram AI system doesn’t just stop at identification; it also facilitates personal growth. By continuously tracking an individual's behavior and choices, AI can recommend tailored development paths. For example, if an individual exhibits traits of Type 6 (the Loyalist) but is under stress, the AI might suggest coping mechanisms or stress-relief strategies based on Type 3 (the Achiever), the type toward which a stressed Loyalist might shift. Online MBTI test AI Likewise, the AI could recommend activities or mindsets that help individuals integrate the best qualities of their growth type.

This personalized coaching aspect of Enneagram AI can be invaluable in both personal and professional settings. Whether someone is looking to improve their relationships, enhance their career trajectory, or simply gain a better understanding of themselves, AI-driven analysis provides a roadmap for continuous self-improvement.

[mr-entj]

Hi Mr. ENTJ. You mentioned before that you're a career coach. Do you take the person's MBTI type into consideration when you give career advice to the people you've coached? I'm wondering how that affects what you say or how you say things to them. Thank you.

Yes, but I first take their goals into consideration ("Is my advice going to maximize the chances of securing the outcome they're aiming for?"), then their personality type ("How can I tailor this plan so the person will actually use it?"). Their personality type affects how I frame feedback, pose questions, and tailor potential solutions to their problems.

Although everyone is an individual, I've seen patterns emerge from my 15+ years of career coaching and tracking career outcomes based on type that inform my advice:

xNFPs / xNTPs who join big corporations typically end up miserable and dead inside, better outcomes are seen when they join smaller companies or freelance to do their own thing.

xNFPs are the least money motivated of all the types unless they're enneagram 3s trying to be xxTJs then they try to suck it up and suffer through corporate hell although they're not very successful with upward mobility. Those that persist end up on Tumblr quoting Nietzsche and screaming about individuality and freedom.

xNTPs swing dramatically between having 9,999,999 different career ideas they want to explore or no ideas at all because they're procrastinating and avoiding career planning at all cost. If they have rich parents, they can afford to further avoid career planning for a few more years until they reach back out to me in a panic because they're approaching their late 20s/30s and are now 'behind'.

xNFJs tend to first lean towards big picture but impractical careers that will improve society in some capacity (psychology, public health, social justice) and they'll try to Mother Teresa it for a bit. If it works, it really works. If it doesn't work, they default into corporate roles to pay the bills or go back to school for another degree.

xNxPs and INFJs are highly represented in academia (PhD programs). They're 2 inches wide and 2 miles deep (specialists). Most of them are convinced that more education is always better. For personal reasons, sure. For professional advancement, not always, and at times it’s detrimental.

xSTJs are resistant to joining smaller and unproven startups unless it's their own idea, they have a high preference for joining established companies immediately post-graduation and typically rise quickly.

ISTJs tend to resist or delay taking up people management positions preferring instead to be specialists (highly ranked individual contributors).

INTJs tend to toy with a career in politics while in college until they join the workforce, meet other human beings, and are forced to work with dumb people which set that dream on fire.

IxTJs in careers they hate make the best online memes.

xSxPs you never have to worry about because they always find a way to make money even though their career moves are heart attack inducing.

In need of help to find my type

Hello, I have a question after seeing the post about how different Enneagram stances manifest in making decisions. I did an Enneagram workshop a couple months ago and was typed as a 3w4, I believe it be accurate since it has greatly helped me understand myself, and explain complexes I've had since I was a child. One of the coaches recommended me to get into MBTI as a self help tool, trouble is I see contractions in myself that make it difficult to settle on a type. I got a couple books on the subject and have been searching online but the only thing I can be certain abut so far is that I use Fi/Te vs Fe/Ti. I came to that conclusion because while I'm regarded as logical and dislike emotionalism (it clouds judgement), I could never ignore the morals/ethics of a situation. Living in peace with my conscience is a no brainer. I also have displayed individual values that differed from my family since really young, and I hate when people try to "change my mind" and go against my principles, peer pressure has never had an effect on me. I won't preach to people about how they should live their lives, that's presumptuous and invasive, but I demand the same respect in return.

Healthy Fi and Te, yes.

While I enjoy mastering systems I deem trustable and useful I found that reading the ITP chapters on your book made my brain hurt. To me their way of thinking is convoluted and unnecessary, and there's way too much trust put by Ti on deduction and their own ideas about things, which can be very divorced from reality and subjective. By logic and in theory a lot of things should be true but aren't, because reality is not perfectly logical. If something doesn't work throw it out is what I think, I don't like wasting my time. I just don't understand why they'd take so much time and what sounds like a torturous  thinking process to get to conclusions that to me seem obvious.

Strong Te.

You said the aggressive types repress feelings, but how does that work for the F types in the MBTI? 

ENFPs (since you asked) are very driven when 3s -- image-conscious and goal-oriented, but also firmly aware of their own feelings and motivations and desires; they don't lose themselves in others like a Fe-using 3 might. Strong Te. Immense drive and ambition, but also somewhat inconsistent (being Ne-doms).

[...] I got your book to help speed up the process. Of course I read the whole thing, but it was easy to eliminate the Fe, Si, Ni, Ti and Se dom types. I could also confirm I'm an Fi/Te user, as I found myself highlighting most of what was said in every FP/TJ type chapter related to values and identity.

I would say Fi and Te, but not to rule out FiTe over TeFi unless you would allow your emotions and ethics to override your objectivity. 3s are objective, but feeler 3s often 'overdo' low Te and become callous (in their mind, and in others' minds) rather than having a nuanced sense of objective logic -- why something is factual or correct (TJ), as opposed to bulldozing people to get things done (FP).

I also highlighted a lot from the ENTJ chapter, so tertiary Te seems likely. I don't believe it can be higher because I have issues with discipline and long term commitment to things, I'm impatient with results.

Issues with discipline how? The specifics are important. The ENFP way of life, which is to get all excited about this life-transforming new thing I am going to do, but not see immediate results, and then two days later you are bored with it and chasing after something else (like: I want to lose weight, but I don't want it to take 6 months, it needs to happen in two weeks!)... is different from the ENTJ "I want immediate results" tert-Se tendency to over-live in the moment, leap on things without fully thinking them through, and live a life of great opportunism. A Te/Se user can be very impatient, because they are losing their grip on Ni to develop (or fall into) "here and now." I WANT RESULTS, HERE AND NOW. If I don't get them, I get distracted!!!

I used to be single minded in relation to my future goal when very young, but once that fell apart I became so heartbroken, lost and directionless (definitely disintegrated into 9) for a long time. Now I'm getting back into track by pursuing education in another area, but with a "let's see where this takes me" mentality. I'm open to different opportunities leading me in a different path, as I have different interests I might pursue professionally.

Is it possible this was/is Ni but now that you have found out things don't always work according to plan, you are using Ni in a more flexible way than you used to? Are you a specifics person (Ni) or a "no clue, I will know it when I get there" person (Ne)? What did the chapters on writing tell you? Transpose writing into other things you want to get done -- do you have specific, long-term hunches, a specific vision of what you want, or sometimes need technology to catch up to your ideas (like the guy who invented Netflix -- he knew streaming would become a thing before he even started mailing DVDs; that was to get his foot in the door, so Netflix could be on the cusp when people finally had fast enough internet to support streaming)? Or are you more of a general hypothesis "wing it while I do it" Ne user?

Reading the ENFP chapter the things I related to were: transcontextual thinking, reading a situation way beyond the obvious and trusting my analysis and theories, being able to entertain myself with my imagination in boring situations, always looking at the big picture and seeing most things as connected.

This is general intuition, just as easily Ni as Ne.

The things I couldn't relate to were: I'm not nearly as flippant about ideas/opinions as they are described like. Yes I can do an 180º quickly, but there's gotta be a clear new evidence or happening that trumps what I knew before. The part about changing your own theories and reversing your positions and convincing yourself of the opposite sounds pretty bizarre to me, in fact I have great difficulty dealing with people like that in real life. I think it's because I like knowing where others stand, and that attitude brings up inconsistency and contradiction, things I'm not comfortable with.

This could be Ni opposing a Ne way of thinking, because it's inconsistent and you want a specific trajectory and conclusion to become more permanent. It also suggests, by insisting there be evidence, that your judging Te is stronger than you think.

I'm not bored with reality or think of it as mundane. I'm realistic and not idealistic, I'm okay with the limitations of reality and working within it. I don't look to change the world, only to adapt to it.

That sounds like Te/Se to me. Read the ETJ sections again. I think there's something along those lines in there, where it talks about you don't invent something and sell it to them, you find out what people want and give it to them.

I'm not really interested in nourishing other people's potential, I'm focused on my own trajectory. I'm careful with which ideas I adopt...

*buzzer sounds* Not a Ne-dom. Ideas stick to us like flypaper. We don't have to envision them, we collect them, indulge them, and then abandon them when they're no longer interesting. It takes a lot of time and skill for us to learn not to run away with ideas, or pile them onto our existing ideas, rendering our opinions wildly inconsistent.

I easily cut off  from my life anything or anyone who offends me or whose presence doesn't benefit me. <- strong Te.

I did consider being an IxFP since my Fi is more rigid making me not inclined at all to experiment in a "I'll try everything once" way as much as ExFPs are described. I know what repulses me just by hearing about it, no need to live it out. But I'm a 3 so I can't relate to the resistance to external standards and rejection to rules of inferior Te, or the comfort with extreme subjectivity of dom Fi. So what do you think: does being a 3 account from what I can't relate to in ENFP, or is IxFP more likely?

Honestly, I'd say NTJ. I see strong Fi but it's not stronger than your intuition, your awareness of reality, or your Te. ENTJ?

Quirk type: emmiter

Quirk summary: you The ability to stop molecules and restrict a substances movement. This also gives ability to generate ice, which is done by stopping the movement of water in the air. Using it on a person separates there mind form there physical senses because of the time gap inbetween them. And it also gives the ability to slow down many different types of attacks.

Drawbacks: the objects you inflict will eventually speed up again. And you can’t reverse the effects of your quirk, only time can.

I get busy and forget to come online (sorry)

I’ve made so many friends bc of my stan accs

oh.. and I love @taylorswift

[snapeaddict]

My interest in MBTI has dwindled for a long time now (I used to love all those types of tests, which led me to study the enneagram in school) but seeing your posts/rbs on its inaccuracy made me think of how recently, corporations in my country have been asking job applicants to write down their mbti types and how when I first heard it I was just struck by how weird that was,, I don’t know exactly how they use the info, but I fully agree that treating this as a science could have real damages

Yes it is exactly what I'm taking about when I say it can be damaging! It's really not about people enjoying it as entertainment or trying to find meaning in it while being aware it isn't psychology or science, I mean we all like to do this and it's great if it can be of use to people and for self motivation <3

For example saw on twitter:

To people bringing it up, I’m fully aware that Myers Briggs is essentially pseudoscience. I’ve never even understood it to be something people took literally at all? It’s just a fun personality test that can double as a nice way to self reflect.

And NO problem with that. It's even lovely and interesting.

BUT it is what it is: pseudoscience. You give it the meaning you want it to have. You cannot be not biased when it comes to yourself. And like my mother, a specialist, said, "it's not psychology, and there is often no point in this, because most people will be unable to improve their behaviour even with a broad overview of how they function at the moment they took the test." What can help and IS science is cognitive psychology (for example find out what are your automatic thoughts, the most important values in your life and your motivations to ACT accordingly. This works).

Dr. Adam Grant explained, “The Myers-Briggs is like asking people what do you like more: shoelaces or earrings? You tend to infer that there’s going to be an ‘aha!’ even though it’s not a valid question. ... [It] creates the illusion of expertise about psychology.”

Personality tests like Myers-Briggs give people labels. Those labels are often taken at face value and used as a fundamental aspect of a person's identity. "I am a [fill in the blank]."

Why is it harmful that this is used when hiring people?

1. The scientific grounds for the MBTI test are missing and based on OUTDATED science.

In 1917, Katharine Cook Briggs began research into personalities to determine her future son-in-law’s personality. Soon she was joined by Isabel Briggs Myers, who added the different personality types based on the then recent work of Carl Jung. Neither Myers nor Briggs were formally educated in psychology and lacked scientific credentials in the field of psychometric testing. The work attracted the attention of Henry Chauncey, head of the Educational Testing Service. They developed their work to a commercial test in 1975 then sold the test and the manual to Consulting Psychologists Press (CPP). MBTI is based on eight hypothetical assumptions and until this day there has been no scientific proof to support the claims of the method. Carl Jung admitted the basis of his research was anecdotal and has not been subjected to any control study. So he just made these things up by himself and added some stories from his friends. 

2. The black and white MBTI scales force binary behavior

3. The MBTI test results are a Self-fulfilling prophecy

4. It is a huge BUSINESS using pseudoscience to make profit

The test only takes 45 minutes and can be purchased by certified MBTI organizations. Most of the time it is an online test program. The MBTI test is owned by the MBTI Foundation and executed by Consulting Psychologists Press (CPP), a privately owned company with no annual report available online. At the MBTI Foundation you can certify yourself as an official MBTI testing facilitator (amongst others). A percentage of the money you pay for your MBTI test goes to CPP. A study by David J. Pittenger shows 2 million copies of the MBTI test are being sold annually. This roughly calculates to a market with an annual turnover of about 500 million dollar in testing fees alone. This explains the extensive investment in marketing and research projects to generate pseudo-scientific proof for this method. There is a lot of money to be made from MBTI testing and from the additional training and coaching programs. MBTI is big business.

5. Makes people believe PERSONALITY IS INNATE. Spoiler, it's not.

So using this in workplaces is damaging and wrong and unethical. It has no predictive value so isn't predictive of your performance.

[jitterbugjive]

So my mom got me a book for my birthday that I’ve wanted to own for YEARS, which is “The Wisdom of the Enneagram”.

The enneagram is a perfect tool for writing believable characters, and this book goes in to more detail than any online source I’ve found. There are entire chapters dedicated to each personality type and it explores all sorts of possibilities.

Right now I’m studying Suzie’s type and Coach’s type.

Suzie is a type 1, The Reformer

While Coach is a type 7, The Enthusiast

You can get a good summary of the two here if you want a good idea of what Coach and Suzie’s strengths and weaknesses are:

Obama MBTI

I saw that you typed Barack Obama as an ENFJ recently, and I’ve seen that as well as ENTP online elsewhere - but I’ve been reading his newest memoir and he comes of as an INFP to me - which was a surprise! I’m not very adept at typing people though so I’m wondering if you could check my judgement on this:

I see his Fi in how he talks about his moral convictions and is uncompromising on his ideals of how politics should serve people. When he writes about his campaign, he talks about how they went against all conventional wisdom at the time and his main strategy was to be honest, even if it meant saying things he wasn’t ‘supposed’ to say as a politician. He also insisted on writing all of his early speeches himself to make them more authentic. He talks about not really caring if he made other people mad or upset on the campaign trail if they were simply reacting to him, but that he would become livid if anyone on his team said anything disrespectful about another candidate, even if it was just internal (seems more fi than fe to me). He also seems to have a strong Fi prioritization of his morals and vision over his family harmony in the sense that Michelle was incredibly vocal about not wanting him to be in politics and his response seems to be mostly shrugging and saying it’s what he 'has to do.’

His Ne seems fairly obvious in his writing - he’s a huge policy nerd who wants to know a bit of everything about everything - all in order to support his strong Fi ideals. He talks about how he had to be continually coached out of giving long, complicated responses involving multiple sides of every argument while on the campaign trail - and not getting that people didn’t want to hear that.

I’m not sure about Si, but he does mention having a hard time organizing things and how he has to have his team on top of all the practical pieces of things, which seems to fit with low Te.

It seems a lot of people have typed him as extroverted because he seems charming and personable, but from his writing it seems this is not when he is most comfortable. He says multiple times that his favorite times are when he is left alone to read and write and develop his ideas on topics. All of this just gives me a very strong INFP vibe - though that seems like an unusual type for a politician! My guess is that he’s an enneagram 3w2. Thoughts on my typing - or am I thinking about the functions incorrectly?

I still think ENFJ. Why? Because INFPs’ refusal to change / adapt to the outside world (tending to think everything is targeting them and doubling down on being defensive rather than opening up with Ne to explore) does not make for a very good politician. They are clueless about how to get other people on board with their ideas, due to a low Te tendency to just walk away if they don’t like you and/or you don’t understand them, and a Fi-dom detachment from anything but their own feelings on the subject. Obama successfully mobilized many, many people and convinced them he had all the answers and was going to change their lives for the better, through a universal FeNi message of “hope and change.” He had a Ni vision he implemented (get elected, pass ObamaCare), he used the support of the masses to do it (which he generated through a Fe tactic of “let’s do this together... we can make a difference... the future is ours...”), and he struggled mightily to deal with anything outside his Ni scope (that is to say, he was poor at reacting in a crisis and slow to decide what to do -- weak Se).

Don’t make the mistake of thinking all Fe-doms are accommodating -- they are not. Don’t make the mistake of thinking they don’t have strong opinions that they won’t change for other people -- they do. Fe-dom is more of the nature of “I do not like this and you are going to hear about it the second I feel this way” than “I will give you whatever you want to keep harmony.” ENFJs are determined to make their mark on the world and you can either get on board or go away. They know they are here “for a reason” and “they must do it” (strong Ni).

Being a huge policy nerd isn’t Ne. Ne is unfettered idealism and changeability -- a politician with Ne would be constantly seeing multiple perspectives, which is not one of his strengths. He likes to go away and develop HIS ideas alone, which indicates an introverted N process. Ne goes to the outer world, to expansion to grow ideas, and Ni pulls inside itself.

I’ve seen 9w8 for him and.... I would agree with it. A huge tell is that everyone projected things onto him as president -- they took ownership of him and assumed their needs and wants and ideals were shared by him, due to his extremely vague way of phrasing most things. You could never pin him down, and that mass level of projection and engagement is common in a gut type, especially a 9 who seems like a calm, unflappable but ‘determined’ blank slate. It would also lend itself to the stubbornness you mentioned in wanting to do things his way (due to the 8 wing not really caring if you disagree). But I would say 3 is his next fix, yes.
