Hogwarts is Home

I'm always an INTJ, but I'm all over the place in the Enneagram test. Depending on my mood, I can be more strongly a Three (The Motivator/Achiever), a Five (The Thinker/Observer), or a Six (The Questioner/Skeptic).

I agree with almost all the traits of the three Enneagram types in different moods, and this description of the INTJ (http://typelogic.com/intj.html) describes me almost to a T.

I was tied for 1 & 4, so I am a rational/idealist/intuitive/reserved. I already know I am Gryffindor, and I think the idealist and intuitive both support that, but the way this is interesting to me is that there's a bit of a battle between people who'd rather stamp me as Sirius and those who would rather stamp me as Remus, and I think anyone rational & reserved has got to be a Remus. Huh.

Jess//Gryffindor

From:

I'd agree that those descriptors sound very much like Remus. Sirius, in my head, is the exact opposite of rational and reserved. XDD

Which means that you're either a complement or a contrast to me. I like INTP (complement) better. XDDD

INTJ... ahah. Makes sense though. :)

And the Enneagram I got...5 and 6

okay im a borderline ENFP - ESFP personally i think that ENFP describes me better :]
then for enneagram my top score was tied for the peacemaker / the motivator and then my number two is the generalist and three is the helper

ENFPs are basically happy people. They may become unhappy when they are confined to strict schedules or mundane tasks (I think the happy part fits with Hufflepuff but then since they are hard working I see some problems there). An ENFP may be quite manipulative - and very good it. The gift of gab which they are blessed with makes it naturally easy for them to get what they want (This reminds me of Slytherin, granted not all of them are bad but they have the potential\drive to do it if that makes sense). ENFPs sometimes make serious errors in judgment. the ENFP & ESFP are driven by an overwhelming desire for attention and to be liked. The ENFP is not naturally rational and objective in his/her outlook so genereally the ENTP calculates and plots to get what he/she wants, the ENFP acts on desire, impulse and gut feeling. They have an amazing ability to intuitively perceive the truth about a person or situation, but when they apply judgment to their perception, they may jump to the wrong conclusions (I would say this is Hufflepuff again but they strike me as the type to think through things rather than act right off the bat). When they are in love, ENFPs may either overcommit and ignore any unpleasant yet true facts; or they may undercommit, believing that there may be a better love "just around the corner." Therefore, ENFPs may be seen as fickle in their relationships as they search for the "right one." (That reminds me of Pansy on the overcommitting and Draco on the undercommitting).

MBTI: all over the place

Enneagram: 7: The Enthusiast The embracing ideal-seeker
I prefer the tie to 2-5 myself, but the result is actually 7 (did it twice, heh) so I guess that's okay too. I'm a generalist and I dabble in a bit of everything, and I am enthusiastic. At best, 7s exude a youthful spirit, viewing the world as a giant playground, but at worst, they may become childish with their need for instant gratification.
Too true!

From:

All over the place? How so? :O

Hee, 7 is one of my wings, just a few points lower than 3, 5, and 6 (which are most often tied when I'm feeling calm). "Dabbling in a bit of everything" is sort of like what I do -- I like to have multiple things going at once, but I usually put enormous amounts of effort into everything. (It gets tiring.)

It depends on which test I take. I get everything under the sun in MBTI: ENTP, INTP, ENFP, ESFP... I got ENFJ on the test which I personally think is bullocks.

I'm going to have to do another enneagram test just to see if it's right. :D

From:

Wow, that's kind of crazy. The only variation I've ever had was one test that gave me INTP, which I knew right away didn't suit me as well. But yours seem to be somewhat similar/borderline types, so it's possible that you're... somewhere in the middle? XD

Go for it! :D

From:

caketime.livejournal.com

p.s. I'm just labelling myself as an ENFP. It's the only one I feel that truly fits all of my personality.
... it's not cheating if I just pick and choose with reasons, right?
:D

From:

No, of course not. You know yourself better than anyone. :)

I'am an ISTJ type which kinda makes sense. I tend to follow the rules to show the bosses what a stupid idea it is!

My enegram type shows me as the artist, reserved type. I'am reserved and don't tell people anything unless i know them for a long time, and then tell them too much.

From:

I tend to follow the rules to show the bosses what a stupid idea it is!

I've done that on occasion. It often doesn't work, in my experience, but that might be because I'm driven to make even stupid ideas better with the tools I have... >.>

Heh. I tend to tell everyone too much, up to a point, and past that line almost no one knows ANYTHING.

Annalisa//Ravenclaw

From:

sunshine1112.livejournal.com

It tends to work because i say " We're doing things this way, but this way is better" and show them the options. It's only because they don't do the job and don't really understand how things work!

I know what you mean, there are only certain people i would tell everything to.

ISTJ...which is pretty much correct.

And my number is 8, followed by 1 [leader, then reformer]. The rest fall pretty far behind.

I don't particularly like being a leader but I seem to fall into the position often. I am very rigid when it comes to rules...and anyone who has experienced me as a mod in a community will know that. I'm rather uncompromising; it takes a fight to get me to give in.

Jake//Slytherin

From:

It's funny, because my type (INTJ) says we're reluctant but capable leaders. I love leading, having more responsibilities ~~and a title~~ makes me more active in whatever it is that I'm doing.

But I think I'm weird like that. XDDD

Annalisa//Ravenclaw

From:

I am an ISFP [MBTI] and an 8w7 [Enneagram] which are both really accurate of me yet very different. It fits in with me having a split personality!

The Asserter (the Eight)
Asserters are direct, self-reliant, self-confident, and protective.

How to Get Along with Me

Stand up for yourself... and me.
Be confident, strong, and direct.
Don't gossip about me or betray my trust.
Be vulnerable and share your feelings. See and acknowledge my tender, vulnerable side.
Give me space to be alone.
Acknowledge the contributions I make, but don't flatter me.
I often speak in an assertive way. Don't automatically assume it's a personal attack.
When I scream, curse, and stomp around, try to remember that's just the way I am.
What I Like About Being a Eight

being independent and self-reliant
being able to take charge and meet challenges head on
being courageous, straightforward, and honest
getting all the enjoyment I can out of life
supporting, empowering, and protecting those close to me
upholding just causes
What's Hard About Being a Eight

overwhelming people with my bluntness; scaring them away when I don't intend to
being restless and impatient with others' incompetence
sticking my neck out for people and receiving no appreciation for it
never forgetting injuries or injustices
putting too much pressure on myself
getting high blood pressure when people don't obey the rules or when things don't go right
Eights as Children Often

are independent; have an inner strength and a fighting spirit
are sometimes loners
seize control so they won't be controlled
fugure out others' weaknesses
attack verbally or physically when provoked
take charge in the family because they perceive themselves as the strongest, or grow up in difficult or abusive surroundings
Eights as Parents

are often loyal, caring, involved, and devoted
are sometimes overprotective
can be demanding, controlling, and rigid

That sounds a lot like me, actually, even though 8 has never been one of my strongest wings. XD

I'm an INFP, which is totally Gryffindor. Think Lupin and that's pretty much me. Far more introverted than people think, but totally about others at the same time. Though I'm an off the charts feeler (if you do the Kiersey sorter, I'm 20-0 Feeling-Thinking). And I think that most Gryffs would be F's, simply because impulsivity tends to come through feelings rather than thoughts.

On the Ennegram, I'm a 2 with strong 1 and 3 wings, so people who know me from school almost never get my number correct, as they see the wings instead of how I am when I'm just me. And if you saw me at school, you'd probably assume that I'm an ENFJ, because I'm out-going and organized, but that's because most people incorrectly assume that "out-going" and "extroverted" are the same thing. Just because I can be friendly and welcoming doesn't mean that it doesn't suck the life out of me! What people don't see is that I then hibernate for days.

YES. I have this problem too. I can be very outgoing (although not so much lately, 2008 has made me curl up in my hermit crab shell most of the time) but I'm definitely an introvert, because the way I react to stress and unhappiness is to withdraw and take time to myself to think about it. An extrovert would rather be around people, probably go to a party, to get out of their head. Which I've been guilty of doing sometimes, since it's the preferred method of a few friends of mine, but it never really helps me much. >.<

I have a friend who is so extroverted we say he has "People ADD." Every time a new person walks into the room, he gets all hyper and has to talk to them. I was at a party with him on Friday and he couldn't focus for more than 5 seconds because there were so many people around. I, on the other hand, spend the entire time looking for an exit (or at least a room with fewer people packed into it).

From:

Heh. I don't know that I'd get along with that much extroversion all that well, it'd probably end up wearing me out REALLY quickly. ;)

I lasted about 10 minutes before I bailed. :-)

From:

I am now, and always have been, an INFP. However, as I've gotten older, I lean slightly towards E and J.

This description fits me and my quirks quite well:
"INFPs never seem to lose their sense of wonder... It's as though they live at the edge of a looking-glass world where mundane objects come to life... switching from reality to fantasy and back again... INFPs have the ability to see good in almost anyone or anything... Their extreme depth of feeling is often hidden... until circumstances evoke an impassioned response... INFPs struggle with... duty for the greater cause... the inner conflict as not good versus bad, but on a grand scale, Good vs. Evil... The INFP believes that good ultimately triumphs.

I'm really scattered on the Enneagram numbers. I scored highest as 2 - The Helper, but got only one point less for 4, 5, 7, and 9. So I'm primarily a Helper, and secondarily an Artist/Romantic Thinker Generalist/Enthusiast Peacemaker. Seems about right.

Allie//Hufflepuff

From:

One of my best friends is an INFP, and I adore that type, even though most of the "sense of wonder" and "Good vs. Evil" makes no sense to my TJ brain. XD

From:

INTJ - distinctively expressed introvert, distinctively expressed intuitive personality, distinctively expressed thinking personality, & distinctively expressed judging personality.

Enneagram Number(s) - Tied between Type 1: The Reformer: The rational, idealistic type + Type 9: The Peacemaker: The easygoing, accommodating type, with a side of Type 5: The Thinker: The perceptive, cerebral type.

Another INTJ! It always makes me happy to meet INTJs, since it's rare, although more common on the internet.

Your Enneagram numbers are not much like mine, though, except for type 5. :)

Annalisa//Ravenclaw

From:

Really? That's wild; about a third of my real-life friends are INTJs. And I've almost never been able to find many others online. :)

Aah, type 5 is a good one. xD I figured I'd get the Thinker as my primary one, but I guess the other traits shined through a bit more. Oh well; it's all good.

Mary//Ravenclaw

From:

Huh. I guess I just say that because I don't actually know what most of my friends' types are. I wouldn't be surprised if my closest friend was an INTJ, but the rest seem more Sensing/Extroverted to me in a lot of ways. I've met a great deal of INTJs on the internet. XD

I like type 5, although I don't think I'd like it much if I was only a type 5. Having other wings makes more of a balance -- the 3 drives me to come out of my shell and accomplish something, and 6 makes me actually question rather than just observe. :)

Annalisa//Ravenclaw

From:

The only reason I knew is because we all found a link to a Naruto version of the test & took it - just sheer chance, I suppose. xD

And true, variety is good. The 3 drives me to come out of my shell and accomplish something, and 6 makes me actually question rather than just observe. LOL, that is exactly the opposite of me. I'm very very introverted & don't really doing anything BUT observing. xD But, at least I'm getting better with that. :)

Mary//Ravenclaw

From:

Haha. I should try to get my friends to take the test and see what they are. I mostly just try to Sort them in my head -- the majority of them are Ravenclaws and Slytherins. XDD

I can't just observe, I get bored. Which is why I have trouble learning things like history which I can't experiment on. I like to poke and prod things until I find out how they work, and then make them work BETTER. Which is kind of stereotypical INTJ, in some ways. XDD

From:

Hmm.. I've tried to do that, too - most end up as Ravenclaws or Gryffindors. :D

LMAO, I adore history. xD It's always fun, though, when I can dissect the accepted theories & occasionally develop some new ones. Sort of an unconventional INTJ, but it still fits. :D
