I'm pretty certain that I'm an INFJ.
The only thing I'm not sure about is my Enneagram type. I seem to keep struggling to decide between 4, 5, and 9.
Here are the reasons for each.
For 4:
1. This is the most common type for INFJs.
2. I have a desire to be accepted for who I am.
3. I sometimes feel that I'm different from others.
4. I tend to believe that negative emotions last longer and have greater capacity to define a person than positive ones.
5. I often wish to be different from who I am right now.
6. I sometimes feel that I'm missing something that other people have.
Against 4:
1. I have no wish to be unique and individual. In fact, I often wish I were normal.
2. I don't necessarily consider "authenticity" to be as important as quality, or being reasonable.
3. I don't like to wallow in my own feelings, and prefer to attend to those of others.
4. Art is not particularly close to my soul, though it does interest me.
For 5:
1. I often feel that I'm a detached observer of situations, like I'm looking at everything from the outside.
2. My general curiosity is often what keeps me going.
3. I'm interested in the mental aspect of things, and using my imagination to escape from reality.
4. I'm often obsessed with exploring the implications of an idea.
5. I have a desire to understand reality.
6. I spend a lot of time alone, and don't like the idea of needing others.
Against 5:
1. I don't have strong hoarding tendencies. I prefer to give things to others if I see that they're in need of them.
2. I'm fairly good about expressing my feelings and talking things out with other people.
For 9:
1. I value harmony, and seeing how everyone is part of a whole, connected.
2. I tend to lose myself in habits and routines, escape anger by overeating, etc.
3. I enjoy and appreciate symbolism.
4. I prefer to accommodate people rather than stand up to them.
Against 9:
1. If I feel anger, I usually vent it to someone. I don't think I have a lot of repressed anger.
2. I don't tend to be trusting of others.
3. I usually don't try to tune out reality the majority of the time. When I do, I usually tend to detach from it, not ignore it.
Well, what do you think? 4, 5, 9, or something else entirely?
