Does it even matter why? If you can be happy, just go for it.

My feelings/ senses really are weirdly crazy at times.

I sh*t you not the last two days I've been humming Christmas songs.
Silent Night, Jingle Bells....

Anyway....

New day, New start.

@Faith, I get you..no worries

@Dop.. Are you also thinking of discussing placements that go with those personality types? If you are then you might just stick it in Astro 2.0. Otherwise not sure, sweet peas or LLC2 or others that I don't know of...(?)

Yeah, well yesterday was weird. The trip was actually hellish - to get there I mean (we were caught in jamtraffic for over 2 hours, which made it a drive of over 6 hours instead of 4, and almost without break - unless you count standing practically still in a caravan of cars. lol)

So that was the not so nice part.
There were nicer parts though, as in the chatting with my aquaintance and her aquaintances and then there were other parts to the day, too.

ETA: I wonder what subforum I should post personality type discussion. (MBTI and Enneagram)

---

I love that! But I found myself humming christmas songs as well. Weird.

I do not know about where to post the other typologies, but well if comparing to others, you can keep it here I Guess.

My MBTI is either INFJ or INFP, it depends a little, if I am in school I tend to score INFJ and if on holidays INFP. lol
Though I guess INFJ is more frequent?

AS for enneagram, it`s been long ago I did those, but whenever I did I scored very high on 5 and 6 (and occasionally 4). Sometimes it was main 5 with wing 6 sometimes the other way round.

Well I'm glad you ask.

We can keep discussing it here as well if no one minds.

I really like this one!
I found it being recommended by others in other forums. It's good.

As for MBTI, well I used to be an INTJ then went INFP. But haven't taken one recently. Wonder what it says now.

posted September 20, 2016 09:25 PM            

I'm stunned! So far only one person hasn't been 6w5 or 5w6. Granted, it's a tiny sample size right now.

Mine is as follows:

Type one: 36
Type two: 3
Type three: 28
Type four: 34
Type five: 53
Type six: 39
Type seven: 3
Type eight: 26
Type nine: 36

I'm a 5w4 .. whatever that means..

Oh, I'm reading descriptions and it seems to fit (so far at least). But I haven't explored the types yet, so not sure if another might fit better (not that that's up to me to decide, just curious).

"The traits of the Five and those of the Four reinforce each other in many ways. Both Five and Four are withdrawn types: they turn to the inner world of their imagination to defend their egos and to reinforce their sense of self.

Type 5

quote:

---

Type Five in Brief::
Fives are alert, insightful, and curious. They are able to concentrate and focus on developing complex ideas and skills. Independent, innovative, and inventive, they can also become preoccupied with their thoughts and imaginary constructs. They become detached, yet high-strung and intense. They typically have problems with eccentricity, nihilism, and isolation. At their Best: visionary pioneers, often ahead of their time, and able to see the world in an entirely new way.

Basic Fear: Being useless, helpless, or incapable
Basic Desire: To be capable and competent
Enneagram Five with a Four-Wing: "The Iconoclast"
Enneagram Five with a Six-Wing: "The Problem Solver"
Key Motivations: Want to possess knowledge, to understand the environment, to have everything figured out as a way of defending the self from threats from the environment.

---

Type 6

quote:

---

THE LOYALIST
Enneagram Type Six
The Committed, Security-Oriented Type:
Engaging, Responsible, Anxious, and Suspicious

Type Six in Brief
The committed, security-oriented type. Sixes are reliable, hard-working, responsible, and trustworthy. Excellent "troubleshooters," they foresee problems and foster cooperation, but can also become defensive, evasive, and anxious—running on stress while complaining about it. They can be cautious and indecisive, but also reactive, defiant and rebellious. They typically have problems with self-doubt and suspicion. At their Best: internally stable and self-reliant, courageously championing themselves and others.

Basic Fear: Of being without support and guidance
Basic Desire: To have security and support
Enneagram Six with a Five-Wing: "The Defender"
Enneagram Six with a Seven-Wing: "The Buddy"
Key Motivations: Want to have security, to feel supported by others, to have certitude and reassurance, to test the attitudes of others toward them, to fight against anxiety and insecurity.

What's funny is that to me it's all very true. However, as I grow older some things become more true and others less true.
Are you able to think back, perhaps years ago and see some traits fade and others come to the front?

The tables. Well, yes I normally would think, "nah. There's no way!". So far with the few here who have participated there's a lot of 5 and 6. I totally didn't expect that. I thought that I was a weirdo. Well, I probably still am.

Yes, I think when I first did that many years ago I was a main type 5 with wing 6 or 4.

What happened for me is that I`ve become more connected to the present experience.

While 5`s usually or at least frequently detach from the experience the moment it happens and sort of "save" it for a later examination through the mind and only THEN experience it (it`s extreme, I know, but I was at the extreme end of this), I`ve started FEELING the moment WHEN it happens (and still analyse it later on ).

I`ve simply become more connected to the world around me, myself and people, not in an intellectual way only, but by incorporating sensual perception as well.

I think that is the biggest change, to not store my feelings for "later". Well the understanding comes later still, but a few years ago I would almost feel disconnected from my own emotional experience in that way, and that is totally gone now.

My mind and heart and body are finally on speaking terms again.
