When it comes to merging these two major typology systems: Myers-Briggs and the Enneagram, there is no “one size fits all” method. Truly any type combination is possible making not just 16 personalities or 9 personalities, but 144 different expressions!
Each typology system offers incredible personal insight but is incomplete on its own: where Myers-Briggs delves deeply into cognitive functions and how intricately the brain learns and processes information, the Enneagram offers insight into emotional health, childhood experiences, and basic driving human instincts. Using these typology systems in conjunction will not only give you a better understanding of yourself as a person, but will help shape your relationships and guide you toward a more successful and happy future!
Below you can find a description of the three common Enneagram types for ENTJs.
ENTJ One “The Reformer”
ENTJ Ones are incredibly efficient individuals who love hard work and exhibit slightly more Type-A behavior than other ENTJs. They are very in tune with both their dominant Extroverted Thinking/Te function and their auxiliary Introverted Intuition/Ni function and are concerned with fairness, justice, and doing the right thing. Because of their strong convictions and tightly held values, ENTJ Ones might find themselves interested or involved in politics in order to truly make a change. They feel like they are worthy when they are doing the “right thing” and engaged in noble, wise pursuits.
ENTJ Three “The Achiever”
ENTJ Threes are extremely talented at getting the job done. Their dominant Extroverted Thinking/Te function enables them to be more efficient and productive than most other Myers-Briggs types and they directly associate their worth with their material success. These ENTJs will have the most diverse and well-developed resumes/CVs of any ENTJ and be extremely revered by their peers. They should be cautious of falling into Te-Se loops and be sure to reflect just as much as they act.
ENTJ Eight “The Challenger”
ENTJ Eights are the strongest leaders of all the ENTJs and will find themselves extraordinarily protective of their loved ones and their values. These types have a strong sense of family and will do what it takes to support and defend their loved ones. ENTJ Eights are unafraid of conflict and have a tightly held belief system that likely started when they were very young and developed in breadth and sophistication over time. These ENTJs are intelligent, decisive, and confrontational. Like ENTJ Threes, they should consciously choose to reflect and actively engage Ni in stressful times so as not to succumb to a dominant-tertiary loop.
