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 INFPs.
INFP Four “The Individualist”
INFP Fours are highly in touch with their dominant Introverted Feeling/Fi function and have a deep desire to make a meaningful impact in the world. These INFPs will be very creative and nearly obsessed with making others understand their most authentic self. At their core, INFP Fours will feel like their worth is tied directly to how interesting and unique they are. As they express their individuality, they may feel distanced from others.
INFP Six “The Loyalist”
INFP Sixes want to make an impact that will give them personal security and dependable relationships. These INFPs perceive their weaknesses in the third and fourth cognitive functions and subconsciously want to develop them. The immaturity of these functions often mean that the INFP Six will feel unable to truly satiate their desire for security and consistency. Because of this tumultuous relationship between their cognitive functions, INFP Sixes might find themselves more anxious than their INFP peers. These types will likely associate security with emotional connection and feel safe only insofar as they are connected with their friends and family in a very personal and vulnerable way. If any ties were broken in this regard, an INFP Six will quickly mend the broken relationship.
INFP Nine “The Peacekeeper”
INFP Nines have an innate desire for personal peace. Their dominant Introverted Feeling/Fi function seeks inner harmony and wants to connect to something greater. INFP Nines might find themselves connecting to a higher power as a way to achieve this sense of peace and surpass themselves. Because of this, INFP Nines will usually be more spiritually bent than their INFP peers. Their auxiliary Extroverted Intuition/Ne will help them explore various avenues of spiritual growth — nature itself may become an avenue for spiritual expression and help grant these types a grounded sense of self and identity. INFP Nines are open, harmonious, emphatic, and authentic.
