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 INTJs.
INTJ One “The Reformer”
INTJ Ones are morally outstanding people who have a firm grasp on what’s right and wrong. They will be greatly concerned with fairness and want to improve everyone’s circumstances. This INTJ is unafraid to speak their mind and likes exploring the intricacies of morality. INTJ Ones are likely more in touch with their tertiary Introverted Feeling/Fi function than other INTJs. These individuals should remember to actively engage Extroverted Thinking to remain confident in their stance when the going gets tough and they face inevitable opposition.
INTJ Five “The Investigator”
INTJ Fives are more patient and self-controlled than other INTJs and are incredibly strategic. These types have a love of knowledge that can help them get very far in life. They’re competent, well-researched, knowledgeable, wise, private, and independent. INTJs should be intentional in developing their tertiary Introverted Feeling/Fi function in order to stay in touch with their empathetic side.
INTJ Eight “The Challenger”
INTJ Eights aren’t afraid to speak their mind and make waves in their personal and professional life. They enjoy a good debate and feel like everyone should be comfortable having an opinion and intelligently backing up that opinion. These INTJs may be more in touch with their auxiliary Extroverted Thinking/Te function than other INTJs and will use this function strategically to help them determine effective solutions for a given issue. Like INTJ Fives, these types should focus on developing their tertiary Introverted Feeling/Fi function so their actions can be founded by compassion.
