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 ISFPs.
ISFP Four “The Individualist”
ISFP Fours are highly in touch with their dominant Introverted Feeling/Fi function. Fi is concerned with personal identity, emotional processing, authenticity, and uniqueness. All of these traits correspond to the values of Enneagram Four. At their core, ISFP 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.
ISFP Six “The Loyalist”
ISFPs Sixes are significantly more security-oriented than other ISFP types. Because of this, they may find themselves latching on to more reliable careers, traditional lifestyles, and loyal relationships than others of the same Myers-Briggs type. They are incredibly creative and deeply passionate people. They channel this creative energy to enable strong social connections and invest in trustworthy relationships.
ISFP Nine “The Peacekeeper”
ISFP Nines have a need for inner peace and harmony. These types will likely be more spiritually bent than their ISFP Four and Six counterparts as their sense of well-being is tied to their inner world functioning in harmony and cooperation. Their auxiliary Extroverted Sensing/Se function helps them connect their Fi values to the outer world in order to promote well-being. ISFP Nines are agreeable, non-aggressive, artistic, and peace-loving.
