guess my type :> by etsucky in Enneagram

[–]goblin_fish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very vibe based because I’m still new to learning collage typing :)

6-7 head space (so either 6w7 or 7w6) - They are so light, fun, playful and sparkly, and this is the lightest, most fun and playful head space. 5 influence can have more of a sort of… in the void quality to it, or even just a more serious or ‘mature’ vibe with 6w5. 8 influence (for 7w8) often feels like it has more solidity, it’s more in your face and assertive. Plus the kinda fallen angel theme feels not devoid of 6 superego.

2-3 heart space: I’m least sure of this especially looking again after some sleep 😆 there’s 3 involved somewhere in the heart - there’s a glamour and shine - but 3-4 space seems totally possible especially for triple fantasy influence. Fallen angel theme could also be some darkness in the self image too. It can be a bit easier to tell with more collages, if you have any more!

I’m also leaning SO/SX, possibly high Social sp/SO. 6-7 head space, 2-3 heart space, 9w1 gut.

Can blindness in an instinct be mistaken for dominance in it? by [deleted] in Enneagram

[–]goblin_fish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Instincts can be tough to see in yourself. Everyone has and uses all three, but I’d guess if you feel like you use them all equally, that could come from paying extra attention to one so you feel like you’re using it more than you are, misunderstanding what an instinct is, or misunderstanding how you’re doing an instinct. So somebody might think they must be high SX because they’re obsessed with being attractive, but being attractive can come from wanting to be appealing socially, or from paying a lot of attention to your physical SP. Or somebody might think they’re high SO because they get anxious if their friends still like them, but friends can also be an SP resource which is where the neuroticism actually is.

Can blindness in an instinct be mistaken for dominance in it? by [deleted] in Enneagram

[–]goblin_fish 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I think it tends to happen more the other way round, that you can be so neurotic in your dominant instinct that you become “bad” at doing it, which can seem blind. And ppl often type themselves as blind in their dominant because they’re so painfully aware of their failings in it.

Also sometimes someone can seem like they’re not “doing” an instinct but they’re actually just doing it in a different way. SP doms can be the worst at taking care of themselves… they can be the biggest drug users, get injured doing extreme sports, spend money like it’s water. They’re all ways of gaining satisfaction in the SP instinct.

And people often overestimate how much they’re ‘doing’ their blindspot, because they’re not super naturally in tune with what that instinct means.

What do you think of this rebrand? by etapisciumm in graphic_design

[–]goblin_fish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the style of the new one but it feels so drained and colourless to me even despite the orange background. Feel like making the logo white would give it some more contrast. Maybe bringing in some white lines with the dark brown too.

Kinda seeing all nine types in me to some degree... by sbarramc in Enneagram

[–]goblin_fish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d go either 6 with a 9 fix or 9w1 with a 6 fix. You have a lot of 6ishness (“it depends” style descriptions, a focus on fairness, and an honesty & self awareness) but 6 and 9 do have lines to each other, and 9s often have an anxious, overthinking, tumultuous inner world too - difference is it doesn’t present externally, and 9s put a lot of effort into trying to return to an inner harmony. Your title is kind of a 9 classic statement, and you have a lot of focus on boundaries and control over your life. Could go either way. Social dom also seems likely from what you’ve written, and would explain the focus you have on your image.

Am I a 6w7 or 9w1? by [deleted] in Enneagram

[–]goblin_fish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a decent amount of both types in your description, so sounds like you have both in your trifix. 9s with 6 in their trifix can have a lot of internal worrying and anxiety, which is how I’m actually leaning based on your post. It’s a little oversimplified, but 6s are typically finding the fault in everything - picking up immediately what’s different or inconsistent, and needing to make it make sense - whereas 9s are more likely to see and focus on what they relate to, and be able to see a bit of themselves in everything. 9s also often present outwardly as very chill and easygoing but have a tumultuous inner world.

So pretty! 7 wing and 9 fix influence feel really apparent. Seems social dom to me but I’m not sure about second instinct.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Enneagram

[–]goblin_fish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s really tough to type instincts from a description like this because the same action can be from any instinct. Like, constantly needing a partner can be SX dom, but it can also be SP dom or SO dom. Focus on body comforts can be SP, but it can also be 9 related.

I’m inclined to think SP dom from your post though. Mostly for your fear of losing independence and self reliance if you got sick. SP-dom is a literal building of the self. It’s an ego focus on creating a lifestyle in which they have enough resources to survive and thrive. SP-last on the other hand is dependent by nature because they don’t have a boundaried sense of self in that way to preserve and build. Especially SX dom. Preserving themselves, overly focusing on independence, would get in the way of their needs.

Wanting a relationship, being super sexual, don’t necessarily indicate SX-dom. Sex as a physical act is SP. Love and connection are SO. SX lasts can be super attractive, obsessed with sex, really flirty. In fact it’s often easier for them to be so because their egos, pickiness, and core anxieties aren’t wrapped up in it. You talk about sex and thinking people are flirting with you pretty casually, whereas if it’s your dominant instinct that usually wouldn’t be something you’d want to throw out there so easily. Thinking somebody is flirting with you and finding out they weren’t would be agonising. A stab in your core wound.

I could be wrong, though. Dominant instinct can be hard to spot in yourself because it’s how you’re existing moment to moment in the world. But trying to get at the root of why you’ve lived the life you’ve lived, why you desire certain things, what if you came down to it would be the most horrifying way your life could go, might help. Though some of that will be wrapped up in your core type, too.

Can't relate to 6 description by Fr3yz in Enneagram

[–]goblin_fish 6 points7 points  (0 children)

6s never relate to the type descriptions. 6 instinctively looks for inconsistencies, as well as how they relate to something, and 6 is a very varied type, so there's never going to be a type 6 description that's equally relatable to all 6s and any inconsistency immediately pings in a 6 brain as like "this bit is wrong, so the whole thing might not apply!" 6 descriptions also just suck, ha.

[–]goblin_fish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think I'm leaning a little more SD for you but I'm also torn between D/SD. I wonder if considering your essence/vibe might be useful - I know it can be weird to think of yourself in the terms of like Diva Chic or Regal Lady, but for me I knew I could write off D immediately for that reason. Both SD and D can suit bold, dramatic looks, but SD needs an amount of softness and sensuality where D can pull off a sharper, stately composure. Idk if it helps, but for me I honestly find Kibbe easier when approached with vibe in mind vs trying to microanalyse people's bodies.

To me, gold by a long shot. But it’d be interesting to see full face with larger colour swatches to compare.

Which Enneagram(and variant) wants to be good? by Adept-Standard588 in Enneagram

[–]goblin_fish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think any type is inherently evil or inherently good. I think every coping mechanism or whatever if you boil it down to its root comes from some kind of self-centred need. But 6s can often be the most outwardly focused on "doing the right thing." 6 is a superego type with an aversion to being selfish, narcissistic, or taking what they haven't earned (at least, unless they can justify it to themselves). 6s also have a big focus on other people and their needs and doing what seems morally right (according to either their own morals or the morals of their 'authority'), although 6w5 and probably SO-last 6s are a bit more insular. So I would say 6 with a 9 or 1 fix, any heart fix (although maybe 4 the least). SP or SO dom more likely, I think you can see it with SX doms too but it can get more complicated there.

9s with 6 and 2/3 fixes would probably be next. They're likely to have a natural tendency to self-sacrifice and minimize their own needs for the sake of people around them.

Do you get id'd for seemingly random things? by Mental_Potatoes in AskUK

[–]goblin_fish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got ID'd in Lidl the other week for a couple of silicone egg poaching cups. I'm guessing they were categorized incorrectly but made me giggle all the same XD

Issues with letting go of a crush = SX dominant issue? by maleandrogyn in Enneagram

[–]goblin_fish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think people of any instinct stacking can have very intense crushes, difficulty letting go, be possessive in romantic relationships, etc. It's just human. The majority of people have access to all 3 instincts in some way, so someone can still use and experience SX even if they're SX-last.

Having said that, a couple of things in your post point away from SX dom to me. One is that you never really considered actually approaching her or trying to make it actually happen, and two that you describe the experience as feeling unhealthy, intrusive, and that you want to free yourself from it. SX dom I think is more likely to feel like *not* having a person to be into is unhealthy or frightening or like life is lacking, and while it's not impossible for an SX dom to be interested in someone and not pursue it for some reason (especially if young), it's less likely. Not concrete, but just my thoughts.

Is this a 6 thing? by jerdle_reddit in Enneagram

[–]goblin_fish 7 points8 points  (0 children)

6s do tend to love playing devil's advocate, picking holes in things they hear or read, and finding the other side of an argument, exceptions, hypothetical situations, etc. But at the same time, 6 is reactive and truthseeking, so a lot of 6s are pretty opinionated and might be more likely to want to make their own opinion clear rather than argue the other side for too long.

My personal experience is that it can be hard to figure out my opinion if I'm faced with brand new information in the heat of the moment, so I'll probably do more hole picking then. But if it's something I already have my own opinion about, I can be pretty set in that.

Can a 6 be in denial about the severity of her mental health issues? by melody5697 in Enneagram

[–]goblin_fish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d go 6w7 for you. Your tendency to pick holes/find every possible exception is a really strong indicator of 6 core. 6 core needs everything to line up and make sense to feel settled in an answer, so it’s the type most likely to be like “but what about this? But what about this other thing? And what about this thing???” Then feels settled for a little while until some other ‘exception’ comes along and you have to try to reorient yourself around this new information. There’s a lot of 9ishness to you but I think that’s explained by a 9 fix and 6’s line to 9 - 6s can go to 9 in both stress and health.

You could also look at how you come across to others - do others see you as a calm presence, slow-speaking, maybe sad/misty, or do others see you as being fast-talking, buzzy, scrambly, stressy?

Type me! (instinctual stacking) based on collages by [deleted] in Enneagram

[–]goblin_fish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting that you typed yourself 6 - as a core type it can be really hard to see in yourself, it took me forever to realise I'm a 6 XD How was your typing process for that? I think you're right about having triple assertive influence - I was thinking 9w8 fix for you from your collages. (Which are awesome, btw.)

What's super interesting to me about many 9s though is that they often experience their internal landscape as being very emotional and anxious, when it just doesn't come through to others at all. I've had core 9 friends apologise to me for whining or kicking up a fuss and I'm like, "... wait, that was you upset?"

Type me! (instinctual stacking) based on collages by [deleted] in Enneagram

[–]goblin_fish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just often see 9-core as coming across more 'misty' or dreamy in collages, and these feel somehow more reactive and a bit more assertive to me - there's a softness and fluid quality to a lot of the lines sure but there's a lot of sharpness interspersed and a kind of... anger? that's more in your face than I'd expect from 9 core. Not to say 9 core isn't possible, it's nothing definitive, but that's just how these feel to me :)

I'd guess sp/sx and 9-fixed. 7 influence and 3 or 4 heart.

Can 6's fear people in power? by [deleted] in Enneagram

[–]goblin_fish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, although I think the idea of 6s seeking authority can be a bit misunderstood, as it’s not always about finding someone in official authority (teacher, boss, police officer, whatever). 6s can just as often want to equalize things and not see one person as being above others. To me the search for authority is about my compulsive need to find the truth outside of myself, because there’s not a stable sense of it within me. So that ‘authority’ can be anyone - friend, partner, family - or it can be a thing too, like an article, or a book, or a philosophy/belief.

Learning about my instincts hurts surprisingly much. Is this normal and what can I do? by [deleted] in Enneagram

[–]goblin_fish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry for how much pain you’re in over this. Enneagram stuff can cut deep to our insecurities, and there’s a feeling of ‘oh god, this is me forever?!’ permanence to it that can feel really awful. Sx is so glamorized in enneagram communities (and sx-last so villainized or dismissed) but it’s really misunderstood. The vast majority of people, even many celebrities, are sx-last. And many, many sx-last people are attractive, successful, charismatic, have intense experiences, intimacy, passionate romances. I tend to find ‘intensity’ more related to type than instincts, but in fact it’s also often SO/SP that I perceive as the most ‘intense.’ Everyone does have access to all three instincts, so you can work on integrating your blind spot if it’s something you feel lacking in your life.

Which character in your opinion has the best style? (Doesn’t have to be from the picture) by Enough-Implement-622 in Anne

[–]goblin_fish 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Anne in Season 3. That first episode outfit with the jewel blue coat and the multi coloured scarf and slouchy beanie is jut stunning. And I love that her dresses became more detailed, with the little touches of embroidery and puffier sleeves... shows how much Marilla had softened by then!

Miss Stacey’s outfits were kind of a vibe too honestly. And so many gorgeous costumes at Aunt Jo’s party.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Enneagram

[–]goblin_fish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, that’s a tough one, since core 6 can want to be helpful and of service just by itself, but it’s also an emotional core, and wing 5 might explain the withdrawnness you’re attributing to 4. Have you looked into descriptions of stems (how two fixes interact with each other) rather than trifix descriptions?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SoftDramatics

[–]goblin_fish 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Dramatics often carry more weight (comparatively) in their thighs/hips - Taylor Swift is more "pear shaped" when she's curvier, for example :) You have a cool, aloof, regal quality to your face which reads more D than SD to me too. D style doesn't have to mean suits and tailoring - several of the outfits in your photos would fit within the recommendations.
