In this article, I will try to clear up some of the differences between Enneagram Type Five and the rest of the Enneagram types respectively. The comparison tables will be subject to modifications and additions as more information reveals itself. I hope it will be a useful tool for people who have trouble mistyping or aren't sure of their type - I'm one of them too. 5 and 1 Mistyping frequency: sometimes (5w6 and 1s can resemble each other).

I’m back with other compatibility theories for the Myers Briggs types, as promised. Remember each of them brings a new and potentially confusing viewpoints so take them with a grain of salt. It’s up to you to eventually decide which makes more sense and is more accurate. For more on MB compatibility, also read: Compatibility for Myers Briggs Types Part 1 Incompatibility of Myers Briggs Types Tandem processes compatibility The tandem processes are the opposite cognitive functions that work together within a type to create psychological dynamic and balance. There are four pairs of tandem functions: Ne ↔ Si, Se ↔ Ni, Te ↔ Fi, Fe ↔ Ti. According to Keirsey, types who share tandem processes are more likely to get along well and find common grounds for understanding each other. Here are the groups of such types: Se ↔ Ni : xNTJ, xNFJ, xSTP and xSFP Fe ↔ Ti : xNTP, xSTP, xNFJ and xSFJ Ne ↔ Si : xSTJ, xSFJ, xNFP and xNTP Te ↔ Fi : xNFP, xSFP, xNTJ and xSTJ For the comp...

Ever wonder what your kid's Jungian type is going to be, or whether yourself as a child identified with your current type? Studies have been carried out that proved the preferences for the final Myers Briggs / Jungian typology are starting to show as early as age 2. Between 2-4 years old , children are observed to develop their attitudes - the I/E and P/J preferences. Therefore at this age it should be relatively easy to discriminate if children are Introverts or Extroverts, and more, if they are Perceptives or Judicatives. We can fit them into one of these categories: IP , IJ , EP and EJ . Between 7-12 years old , the children's main cognitive function develops, and we're able to narrow down the possibilities for the final type to only 2. Extroverted Intuition types (Ne): the ENPs (according to Myers Briggs theory, will later become ENTPs or ENFPs) Extroverted Sensing types (Se) : the ESPs (according to Myers Briggs theory, will later become ESTP...

There aren’t yet many studies that focus on the Enneagram types compatibiliy, but still one main idea managed to grab my attention. Although the instinctual variants aren’t technically a ‘part’ of the Enneagram types, as they exist independently of any typology whatsoever, it seems that the specific flavour they give to each type is actually one of the most poweful indicators for compatibility. Therefore it appears that indifferent to the Enneagram types involved in a relationship, the odds that they get along well are higher when their instinctual variants are the same or at least similar. Their shared values, their main focus point, as well as their common purpose can help build a strong connection to which both types bring a different yet enriching approach. I also could observe that the more a couple resembled in their instinctual stackings, the closer they seemed to be to having a beautiful, mutually satisfying relationship. There are of course exceptions and people wit...
