gave the kitty a little refresh

the miraculous enneagram post nobody asked for

if by now you don't know i'm obsessed with the enneagram & personality stuff, i present to you know the depth of the hole i'm in. hello, i'm wackus, type 9, and if you skip this rambling post i totally understand.

the enneagram is a personality tool i use for writing (both fanfic & non-fanfic stuff) and irl to navigate relationships. this post will focus on how i type the mlb characters in my fics. however, the enneagram is more than putting people in boxes and stamping them with stereotypes. i use it in my writing is to know what motivates each personality and how their values shape not only their worldview, but the actions they will take in the narrative.

1 - the reformer marinette (wing 2), su han, kagami driving goal: integrity, perfection, improvement basic fear: being bad or corrupt

2 - the helper nino, rose, sabrina (wing 1) driving goal: love, appreciation, validation basic fear: being unwanted, unloved

3 - the achiever chloe (wing 2), lila (wing 4): driving goal: worth, success, image basic fear: being worthless

4 - the individualist gabriel (wing 5), zoe, juleka driving goal: identity, authenticity, significance basic fear: the void

5 - the investigator felix (6), max, nathalie (wing 4) driving goal: knowledge, understanding, competency basic fear: being helpless or incompetent

6 - the loyalist mylene, roland, sabine (wing 5) driving goal: security, community, certitude basic fear: having no support system

7 - the enthusiast adrien (wing 6), kim, gina (wing 8) driving goal: satisfaction, excitement, contentedness basic fear: missing out, feeling pain

8 - the challenger alya (wing 9), alix (wing 7), ivan driving goal: autonomy, importance, control basic fear: being harmed, being controlled

9 - the peacemaker luka, fu (wing 8), tom driving goal: harmony, connection, peace of mind basic fear: conflict, separation, loss

there is no enneagram type that's better or worse than the others. an unhealthy person will present the worst symptoms of their type, while a healthy person will present the best. remember, the goal of the enneagram is to get out of the box you're in so you can be a more healthy personality!

notes:

*i'm like 95% sure i got their types right but if you think differently pls feel free to correct me

*wings are when an enneagram type leans into the traits of the type next to them on the circle (either side). i, a 9 wing 1, am mostly laid-back and chill, but if you don't do the dishes like i asked then i'll passive aggressively get up and do them myself while saying "it's fine."

*each type might act like another when they are healthy/unhealthy. E.g nino (type 2) has gone to the "bad side" of 8 in stress (bubbler & rocketeer tried to dominate & regain control). but when he is healthy he looks like "the good side" of 4, making videos and dj-ing & just being super creative.

*any type can be in a happy relationship with any other type as long as they're both healthy (which is one of the things i like about the enneagram's perspective). that being said, my favorite couples that i always end up shipping the hardest are the 1/7 and the 2/5. just so much fun to watch ❤️

*if you're looking at this like "mm i don't buy it, sounds like bull" you might be a type 6

*if you are reading this and thinking "i need to research this more and get the right info" you might be a type 5

*if you're looking at this and are unsure which one you might be because some or all of them kinda sound like you, you're probably a 9

**i am not a certified enneagram coach, just v obsessed

tldr: wackus sorts the miraculous characters into enneagram types bc it helps her write good.

Hello, after having spent a lot of time going back and forth between various enneagram types I came to the conclusion I am most likely either a 6 or a 9. Your comparison between 6 and 9 is really helpful but also not helpful at all to me haha. I sort of relate a little to both (which is probably not that unlikely, considering they share a line to each other), so I felt like asking about what do you think is more likely for me:

I am forever running into people online torn between 6 and 9, and I never quite understand it since they are polar opposites. The "I worry about everything" 6 and the "I worry about not much; it will all work out fine in the end :)" 9. I think in this instance, it's helpful to know people of both type so that you can do a self-contrast. I would never in a million years confuse myself with the 9 friends I have, and they think I am a chronic "over-worrier." But to each their own.

I read through it all and you provide good arguments for both types, so I honestly don't know which one is "you." If you could only use one type/wing to describe yourself, which one would it be? I notice you made no case for 5/7 or 1/8. I think if you are a 9, you're a 9w8, and if you're a 6, you're a 6w5. There's a withdrawn element in you for sure, but sp-dom 6w5s can be very sure of themselves, pull away from others to handle their problems, and quarrelsome -- and so can sp-dom 9w8s. At this point, I would ask -- do you make decisions by thinking about them or from gut instinct? Would you say your anger is the foremost problem in your life, or is it being fearful? When you make decisions, how do you make them?

You saying that you lost your phone and didn't tell anyone about it, and figured your friends would just find you regardless is either low social awareness (you sound like an ITP, is that correct?) or 9.

As a 6 myself, I have had people ghost me or vanish. My thought went thusly: what did I do to make them upset at me? Did I insult them? Okay, there's two possible reasons for this... they are busy (but if they don't answer me in a few days, I get worried) or SOMETHING BAD HAS HAPPENED TO THEM. After a date, an ISTP ghosted me, and I spent days wondering if he had died in a car accident on the way home. 6s worry, over-think, and envision bad things happening to people as a "rational explanation" for what's going on. They were in an accident! Are they okay?? How can I check to make sure they are okay?? Or do they not want to talk to me anymore??? Should I leave them alone? Or should I find out what happened?

By contrast, my ISTP 9 friend assumes people are busy, not dead.

Provocation for your own amusement or to avoid boredom can be either 6ish or 9w8-ish. I've done it, but I've also seen 9w8s do it -- they push people and then back off when people get mad, because they wanted to see what they could get away with, not actually make their friends mad at them.

Overall I just notice that whenever there is an ask about 6s or you talk about 6s in general I am always surprised at how accurately it seems to match up with my experience. I tried to give examples/go more in-depth about these things above, though I am not sure how well I managed to put that there.

Do you relate more to the 6 stuff I talk about than the 9 stuff? Have you read through my 6 wing descriptions and the 9 wing descriptions? Which one gives you more of an "ugh" reaction? Which one would make you feel the most shame? Which one explains, in hindsight, the problems you have caused for yourself in your life? Your type is actively sabotaging you in some way.

The one thing that always makes me question it though is how 6s are described as usually being the ones reaching out to others/moving towards others or rather their general approach towards other people (which is why I tried to focus on that the most in this ask), while I never really related much to that.

If that is your only hangup, being an sp-dom inferior Fe would explain it. I know a so/sp 9w1 ISTP who pursues people eagerly, but sp-doms are more self-contained.

I am not sure I relate much to the idea of 6s being hard-working either: I have always done pretty well (or at least decent enough) in school/college and so far also in my job without really putting too much effort into it and I mostly relied on “luck” or “talent” as opposed to hard work or discipline, though I was never really that ambitious with most things therefore I was fine with any result as long as it meant I passed and saw no need to put much work into it. If it was an option I would say I am a 6 in the withdrawn triad but that’s not really possible I guess.

It would be possible for an ISP 6w5. Also, some 6s are lazy and unapologetic about it.

Sorry I can't give you a clear answer. If pushed, I'd say 9w8.

Hi! It's the 1 seeking a tritype analysis. Thank you very much for taking my case, so to speak, haha. I wasn't sure where to start, so I guess I'll just start by explaining my take on my type. (Oh, and if it helps, I'm a double Lion with a double Bird model and an INFP. I know that's an unusual MBTI type for a 1, but I'm reasonably sure they're both correct? Oh, and I'm probably either so/sx or so/sp.)

Why I think I'm a 1: My deepest fear is that I'm a bad person. Anxiety about this constantly hounds me. I often bully myself into doing the right thing with thoughts that if I don't, I'm a shitty human being. I hold myself to rigorous moral standards and stew in self-hatred if I fail to live up to them. I also have high moral standards for others and will absolutely call out people I think are being shitty. I get into a lot of stupid internet arguments because I can't stand to let someone say something wrong unchallenged. I am fueled by a burning rage at the injustice of the world.

Definitely a gut type, 1 is likely because you hold yourself to rigorous standard. As 8-winger myself, 8s don't hold themselves to high standard. They are more 'revenge is revenge' and 'eye for an eye' type.

Internal thoughts: "God, I don't wanna do X right now... but what if X matters? What if X makes a difference? What if everyone ALWAYS thought 'I don't wanna do X right now'? If I give myself permission not to do X right now, what exactly does that say about me? Ugh, fine, I'll do X."

"Rationally, I know there is no ethical consumption under capitalism and no matter where you buy your stuff you're contributing to exploitation... but boy do I feel shitty buying from this brand anyway."

"God, I am literally the worst person to ever exist. Wait, that's such a self-centered thought. Who's so arrogant as to believe they're important enough to be the worst person ever? God, I'm the worst. Wait... [repeat ad infinitum]"

"Someone's treating me badly! I'm angry! ... But fuck, I probably deserve it. I have no right to be angry."

The most 1 thing I've ever read lol.

Evidence: I've been to 20+ protests over the past couple years and joined a local political organization, driven in large part by that rage at injustice I mentioned. Being at a protest is basically the only time the feeling that I'm not doing enough goes away. I've tried repeatedly to kill myself partly out of the feeling that I'm a terrible person who only hurts the people around me and the world would be better off without me in it. (Don't worry about me, I'm better now.) I still can't help blaming myself for several of the bad things that have happened to me, even though others have told me they're not 100% my fault.

Oh my god, that's level of self-judgment is not a good thing. It's good to be good, but to judge yourself so harsh is not very good, isn't it? This is 1 internal thought. Probably 1w9 (a more internal and detached 1s).

Why I might not be a 1: I really do think I'm a 1, but there are a few things that make me unusual for a 1. I'm not organized or hardworking, and I'm very anti-hierarchical. I'm actually a little bit of a hedonist, even though I kind of hate myself for it--or at least for my propensity to do pleasurable things over important things. Do note that a lot of this can be chalked up to executive dysfunction, as I have a menagerie of mental illnesses.

Have you watched Legend of Korra? The main antagonist in 3rd season is INFJ 1w9 so/sp, he is an anarchist. This can relate to having low Te as well. Low Te isn't very good at forcing yourself to do important things (over what I want to do). Although you feel more like EFP than IFP. Your Te is pretty strong. Hedonism can come from experience and worldview (or having reactive enneagram - like 4 or 6).

Why I'm probably not an 8: I'm not especially controlling of other people. While I do like to be the dominant one in romantic relationships, I'm still pretty laid back as dominant people go. I take leadership positions in groups only if no one else is up to it. My attitude toward people is basically "as long as you're not hurting anyone, you can do what you want." I don't tend to force anything on anyone. No one has ever described me as domineering.

That is more like 9-wing description to me. My ENTJ 1w9 aunt is the same. "Do what you want, as long as you are doing good" and she never forces judgment on other people or try to change them. She directs all those anger and judgment on herself. Which is Fi + 1w9 thing.

To give you a sense of having 8 influence. I don't mind forcing myself on other people if it serves my purpose. People can do what they want, but if they get in my way, I'll obliterate them. I have no qualms about using power on my hand to do what I 'want' even if it's not the most moral thing to do. Leveraging power against people.

Like, my aunt is managing my grandpa's salary. I told her it's her money now, she holds the power and he couldn't do anything if she decides to take it. Why indulges him (giving him money, even if he can't use it. Let him gamble some away for no reason). She told me it's 'bad' to take his money as her own, because it's not hers. He has the right for his money. If I'm in her situation, I'll take it as my own because power is 'in my hand' now. Might makes right, if you have power, you are right. If you don't you are wrong. That is 8 rejection-assertive energy unlike 1 frustration-superego energy.

Why I might be an 8: I have a big thing for protecting the weak and defending the innocent. I hate to be controlled or pushed around. I fear betrayal.

That is more like so/sp instinct. We are protectors. All gut types are concerned with autonomy. So we hate to be pushed around at all cost. And fear of betrayal might relate to your personal experience somehow?

Why I'm probably not a 9: I don't care about keeping the peace--at least not at the expense of doing the right thing. I'll pick fights and shake things up if I feel like something unjust is happening or someone is in the wrong.

That is 9 being subservient to 1. However, you still don't show 2-wing 'meddling' and 'helpfulness'. Your anger is directed inward, the way 1w9s usually are. The question is, do you numb yourself to outside influence when people challenge you. Or do you feel compelling need to 'change' them.

Why I might be a 9: I've been described as chill by people who haven't seen how fiery I get? I dunno, I'm having trouble coming up with anything for this one. I hate arguing with people I care about? But I do it anyway so lmao.

Again, it's 9-wing. A 2-wing wouldn't appear chill in any way. Imagine Hermione. Is she chill? No.

Now onto my tritype. I guess I'll start with the head types.

Arguments for 5: I admit this is one of the least likely types for me to have, but I'm including it anyway for the sake of not ruling anything out. The very fact that I'm doing so is a little 5ish, I think. I've been called intellectual by others, and I like high-minded theories and conceptual bullshit. I do stuff like read political theory for fun. I like gathering information. I tested as a 5 several years ago, when I was still living in my Bird models. I greatly fear being useless and dislike being incompetent.

Nope, not a 5.

Arguments against 5: My 5-ness is more based on stereotypes than actual motivations. I'm rash and impulsive, and things tend to go better for me when I act quickly and decisively. Admittedly sometimes I get too caught up in planning and never actually do the thing, but I'm just as likely to dive into something completely unprepared and hope it works out. I am also a very emotional person and fairly open about my feelings, or at least the positive ones.

5 fix can be quick and decisive. But what concerns 5 fix is autonomy, secrecy and detachment. 5 can detach themselves to look at things as it is and 5 fixers are almost always concerned with autonomy as a rejection type. (I have 6w5 second fix, and I'm very secretive and independent. Never ask for help unless it's on my term).

Arguments for 6: I've had people tell me I have 6 somewhere in my tritype before. I'm fiercely loyal to both my loved ones and my beliefs. If someone I used to be friends with but haven't seen in years suddenly needed my help, I would drop everything to help them. I am very afraid of being abandoned. I have a tendency to be brutally honest about both my flaws and beliefs early on in relationships so that people I won't work out with will leave immediately rather than letting me get attached before leaving, which strikes me as a very counterphobic thing to do. I have generalized anxiety disorder. I often feel like a mess of contradictions. I am a revolutionary socialist, which goes along with 6's rebellious tendencies quite nicely.

That is ... a very strong 6-fix argument. Yep!

Arguments against 6: To be honest, I'm having trouble coming up with any, except that something else might fit better. The only reason I don't consider 6 to be my primary Enneagram type is that the description of 1 calls me out even harder.

You could be a 6. But you have to ask yourself. Are you driven by anger or fear. If you are driven by anger first, then you are 1w9.

Arguments for 7: I'm very pleasure-seeking. I like to feel good, and I do all sorts of things to that end. My biggest vice is escapism of any sort, whether that be by reading a good book or getting high. I'm prone to procrastinating on things that are important but not pleasant (though I procrastinate on things I enjoy too, so who knows). When stressed and sick of trying to power through it, I tend to lose myself in fun things so I forget about the stress (though it's always there at the back of my mind). I'm bold, impulsive, undisciplined, and scatterbrained. I don't take most things too seriously and have a good sense of humor.

6w7/7w6 sounds like your second wing. Ask yourself whether your head fix is driven by avoidance or by overthinking.

Arguments against 7: I'm not especially upbeat and have pretty low energy despite (or because of?) my active mind. I'm willing to endure a significant amount of pain for higher ideals--see the fear, anger, and chaos I endure at protests. I'm kind of a klutz, and 7s apparently have a reputation for being good with their bodies. (Do note that I have something called nonverbal learning disorder which fucks with my ability to use spatial reasoning, so that may have something to do with why.) Many of my 7 traits could also be explained by my ADHD.

7s are not good at their body in tandem. It is that many 7s are Se-dom. Se-doms are great at their body. Even if you have disorders, if you have 7-fix, you will still see it.

Now, the heart types.

Arguments for 2: I want very badly to be loved. I do good things mostly because I know they are good things to do, but part of me does hope I'll be loved in return for them too. I try to be helpful, generous, and kind to others. I like to be needed. I consider myself a very caring person.

Sounds like 2-wing to me.

Arguments against 2: I have higher priorities than being loved. I'd rather do the right thing and be hated for it than be loved for doing the wrong thing. I've heard that 2s feel they deserve love, and I often feel I don't deserve love at all.

2s feel they don't deserve love. That's why they are helpful. They reject the need to feel loved in favor of loving others. 2s are rejection type, do you have this feeling of rejection (and arrogance that you know what is best for everyone and you must guide them)?

Arguments for 3: If I'm not working on something, I feel like I'm being lazy. (I almost always feel like I'm being lazy.) I beat myself up for not doing enough. I used to associate my academic success with my self-worth, and still do to some extent. I often feel like I have to earn love by being good at stuff.

That is 3 fix to the T. If you are 2 fix, you will have an air of 'I know the way you must follow and you must do as I suggest' and 'I'm helpful because that's what I am' 2-wing has this haughty rejection feels to them. You don't.

Arguments against 3: I'm not actually very success-driven or hardworking. I spend most of my time procrastinating rather than working hard to be seen as worthy like a 3 might. I care nothing for status or appearances, and if I'm making an effort to appear successful when I'm not, it's because something very important and concrete hinges upon my perceived success. I don't care about the traditional definition of success--I just want to be comfortable and contribute something valuable to the world.

I think it's your last fix + social dominant.

Arguments for 4: I initially thought I was a 4 because I felt so called out by the stereotypical image of 4s as moody, withdrawn, ineffectual creative types--that's me to a T. I often feel like there's something wrong with me, like I'm just a worse person than everyone else, like I don't deserve the same basic respect and dignity as other people. I have a strong sense of identity. I struggle to let go of negative feelings.

That is your 1w9 line to 4w3. Enneagram 1 has line to 4 when stress. Strong sense of identity often relates to non-attachment type.

Arguments against 4: I don't give a flying fuck about being special or unique. I'd rather be a carbon copy of a good person than a unique but less good person. I don't daydream about attracting a rescuer--I daydream about being the rescuer. I don't value pain the way 4s seem to. I don't feel like I'm uniquely better than anyone. I may have a strong sense of identity, but I don't feel like I NEED a strong sense of identity, per se.

Not a 4, yeah.

I hope that's something like what you wanted! I didn't include as much in the way of evidence and internal thoughts as I'd have liked to, but considering how much I wrote, writing even more seemed kind of unreasonable. If you have any questions for me or want more thoughts/evidence, don't hesitate to ask!

Phew! That's quite a lot to take in. But from what I see (I think you provide solid evidence for each fix, nice job!) you might be 1w9 so/sp with 6w7 and 3w2 fix. 6w7 could be 7w6 though I think 7 is subservient to 6 in this case. I think you are 1w9 mostly because you don't have 2-ish intrusive feels to you. (Think of how Hermione thinks it's her job to monitor the boys, that's 2-wing).

hi i'm kei and i'm 23 yr old and a she. i'm a gemini, an INFJ personality and my enneagram results is me being a deep person??? (idk how to read enneagram yet 😭)

im a bit shy around people and even friends and family that a lot of them mistakes it as me being "maldita or snobby" i only talk when i want and if im comfortable with the person or people. my love language are, maybe grocery shopping and late night talks with cheetos and the stars or just cuddling while watching animes or reading law books

i'm a bit chubby with brownish hair and eyes, 166 cm and 49 kg with a bunny style teeth.

i'm looking for a partner, someone who's not afraid to correct my mistakes, loves to read books or watch any shows, a little pervert but a softie one that can't cook but will cook for just for u and understanding of my traumas. i hate partners who's past always ghosts him like a chirstmas past and i also hate it if he don't study and do his best in anything that he's good at be it at sports or academics. and lastly i hate it if he dont know how to do laundry and messy 😭 i mean l lived my entire

in a dorm and i do my own chores anf everything is never messy so i hope he's not as messy as anyone since i'm little bit OCD

can you write the match up in fluffy yet kinky nsfw??? please???

that's all 😍💗

p.s: this is the edited and final one thanks muchooooooo 💗💗💗

hi hi hehe! just bc of how many requests I have (plus my assignments) im just gonna do sfw for now but feel free when my requests open again to request more stuff!!!

honestly I think you and baji would make a rly good match

baji ticks off a lot of your boxes in what you're looking for in a partner tbh. he's DEF not afraid to correct your mistakes or put you in your place, he's a softie for the one he loves, his past struggles don't define or trouble him, and he might not be GOOD at academics but he sure tries 😌

I don't want to say that baji is messy, because it's not that he's messy. I think his mom would have yelled at him too many times for being messy. but he does much prefer someone else to do the work for him. he'll probably give you a really sweet look hoping for you to pick up the slack for him.

personality wise, I think the two of you have a nice harmony. as an INFJ you're pretty adaptable when it comes to working well with others. but with baji it isn't really something you have to worry about. he blends really well with your socialization methods, and honestly is probably pretty protective of your emotions too. like nobody is allowed to make u sad but him.

Hello! Can I get a matchup for jujutsu kaisen please?

Appearance : 5'4 ace/heteromantic girl ambivert.Dark brown hair/eyes (I wear glasses but they are also sun glasses because bright lights give me a headache) a little chubby/muscled and pale skin+permanent smirk/smile/ neutral face. Plump lips. My style varies a lot (always comfy) but I never wear dresses heels/makeup. I love to imagine outfits with symbols from fandoms or my own drawings so I have a rather unique style (most of the time I wear a NASA jacket and leather boots/sneakers, I also love sleeveless turtleneck) who changes a lot. I have malleable cheeks and tiny hands/fingers/wrist.

MBTI: INTP-T and chaotic neutral/good

Zodiac: Gemini sun, Taurus rising, libra moon

Enneagram : My dominant is type 5 then 8. Quizzes says that I am a 5w6 or 8w7

Personality : .Sarcastic,a little naive but I have a backbone (don't bother flirting with me and if you feel that I am flirting with you which happens a lot then it's just my personality and on the rare occasion I notice they have to confess or I won't believe it) ,calculative,protective,creative,expressive,manipulative,a devil's advocate,prideful,charismatic, smartass, bookworm, daydreamer, a little insensitive/blunt because I'm more on the logical side ,vengeful, mischievous, a huge tease, open minded, very curious, gets annoyed easily, impatient (unless it's in drawing because I am a perfectionist there) so kind of a bad temper, observant but not romantically,sadistic to a point but my conscience prevents me from doing these acts. Indifferent to many things, morally...unique as my moral compass is on the neutral side I don't believe in absolute evil/good.

With my friends I am either laughing, goofing around or annoyed. I love to give bad puns or cursed ideas who are gore/weird and saying I know y all love me. Those who don't talk to me see me as a nerd aggressive smart and blunt person ( even prideful) and strangers as polite and kind. I notice a lot of details because I don't let my guard down even if I daydream plus I have a photographic + sound memory and they work very well in all situations which can be a bother when I try to concentrate which is difficult for me because I get distracted easily. Also I have very weird reflexes so...anyone who approaches me by surprise gets hit, any sudden movement and I already have my leg/arm going their way which got me into a lot of trouble.

Dislikes: I fight for my beliefs. I have trust issues so I never talk about my problems and will use humor when confronted. Bright lights. Cooking. Slow things or people. When I get teased in a mean way (otherwise I actually like being teased it's a fun fight after). People who change side easily and hypocrites. Overly serious people. I tend to be aggressive and expose an annoyed face easily (I am moody), plus I hate orders and love pressing buttons it's funny(in a fun way rarely in a mean one) unless it's a sensitive subject. When I feel that I am unwanted or someone insults me or take me for granted I become very cold and distance myself and the relationship becomes strained the more they take time to ask for forgiveness, something I might give but will never forget.

Likes: I love cats/laughter/sweets/pranks/dark humour/ a true crime and Supernatural enthusiast and I love science especially concerning space, chemistry, robotic and psychology. Books, sleep, drawing and video games too. Cherries. Sushi.Oh and debates I love them. Surprises too I hate routine and runs away from it. I like making character analysis which I often get right but never show to the people around me because I know they will trust me less.

Hobbits : Reading, getting lost in a book, drawing, learning, debating, daydreaming, sports (I practice karate and shooting), art (piano/drawing/writing especially poetry) and video games

I have some bad habits like biting my nails (I just got rid of it by painting them black)/lips and moving my leg up and down because I am always nervous, disorganized room/sleep and eating schedule plus I am lazy. Also I might try to hide it but I am very competitive and a sore loser

Fun fact : I dream a lot and write my dreams. I don't mind nightmares on the contrary I welcome them because I find them to be a nice experience and they give me ideas plus the amount of emotions you can feel is amazing. I also tend to curse while talking.

I rarely get motivated but when I do I give a very good work and put my soul in it, if I don't reach my goal I feel down for a while and become very snappy.

I am a lazy student (hell if I don't feel like writting I don't especially exercises that I understood) but also at top of my class so none says anything (i can befriend people easily if I want to, teachers included). My projects are often done last minute or just improvisation but I get a good mark at them which means that yes sometimes I can become arrogant and I don't really know what it feels like to study really hard and fail sorry. But I know it will bite me later. I often argue my way out of a situation with anyone : I know the exercise why should I write it? If I told you the answer then I know how I got it and you know it too no need for me to write the correction. Mum the brain is a muscle too so I am in fact exercising.

When dealing with an emotional person I don't know what to do I will try to give them words to keep going, it succeed but I am rather harsh plus I try to make jokes to cheer them up.But if a friend breaks down before me I will do my best to cheer them up (ahem jokes and reminding them of all the success they achieved) and if I am comfortable and they want a hug I will give it. I hate people who denies that others helped them.

My love language is gifts, quality time, a little act of service and affection in private if comfortable. I also love to send memes saying it reminds me of us/you and holding pinkies.

Please can you not consider geto,mahito, nanami, todo and junpei as matchups I am uncomfortable with them.

I am stubborn, moody (one day I can be really cold/snappy to the person because I am in a bad mood but I apologize after) and can be perceived as unloving even if it's not the case, well sometimes but I usually love affection despite me never saying affectionate things.

Hihi! I'm alive! Battling this history competition, but I'll make it!

So let's jump back into these requests starting with, @wakatoshiswife

(sorry I lost the request so I'll copy/paste below the line break!)

(and I am once again on a different electronic, so sorry if this looks different, I will format it to look correct later)

Request: Hello! I saw that you’re doing matchups for valentines! I’d like to request for one too if that is okay :) I’d like to matched up with a guy please...I’m a 160cm girl, ISTJ/ESTJ (I’m an ambivert), my enneagram is type 8. My zodiac sign is cancer. I have black curly hair (type 3B hair) and my eye colour is brown. At first glance, people often think I’m mean bcs I have really think eyebrows and I have a resting b face. However once you get to know me, I’m pretty fun. My hobbies are gaming, baking and editing. The characters I kin are Sakurajima Mai, Light Yagami & Osamu Miya. I enjoy working out as well! Especially jogging on a cold morning/evening. I love watching formula 1 and I would watch football if it means getting to bond with my partner/friends. I play any sports but I like volleyball and badminton the most. I also enjoy cooking Asian cuisine as I am asian, I’m a mixed Persian-Indian. My favourite weather is Autumn as it matches my aesthetic and overall aura and vibe. My favourite colour is red as if I were to be a colour based off my personality, I’d be red. Although I look best in nudes, black, white and purple...I also have the best music taste ever. I’m the chill friend in the whole group. I am very very laidback, in fact I can be a little too laidback at times but it’s nothing bad, I know when too loosen up and when to get serious, hence this is why I’m often (almost every time) a leader. I’m quite the procrastinator and the last minute person but I always know what I’m doing so its all good. I’m confident in what I do and I stand strong for what I believe in. Words, will not hurt me unless it’s said by directed to an insecurity of mine. I hate losing. I’m that one competitive friend that hates losing but I never go too much yk. I’m pretty chill when it comes to competition, that meaning, I don’t show how competitive I am. I have a blank face as I’m competing with others. I always strive to win even if it means winning in a ridiculous way, however I won’t drag it too much as I hate when a small problem gets really really big bcs people keep making it big although it’s just a minor problem (I’m so sorry if you don’t understand T^T). I’m kind, polite and pretty mature but not too mature as I don’t want my adolescent to go to waste. Therefore I try my best to loosen and up and relax! If I were to go on an outing with my friends and they’re being noisy and loud in public, instead of telling them to quiet down, I’ll leave them there so I don’t get embarrassed 🗿. I hate creating a scene in public. I’m not a fan of popularity unless it’s for a good cause. Therefore, I’m a private person with around 15 people in my circle and I enjoy it this way :) I’m also very passionate in what I do. I’m very ambitious and my hogwarts house is syltherin. I know what I’m doing as for now and I love to plan ahead so it won’t be chaotic. I’m 100% a leader and my personality is very dominant. However when it comes to relationships, I’m 100% the submissive (or switch? I’m not sure) one bcs I am very shy to actually initiate anything. My preference in a partner is someone who’s dominant and he wouldn’t mind losing for me. If I were to be an animal, I’d be a wolf or a tiger but as for my partner, I’d like him to be a wolf or a lion but deep down he’s just a bear 🥰. I also prefer guys who aren’t loud, like quiet guys but not too quiet. Ones who talk when they need to, as I’m not rly fond of people who talk a lot a lot. It can be quite annoying and I’ll probably end up accidentally hurting them. I’m so sorry if this is too long bcs I think I went overboard. Thank you so much and have a nice day :D

Alright, thank you so much for this request, and thank you for being patient with me! I'm glad I got a nice long request to get back into the jist of things! And I never like to assume, but I feel like I've been bugging you, so I'm gonna assume you were requesting tulips-

anyhoo, without further ado (lol that rhymes)

Rion's Flower Shop! Today we have Tulips! I match you up with

Kuroo Tetsuro

relationship dynamic

- its actually quite nice! A perfect balance of similarities and opposites!

- and those said opposites are harmonious!

- you guys are both admirable leaders in your own way, and can often cooperate together, and despite different approaches, reach the same goal

- both of you are really confident in your talents and areas and you use that a lot to your advantages

- he's lowkey scared of your poker face but will never admit it

- despite this, the little perks and habits the two of you have are quite amusing

- he still struggles to see how tf you get work done when you procrastinate so much, but is honestly amazed by it

- and the competitiveness you share drive the 2 of you to keep moving forward

- it's always nice to have someone supportive of you (and you 2 are, don't get me wrong) but it's also nice to have some friendly banter and competition, whether it be over music, which teams are better, opinions, which food type is best, etc.

- it keeps you two on your toes

- and (as I mentioned earlier), although the two of you can keep going back and forth, you can also lean on each other, and trust one another for support.

- he can count on you to show up to some of his games and you can count on him to have your back you want to try something new or show him your hobbies

- you guys are also there emotionally, he will always be there watching your back, and cheering you up or proving people wrong after particularly harsh, uncalled for comments, because he knows how you really are and that those people are talking bs :)

- and you do the same for him, to cheer him up, let him know he's a good captain and friend. And although he doesn't show it as much when he's older, he still gets nervous in social situations and he can count on you to be a constant in new areas

What you guys do together/ What's it like with them

- this can either be the most fun relationship or the most comforting, laid back one ever!

- and honestly both are good choices

- neither of you really want to lose your childhood, cause you only get it once

- so it's not uncommon to try out new hobbies or experience new things together to make the most of this time you have

- there are a lot of firsts with him because of that

- he doesn't mind having fun out in public, like that's the point of going out to him, but he also agrees with not wanting to cause trouble, one) that shit's embarrassing 2) he knows it'll make you, himself, and others uncomfortable, so there's really no need to do something uncalled for

- however, despite all the fun of childhood, it's also good to have calm, quiet moments in certain relationships, such as this one

- he doesn't mind, and actually quite enjoys indoor dates, like studying together or watching your favorite movies/shows

- that gives him a chance to be and focus on you only, and maybe get to know you better

- no matter what you do, you two have a silent understanding of what you enjoy, don't enjoy, and what each others needs and wants are

- and he also understands how you might not like to initiate things, he can understand to a degree

- for a while it's a matter of who will make the first move, but once he gets comfortable, he won't mind initiating it for you :D

What they like about you

- he likes your overall personality tbh

- how you can be so laid back yet confident at the same time

- yet also sweet and nice to others

- it's a nice mixture where he doesn't need to force his personality out and express everything that comes his way, but he also doesn't need to shrink to avoid overwhelming you

- and although he likes to take the charge, he likes that you can be dominant at times too, sometimes he'd rather just leave things to you, because he knows he'll like what you like

- it also feels easy for him to talk to you

- he doesn't know why but he finds himself expressing his opinions and sharing things he'd usually keep guarded with you, because he trusts you enough to understand and not share with others

- overall, its the understanding for him :)

- and he's taking this to the grave, but he's also a firm believer that slytherins should stick together

alrighty, to be completely honest, idk how I did on this one, so please, if you did not like the style of writing or the character I matched you up with, please let me know! I will gladly rewrite it for you!

Voltron Cast vs. Personality types

Feel free to add & correct

Lance

Very Clearly ESxx. He’s practically “Extrovert problems” incarnate, poor boi, just wants to be liked & accepted.  

I’d say he has some Fe there but the degree of inappropriate jokes vs value judgements/policing suggests tertiary rather than dominant. ESTP then. 

Pretty much that common Fi PolR/ Fe tert problem of not realizing your own inclinations & opinions of yourself “count” & therefore  looking for external validation a lot. Adding to that is his crazy aim & knack for planning sneaky strategies on the fly, also he once mentioned he has a hard time sleeping if he gets all pumped off, having so much energy it needs to be burned off is a common Se dom issue, as is his concern with looks, status & “finer pleasures” & his competitive streak.

He’s an inert subtype, and enneagram wise he’s such an obvious 3w2 someone who never saw the show could tell just from me reblogging posts about him. He keeps making up roles for himself to play (”cool ninja sharpshooter”) & hoping they catch on with the others, though there’s also an angle of wanting to contribute & be needed. 

imma venture soc/sx but im not adamant on this.  Sanguine classic. 

Also very obvious oldham Inventive with sprinklings of Devoted and Dramatic. He’s also a dead-ringer Mercury-Venus. Also probably Thunderbird.

Gryffindor or Hufflepuff tho? There would probaby be hatstall, but ultimately I feel he would be a “grow into it” Gryffindor. 

The Red Lion only takes them Gryffindors BTW. Come on. Bravery? honor? No self-preservation? Likewise, the green Lion only takes Ravenclaws and the Yellow one only takes hufflepuffs. The recipe is probably more complicated with the other two tho. 

Hunk

The most obvious ISFJ to ever SiFe. 

He’s cautious & prefers the familiar, a good judge of character & may need to see things with their own eyes to grasp their full scope, but also has a big heart cares a lot. Hasthat “inferior Ne panic reaction” too. 

You kinda also see the “dexterous/practical” side of Si with his being a mechanic. The makers have described the contrast between him and pidge as the “figure it out & think it up” side of engineering vs the “buid it & make it work” side of it  which is basically N vs. S in a nutshell. 

Inert Subtype. Pudwudkie Hufflepuff. Nuff said. A 9w1, probably, though with a notable 6w5 fix. sp/soc. Phlegmatic. Venus. Clearly has some Sensitive style in him but he’s not all that shy & fluttery so there’s probably some stabilizing influence there. Not wholly sure if it’s some Leisurely or something else

Allura

Preddy much ESTJ. Brave, dutiful, action-oriented, bossy, fortright, yells a lot, can be rigid sometimes, we know the drill.   

Contact subtype. Mars-Jupiter af. srly that’s just a holistic sumup of her character.  Choleric. (ChlorSan prolly) 2w1  soc/sp? I do think soc  is right & she does have that “politcian-y” quality.  

She’s ever the altrustic helper ready to put her life in danger, insists they answer every distress call,  and has this ‘diplomatic important organization leader’ thing going on that social 2s do.The w1 also manifests as back & white or oversimple thinking at times.

Oldham wise it’s hard, something of a pronounced mixed/intereference pattern with both Self-Sacrifcing and Aggressive in the mix.

Wampus.  I see why someone might say Slytherin but I’m sticking with Gryffindor for now.

Pidge

This one is kinda easy.

INTP 5w6. Ravenclaw. Horned Serpent. Lunar. sp/soc. IDK bout vertical subtype but she rambles/blurts more than she snarks/criticises so I’m saying contact. 

Less sure ‘bout oldham though there’s probably some Vigilant, though not, like, sharp excess.

Imma run with melancholic b/c she’s definitely not pure Phlegmatic or Supine. MelPhleg perhaps. 

Shiro

Apparently there has been a case of “the fan-favorite is always INFJ” (TF?) but I think most of us will agree that he has Te - he’s goot at handing out tasks, managing people, coming up with courses of action...

He rocks that tert Fi too in that he’s a good listener & tries to further the other’s personal developement. 

We often think of natural leaders as extroverts but ISTJ is prolly the introvert most likely to become head-of-state. He just fits the overall patterns of ISTJ: Dilligent, put-together (when he can help it), great integrity, perceptive with details & able to use comparision with past experiences to kick butt in the present (Like when he timed the Sentry Drones’ rounds), though he does’t have the elbowy agression/striving of other TJ-types, and he’s a morning person too. 

He’s probably a contact subtype. Temperament wise he’d be one of those few where I’d be tempted to call ‘balanced/Leukine’, but if I didn’t I’d say ChlorPhleg comes the closest.  1w9 af, prolly sp/soc with a degree of both personalperfectionism & mentoring others present, and also feeling overly responsible for everything. 

Oldham wise an obvious conscientious type. 

While he’d sure have some gryffindor potential, his firm belief in teamwork & humility would probaby land him in Hufflepuff.- Think Cedric Diggory who was also a sort of prodigy. Though he is probably also very much a Wampus.

Also, he’s a classic, archetypical pure Saturn type. Actually, I believe at least partially saturnyne personalities are the Black Lion’s thing. Still not sure how Blue’s could be quantified, apart from possibly favoring extroverts, but that’s probably by design. 

Keith

Mai Spicy Boi! . 

I’m just gonna flat out say that he cannot be anything other than a contact subtype Se auxillary. Just look at all that Se! That’s about as much of the stuff as you can possibly cram into an introvert. 

He’s got sharp senses & reflexes, often reacts to opportunities, observations and impressions in the moment (and very often it’s a deliberate risk that works out - he’s not just “hotheaded” or “not thinking”, but he’s thinking about things to do or investigate, not so much what happens next. ) & improvised, didn’t really have longterm plans after flunking out, He also very much has the ‘decisive’ and agressive side of Se though I wouldn’t call him dominant. 

And I’m saying ISTP over ISFP b/c the Se itself seems a sufficient explanation for his reactive nature,and then there’s general lack of people skills, solitary mode of operation & difficulty with group work (not a shred of Te not even inferior) 

Also, when he’s actually thinking rather than just waltzing in guns blazing, he very much has task-oriented, detached impersonal reasoning  “But can we afford to save the princess? It’s not about the glory. The cause is bigger than any of us.” He’s also very much the cynic of the group or the one most inclined to see things in shades of grey rather than black & whites. 

I doublechecked this to make sure I’m not just assuming him to be a Ti dom b/c he’s my fav character, but ‘ISTP’ really seem to summarize his character & much of the metas written about him very well.

Soo... is he a cp 6? a sp4? An 8? Probably all of those, they don’t call that the “tripple reactive” tritype for nothing but coretype wise I’d put him very much in the action triad as a 8w7, that’s not even all that uncommon for ISTPs. He’s also very distinctly soc blind,(which may explain why he doesn’t really manifest the dominant part of the 8, but he’s very much got the every-man-for-himself, rely-on-no-one rebel part of it, as well as the characteristic problem with backing down/shelving arguments though the other fixes, again, don’t help.  ) not sure if sx/sp or sp/sx, on the one hand he’s...tempestuous, on the other he spent a year as a desert hermit and found itpleasantly calm, at least in part, so if pressed I’d go with sp/sx, also because of his tedency to hold himself apart from the group somewhat without much indication that it’s a conscious choice. 

Oldham wise he’s got some adventurous & some vigilant but also some sort of more emotionally juicy counterpoint to that without which he’d have a lot more hostile unconcern. He’s not clingy enough for Mercurial tho so I’m vaguely at a loss. 

He’s got some more maturity to acquire there but I do think there’s very much a Saturn-Mars underneath it all. Certainly NOT as thought-through as a pure saturn and with no shortage on the action but he does have momentzs of somberness and nuanced understanding.  Very much fits both the archetype of the ‘rugged doer’ and the ‘powerful, cause-oriented person’. though he still has some work to do on the ‘inspiring others’ part. 

Gryffindor, no 2 ways about it. (Some have suggested Slytherin because he’s the “edgy” one but honestly I don’t see that at all. He has zero interest in personal glory or the ‘in-group’ & doesn’t seem to think of himself as special though he would very much have the grounds to do so.) 

The real question is: Wampus or Thunderbird tho?

Coran

Clearly has both Ne (wackyness and quirkyness) and Si (storytime! “Proper” Traditionalist), and too much for either to be the inferior. 

Since he doesn’t seem like a Ne auxillary, that leaves us with ESFJ by principle of exclusion, like he kinda has the chattynes & is always helping with everything & taking all the duties. Probably a contact subtype. 

Hufflepuff for similar reasons. IDK bout Ilvermony but he does have an adventurous side that did shenanigans with the previous paladins, so probably Thunderbird. 

Out of the enneagram types that commonly occur in ExSJ, 9 seems the likeliest, he’s nor dramatic enough for a core type in the emotional triad. I’d say he also has a 7w6 fix somewhere. Also he’s probably soc-first... and in hindsight actualy acts alot like a textbook social 9, working a lot to support the community while not taking the spotlight himself. 

Oldham wise I’d postulate a Dramatic-Devoted mix.

Essence type made me think for a bit i had several inconclusive kneejerk reactions but imma stick with Jupiter for now.

Zarkon

Well, another ESTJ, prolly an inert subtype tho. 

Pretty much your standard evil overlord/ Te dom villain, though he’s more an enforcer than someone who does a lot of lecturing like when he does it’s usually to-the-point, plus he was sorta repressed in his youth & seemingly a strict traditionalist. 

Also a very obvious Aggressive type (complete with the comon constellation where the spouse can deal with & accept that that but the kid’s can’t & regular teenage rebellion ends in dramatic estrangement), like, he would not be questioned even by his best friend even long before he went nuts enough to randomly murder ppl for talking back to him.

You could deem him an  8w9 and a Saturn for similar reasons though he evidently incorporates the more negative aspects of that... though he did have a “protective-responsible” side before things got too sour.

Ovsly Slytherin (& wampus), methinks the whole imperial family would be one those dynastic Slytherin families for all their differences. 

Haggar

I found her hard to get a read on for the first two seasons, but with the backstory reveal I think I can conclude INTx, see the whole lightning speech & the whole “Think of the Potential!” attitude, also her being a misanthropic cat lady & sassing Alfor to his face (”customary gesture”) way before things went all sour.

I am less sure here, but out of the two options INTP is more likely because I think I see more indications for SiFe than for FiSe. Her present day self is markedly more cautious than she was in her younger days. She minimally toys with her victims for effect (Poor Shiro) and has this pretty honest devotion & concern for Zarkon, though she seems content subordinating herself to him, though she has this dourish Si-Ti bubble-popping, “Yeah sure but be cautious” attitude especially in interaction with Lotor & Zarkon.  

Beyond that, i’d say that she is a very clearly an inert subtype, a Serious-primary and probably some fashion of 5w6 (by principle of exclusion). Slytherin & Horned Serpent. What else would a mad science shadow empress space witch possbly be? Might be Lunar but don’t really have a good read there

Lotor

Some kind of NF, ENFJ if I had to guess. Not his father indeed, though still quite ExxJ. He has the charme, he has a planning, analytic quality underneath, but while he had ambition the more fundamental motivation seems to be to enarn recognition to prove himself.

sx/soc 7, glorious, extra with lots of plumage, certainly very self-interested when it comes down but you could totally picture him just chilling with his henchladies & preferring a ‘personal’ environment/inner circle though he can totally work crowds like clay. 

Self-Confident with a tinge of Exuberant perhaps. 

Slytherin Thunderbird. 

Perhaps what an antagonistic Solar Type looks like. He’s got charme, he’s got loftiness and big goals he works hard to accomplish and little hesitation to put his own person out on the field  but he’s sorta the very opposite of naive, very much a planner and going all road runner on poor Keith. Come to think of it,one could make a good case for him as a Solar-Saturn. 

As for the Generals/henchladies we’ve only seen bits & pieces of them so far all we can really tell is that Narti and Acxa are introverts while Zethrid and Ezor are extroverts, but Imma risk a guess based on rough vibes/ intuition:

Ezor: ESFP Narti: ISTP Acxa: ISTJ Zethrid: ESTJ

Jafar (Aladdin): INTJ

Dominant Introverted Intuition [Ni]: It’s Jafar’s greatest ambition to usurp the Sultan, and he’ll do whatever it takes to make that dream a reality. He wants Agrabah to bow to him and is extraordinarily patient in his quest. Everything Jafar does is a carefully thought out piece of his overall plan of ruling the kingdom. He spends years searching for the Cave of Wonders. When he finally finds it, he sends a man in to retrieve the lamp, which is all part of his long-term vision of using the Genie to make himself all-powerful. However, when he realizes he can’t just send anyone into the cave, he remains patient until he can identify the “diamond in the rough.” He’s certain that he will get what he wants eventually and doesn’t get worked up when he faces obstacles (unlike Iago). Jafar is able to manipulate the Sultan (even when he’s not using his cobra staff to hypnotize him) and typically knows exactly what to do and say to get what he wants from him. Jafar instinctively doesn’t trust “Prince Ali” and is very skeptical about him and proves himself correct when he catches a glimpse of the lamp, allowing him to deduce that he’s actually Aladdin.

Auxiliary Extroverted Thinking [Te]: Jafar is all about seizing power and being in control. No matter how much he has, it’s never enough for him. Jafar doesn’t hesitate to take action and will do whatever he has to in order to overtake the kingdom. He doesn’t care who he has to hurt to get the lamp and gladly sacrifices whoever he has to in his quest for power. Jafar can sometimes struggle to see beyond the facts of the situation. Jasmine will have to marry a prince, and once that happens, she’ll get rid of him. It doesn’t occur to him to change the rules so that Jasmine must marry him, allowing Jafar to become sultan – that idea comes from Iago. Jafar is strategic about accomplishing his goals. Once he discovers that Aladdin is his diamond in the rough, he has him arrested in order to use him to get the lamp.

Tertiary Introverted Feeling [Fi]: The only feelings of any value to Jafar are his own. He holds everyone around him in contempt and believes himself to be superior. Jafar doesn’t discuss his personal feelings and appears to completely lack empathy. Jafar only bothers with those who can help him achieve his goals. He knows what he values (power, authority, control), and he won’t allow anything to distract him from his mission to take over the kingdom. Once he gets everything he’s ever wanted, he uses his power to control the people around him to show them who’s boss now.

Inferior Extroverted Sensing [Se]: Once Jafar finally gets a taste of the absolute power he’s always craved, he begins to act recklessly in the moment. He wants to enjoy all of the pleasures that come along with the status he worked so hard for. Although his original plan was to kill Jasmine, he changes his mind and even gives into his lustful urges by attempting to use his last wish to get her to fall in love with him. When he gives in to it, he forgets to think ahead, allowing himself to be tricked into becoming a prisoner of the lamp. His desire for authority leads him to act on impulse, which leaves him susceptible to manipulation. Both Jasmine and Aladdin are able to pick up on this and use it to their advantage to defeat him.

Note: I’m sure that some people will think I’m stereotyping. I know of some people who argue that Jafar can’t be an INTJ because of how impulsive he became once he got the lamp. I think that was just a grip experience, though. Jafar spent a very long time singularly focused on just one goal and didn’t stop until he made it a reality. Then, when the moment came and he finally got everything he ever wanted, he reveled in it, which led to his downfall. Giving in to the urges of the moment at the very end doesn’t discount everything leading up to it. Someone with higher Se would probably have a much better handle on it than Jafar does. My aunt was the only INTJ I’ve ever known in my life, and when she was in the grip of Se, it was not a pretty picture.

Enneagram: 8w7 3w4 5w4 So/Sx

Note: (He shows a lot of 3 and 8, so deciding his main type was difficult and I’m not 100% confident about which actually takes precedence)

Quotes:

Jafar: At last, after all my years of searching, the cave of wonders! Iago: Awk! Cave of wonders! Gazeem: By Allah! Jafar: Now, remember! Bring me the lamp. The rest of the treasure is yours, but the lamp is mine!

Iago: I can’t believe it. I just don’t believe it. We’re never gonna get a hold of that stupid lamp! Just forget it. Look at this. Look at this. I’m so ticked off that I’m molting! Jafar: Patience, Iago. Patience. Gazeem was obviously less than worthy. Iago: Oh, there’s a big surprise. That’s an incred–I think I’m gonna have a heart attack and die from not surprise! What’re we gonna do? We got a big problem here,a big prob- [Jafar pinches his beak shut.] Jafar: Yes, we do. Only one may enter. I must find this one, this… diamond in the rough.

Iago: I can’t take it anymore! If I gotta choke down on one more of those moldy, disgusting crackers… bam! Whack! Jafar: Calm yourself, Iago. Iago: Then I’d grab him around the head. Whack! Whack! Jafar: Soon, I will be sultan, not that addlepated twit. Iago: And then I stuff the crackers down his throat!

Iago: With all due respect, your rottenness, couldn’t we just wait for a real storm? Jafar: Save your breath, Iago. Faster! [He places the Sultan’s ring in the contraption.] Iago: Yes, o mighty evil one. [Iago runs faster. A lightning bolt streaks through the ring, passing into an hourglass below. The sands begin to swirl.] Jafar: Ah, sands of time– reveal to me the one who can enter the cave. [The sand in top forms the Cave of Wonders. It falls through into a storm, but it shows Aladdin climbing up a ladder, followed by Jasmine, who is covered in her cloak.] Yes, yes! There he is. My diamond in the rough! Iago: That’s him?!?! That’s the clown we’ve been waitin’ for? Jafar: Let’s have the guards extend him an invitation to the palace, shall we?

Sultan: Jafar, this is an outrage. If it weren’t for all your years of loyal service… From now on, you are to discuss sentencing of prisoners with me, before they are beheaded. Jafar: I assure you, your highness, it won’t happen again. Sultan: Jasmine, Jafar, now let’s put this whole messy business behind us. Please? Jafar: My most abject and humblest apologies to you as well, princess. Jasmine: At least some good will come of my being forced to marry. When I am queen, I will have the power to get rid of you. Sultan: That’s nice. All settled, then. Now, Jasmine, getting back to this suitor business. Jasmine? Jasmine! Jafar: If only I had gotten that lamp! Iago: I will have the power to get rid of you! D’oh! To think–we gotta keep kissing up to that chump, and his chump daughter for the rest of our lives… Jafar: No, Iago. Only until she finds a chump husband. Then she’ll have us banished–or beheaded! BOTH: Eeewww! Iago: Oh! Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Jafar? What if you were the chump husband? Jafar: What? Iago: Okay, you marry the princess, all right? Then, uh, you become sultan! Jafar: Oh! Marry the shrew? I become sultan. The idea has merit! Iago: Yes, merit! Yes! And then we drop papa-in-law and the little woman off a cliff! Kersplat! Jafar: Iago, I love the way your foul little mind works!

Jafar: Sire, I have found a solution to the problem with your daughter. Iago: Awk! The problem with your daughter! Sultan: Oh, really? Jafar: Right here. “If the princess has not chosen a husband by the appointed time, then the sultan shall choose for her.” Sultan: But Jasmine hated all those suitors! How could I choose someone she hates? Jafar: Not to worry, my liege. There is more. If, in the event a suitable prince cannot be found, a princess must then be wed to… hmm… interesting. Sultan: What? Who? Jafar: The royal vizier! Why, that would be… me! Sultan: Why, I thought the law says that only a prince can marry a princess, I’m quite sure. Jafar: Desperate times call for desperate measures, my lord. Sultan: Yes… desperate measures… Jafar: You will order the princess to marry me. Sultan: I… will order… the princess… to… but you’re so old! Jafar:The princess will marry me! Sultan: The princess will marry… What? What is that? That music! Ha ha ha. Jafar, you must come and see this!

Iago: We gotta get outta here! We gotta get– I gotta start packing, your highness. Only essentials. Travel light! Bring the guns, the weapons, the knives and how about this picture? I don’t know– I think I’m making a weird face in it. [Jafar starts to laugh wildly.] Oh, boy–he’s gone nuts. He’s cracked. [Iago flies down to him and knocks on his head.] Jafar? Jafar? Get a grip, Jafar! [Jafar grabs him around the neck] Good grip! Jafar: Prince Ali is nothing more than that ragged urchin Aladdin. He has the lamp, Iago. Iago: Why that miserable– Jafar: But you are going to relieve him of it! Iago: Me?

Genie: You know Al, I’m getting really–I don’t think you’re him. Tonight, the role of Al will be played by a tall, dark and sinister ugly man. Jafar: I am your master now. Genie: I was afraid of that. Jafar: Genie, grant me my first wish. I wish to rule on high, as sultan!

Aladdin: Genie! No! Genie: Sorry, kid–I got a new master now. Sultan: Jafar, I order you to stop! Jafar: There’s a new order now–my order! Finally, you will bow to me!

Jasmine: We’ll never bow to you! Iago: Why am I not surprised? Jafar: If you will not bow before a sultan, then you will cower before a sorcerer! Genie, my second wish–I wish to be the most powerful sorcerer in the world!

Iago: Ladies and gentlemen, a warm Agrabah welcome for Sorcerer Jafar! Jafar: Now where were we? Ah, yes–abject humiliation! [He zaps Jasmine and the Sultan with his staff, and they both bow to him. Rajah comes running at him. He zaps Rajah, and the tiger turns into a kitty-cat.] Down, boy! Oh, princess–[lifts her chin with his staff] –there’s someone I’m dying to introduce you to.

Jafar: It pains me to see you reduced to this, Jasmine. [He takes a bite out of the apple she is holding.] A beautiful desert bloom such as yourself should be on the arm of the most powerful man in the world. [He waves his finger and a crown appears.] What do you say, my dear? Why, with you as my queen… Jasmine: Never! Jafar: I’ll teach you some respect! [She falls back as he raises his hand to slap her. Then he stops.] No. Genie, I have decided to make my final wish. I wish for Princess Jasmine to fall desperately in love with me. Genie: Ah, master– there are a few addendas, some quid pro quo- Jafar: Don’t talk back to me, you stupid blue lout! You will do what I order you to do, slave!

Jafar: You little fool! You thought you could defeat the most powerful being on earth! Iago: Squeeze him, Jafar–Squeeze him like a–awk! [Genie elbows him out of the way] Jafar: Without the genie, boy, you’re nothing! Aladdin: The genie! The genie! The genie has more power than you’ll ever have! Jafar: What!! Aladdin: He gave you your power, he can take it away! Genie: Al, what are you doing? Why are you bringing me into this? Aladdin: Face it, Jafar- you’re still just second best! Jafar: You’re right! His power does exceed my own! But not for long! [Jafar circles around the Genie.] Genie: The boy is crazy. He’s a little punch drunk. One too many hits with the snake Jafar: Slave, I make my third wish! I wish to be an all powerful genie! Genie: All right, your wish is my command. Way to go, Al.

Jafar: The universe is mine to command, to control! Aladdin:Not so fast, Jafar! Aren’t you forgetting something? You wanted to be a genie, you got it! And everything that goes with it!

Hi Charity again! I’m going to start apologizing for being annoying and asking so much questions. I also wanted to thank you for the clarification about the 9 vs 1 fix, it was so so so helpful to discover my sister type and understanding the differences in general. I wanted to ask some questions (it is not personal this time, is about the enneagram in general) and hope this can help other people too, feel free to not answer if you think is too much.

1. Overthinking is usually associated with the head types, right? But if you’re Ne and not a head type core, can you feel like you are (a head type)? How can we know for sure our core type?

9 ENPs think over things less and trust their gut instincts more; they are at home with their strong intuition and don't second guess it or anticipate what they will be doing next as much. I would say if you aggressively "think-think-think" without knowing how not to, you are a head type. If not, you're not.

2. Still about head types, 7s are more simple to figure it out to me, but 5s and 6s seems kinda similar. Both need to be secure, both are always looking for knowledge. 6s are more future oriented, but if you have a 3 fix, you are goal oriented as well. 5s are self sufficient, but if you have a 9 or 2 fix you are more “people oriented”. Sometimes I think that 6s are more likely to read about useful things (because they’re afraid of the future) and 5s usually read about everything (because they’re afraid of being stupid). But I don't know if this is correct and I don't think that everyone that reads a lot about everything have a 5 fix. How could we break them apart?

IDK. I read about everything cuz it's interesting to me (Ne/6w7).

I see 6 and 5 as being oriented toward or against people. 6s move toward people, 5s don't. 6s doubt themselves, 5s don't. The sin of the 6 is fear/paranoia, the sin of the 5 is avarice (selfishness). 6s are less morbid than 5s, who trust their own logic more than 6s. I mostly look for a super-ego (right/wrong thinking) vs. withdrawn (separate) stance. 5s feel like they don't belong, 6s want to belong.

3. I was thinking about characters that are types 3 and 4. It seems that the 3s (core and fix) are the “popular girl/boy” ones or have the desire to be (probably 2s too, because they need to be loved and appreciated), but the 4s (core and fix) seems like the “bad girl/boy” that doesn't want to fit in. Do you think this is usually true or just a coincidence (and 4s also have the desire for popularity that is usually associated to 3s)?

4s don't want to be popular necessarily because if everyone loves something, everyone is being "basic." They don't want to be basic, common, or easily understood. 4s are more self-absorbed (and unapologetic about it) and interested in being separate from everyone else (you're not like me, and my problems can't be fixed).

4. My last question is if you have Ne (specially ENP) and are a core 3 (or other "action" type), can you be more about “planning”, but procrastinating and doing less?

The 3 ENPs I know are pretty driven to accomplish things and look good while doing it. I think Charles Dickens in The Man Who Invented Christmas is a really good example of a driven 3 ENFP. Decides he wants to revitalize Christmas, designs his own book "just so" (only the best illustrations), and gets it all written in a few weeks, then goes on to promote it and make a lot of money off it (but he's so deep in debt, sadly, it doesn't help him much). Presentation of ideas would matter the most to a 3 ENP.

I wanted to comment on your post about enneagrams 9s and entertainment. I thought it was very good. I am a 9 (not sure on mbti type, but I have been told INTP and INFJ, but I have minor issues with both). Personally, I love reading and writing about very dark things. I’m very interested into things like true crime, I love stories where many people die, and Lolita is one of my favorite books. (BTW I think Hubert Humbert is a 9w8 SX). However, I will outright avoid something where characters (especially friends) get into a fight of some kind. Because of this I can watch something really dark and violent, but actually avoid more pleasant sitcoms. I will add though that when I write a writer is defending something (like if Lolita was actually pro-pedophilia), I would be really angry, but in that particular case, I don’t that was the author’s intent. I guess I don’t have a question, but umm… good job. I liked your post.

[ETA} One thing I forgot to mention is my writing. I changed the entire storyline because I couldn’t write a couple of sad scenes! you’d think they were about war where hundreds died with their families and animals but no .. Two lifelong friends start drifting apart after one of them is interested in someone and secretly spends time with her when he used to spend most of his free time with the friend. The abandonment the friend felt was too much for me to handle. I cried, I tried and tried. I slept on it for five days then returned with a solution.

I shipped the love interest to Canada for her mother’s sudden death and kept the bitch there hahaha! the friends never spent time apart again!

that’s all, have a nice day.

----------------------

Interesting. And Lolita is an incredibly well-written book -- so disturbing on so many levels. The author captured well the self-delusion of a pedophile who is justifying his attraction to a child. It makes a much better book than a movie. It’s been a long time since I read it, but I’d say sx9w8 is probably correct, especially in how he later reacts to certain things.

I’ve been wondering what my friend’s mbti and enneagram type he is. We’ve been knowing each other for almost a year now and we’ve been working with each other. (I have a project and he is my partner)

We have an interesting dynamic. Ever since we formed team (total of 32 members) and started working on the project he’s been more or less an anchor for me. I’m normally very hot-headed and impatient and he’s the ice. I mean … he always calm me down when work progress too slowly and when I’m angry at something. 

We get along well, though I’ve never quite able to catch his thinking or mood. Everything seems to lie under the surface. He’s very smart, for one, but never let it out an inch except when he’s comfortable. Sometimes that baffles me (since I fall head over the heel for him) because I can’t ever seem to completely read him. And … in my honest opinion, it’s rare to find someone I can’t get a read on (it’s probably because of Fe-Ni too though). It scares me a little.

Even though he’s a very nice and very sweet guy, he’s normally very detach and unemotional. If anything he hates emotional upheaval and said it gives him headache. It’s an odd combination. He’s very sweet and caring guy, kinda like a guy who’d ask you if you’re ok, hug you when you are sad and go along with you just because it makes ‘you’ feel good but in the same time he’s very logical and very detach from his own feelings. He doesn’t really know what he feels (or others at times) and sometimes give off a very polite but scathingly hurt kinda talk. And whenever we discuss things, he’d very much like to argue without emotions, only cause and effect. Like … this is not consistent with what you said earlier, it doesn’t make any sense, what is the actual purpose of doing it anyway. And he doesn’t have that kind of ‘taking charge’ of the group and maneuvering people (it’s my job).

Another interesting thing is when he talks about philosophy. Everything is neutral and there is absolutely no 'one’ correct way of things. When I assessed people and told him he just looked at me blankly and 'isn’t that just her in your head? It might not be like you think at all, maybe she’s tired or maybe something else’ (which I’d say baffled my Ni-ish 'this is the truth’). To him everything is indefinite and there’re bundles of possibility everywhere. And while I believe that belief and vision are what needed in society and any movement (belief and strength of vision bring people together toward common purpose to make change) he discards the notion of belief almost completely. He respects people’s beliefs and choices but also feel that beliefs are what hamper people from perceiving every sides of truth. He said if you have a set of belief you’ll see only from what your belief permits and can’t truly perceiving all the other sides and nuances of truth. And he believes that the kind of detachment from beliefs are what will change the society for the better. It’s interesting though I don’t really 'get’ it.

Our dynamic in work is very much “I dream, he does”. I plan out the entire scope of the project and make a long term, mostly final decision while he is the one who executes it. He is far better than me at acting and shifting plans in the moment thus making him very good at brainstorming and catching potential ideas out of thin air while I’m more focus and linear. And he’s the one who 'relief’ the group while I’m the 'control’ of the team. I maneuver people, pulling them along and match-make them, forming alliances while he reliefs the group by providing moderation. Sometimes I go too far for the potential chance and he pulls me back.

I think he might be TP though but I’m not too sure to be honest, he tested as INFJ and ENTP.

ENTP 9w1. Mild-mannered and calm, hates conflict, but open-minded and focused on consistency. And that ease of transitioning in the moment effortlessly and adapting the project is Ne.

Speaking of TPs, I read one of the ask you answered about high Fe monitoring emotional ground to make it even and not ruin the mood. I … think it’s more relatable to the low Fe, maybe? Me being Fe-dom will never, ever monitor people into feeling something. I’ll monitor the words, yes (is the expression too aggressive, is the word inappropriate) but I’ll not make someone who feels bad at something act like they feel good. My Fi friend once barged in to me and friends talking lightly and he was almost crying because his girlfriend might went to the flash-mob and it was very dangerous. I immediately dropped the casual conversation and comfort him. My ESFJ and ISFJ friends are similar, they will accept any kind of emotional upheavals so long as it’s appropriate and warranted.

My ETPs friends are different, they usually are hyper-focused on emotional space and need to force people to conform to it. My INFP friend once had a break out with her family and was literally devastated so she went to them for some comfort and they, doing their things, dismissed her completely, joked her and played with her when it’s not warranted. Because she 'ruined’ the mood. Later they reconciled, but it baffles me how someone could be so focus on emotional space in such a off-spot way… They should at least told her to wait, they’ll be right there, I think? Sometimes they can be an ass, even if they are genuinely good persons. It’s odd, really.

I think both EFJs and ETPs do it, but for the EFJ it depends on their level of development, how much control they want to assert over the situation, and their Enneagram fixes and social stacking. There are empathetic EFJs who will drop everything to comfort you and will be fine with the one grouch in the back of the bus and there are EFJs who will repeatedly attempt to get that grouch to lighten up, and then get angry about them “ruining the vacation.”

ETPs are not great at comforting people because feelings to them are strange and uncertain; they don’t understand their own emotions, much less other people’s, and so a feeler shouldn’t go to them for comfort, because they will attempt the “cheer up, it isn’t that important” method more than the deep, sensitive listening, nodding, and consoling method a feeler can usually find in another feeler. It sounds like this particular group of ETPs were 7s who just tried to dismiss it, avoid talking about it, and keep the mood ‘light’ and didn’t want to go deep into anything.

Laurel Castillo (How to Get Away with Murder): INFJ

Dominant Introverted Intuition [Ni]: Laurel is an idealist with incredibly good instincts, and when she gets a hunch, she follows it to it’s conclusion. She’s extremely intuitive and can usually discern what’s going on beneath the surface. She can be a bit stubborn once she commits to one line of thinking and can become reluctant to back down. Her gut feelings turn out to be correct a good portion of the time. Laurel is good at keeping herself focused on the big picture and doesn’t usually get distracted by sensory pleasures like some of her cohorts. She knows what she wants her future to look like and is determined to achieve her goals. She’s good at staying a couple of steps ahead at all times. Laurel isn’t big on discussing shallow topics, and prefers to concentrate on bigger issues.

Auxiliary Extroverted Feeling [Fe]: At first, Laurel has a hard time with the thought of defending the guilty, and doesn’t really like the idea of going over the law, but in the end, she typically does what is necessary. Though she’s normally quiet and reserved, Laurel is very good at understanding other people’s feelings. She is extremely empathetic and has a good grasp on other people’s emotional motivations. She’s genuinely altruistic and wants to make a positive impact and do good in the world. Even though Laurel is in love with Wes, she wants him to be happy, and doesn’t act on her feelings while he is seeing Meggy. When necessary, Laurel knows how to manipulate the people around her in order to do what she thinks is best. She doesn’t adhere to any strict code of values. To Laurel, right and wrong isn’t black and white and she will do what she needs to do in order to protect herself and the people she cares about. She’s aware that she can be morally ambiguous and she owns it. And, even though her morals can be questionable, she’s simultaneously a good person who truly cares about other people’s well-being. She desires affirmation, especially from Annalise. Laurel wants people to see that she is capable and intelligent, and doesn’t want others to think she’s only a member of the Keating Five because of her relationship with Frank.

Tertiary Introverted Thinking [Ti]: Laurel knows how to keep cool in a crisis. She’s very level-headed, and when it comes to analyzing problems for an efficient solution, she is a proven asset. She can see the best way to handle stressful situations and she does this quickly and easily – often while other people are still trying to process what happened. During these times, Laurel can skip her auxiliary function and loop between Ni and Ti. After Sam is killed, Laurel is able to remain calm, and is the one who has the idea to use the bonfire as their alibi. When Michaela’s engagement ring is missing, Laurel decides to keep it instead of giving it back (Se), because she realized that if Michaela thought she lost it at the crime scene, she would be afraid that if someone else found it (Fe), she could be linked to the crime, and would have more incentive to keep her mouth shut about what happened (Ni/Ti). When working on cases, Laurel is able to see logical inconsistencies and use these observations to come up with strategies.

Inferior Extroverted Sensing [Se]: When under stress, Laurel can become reckless. Her instincts say that Charles was involved in the murder of Wes, and follows him out of the bar with a gun. Laurel is incredibly resourceful and sees opportunities in her external world. Laurel comes from a wealthy background and is usually very fashionably dressed. She wears a lot of statement jewelry, which compliments her outfits well. Laurel is very flirtatious and sexual. She can impulsively cheat in her relationships. Sometimes, she can ignore her instincts, like the ones telling her that Frank is hiding something, or that he isn’t really a good guy.

Enneagram: I’m not sure of Laurel’s primary type, but I think her tritype is either 612 or 613.

Quotes:

Laurel: I want to feel like we’re doing something good for once.

Laurel: But I was also thinking about Connor’s car. Frank: What about it? Laurel: It’s loaded with forensic evidence. And no matter how many times he gets it cleaned…

Laurel: Good work with Connor’s car. Frank: What do you mean? He find it? Laurel: No, and he won’t, because you stole it and probably already had it destroyed. It’s also why you’re hanging out with Asher. In case he starts getting suspicious ‘keep your enemies close’ type thing. Frank: You’ve got quite an imagination. Laurel: Hmm. Whatever. Take my ideas. Just don’t say I don’t deserve to be at the grown-up table. Okay?

Frank: What’s wrong? Laurel: It was you, right? You put Sam’s ring in the woods? Frank: (raises his eyebrows in acknowledgement) You want to come in? Laurel: No. Frank: I won’t try anything . Laurel: It’s not that. I just…Thank you.

Laurel: Frank, what’s the endgame here? If Rebecca talks to the police, we all go down. But that’s not going to happen, right? Because you’re gonna take care of it? Her? Frank: You think I’m gonna whack Rebecca? Is that what you think I am? Some freaking hit man?

Laurel: Rebecca’s dead isn’t she? Frank: Why do you think that? Laurel: Because it’s true – she’s dead. Frank: Why do you think that? Laurel: She’d have gone to the police if she was still alive but she didn’t because she’s dead. And now none of us need to worry, right? Frank: You need to go.

Connor: Whoever killed him cut the gas line. Laurel: You mean you cut the gas line.

Laurel: Your mailbox isn’t full, so I know that means you’re checking your messages and not dead somewhere.

Michaela: Okay, I’m gonna up the window to throw up now. Laurel: Michaela… Michaela: I’m allowed to be weirded out by this conversation. Laurel: Why? Because you’re afraid to have feelings? Michaela: Around you people? Yes.

Annalise: Why’d you do it? You told them that you did it. Laurel: I don’t know. I just, I got scared. And they already blame Wes for Sam and he would just fall apart if they blamed him for this too.

Annalise: Me not paying attention to you is the best compliment you could ever get. Cause that means I don’t have to worry about you. Go back to the office and stop being needy.

Connor: You’ve had a little bad luck in the dating department, but Caleb is innocent, maybe, which makes him totally porkable. Laurel: He’s not innocent. Michaela: How do you know? Laurel: If you’re charged with a murder you didn’t commit, you’d want to blame anyone but yourself. Even your birth parents.
