8, INFP, Taurus... aquarian in sun & moon, I think

The friends I have who have undergone EMDR have reported spectacular results. One went to an old therapist of mine to whom I had referred her and whom I trust implicity. If Alice uses EMDR with her clients, it's good enough for me.

I'm a high-functioning 8 (I don't understand the w-thing... I thought everybody had wings), ESTJ, Sag/Sag rising/Taurus Moon.

i receive a basic training on EMDR an year ago. I experienced it myself and i practiced it for some of my clients, esp for those who experienced some traumatic incidents and was suffering from PTSD. For me, it is like "too good to be true" and and so i always prefer to practice the traditional psychotherapy.

Hi all! 4w5, INFJ. . .and the astrology part is necessarily complicated:
Gemini Sun parallel Pluto(0.01), and inconjucnt Venus(1.1).
This combination isn't typically "Geminian"! Pluto & Venus add elements of intense, possibly obsessive passions. Sex, Taboo stuff, deep psychology. . .not your usual Gemini territory.
So if you will, tell us which planets aspect your natal Sun within 4 degrees. This is just a good start: the whole chart really needs to be taken into account.

Hi Angel,

Here's a website that takes a stab at type correlations: www.geocities.com/lifexplor...pecorr.htm

Most of the tables presented on this website show correlations among my types: 4w5, INFJ, and Oldham Sensitive. It's nice to know that in at least *one* area of my life, I'm not self-contradictory! <grin>

I'm an ENFP Liibran (stellium of 6 planets in Libra in the 8th house) who thought for the last 10 years that she was a 4. What I have since found out is that I was just a 7 with a lot of awareness about how my seveness was causing me so much pain, and was therefore depressed and thought that I was a 4.
The thing is, my E functioning isn't that strong, so I sometimes look like an INFP.
I think LIbra and 4 are alike.

I'm an 8w7, ENTJ, Leo with something about uranus? (mystical, ESP), and something else about "born on the cusp". I don't know much about astrology.

Enneagram: 4w5
MBTI: INFP
Western Astrology: Leo (Sun Rising)
Chinese Astrology: Water-Rat

One thing about me that has frustrated my attempts at self-classification is the fact that I am a very fluid individual, who adapts to various situations and people quite quickly, with different personality characteristics and traits...I'm very chameleon-like, in other words. In terms of the MBTI, I've tested as a few different types, though I test MOST often as INFP.

Hey Eric, I have seven planets in virgo and a gemini rising! But, we're basically different in all other aspects. I'm a 3w2 and ENFJ. I've noticed many Virgos are iNtuitive.

Which tests do you speak of?

Or are you just here to rouse some rabble?

Meghan,

The points you brought up are valid. The reason for different results when the test is taken at different times is that we are all mult-faceted creatures. No one fits squarely into one personality type. The key to resolving these issues is to take the tests at different times during your life, then you will see which type is your primary and which ones are secondary, through averaging.

I've taken both the Myers-Briggs and the enneagram several times through life, and can see my major types now.

I am nearly always an INFJ, but I have scored as an INFP, and, once, as an ENFJ--all over the last several years (first took the test in a college class). Therefore, I can see I'm basically INFJ, with some INFP or, sometimes, ENFJ traits.

As far as the enneagram, I have always scored as a 4, sometimes with a 3 and sometimes a 5 wing. However, I've scored very highly as a 7 before too, and sometimes have some 6 traits. I average it all out, and I see I'm basically a 4 (true), but that I have 3,5 wings, as well as 7 traits, and maybe some 6 tendencies. It's not that the tests aren't predictive, it's that getting different types reflects the complexity of being human, and taking the tests several times is the best road to self-knowledge.

Astrologically, I'm a Scorpio Sun, Aries Moon, and Aquarius Rising.

(I actually just brought up the enneagram on a thread on the astrology tribe about the correlation between Myers-Briggs types & astrology.)

hey its "Match.com" !!

4/1 INFP Scorp (Sun) Sag (Rising) Metal Dog looking for 9 INFP Cancer (Sun) Leo (Rising) Water Monkey.......just kidding.

I actually read this ENTIRE thread - holy INFP and 4 types!

My head is spinning from all the testing information - in attempting to gain more insight into who I am (we are) ....am I not / are we not, just labeling ourselves; putting ourselves into a box?

I wonder if, as a teenager, I would have tested the same? Are any of these tests (aside from those which are based on natal charting) CONSISTENT or is the point to see where you are and work on those things you don't like about yourself while expressing those things you do like?

things that make ya go hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

ENFP
7w6
Capricorn Sun, Gemini Moon

9w1 INFJ Gemini
I'm a water rat in chinese astrology too

I'm a 4w5 sx, INFx, Gemini Sun, Pisces Moon, Sag Rising with neptune on the asc.

I noticed quite a lot of 4s have pisces moons or other strong pisces influences, though that is not a hard and fast rule.

Hi:)
I am Enneagram 7 INTP/INFP Gemini Sun Aquarius Asc Libra Moon......

Oh, and I decided to make an interesting website about it:
www.enneagramastrology.moonfruit.com

Huh, Alexandra! We have some serious overlap!

I am a Taurus Sun (12th House) with a Scorpio Moon (6th House) and Gemini Rising (ruled by an 11th House Aries Mercury).

I fluctuate between INFP and ENFP, though I've been getting E more and more as I've grown older and somewhat less shy/insecure/inhibited.

I just recently started investigating enneagrams, but I tend to shift a lot in results and am not sure yet what I should really be typing as. I think I'm a 4 or a 9, but probably a 9. I get 2 a lot, also, but I'm less confident or proud than most 2 descriptions let on that I should be, as a 2... though I do obsessively help others because I want to feel useful and loved and hold on to connections to loved ones, though a lot of it is also to make up for general personal insecurity/lack of meaning/not dealing with my own work, which is more 9 stuff, right? And I'm quite accommodating and laid back, typically. And I do a lot of the basking-in-melancholy, tragic-hopeless-obsessive-romantic, fascinated-with-emotional-self-awareness-and-analysis, envious-desire-to-be-unique-and-special-and-creative 4 stuff, too. Sigh! No idea........

So, anyhow, Taurus, INFP, 4/9 connection.

Interesting topic!
