: Not necessarily... This logic assumes the MBTI and Enneatype are independant, which they aren't... 4s and 5s, for example, are much more often N than S - same with E and I...

: So, yes, 1s can be S or N - but the proportion of S 1s will not neccesarily be the same as that in the general population...

Obviously, they're not entirely independent. (Eg the number of extravert Fives is somewhere between very
few indeed and none.) However, the S-N axis is fairly independent of type. (Fours probably do tend to
be N more than other types do. Fives, well, maybe but I'm not sure.) The proportions of each type S-N may
vary but I shouldn't think they do so to any very great extent.
