FOr the record here are the stats.
Of the general adult population....
75% Extrovert 25% Introvert
75% Sensing 25% Intuitive
50% Thinking 50% Feeling
50% Judging 50% Percieving
There are no ABSOLUTE correlations between MB type and Enneagram type.
It does seem however to individual observers that certain enneagram types
have certain PREFERENCES more than others. But lets be real careful because
its so damn easy to mistype people. In my experience the ONLY way to 100%
know a persons myers-briggs is for them to take the test.
Often times people see a certain behavior or characteristic preference in
someone and jump the gun assuming they are intuitive or extroverted, etc.
The test is the only way to know.
As for my own speculations based on observation of friends, business associates
and 'famous' people, here are the type associations that stick out in my mind as
being fairly common.
Enneagram Myers-Briggs
1 Any SJ, ENFJ in females
2 ESFP
3 Any type
4 INFJ ESFP
5 INTP ISTP
6 Any SJ
7 ESTP ESFP ISTP
8 ENTJ ENTP ESTJ ESTP
9 ISTP ISFP INFP
