: I've heard somewhere that your Enneatype is your defense mechanism against outside pressures and hurts. Your MBTI is your core personality.
I would think it would have to be the other way around, since one's
enneagram type never changes, whereas one's Myers-Briggs type changes
constantly and is, in the end, expected to cease to exist (the ideal state
being to have all one's functions in perfect balance).
