I Was Also Confused Over My Own Tritype, This Clears A Few Things Up, Thanks For Spending Time On This

I was also confused over my own tritype, this clears a few things up, thanks for spending time on this answer FunkyMbti!

Hey! I‘m (mostly) sure that I‘m an ENTP, but at the moment I‘m kind of struggling to find out my Enneagram type, because it seems like so many of them would apply. To be honest, my tritype is probably 379 but I don‘t know which core type fits me best. 7w6 is probably what I project most when I‘m around friends or people I want to “entertain“ but I‘m more of 3w2 in a professional environment. But then I read some time ago that your core type is often what you don‘t really like but grudgingly admit about yourself, which made me think of 9w8, especially because I didn‘t even consider ENTP for me before I knew about cognitive functions, so I probably don‘t always look like a stereotypical 7w8 ENTP if that makes sense. Do you have any tips about figuring out which one of your tritype is the core? Thanks!

Some people have resistance toward their core, yes. Others do not. I have known people to go “eww…. not me” and fight their core for a long time, and others who figure out their core instantly and embrace it as an explanation for the insanity in their personal life. So you need not consider one of your lower fixes as your core unless you have substantial evidence of being that number, including the defense mechanisms, core fears, and anxieties associated with it.

Odds are as an ENTP you’re a 7 core, since most of them are this. But you can start off by asking yourself what matters to you most: having fun, avoiding pain, and freedom from responsibility and obligation to a degree (which makes you something of a commitment phobe) or success end achievement even if it (for you, as an inferior Si) means sticking with something long after it has become boring to you, because it’s your goal. Do you live your life with specific goals in mind and put in the 24/7 workaholic behaviors needed to get there, or do you just kind of have a good time? Is your main problem projecting an aurora of supreme competence to impress other people (3) or is it bolstering up the mood and having fun and running out on things that get too hard (7).

3 and 7 are both assertive fixes which means with 9 last, keeping the peace really isn’t in the picture (meaning you could have a 6 wing) unless literally everyone involved in something is screaming at you now.  If you are a 9 first, though, your main motive in life will be avoiding anything unsettling, staying calm at all times, and quickly smoothing over conflict other than occasional 8 wing flare-ups.

“Every habit produces multiple outcomes across time. Unfortunately, these outcomes are often misaligned. With our bad habits, the immediate outcome usually feels good, but the ultimate outcome feels bad. With good habits, it is the reverse: the immediate outcome is unenjoyable, but the ultimate outcome feels good. […] The road less traveled is the road of delayed gratification. If you’re willing to wait for the rewards, you’ll face less competition and often get a bigger payoff. As the saying goes, the last mile is always the least crowded.”

— James Clear, Atomic Habits

Hi. I'm an ESTP and I find this explanation very helpful /post/183481379497/. But I was wondering, how does this process work with Ti aux? For example, you've said, "Fi needs to feel authentic self-expression, which actually means that life cannot only be lived for yourself. When you express yourself or your values into the world, you always hope to get validated in some way, and you cannot achieve validation in a vacuum." What about Ti? What does Ti need?

Ti needs to build a genuine sense of capability and mastery, which requires that you work on developing your knowledge, skills, and talents. However, this also means that life cannot only be lived for yourself. Knowledge, skills, and talents don’t mean very much when you never put them to good use, especially when you only use them as a means to convince yourself of your own superiority. This is why Ti and Fe go together. Only when you use your intelligence and capabilities to contribute something good to those around you will you feel as though you are living at your best - this is the long road to life fulfillment and realizing your potential (Ni). Many estps don’t have the patience to take the long and winding road, which is why they opt to play games and use mental tricks in order to feel self-assured (Fe loop).

I have an estp friend who makes a very, very good living in a job that requires immense adaptability and mental flexibility. However, he is not content with only being able to support himself and give his family a high standard of living. He also teaches what he knows, sets up communities to support people who are learning his craft, and mentors the next generation. Why? Once upon a time, somebody taught him how to fish and now he returns the favor by teaching others, so he understands how to show humility and gratitude. In fact, many people in his field tend to keep to themselves. He could easily rest on his laurels because he is widely regarded as a master (part of being able to claim mastery comes from social validation). However, there is something that drives him to do more than just living for himself. He’s not a complicated man by any means, his motives are very simple and straightforward, he doesn’t try to be good at everything but only at the one thing he loves, he enjoys his work and is forever practicing and getting better - he can be said to hear the call of his greater potential.
