FAQ
What are the strongest MBTI / Enneagram correlations?
The strongest MBTI–Enneagram correlations observed are:
These correlations are roughly “one out of two” (1/2 = 50%). For example, about half of all INFPs
appear to be Type 4 rather than another Enneagram type.
Beyond these peaks, most other correlations are more evenly distributed (around one third,
one quarter, or one fifth), or significantly rarer.
Are all MBTI / Enneagram combinations possible?
In theory, yes—because the two systems are complementary. In practice, however, some combinations
are far more common than others, as certain cognitive-function patterns naturally align with
specific Enneagram types.
For example, 51.14% of INFPs are
Type 4 (the Artist)—roughly one INFP out of two.
This alignment makes sense: the INFP’s dominant cognitive functions (introverted feeling and
extraverted intuition) tend to produce a profile that is highly sensitive, imaginative,
and deeply values-driven. These traits closely match Type 4, which is inwardly focused and often
characterized by a rich inner emotional and imaginative world.
By contrast, only 0.8% of INFPs identify as
Type 3 (the Chameleon)—fewer than one in a hundred.
This also tracks conceptually: Type 3 is strongly oriented toward external achievement,
status, and social validation. Individuals who fit this pattern often have well-developed
extraverted feeling, such as ENFJs or ESFJs, among whom
33.87% and 32.05%, respectively, are Type 3.
What’s the difference between MBTI and the Enneagram?
The MBTI® assessment (developed in the 1940s and owned by a private company) is based on
Carl Jung’s cognitive functions.
It describes how people tend—by preference or habit—to perceive information and make decisions.
The Enneagram, which is over a thousand years old and has no single confirmed origin, evolved through
the work of many contributors—most notably Don Richard Riso in the 1970s and psychiatrist
Claudio Naranjo from the 1980s onward. It focuses on deeper motivational drivers by describing
a compulsive psychological loop. Each Enneagram type reflects a core pattern a person may
unconsciously revolve around throughout much of their life.
In short, MBTI primarily explains the how of behavior (cognitive preferences),
while the Enneagram focuses on the why (motivations, fears, and desires).
Used together, the two systems are highly complementary.
How important is the Enneagram for personal growth?
The Enneagram offers concrete insight into the deeper core of personality, including motivations,
fears, desires, avoidance patterns, and defense mechanisms. It also helps assess internal balance:
two people with the same Enneagram type can look very different depending on their level of
psychological health and how effectively they manage
the core compulsion of their type.
