Enneagram seems to predict behavior so well that I want to explore it more. This post is about the correlation between Enneagram types and MBTI types.
As per the link above:
- Enneagram One corresponds to J types.
- Enneagram Two corresponds to SF types .
- Enneagram Three corresponds to ENFJ .
- Enneagram Four corresponds to INF types.
- Enneagram Five corresponds to INT, ISTP, male INFJs types.
- Enneagram Seven corresponds to EP types
- Enneagram Eight corresponds to ETJ types
- Enneagram Nine corresponds to IFP types
Quote from the above link:
Consider the following observations based on the above relationships:
- Types characterized by Introverts (4, 5, 6, 9) and Extraverts (2, 7, 8 )
- Intuitives (3, 4, 5) and Sensors (6)
- Thinkers (5, 8 ) and Feelers (2, 4, 9)
- Perceivers (3, 6, 7, 9) and Judgers (1, 8 )
http://www.9types.com/wwwboard/messages/6231.html: Quote from this article on correlations:
Below are the strongest correlations to Enneagram type by MBTI type in descending order. The numbers in parentheses indicate respective correlational strength--the strength of a particular correlation relative to the statistical average. E.g. INTP's, with a correlational strength of 3.99, are about 4 times as likely to be Fives as the statistical average would indicate.And the award goes to types:
- INTP: 5, 4 (3.99, 1.47)
- INFP: 4, 9 (2.36, 1.70)
- INTJ: 1, 5 (3.58, 2.19)
- INFJ: 4, 9 (1.92, 1.62)
- ISTP: 6, 5 (2.94, 2.92) - results suspect (only 20 scores where the average was 95)
- ISFP: 6, 9 (2.45, 2.13)
- ISTJ: 6, 1 (4.39, 3.57)
- ISFJ: 6, 9 (4.56, 1.86)
- ENTP: 7, 3 (3.63, 2.44)
- ENFP: 7, 2 (3.13, 2.18)
- ENTJ: 8, 3 (5.39, 3.66)
- ENFJ: 3, 2 (3.05, 2.88)
- ESTP: negligible (only 7 results; indicative of an SP trend of abstinence)
- ESFP: 2, 7 (2.94, 1.47)
- ESTJ: 8, 3 (7.34, 4.27)
- ESFJ: 2, 6 (2.57, 2.16)
most introverted: 5, 4 (others fairly far behind)
most extroverted: 7, 2 (ditto, more so for the 7)
most intuitive types: 5, 4 (7 not far behind)
most sensitive types: 6 (no other types were clear-cut S's)
most thinking types: 1, 8, 5 (rest are far behind)
most feeling types: 2, 7,9,4 (after 2 the rest were all distant seconds)
most judging types: 1, 8 (the 1 was wayyyyyy on the judging side)
most perceiving types: 7, 4, 5 (after the 7 things get close)

Quote from this article:
- MBTI types distribute in such a way that certain Jungian pairs can be taken as 'prototypical' of certain 'enneazones' - as summarized in the following chart:
Nine Eight Seven Six Five Four Three Two One IF = (ISFP, INFP) ET = (ESTJ, INTJ) EN = (ENFP, ENTP) IS = (ISJF, ISTJ) IT = (ISTP, INTP) IN = (INFJ, INTJ) ES = (ESTP, ESFP) EF = (ESFJ, ENFJ) all J types
Diagram and table from the article (without permission):
Table 15: Enneagram Correlates with M-B
Based on the table above which type would be Hitler's and Vijay Salgaonkar's? (Read http://vbala99.blogspot.com/2016/01/what-was-hitlers-mbti-type.html). I wonder whether the descriptions in the last column in the table above match the types.
Enneagram type 4,5,7 have a strong preference for N as per the link. Enneagram 3,7,2,8 are more likely to be E while the rest are more likely to be I while 5 are very strong I.
Enneagram 2,4,9 are more likely to be F while 1,5,8 are more likely to be T. Enneagram 2,6,1,3 are more likely to be J while 7,4,9,5 are more likely to be P.

MBTI Temperament % for each Enneagram type graph is very interesting. It shows that SP's are highest for Enneagram types 7,8,9. SJ's are highest for Enneagram types 1,2,6,3 (then 5,4). NF is high for Enneagram 4,9,7. NT's are highest in 5,8,7.
