A typical INFP Nine may be laid-back, conflict-avoidant, and whimsical, whereas a typical INFP One may be a perfectionist, high-strung, and critical.

3. INFP Enneagram type 3

This sort of three is in tune with their intuition and sees possibilities that they can't wait to realize. They are dedicated and main objective individuals who will go to tremendous measures to obtain achievement and a sense of accomplishment.

Regrettably, this frequently involves suppressing their emotional side, caring less about their fundamental beliefs and needs and desires, and putting on a mask to attain their goals.

When these INFPs are in good health, they put their determination and confidence behind world-changing efforts. They might be charity ambassadors or therapists who help individuals recognize their own potential. The environment around this INFP is full of untapped potential that they wish to pursue.

4. INFP Enneagram type 4

The majority of INFPs choose 4 as their Enneagram type (Type 4 with a 3 wing: 24 percent ; Type 4 with a 5 wing: 76 percent ). Because this type is associated with the introverted emotion function, this type coupling makes perfect sense.

INFP Enneagram type 4 persons have a strong connection to their dominant introverted feeling function, allowing them to experience life on a deeply emotional level. Many of the world's authors, philosophers, and artists are of this sort. They are creative and individualistic to the core.

The pervasive, deep-seated idea that no one else genuinely understands his or her authentic self governs Type 4 of the INFP Enneagram. They may resort to artistic expression in order to explain the depths of their ideas and feelings, but they simultaneously never want to entirely disclose themselves, because the existence of their rich inner world is what they believe distinguishes them from everyone else.

Type 4 INFPs feel that they are only worthy in the sense that they are intriguing and unusual. They are continuously shifting between sentiments of inadequacy to feelings of originality and authenticity.

The Four is an INFP enneagram type that is introspective and inventive. Individualistic and original, these people yearn to leave their mark on the world. They work hard to find their identity, but no matter how hard they try, it always feels just out of grasp.

They are willing to traverse the depths of their spirit and face their worst reasons, fears, and failures in order to know their genuine selves. While many other types avoid looking at their flaws, Fours obsess over them, typically channeling their sorrow and honesty via writing, painting, or some other creative outlet.

Fours are frequently unsurpassed in their depth of honesty and may struggle to locate like-minded people who are as truthful as they are.

5. INFP Enneagram type 5

INFP Enneagram Fives are inquisitive and introspective, and they are determined to gain knowledge and expertise in a certain profession. They want to know how the world actually works, whether it's the world of music, animals, or their own inner world.

Deep down, INFP Fives fear that they won't be able to accomplish things as well as others and that they won't have the necessary abilities to "make it" in the world. As a result, they seek mastery and data in order to prepare themselves against anything life may hurl at them.

Internalizing their information allows people to feel more self-assured and certain. The only difficulty is that Fives tend to hoard knowledge so passionately that they risk never feeling prepared to confront the world. They are frequently alone, quirky, and misunderstood. However, as they age and become healthy, they may surprise others with their unique and inventive perspectives on the world. They are often highly intuitive and perceptive.

6. INFP Enneagram type 6

A sizable proportion of INFPs picked 6 as their Enneagram type (Type 6 with a 5 wing: 75 percent ; Type 6 with a 7 wing: 25 percent ). Though this type appears to have a modest association with the dominant introverted feeling/inferior extroverted thinking axis, it is most closely connected with the INFP's tertiary function introverted sensing.

This sort of INFP Enneagram is likely to have a tumultuous connection with his or her tertiary and inferior functions, desiring security yet feeling essentially unable of providing it for himself or herself. This method complements the INFP's dominant introverted feeling function, which yearns for meaningful, long-term connections.

The type 6 INFP feels that they are safe and comfortable only when they are linked to and assisted by others. They are continuously shifting from emotions of powerlessness to sentiments of direction, inclusion, and support. They are most comparable to the ISFJ personality type in nature.

7. INFP Enneagram type 7

The INFP Enneagram Seven is a fun-loving and energetic personality type who is in touch with their intuitive side. They perceive opportunities all around them and hunt them down with zeal.

There is always more to discover, experience, and create. They may exhaust themselves in their pursuit of satisfaction and enjoyment, leaving them with the impression that happiness is always just out of grasp.

They can also be genuinely joyous and content at times, especially as they become stronger and more mature. These INFPs are often wanderers, looking for significance, satisfaction, and new sensations everywhere they go. They seek enjoyment and fulfilment by instilling a sense of thrill and wonder in the world around them via the use of their intuition and emotion sides.

8. INFP Enneagram type 8

Independent and self-sufficient, INFP Enneagram type 8 will go to great lengths to defend their views. They are more combative and forceful than other INFPs, fighting for what they belief in, especially underdogs or those they see to be wronged.

Eights, on the other hand, refuse to be victims. They despise being governed, told what to do, or having their liberties infringed upon in any manner. They want boldness, self-sufficiency, leadership, and autonomy, resolute that no one will take away their rights and liberties.

9. INFP Enneagram type 9

A sizable proportion of INFPs choose 9 as their Enneagram type (Type 9 with an 8 wing: 15 percent ; Type 9 with a 1 wing: 85 percent ). Because this type is associated with the INFP's primary function, introverted emotion, this coupling makes sense.

These INFPs are spiritual by nature and frequently express feeling linked to a higher power – which might be anything from a traditional religious institution to an earthy flow of energy connecting people to one another or to nature.

Type 9 INFPs think that they are only worthy if they are in touch with their inner self and the people around them. They are continually shifting from sentiments of loss or detachment to feelings of harmony and tranquility.

Because Nines are part of the Enneagram's Gut/Anger triad, they suffer with Anger. They cope with stress by downplaying their own will and choices, often deciding to do what others desire in order to maintain unity and serenity.

However, underneath their nice attitude may be brewing a storm — rage that has been buried and stifled for days, weeks, or even years.
