The Most Common Infj Enneagram Type explores key ideas related to psychology, presented clearly and practically.
If you’re like most INFJs, you’ll probably take
every personality type test out there at least
once in life. Always eager to gain a deeper
understanding into their complex make-up,
the INFJ can use enneagram typology in particular
to gain the insight they need to differentiate
themselves from other INFJs. Yet, low and behold,
most INFJs actually end up with the same enneagram

What exactly is Enneagram typology and what is the
most common type among the INFJ personality type?
So, to put it in the simplest of terms, the
Enneagram is a similar personality typing
system to the Myers-Briggs Type indicator,
individuals to gain a deeper insight into how
they perceive and act in the world around them.
indicated by numbers that can further be broken
down into 2 subtypes referred to as ‘wings’.
While nobody is sure of it’s exact origin, the
Enneagram typology system is said to either have
ancient Babylon roots dating back to 4,500 years
ago or it could have come from classic Greek
philosophy from around 2,500 years ago. Wherever,
and however it was discovered - these 9 types can
And so what is the enneagram type that most people
with the INFJ personality type can relate to?
Enneagram number 4, the individualist. Even
though Enneagram typology uses a completely
different model of personality typing compared
to the 16-type MBTI theory, many INFJs seem to
end up typing as enneagram fours, and it’s
not as fluke as it may seem. Known as the
sensitive and introspective type, according to
the enneagram institute, type four is known for
being emotionally honest, creative, and personal,
with times of being moody and self-conscious.
these subtypes unlike the INFJ-A and the INFJ-T
are quite noticeably different from one another,
yet most 4s can easily relate to both sides.
Enneagram Fours that lean more towards the
Five-Wing are more likely to struggle connecting
with others with a deeper sense of introversion.
They have a tendency to over-intellectualize,
never really having the chance to turn off
their habits of over-observing situations.
INFJs that type as an enneagram four wing 5
are also much more reserved than wing 3s, with
an intellectual depth that allows them to see
easily send them into a depressive episode.
Enneagram fours that consider themselves wing
3s would be considered much more out-going,
ambitious, and may even care a little more
They’re known to be a little more charismatic and
driven for success, which is most apparent in the
Like we mentioned, most enneagram fours can relate
to both wings at different points in their lives,
with one becoming more dominant than the other
depending on life experiences and inner growth.
Besides the subtyped wings, and the extensive
analysis of the enneagram four, they ultimately
have a very similar goal in relation to the INFJ.
All they want from life is a chance to express
their inner selves and their individuality. Much
like the INFJ, they crave natural beauty in life,
while trying their best to maintain an undisrupted
rhythm in life. However, they also have a tendency
to withhold themselves from others due to feeling
vulnerable and estranged, leaving them feeling
out of place when it comes to ordinary ways of
living. Like INFJs, Type 4s fear both failure
and an inability to share their unique attributes
with their peers. So, they strive to beat to their
own drum whenever feels right, with the hopes of
giving something truly unique back to the world.
The Enneagram institute said it best when they
described the Enneagram four with this statement.
they do not really want to be alone. They
may feel socially awkward or self-conscious,
but they deeply wish to connect with people
The “romantics” of the Enneagram, they long for
someone to come into their lives and appreciate
the secret self that they have privately nurtured
and hidden from the world. If, over time,
such validation remains out of reach, Fours begin
to build their identity around how unlike everyone
else they are. The outsider therefore comforts
herself by becoming an insistent individualist:
everything must be done on her own, in her own
way, on her own terms. Fours’ mantra becomes “I
am myself. Nobody understands me. I am different
and special,” while they secretly wish they could
enjoy the easiness and confidence that others
seem to enjoy.” - If that isn’t the typical story
of a misunderstood INFJ, I don’t know what is.
Now, just because ‘enneatype’ four is the most
there are a couple other common enneagram types
amongst the INFJ population, mostly depending
on life experiences and upbringing. Some of
the most common types aside from enneagram 4
are enneagram type 2 the helper, type 5 the
investigator, and type 1 the perfectionist.
The INFJ type 2 is extremely warm and nurturing,
with the goal of having the people around
them be as comfortable as possible. The INFJ
that relates to the enneagram type 2 the most may
come across more extroverted than they truly are,
overextending themselves in a social attempt
to support their loved ones and friendships.
However, this can at times result in making
their self worth dependent on the extent they
and towards feelings of deeper connection.
The enneagram type 1 INFJ is contrastingly
opposite in a number of ways from both types 4
They are known to be particularly drawn to
human rights advocacy and actively fighting
for the things they believe in. In fact, a lot of
enneagram type ones admit that they feel connected
to a power higher than themselves that keeps
their commitment towards their morals so strong.
intuition and as a result, are constantly
moving away from feelings of corruption and
towards feelings of justice and virtuousness.
And then there's the INFJ enneagram type 5,
that is said to be considered most relatable for
INFJs who rely heavily on their tertiary function,
less extraverted and more serious nature,
the type 5 rarely acts on a situation before
deeply analyzing it as thoroughly as possible.
As a result, they can seem high-strung or intense
to be around when in reality, all they're trying
to do is figure out why things are the way they
are. In fact, because they don’t accept certain
opinions and doctrines for face value, these
INFJs have a strong need to test the truth of
most assumptions for themselves, making it seem
like they may be dismissive or challenging others.
