Ah, are those the three main enneagram types of INTJs? If so I feel quite lucky because I have three close friends of all three types.
Some of the differences I have noticed between the three types and common traits. Not particularly well organized when I wrote them, just some random facts which crossed my mind.
INTJ Enneagram 5 -
The INTJ 5w4 is the closest to me and calls me a best friend. When he is with me he is more talkative than I am and probably talks more than he talks with others for the whole past year put together. His internal monologue is amazing. He tells me every one of his self directed question (out loud). I feel really lucky to hear these because this are so very linear and goes on for quite a long time. It is hard to have a linear thought line for that long I feel. And I believe i haven't met anyone who continues to think for so long on a particular subject for that long until one reaches a decision. he is extremely hard on himself and disappointed with the people around him. Quite critical too. He never shows it to the people he interacts with unless he is extremely mad. But thanks to his internal monologue spilled out at me I get to hear everything he says. he is the most likely to be under stress at most times.
INTJ Enneagram 1-
Not entirely sure whether he is a E 1 with extremely strong wing 2 or a E 2. This one is quite religious. And is the most tolerant out of all three of them. Peaceful and the most kindhearted. But at the end of the day he is an INTJ and is by all means hard on self and critical of others. Even though he adds sympathy and empathy when he criticizes others much more than the other two he does punch you on the face. This one is also the most religious of them all. And his religion forces him to be more empathetic. (He is a Buddhist.) He is also extremely helpful. And like all INTJs knows whether he can help you or not. He can work like an elephant and is the most consistent in his pace of work compared to the three. His girlfriend scolds him quite often for going out of his way to complete the work of the whole department and not only his. (I have a feeling he is an Enneagram 2 though.)
INTJ Enneagram 8 -
Growing up his father used to get drunk and beat the crap out of him. He is rude, stronger than an Ox, was in the Austrian Special forces and is one of the strongest people I have ever met. (Obviously the strongest in my close circle of friends). He is the hardest to survive with because he is so very efficient. No matter how good you are, no matter how hard you try you are never good enough. But at the same time again one of the most helpful people I have ever met in my life. He will call you stupid, he will call you slow, he will call you weak but he is so very sensitive. More sensitive than both the others but hides it behind a mask.
He is also good at something that other INTJs are not. He is good with women. Okay he is NOT romantic or flirtatious. But he is not the typical INTJs who waits eons to tell a girl he likes her. He likes a girl, he checks whether she has a guy and asks her out. He dates a lot. Mostly casual (except for the 1st one). And he parties quite a lot. but reserved and that could never be mistaken.
--
All in all all the 3 INTJs have a few things in common –
Decisive
Absolutely Confident (in their decisions)
Ambitious
Accomplished
Odd
Everyone initially hates them (except for the E 5 one who looks innocent but not)
Usually the best in the field (work place or college)
Bosses or teachers love them
Hardworking
Ruthless at times
Cunning and knows how to destroy people that hurt them (and do)
Extremely helpful (never says no due to laziness, always thinks and gives a final word, mostly a yes)
The most dependable people I know
Though not athletic has excelled in sports
(One a good cricketer E 5, one a very good wrestler E 1, one a good boxer, cricketer and a special forces soldier E 8).
Kindhearted than they pretend to be
Sensitive than they pretend to be (Except maybe the 5w4 one)
Hard on themselves
Critical of others
Can work like machines and do
Tries to do good (according to their own religious standards)
