Are there any socionics/enneagram type combinations that you consider "impossible"?

9w1 ESTp

i don't exactly know what impossible means in this context, but here are a few of the combinations that i might consider most bizarre:

ILE - 1
SEI - 8
ESE - 5,6
LII - 2,8
EIE - perhaps 9
LSI - none
SLE - 1
IEI - 8
SEE - 1,5
ILI - 2,3
LIE - perhaps 3,4
ESI - perhaps 3
LSE - 4
EII - 8
IEE - 1
SLI - 3,4

ILE 6



Actually i don't know if it's impossible, but it seems like the opposite of how i use think. It seems like someone who's constantly navigating a logical fallacy (knowledge by authority), which isn't really precise enough reasoning or even an issue for me.

What do you think of a SEI 4?

That was one old pet peeve of Phaedrus, and I could see where he was coming from. User themime claimed she was SEI 4. I don't like to say "impossible" but I'd agree that 4 points more towards Beta NF.

I think SEI 4 would be unlikely, but I wouldn't necessarily say that all 4s are Beta NF even if that is the most logical combination.

SEI 4 is something i'm reserving judgment on, largely because there are about five users who i believe are likely SEIs who claim to very strongly identify with 4, including themime, kamangir, and bee -- and also arguments over dolphin (who i believe is probably not SEI) and bionicgoat (who i believe is probably a 9). of these individuals, i've communicated most extensively with themime, suggesting that she might be more effective as 2w1, though she seemed to subjectively identify quite strongly with much of what i attempted to describe of my conception of 4. i'm not sure i'm ready to draw any conclusions.

on the topic of SEI 4s:

perhaps the themes of identity and internal searching are part of a more salient social insecurity in fours. for example, consider this video:

if these types of general social fears are the typical motivating factors of a four (as opposed to getting lost in one's internal world and projecting feelings from an internal fantasy), i feel as that's probably not as inconsistent with other types (like SEI) as i might have believed. i need to do some more reading on the topic.

perhaps also worth noting is that these videos are fraught with user comments claiming variously that the individuals are mistyped.

Impossible is a strong word. I do see the vast majority of combinations, however, as exceedingly rare to the point that it's more probable the person has incorrectly utilized one or both of the systems than it is that they are an exception to the rule. i.e. ILI 4w5 is more likely to actually be a IEI 4w5 or ILI 5w4 than an ILI 4w5.

Fwiw, Mime created an "E type Blog" on Socionix.
She describes fours, why she believes she is one, etc. here: http://forum.socionix.com/index.php?showtopic=1445

The authority could be logic itself lol.

The fixation is on certainty and comfort in some system, authority, person, group, philosophy or the rejection of any authority as in the case of counter-phobic 6's.

6's do not commit authority fallacies necessarily.

for what it's worth, i'm fairly certain themime is a 9 at this point in time. this is one of my stronger enneagram typings. as in, this would receive a confidence of 5.

Why not?

perhaps it would be better to disregard everything i have said on sixes, since my viewpoints on what i can easily identify as a six is universally different from other enneagram opinions.
