Pale Plague

Yep, I've done just that. Cadance cares for her fellow ponies, very generous towards them, giving or protecting the crystal empire for example despite being very tired - type 2; she's very committed and faithful towards friends and families, compassionate towards others and her need for security, coming alongside Shining and her friends - type 6, receptive and open lastly like a type 9; thus her tritype is 269. Cadance interestingly shares the same tritype alongside Sweetie Belle and Fluttershy. I've also included Shining Armor who shares the same tritype with Applejack.

It's good to see another who's interested in typology . I'm into MBTI as well but I find it a wee unstable, the core mechanics of the inventory is there but without have a clear linkage to the cognitive functions shown to the public as with numerous assessments with results of type percentage; it confuses the public who wished for a breif summary on it. In other words people think they are boderline intp or infp for example where this should not exist to begin with, you're either this or that because one's cog. fuction stay the same regardless of one's so call 'percentage'. The inventory showed one's type on a shallow level, it gave a brief summary which is good but generally ignores the much important cognititve fuctions which I feel, is the 'deeper part of the iceberg'. I love the MBTI despite so, it gave different contrasts of each cognitive function and how they relate to each other. Fi and Te, Fe and Ti, Si and Ne, Se and Ni. The MBTI showed how one's strength can be a weakness, how our personalities may lead on to conflict and why so, even so the jungian shadow which I'm vastly interested in, both collective and individual. They are an eye-opener in general, a beacon of hope to which I see for in humanity as a whole, as a way to get to know themselves better as well as to get to know others and how they relate to them. Much like I suppose the cutie marks of MLP, the assestments uncover one's being, perhaps not his or her purpose, or what he or she will do in life, but perhaps as a means of support to get one there. Hidden in being, time makes do our perception of others, and certainly we will learn of them and life but not all in care and support one would wish. Anyway, I still feel the enneagram tritype a better means to type others than so the MBTI. There's a certain pattern for the both of them, but I feel the enneagram is much faster in doing so. Having to depend on cognitive functions to type others itself take time, though I feel much longer than so to speak. As for the analysis you made, I've no quaints about it though I suspect a few characters not as they are. Applejack, I feel is a type 8 instead of a type 1. I find her frank, down-to-earth and while principled as may be seen. She has nothing to hide from others and is quick to action as than a type 1 whom would lay down plans or handle such a problem carefully. Rarity, I feel is a type 4 instead of a 3. While she is after a crowd, she is after a 'certain' selected crowd - the canterlot elite. She also is temperamental and dramatic which is add odds with a type 3 who would cover his/her emotions and try again, determined than ever.

I agree with what Starswirl and Discordian has to say of science and magic. Though I feel that magic is another term for imagination or creativity, a grey subject itself. Science is something that tries to find the why and how of things that exist which also includes the mind and what it concurs. Einstein himself has said that Imagination is more important than knowledge, and the reason I feel for it is because science stays by what is known. It tries to gather facts by observing, either bringing the lab to the subject or vice versa. It tries to dig in to chunks of the relative unknown whilst still sticking to what is sought and observed. Imagination, creativity, the world of intuition or abstract then comes in here when we want to find a sort of schema or pattern to what is not known in relation to what is known. We have to base our knowledge on what we know. Socrates himself has said we know nothing. We're just comparing and making connections to our experiences, to our base of knowledge, if not it, our minds are able to take us away with our own to do creation of illusion. If we cannot agree with something, we may deny and with that, we create barriers in our mind to seal away our fears. Science can exist alongside magic, because for one - while undefinable as seemingly as it is, there are things within it, of it, that we can note down, that we can learn from ulitmately. It's just so that the unknown is mostly feared, because of what we feel may be affected from it, or that the possibilities we concur from our mind it offers that cause a diversion between the two as seen with Twilight and Pinkie Pie (with her pinkie sensth). "We know little of what is to know, Even Lesser of what is known"

I'm glad you enjoyed it as well We may well be different from one another, but all of us have something in common in that we go through the process of life, of growth and learning. It is there that similar traits emerge regardless of one's personal or individual differences. We can only 'catch' or rather observe such traits. Much exist about us that we still do not know, counting too that these personality assessments can only go so deep.

Ehehe, the tittle's fitting right - the Gentle Spirit, Discord lol. He was a hard one to analyze, I've managed to pin in his 9, lack of awarness when the mane 6 became a real threat (and procrastination which we seem to share), rarely showing his anger too. His 7 being his randomness and that leaves 2/3/4 which I had a problem initially pinpointing out. He's not in it for people (as so as to regard their opinons or emotions) so 2 is definitely out, not in it for a crowd or to showcase something extravagent or out of desire like a 3... so that leaves 4....creativity and authencity.

I think I forget to add that the order of the numbers does not matter, though preferably from the smallest to the largest. So in your case, your tritype would be 125 – The Mentor Archetype. You share Princess Celestia's tritype

I think it all has to do with how we are raised - bearing that our external environment and our own individual personality shape us. Our perceptions are easily swayed by what we feel or what we think support our own, and since our perceptions are ever changing through growth, I feel it's an all in the moment kind of thing. A majority of us like Luna because she has a story and that we may relate to the incidents that followed her whereas Celestia did not or was not shown a negative side which a number of fanfics did or tried showing. The human element I suppose, is what we are looking after. Something along the lines of pain and happiness.

I'm glad you guys enjoy it been waiting to share this for some time!!! 135 – The Technical Expert Archetype Yep, yep, the 1 makes you a perfectionist, 3 driven and the 5 instead of a 6 detached. Type 6 peeps are after security, often with a comfort or company of friends, a near Twilight Sparkle at that

Hello everyone, I’ve been observing and analyzing the different personalities of characters from My Little Pony and thought of sharing them here. I’m deeply interested in typology, personality all which a branch from Psychology and am still in the process of learning more about the enneagram. The descriptions and information that are posted here are gathered from Fauvres, Enneagram Institute Discussion Board (http://personalitycafe.com/enneagram-personality-theory-forum/73452-27-tritype-archetype-descriptions.html). Do note that I am not the author of the aforementioned website, and that I am merely forwarding much gathered information from the site mentioned. Special thanks to Madhatter for compiling the 27 Tritype/Archetype descriptions. I have also included a way to find one’s tritype and main enneagram type at the bottom of the different descriptions, do try it out if you may Without further ado, let’s begin. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ponies Analyzed thus far: Twilight 136 Applejack 368 Rainbow Dash 379 Rarity 146 Pinkie Pie 279 Fluttershy 269 Trixie 478 Celestia 125 Luna/ Nightmare Moon 468 Spike 126 Apple Bloom 137 Sweetie Belle 269 Scootaloo 369 Diamond Tiara 378 Silver Spoon 268 Chrysalis 358 Discord 479 Octavia 146 Vinyl Scratch 279 Zecora 259 Lightning Dust 378 Cadance 269 Shining Armor 368 The results of the different characters above are known as 'tritypes' and their descriptions can be found here: http://personalitycafe.com/enneagram-personality-theory-forum/73452-27-tritype-archetype-descriptions.html ///Look through Pages 1-3 for Tritype Description/// Now I know a number of you are going to be skeptical, and so to reassure your doubts on their types as with their description, I've provided that description (found in the link above) here of Twilight Sparkle's Tritype. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight Sparkle, 136 – The Taskmaster Archetype Full Descriptions: The 136/361/613 is an incredibly discerning, focused and responsible type. She said they will be the most inclined to want to live up to a successful image by societal standards and to focus on duty in order to feel valuable. She called it the "true taskmaster" that is inclined to create structure and rules that others in society can follow and to implement them. She said the blindspot is that one can be so overly focused on the rules that they can lose touch with their own values and feelings in deference to what is acceptable or societally defined. This is the type at risk of becoming robotic (along with the 135/351/513). However the 135/351/513 is less relational than the 136/361/613. I was asked the differences between the 361, the 368 and the 369 tritypes. Since the question is which gut type is dominant. At a glance, it is most helpful to look at activity levels. The 361 is very industrious and busy doing to avoid anxiety, the 1 brings a need to do what is morally correct. The 368 is focused on fighting for justice, the 8 brings a need to overcome and prevail. The 369 is highly adaptable and focused on being in comfortable alignment with others. I am not 100% sure at this time but for now I am thinking 613 with 6 being very much in charge. I am a goal-oriented person who doesn't like being controlled by others..I am a friendly person. Sometimes, I come across as too mild/passive..I see it when people think they can control me. They are often surprised when they see I don't let myself get pushed so easily. Being a phobic Six makes it hard for me to truly stand up to someone though often and I end up relying on an "avoidance strategy". I focus mostly on competence/technical knowledge to get ahead in life so I don't go out of my way to manipulate/mobilize others. 136 tritype; elegant, stoic and resolute with a loyal professional veneer. (3)-6-1 - The Compliant 3 3-(6)-1 - The Competent 6 3-6-(1) - The Normative 1 Very self critical. Strong ideas about how they should act and have man guidelines that they must follow and cannot deter from. 1-3-6 : this One is usually very hard-working and well-organized. Dutiful and diligent, they also keep an eye on their own interests and like to receive prizes and praise and boost their reputation among their peers. They prefer a leading role and can be excellent managers and leaders: they can get things done as they’re efficient, more pragmatic and also more cautious and calculated. They can sometimes suffer from a bit of paranoia, and worry about their status, finances or health. Usual subtypes: social, 1w9 similar tritypes: 3-1-6, 1-6-3 flavors: hard-working, pragmatic, efficient and cautious 1-6-3 : conscientious, responsible, cautious and efficient, these Ones are very practical and productive. They’re down-to-earth, realistic and typically good managers of people and resources. They’re also quite good at predicting and avoiding possible pit-falls and are talented trouble-shooters: they’re preventive and like to play it safe. Want their hard-work and thoroughness praised and (financially) rewarded, and sometimes they might act arrogantly and engage in self-praising when they feel unappreciated. usual subtypes: social, self-preserving, 1w2 similar tritypes: 1-3-6, 6-1-3 flavours: efficient, practical, cautious and hard-working 136 Compliance meets Harmony and meets Competence. The 136 is focused on the rules.... it is an important point but they really, really task and are always busy. 631--A 6 with a strong superego. Lots of issues regarding personal competency. At lower health, the most likely of the 6s to respond negatively and reactively to pressure from others, since there is already a nearly unbearable pressure from within. --The first impression I get from this tritype is a strong image orientation. There's a constant need to impress others and to have a positive place in the social sphere. I see a need for perfection in all things, partly out of ego and partly out of duty. There's strong loyalty to causes, but more so community ones and not personal ones. But this is a very hands-on tritype who will work to achieve what (s)he wants to achieve. I see less manipulation here than the 3 might otherwise indicate, and more focus and drive. --That doesn't ring true for me ( I have this tritype ). Duty to those worthy of it, yes, but I don't find "societal standards" to be high standards at all, or worth emulating in the slightest. I find that most of "society" sorely disappoints the lowest common denominator rules. I also have a deep distrust for the public in general. So, the 136, 137 and 126 would most focus on preparing, being busy and responsible. The 1 and 6 feel they must be responsible, the 3s must do, achieve, and perform, the 4s must accomplish, the 8s must executing and so on. I have found the 136 needs to be busy to avoid feelings of anxiety …136s can enjoy needle point, baking, cleaning, organizing and/or reading to keep the anxiety at bay. [by timeless:] 6-1-3. That means they have the core desires of a 6, they interact with the world like a 1 and they like to be seen like a 3 would like to be seen. Breaking that down: Type 6 is security-oriented, and can alternate between serious doubt and serious loyalty. They tend to be pretty rule-focused right off the bat (as they are a superego type) but then add 1 onto the mix and, like that tri-type description gives you, they can get fixated on constructing appropriate rules. Type 1 is usually critical of themselves and others, which is the component that enables a Type 6 to channel their desire for a workable rule set into the desire to create a workable rule set. Type 3, the image type in this triad, likes to be seen as successful and effective. You can see how adding 6, 1 and 3 together would create a personality type that's dedicated toward seeking out the best rule set. 613 The Taskmaster. Discerning and focused 6. This is the most industrious 6. Eager beavers and highly responsible, they are always busy and can be mistaken for 3s. Fear is managed by achieving. They tend to feel the burden of obligation. They focus on duty and family. The core fears are of fear itself, danger, being alone, cowardice, submitting, deviance, uncertainty, being targeted, chaos, being wrong, bad, evil, angry, inappropriate, corruptible, condemned, failure, being incapable, or unable to do, inefficient, immutable, and inconsequential. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: I could also place the description of all the different character tritypes instead of providing the link above (do comment on it if so - I am at doubts too) though my reasoning on why not is simply because the descriptions of all the characters are long as you can see but accurate. I have also come up with a means to finding one's tritype. The assessment is based on the enneagram or RHETI, but I have come up with one that is much quicker and accurate (yet to see mistakes) assessment. Without further ado... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RHETI Tritype Assessment A much quicker assessment, three questions. Heart, Head, Gut. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Question 1: Heart Note: Of the three types seen below, which is more fitting of you? Type 2 is generous, demonstrative, people-pleasing, and possessive. (Supportive, involved, concerned, committed, interactive, people-oriented) Type 3 is adaptable, excelling, driven, and image-conscious. (Busy, practical, Type A, aspiring, competitive, adaptive, task-oriented) Type 4 is expressive, dramatic, self-absorbed, and temperamental. (Sensitive, aesthetic, intense, deep, creative, original, meaning-oriented) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Question 2: Head Note: Of the three types seen below, which is more fitting of you? Type 5 is perceptive, innovative, secretive, and isolated. (Shy, detached, ingenious, reflective, private, innovative, knowledge-oriented) Type 6 is engaging, responsible, anxious, and suspicious. (Cautious, ambivalent, skeptical, sensing, anxious, equivocating, safety-oriented) Type 7 is spontaneous, versatile, acquisitive, and scattered. (Curious, fun-loving, restless, shifting, entrepreneurial, stimulation-oriented) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Question 3: Gut Note: Of the three types seen below, which is more fitting of you? Type 1 is principled, purposeful, self-controlled, and perfectionistic. (Careful, conscientious, serious, single pointed, idealizing, values-oriented) Type 8 is self-confident, decisive, willful, and confrontational. (Strong, assured, masterful, grounded, frank, magnetic, power-oriented) Type 9 is receptive, reassuring, complacent, and resigned. (Kind, unassuming, imaginative, open, accepting, fair, nature-oriented) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Results: Place these three types beside each other (Eg: 459, 125, 368 etc) And you have your Tritype. EDIT: The order of the tritypes does not matter, though it would be preferable from smallest to largest.
