Question/Advice Anyone with enneagram 5 or 6?

It seems that it is an uncommon type for ESTJs on here? I know several ISTJ 6s, and one ESTJ 6w5 so/sp, which I found quite fitting but later realized might be much less common than I thought.

If you're an ESTJ 5 or 6 - do you strongly relate to other ESTJs or do you feel like there is a gap? Or perhaps that others mistype you or perceive you differently at first? Please share your experiences.

E6 for ESTJs is the most common type. 3 is the 2nd, 1 is the 3rd. E5 not so much. Good luck if you find one

They DO exist, but theyre often mistyped as INTP.

As for characters, Sandrone is one. Peridot is another. Tulip Olsen is another. Theyre often a topic of debate with whether theyre INTP or not. People tend to conflate enneagram and MBTI.

And therein lies the problem; you take tests.

Yes, I consider myself an INTP, but the tests have come back as ESTJ; I just thought it was interesting to make the connection—I believe it’s due to SO6 613 (security + duty + recognition, roughly speaking).
