Enneagram types solving a problem
1: There’s this problem. It’s vital to our existence that we solve it immediately. We must all do our duty and come up with an (ethical) solution.
2: Yeah come on guys, if we all work together we can be done in no time!
3: Well, as the world’s foremost expert on solving problems…
4: This problem is now a critical part of my identity. Oh gosh I wish someone could save me from the suffering I’m now imposing on myself.
5: Ok, this is gonna be easy *withdraws for 5 years to contemplate*
6: Ok. So… the problem. This could be the solution. But that’s risky. This could also be the solution, and the risks are lower, but it’ll take more effort. And there’s still risks. And it might not even solve the problem. But this third option…
cp6: WHY THEY F U C K ARE YOU FUCKING NERDS BUSY STANDING AROUND FUCKING TALKING INSTEAD OF FUCKING SOLVING THE FUCKING PROBLEM?!!? THERES A PROBLEM!!!! D O SOMETHING!
7: Problem :))))???? What problem ;)??!!? I’m too busy *whips* getting LIT *nae-naes* to worry about that rn. If it’s really a problem it’ll still be around tomorrow when *dabs* I’m less busy *starts twerking* getting TURNT *ODs*
8: Let’s just beat the shit out of it until it stops being a problem.
9: Can I go back to bed now?
enneagram type comparisons at a glance
compiled from typewatchenneagram.
1 vs 2 | Ones are much harder on themselves than Twos. Twos can think highly of themselves merely by seeing themselves as considerate of others. Even when Twos are self-critical, they have more of a pride in being self-critical. Twos, being image-center first, won’t hesitate to have outbursts of emotion, which seems like a lack of self-control to the One.
1 vs 3 | Ones couldn’t promote themselves to save their lives while that’s the Three’s gift should they choose to use it. Threes also have much stronger egos and are sometimes willing to cut corners. In the off-chance Ones do self-promote, it’s for the greater good, not personal benefit.
1 vs 4 | A One’s strict superego precludes them from emotional displays and indulging like a Four. Ones, unlike Fours, aren’t reactive; they have to look before they leap before reacting emotionally. A Four sees being emotional as authentic while a One sees that as a lack of self-control.
1 vs 5 | Fives, unlike Ones, don’t need to adhere to standards that apply to everyone to think they are good enough. Unlike Fives, the way Ones are rational is tied to self-control. Ones find it easy to engage the world while Fives find it draining. Fives don’t need to obey the rules while Ones are complaint to the rules.
1 vs 6 | Ones, unlike Sixes, do not worry and are very sure of themselves. They know what their purpose is in the world. They “just know” way things should be and they pride themselves in not wavering in their convictions. Ones have a drive for self-improvement that Sixes don’t have.
Ones equate repressing themselves with being more worthy. Sixes find it much easier lying to protect loved ones as they don’t have a transcendent view of morality like Ones.
1 vs 7 | Ones are inhibited. Sevens are anything but. Sevens do not believe in restricting themselves like Ones do.
1 vs 8 | Ones are contractive while eights are expansive. Eights are very comfortable making exceptions to the rules when judging people. Eights also find it easy to exempt themselves from following any rules. Unlike Eights, Ones need to follow their rules to consider themselves moral people.
1 vs 9 | Ones are tight while Nines are easygoing. If the one’s dedication to their cause is strong enough they will view losing connection with people outside their family as necessary sacrifices for the greater good while for a Nine there is nothing worse than estrangement. Nines aren’t aggressive like Ones are. They lack the One’s constant need for self-improvement and complex around perfectionism.
2 vs 3 | Twos, being compliants, feel they have to do something, in contrast to Threes who want to do something. Twos, despite being other-directed, are really creating and meeting their own expectations. Twos also find it very difficult to forgive themselves.
2 vs 4 | Fours are elitist and are very comfortable with that. Fours don’t like it when Twos trivialize the complexity of their problems when a Two says problems can be helped. Fours go out of their way to show they are not gentle while Twos suppress that. Twos are other-directed while Fours are more attuned to their own needs and self before others as the self is their primary focus.
2 vs 5 | Twos like people while Fives range from apathy to being misanthropic. Twos feel a need to be in a facilitating role for others while a Five is very comfortable withdrawing from people.
2 vs 6 | Twos tend to be much more certain and sure of themselves than Sixes. Twos are the iron hand beneath the velvet glove and are more formidable than they appear. Twos have pride in that it is always others that need their help and never the Two. Twos, being enablers, are naturally parental while Sixes are natural team players. Twos repress what is at odds with their gentle self-image whereas Sixes repress themselves to fit in.
2 vs 7 | Twos are drawn to putting themselves in positions of assisting others where they have to live up to their own expectations. Sevens don’t like to put themselves in positions that would curtail their freedom.
2 vs 8 | Twos suppress the sides of themselves that aren’t gentle while Eights wear their badassery on their sleeves.
2 vs 9 | Twos, unlike Nines, have controlling tendencies. Twos also have much stronger egos and are more formidable.
3 vs 4 | Threes focus more on self-development while Fours focus more on self-expression. Fours must live out their emotional states. Fours sink or swim wherever their emotions take them while Threes don’t like to give free reign to the expression of their emotions.
3 vs 5 | Threes are much more comfortable promoting themselves. Fives find it awkward to sell themselves in any capacity.
3 vs 6 |
Threes think it is their destiny to become someone outstanding whereas Sixes aren’t as naturally confident in their abilities. Threes keep their eye on the ball while Sixes are prone to getting stuck in contingency planning.
3 vs 7 | Threes focus much better than Sevens and aren’t as naturally spontaneous as Sevens. Sevens are much less aware of how they come across to others. Sevens are also more spontaneous and less staged.
3 vs 8 | Unlike Threes, Eights are anything but apologetic and are comfortable with people not liking them.
Eights view themselves as animalistic where that is too uncivilized for a Three’s self-image.
3 vs 9 | Threes need to become someone outstanding. They are prone to overestimating their abilities where they have their ego invested whereas Nines tend to underestimate their abilities. Nines have an inhibition against taking the initiative to make themselves heard, unlike Threes. Threes focus on meeting expectations and personal goals while Nines care about avoiding obligations. “Seize the day!” doesn’t resonate with Nines like Threes.
4 vs 5 | Fours are in the feeling triad so feelings are their home base, unlike Fives who have to periodically detach from them to prevent from feeling overwhelmed.
4 vs 6 | Fours are comfortable with their elitism as they just know they have insight and creativity others lack. Sixes don’t like it when people place themselves above others due to it being unfair. Sixes don’t romanticize being different like Fours do.
4 vs 7 | Sevens are more future-oriented and Fours are past-oriented. Sevens have a blind faith that the future will be better for them and always seem to be avoiding something to Fours.
4 vs 8 | Eights are the tough exterior with the marshmallow core underneath while Fours are the opposite.
Eights trivialize their emotions whereas Fours amplify them. Eights avoid displays of emotional vulnerability while Fours see the ability to live out their emotions as desirable.
4 vs 9 | Fours use separation to proudly affirm how different they are while Nines fear being separated from others. Unlike Nines, Fours like to bring attention to themselves and are comfortable taking the initiative to make themselves heard.
5 vs 6 | Fives are naturally curious types and love knowledge for its own sake. They are oblivious to procedures and policies in power structures. Unlike Sixes, their first instinct is to intellectualize their emotions. Sixes don’t romanticize isolation and don’t have delusions of grandeur like Fives do. In contrast to Fives, Sixes orient themselves towards practical application of knowledge.
5 vs 7 | Fives like to operate at some distance from the environment while Sevens move the environment closer to them. Fives have a limited amount of themselves while Sevens have lots of energy. Sevens are naturally spontaneous.
Sevens have much more energy and have trouble focusing. Sevens don’t feel a need to recharge like Fives do.
5 vs 8 | Instincts are an Eight’s strength while being a Five’s weakness. Eights have much more energy and will and aren’t overwhelmed by their emotions.
5 vs 9 | Nines are drawn to comforting thoughts as opposed to Fives who are mentally intense, strong-minded, and argumentative, and drawn to disturbing thoughts. Fives like to argue for sport while Nines don’t want to bother with winning an argument since it means getting angry which feels unpleasant. Fives, unlike Nines, put a premium on what they say being well thought-out. Nines have a bias to simplify whereas Fives have a bias to complexity.
Nines have an elastic cognition while Fives are constrained by their internal logic.
Nine thinking is involved with generalities whereas Five thinking is highly concentrated, penetrating, and almost microscopic in its focus. Nines are more “present” physically. Nines see being united and coming together in a positive light.
6 vs 7 | Sixes don’t have the blind faith in the future and themselves that Sevens have. Sixes are much more self-conscious than Sevens. Sixes are much more naturally responsible. Sixes are compliant types with a strong superego influence.
6 vs 8 | Eights like to feel grand and Sixes don’t. When the desire for clarity and the desire to avoid weakness conflict, the Six will choose for former and the Eight the latter. Eights often see the need for clarity as weakness and deny it.
6 vs 9 | Sixes see Nines as not alert enough while Nines see that Sixes need to chill out. Nines find it easier to gloss over discrepancies. What is okay to a Nine has a very wide latitude. Effective communication isn’t as important to Nines as it is to Sixes who need things to be spelled out. Nines are comfortable letting things happen on their own while Sixes notice what can go wrong. Sixes, being reactive types, find it much harder to shield their annoyance from others. When Nines feel smaller than their internal resources to deal with a situation, they get to a “what’s the point anymore?” paralysis. Sixes lack the presumption of Nines.
7 vs 8 | Sevens don’t want to control people whereas Eights will control people to avoid being controlled.
7 vs 9 | Sevens overestimate themselves while Nines don’t. Sevens want a lot and have a hard time accepting the world won’t give it to them. Nines are much better at adjusting their wants to realistic expectations. Sevens don’t feel invisible at all and easily take the initiative to make themselves heard. Unlike Sevens, Nines hold back their cockiness until they feel comfortable.
8 vs 9 | Nines don’t invite conflict like Eights do. Eights have a much easier time expressing anger and don’t feel invisible at all.

UPDATED PAYPAL INVOICE TUT
So with paypal’s updated TOS (the $2500 fine, hopefully we’re all aware about it if not read about it here) there’s been more of a push to use invoices. Invoices are handy because you’re in full control of how you receive money - and you can send payment reminders! However, through my digging, there has not been an up to date invoice tutorial! Fortunately, the new Invoices page is not too difficult to understand - but read on under the cut.
REALLY IMPORTANT - NEW PAYPAL UPDATE - PLEASE READ
THIS NEEDS A HELLA SIGNAL BOOST - PLEASE SPREAD THIS UP
EVERYONE needs to start using Invoices. This is very important.
Paypal has recently updated their TOS and it’s something that everyone should pay attention to.
“10.3h If you violate the PayPal Acceptable Use Policy, … you will be liable to PayPal for the amount of PayPal’s damages caused by your violation … You acknowledge and agree that $2,500.00 USD per violation … is presently a reasonable minimum estimate of PayPal’s actual damages … PayPal may deduct such damages directly from any existing Balance in the offending Account or any other Account you control.”
DO NOT SEND PAYMENTS AS “GIFTS” You will be risking your commissioners account and that is really really bad.
Artists, REQUEST PAYMENT THROUGH INVOICES. It lets YOU control how money is sent.
Commissioners, DO NOT SEND PAYMENT unless you send it through “for goods and services.” If your artist requests ‘send as gifts’ BEFORE you send payment, tell them about the $2,500 fine per violation, as they probably do not know about it.
Yes, paypal fees suck, but it’s better to have a few dollars missing than to get fined $2,500 for a $20 purchase.
Ok I Want To Jump In And Address This Since I’ve Seen This Post Spreading Misinformation.
So While Yes, PayPal Likes That If You’re Sending/Receiving A Payment For Goods Or Services, They Want You To Select So. Just Because You Send/Receive A Gift payment, Doesn’t Mean PayPal Is Going To Fine You. They WILL However, Address It With You, Since Receiving Gift Payments For Goods/Services Is Directly Circumventing Fees, Which Is Against PayPal’s TOS. PayPal Will Warn You Against Receiving Gift Payments For Goods/Services. If It Continues, PayPal Could Possibly Limit Your Account.
As For The Guideline, Which You Addressed In Your Post,
“10.3h If you violate the PayPal Acceptable Use Policy, … you will be liable to PayPal for the amount of PayPal’s damages caused by your violation … You acknowledge and agree that $2,500.00 USD per violation … is presently a reasonable minimum estimate of PayPal’s actual damages … PayPal may deduct such damages directly from any existing Balance in the offending Account or any other Account you control.”
This Is If You’re Doing Illegal Things With Your PayPal Account, Such As Selling Drugs, Weapons, Or Anything Else Against The PayPal TOS [Which You Can Find Here]. From There, Then Yes, You Could Possibly Be Fined For Damages.
