Introduction

This article shows how to use a person's RHETI scores with the Enneagram of Consciousness Process Model to: 1) confirm enneagram personality type, 2) explore preference scores for several Jungian/enneagram information triads associated with specific traits, 3) calculate the preference scores for eight Jungian psychological processes and a ninth moving function, and 4) compare these preference scores with MBTI Form M scores for eight MBTI Scale Preferences (E-I, S-N, T-F, and J-P). The RHETI and MBTI data used in the article was reported by a professional artist.

Section One: The Reported RHETI and MBTI Form M Data

1.1 Riso-Hudson Enneagram Type Indicators Scores and Personality Type Names



Type / Riso-Hudson Name / Associated Jungian Function / RHETI Total Score / Score Above Median



One The Reformer Te 19 +3
Two The Helper Fe 15 -1
Three The Achiever Me 16 0
Four The Individualist Ne 26 +10
Five The Investigator Ti 17 +1
Six The Loyalist Fi 15 -1
Seven The Enthusiast Se 14 -2
Eight The Challenger Si 9 -7
Nine The Peacemaker Ni 13 -3

The RHETI enneagram scores are close to the median for six Enneagram Points. The highest score is for Enneagram Point Four (+10) that is well known in enneagram personality type theory for their artistic nature. Mark is an artist whose media is the photographic image. RHETI and MBTI show that intuition is his preferred Jungian function. Points Four and Nine have intuition as the conscious Jungian function gift, and their combined intuition score is above the median (+7).

Conversely, Points Seven and Eight have sensation as the conscious Jungian function gift, and their combined sensation function score is below the median (-9). RHETI 2.0 data mapped on the Enneagram of Consciousness and MBTI Form M are in complete agreement that Intuition is preferred over sensation. RHETI was designed to report nine separate scores for nine separate functions for each person. MBTI was designed to report four separate functions for each person.

1.2 The Reported MBTI Form M Scores




Preference Preference Preference
Dyads & Scores Clarity Comment

E vs I E = 0 I = 21 "I" is Very Clear Reserved vs Expressive
S vs N S = 5 N = 21 "N" is Clear Possibilities vs Facts
T vs F T = 7 F = 17 "F" is Moderate Values vs Objective Logic
J vs P J = 16 P = 6 "J" is Moderate Product vs Process in Public

Mark's reported MBTI Type is INFJ.

The Enneagram and the MBTI ®, an electronic journal dedicated to providing a forum in which the relationship between the two personality systems can be explored in depth and in detail, and publicly debated. In this journal we seek to publish materials that are primarily on this topic. Papers on theory are welcome, as are papers on empirical studies. We also invite less formal papers on relevant personal and/professional experiences. And we encourage you to join in on more spontaneous ongoing discussions of related issues by using our easy-access message board -

A Call for Art

Individuals with different personality types approach art in vastly different ways, and it is this phenomenon that we are looking to explore in the 'art and personality' column. If you show one of your pieces at our site, you may include a short bio and a link to a website of your choice, where people can see more of your work. Although we receive a modest number of visitors (approximately 200 folks a day), there is a steady stream of people coming to the site, and it is a select group that tends to have an interest in the arts.

In presenting work at our site, you may use your name or a pseudonym. Your participation will cost you nothing, and there's no 'catch'. We are simply interested in art, how people approach this work, and what, if anything, this has to do with personality type.

In order to participate, you would have to provide us with:


a computer file that displays your artwork (a '.jpg' file for visual art - approximately 320x415 pixels in size, and less than 50k - or a 'midi' or similar file for music). You do not lose your rights to the material, and the file will not be used in any other way than the one that is described here.

a short description of how you approach your art. We can provide you with assistance in doing this, if you want.

your MBTI and Enneagram types. These are the two personality systems that we are using. If you don't know what type you are, you can find out by answering an on-line questionnaire that will be provided to you, free of charge (in exchange for your participation). These two types of personality indicators are not 'tests', and do not presume to evaluate you in any way - they simply measure your preferences, and establish your personality type on the basis of these preferences.
We hope to succeed in inviting artists with a wide range of personality types to particpate. In addition to persons who make their living doing art, we will display the work of beginners and also people who are more interested in the 'process' (for therapeutic or self-growth reasons) than the 'product'. We plan to display fine and commercial artists, illustrations, computer art and animations - persons involved in creating any form that can be adequately displayed in this medium (the internet).

You may sample the work that is displayed in our current issue by visiting the Journal, at "http://tap3x.net/EMBTI/journal.html", scrolling down the front page to 'art and personality type', and clicking on those words.

We ask site visitors who wish to guess the type of the artists displaying their work at our site to limit their comments to specifics about THEIR experience of the artist's work, and refrain from any temptation to assess its 'objective worth'. So individuals who present their work here can do so with the expectation of a safe environment; their work will not be critiqued or evaluated.


If you are interested in participating, or want to know more, please let us know, at art@tap3x.net.
