INFP (4w3)
Oppressed Masochistic/Self-Defeating personality type is INFP, and the "Enneagram" type is INFJ. I would say that the ENFP is the more common personality type, but the INFJ is the most likely to be seen in therapy. The ENFP is only slightly more likely to become an INFJ than an ISFP, and I think it's because they are more likely to be workaholics than their ISFP counterparts.
I believe that it is the workaholic nature of the ENFP that makes them more likely to become INFJs, because it's hard for them to find time to be happy for themselves. I think the lack of spontaneity in their lives makes them feel like they have to wear a mask outside of work, and that masks their true selves, which causes them to feel like they are not living their authentic lives. I think this is what makes them a bit more likely to seek help for the masochistic urge, and the self-defeating tendencies make it hard for them to see that they need help.
The INFJ is more likely to seek help for the masochistic tendencies because they are more likely to get angry at themselves for being so emotional in their lives.
