Can I ask a favor if you have a moment?
I am putting together a brief transitions group for the high school seniors at my school getting ready to graduate. I thought they might have fun doing the Enneagram, Meyers Briggs, and Josef tests for self-discovery. I realized that I had never actually taken the enneagram and just assumed I was a 4 but when I took both forms of the enneagram test a bit ago at my sibling's request, turns out I am not a 4 at all but actually a 9. Its interesting to me how our self-perception can vary ... So, here is my question/favor. If you have never taken the enneagram, or if you took it a long time ago, can you take a guess which type below you think you are now and then actually take the test here at www.eclecticenergies.com/ennea...st.php and then let me know if it turns out you are right or wrong? You can shoot me an email. I am just curious if this is a common pattern with people and if it is, I have a neat idea for my group. Or if you have tested as one type earlier but switched types over the years, either on the enneagram or the Meyers Briggs, I'd like to know. Thank you!!! (If you don't want to post your result for any reason, feel free to send me an email. I'd really appreciate it!)

Re: If you have a moment!
Thu, April 17, 2008 - 5:31 PMI'm a nine. I used to think I was a 4. I read somewhere that 9's often mistype themselves as 4's, especially women. -

Thu, April 17, 2008 - 6:56 PMCan types change? I'm a seven but I'm definitely acting more and more 5 like as time passes. I know 7 relaxes to 5. Also my partner, brother, and father are all 5s, so I have lots of influence that direction.

Re: If you have a moment!
Mon, April 21, 2008 - 4:30 PMI'm defnitely a nine, and I too definitely once thought I was a four. I know it to be a thing of nine to think they're fours. I guess generally though nines tend to see others in themselves so maybe it could depend what kind of people are in a nine's life. Afterall a few my swell, swell chaps happen to be fours. How about you?
