Eneagrams: Not a strong, salient Type





I don't seem to have a single, salient Type, but rather several Types that are pretty strong. I think this makes me either:

1) developmentally inchoate;
2) psychologically incoherant;

3) a bit of an Eneagram whore;
3) more-or-less normal and balanced.

I will have to check the interpretation of the results of the test. It seems that it's designed assuming one clear and distinct result, i.e. one is to be a Type 5 or a Type 8. The explanations are not really geared for someone who one of several categories.

I enjoy taking psychology tests, especially when other people have taken the same one, and then comparing notes, ideas and experiences. Sometimes the tests are rather far off the mark I think, or sometimes just not very interesting an explanation, but then sometimes they can be very enlightening and helpful.

I should scare up my results of the Myers-Briggs and the Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory tests to see how they all compare and look for patterns.
