I like the Enneagram because it doesn't put you in a box--it gives you a type, a path of integration (and disintegration), and a whole myriad of other relationships among the types to consider. Hope your caving trip was awesome. G Hey Tim,

I still have the summer unit of CPE to do and then one more year of seminary, but the whole thing feels close enough to being a “working stiff” sometimes that I’m happy to receive any congratulations now.

I knew I should've double-checked those names BEFORE posting. Oops…I meant Sexual (’Attraction’) Instinct and Social (’Adaptive’) Instinct.

Guess that's the Third Culture Kid/Global Nomad in me. Hmm...now I just gotta find someone to shell out the qwan for me to take these tests -- I'd like to know for sure!

I didn't really see myself in the description they give for a 2, though. Hm. So, why is it you prefer this to the Myers-Briggs? I've lots of experience talking about/thinking in terms of the MB, but this is the first I've heard of the Enneagram. I heard from A that you just finished your internship and are now a working stiff. Congrats!
