'Everyone here is so young! I am 49, and how I look depends on my mood. Sometimes I get told 40, sometimes 50.  But people usually think I am very wealthy, whem actually I am shit-poor.|||That is pretty funny. (Do enfp have similar humour to estp?)  Normally I can't stand pranks where people get hurt, and the pranksters are laughing while someone else is pissed off. You know...|||I was kind of hoping someone would finish off my (x,y) formulae, to prove that both are within the USA, using something like 0<=x<=w, and therefore that one point exists. I am only enfp, so couldn't...|||Jamaia, Johnny English's posts indicate a sporadic pattern with flurries of interest and then gaps. So I think he might be an arms dealer, and this is definitely a troll. Assuming he is presently in...|||And if you spin the map so that its orientation is the same as the territory, the location of the point on the map, if it exists, is given by  x = A / (N-1) y = B / (N-1)  where A = the...|||If you put a needle through one such point, you can spin the map around the needle, and the point remains the same.  This proves that a single point may exist, but not more.  (enfp, in for the...|||MisterPerfect, after reading the above I went to your profile to find your age - expecting youngish, and was right. Younger people of all types tend not to truly understand how different people are,...|||:D|||I have a theory that people fit into roles in a family. Just as stem cells mutate into cell types according to what is needed. So if parents are X and Y, they behave in such a way that a child can...|||... and I think I am a gypsy at heart.|||Hmm, when I do something magical, does it change to fire and corpses?|||When you persuade someone to make a life-changing decision. And then watch them for 10 years, wondering if you were right and ready to jump in with more advice if it isn't working out.|||The roar of exhausts firing up my senses like a hailstorm, and feeling real like a cut. The thrill of the sudden curve. The taste of oil and petrol in the wind. The satisfying thud of the rabbit's...|||I always address people in the same way, because it is the only way that, after long and difficult years of experimentation, is proven to be least likely to offend. Other people are so lax and...|||Type 1  Danse Macabre: 1w2 michaelthemessiah: 1w2 Amadis: 1w2  Type 2  I Dream of a Supernova: 2w1 so/sx musicalmeggie: 2w1 - 5w4 - 9w1|||I don't care how you say it. Nuances, nuances. None of that changes what you mean. Your meaning is in the words, plain and simple. I will write them down and you will sign the contract. It is very...|||I was born without power and I will die without it. But while I live, you will bow to my will, or be crushed.|||Well that's another normal night's sleep. Head down at 11pm prompt, and woke up at 6.52. I set my alarm 8 minutes ahead to ensure I can always rise in time. I dressed in 3 minutes, then attended to...|||All types can be good at reading people, they just have different methods. But if he factors people and their reactions into his decisions, and goes on feelings etc to guide his choices, he is most...|||As enfp 4w3 I was a social butterfly. If there was a group I wasn't welcome in, I felt excluded and I charmed them until I was welcome. Sometimes on walking into the common room I said hello to about...|||If you are right about ExFJ, that only leaves 2 choices - ENFJ or ESFJ.  He sounds more like ENFJ to me, as they do think about their relationships carefully, and talk about them in the same way....|||I can't bear to go out tonight. All of those people smiling and having a good time. All of that exuberance and artistry - it fills me with dread. I don't know what ill-judged rubbish will come out of...|||Think I'll just lie down under a table for a week.|||When you add one sentence to a thread that is 355 pages long, because it needed saying.|||That site I read is wrong, then - the one called Object Relations at the Enneagram Institute.  If the common theme is the expectation of rejection from others - I can see that in 2 and 8, but...|||One thing that strikes me about the Horney triad is that if you are moving towards people, your intentions lie on a scale of positivity for that person. That includes neutral intention in the middle,...|||That made very interesting reading, thanks.  I am somewhat bemused at the apparent lack of intellectual rigour in those Object Relations. I say apparent because I am only a learner. But - for...|||I'm not sure why you think it is misleading, as assertive/compliant/withdrawn is embedded in the theory. All I've done is draw out the fact that non- of each one has merit for discussion, and for...|||The whole attention-getting meme bothers me. Most people who want to stand out, don't do it to get attention. That presumes some babyish, desperately immature behaviour. The real reason is - often...|||I am only a learner. That's interesting, but if we get into other descriptions, it might complicate all of them.  Is it true that each of the balanced is a triple of something else?|||Re. balanced - is it ok if I edit the OP to call it something else? I accept your criticisms. I just kind of threw it in at the end, and didn't think too hard about it.  Maybe All Three would...|||I hope my friends never read these. They are by necessity somewhat one-dimensional, cartoon images. This guy isn't that much like the Fonz, but there are distinct similarities which I might only say...|||I am a learner at this, but while studying the tritypes I managed to put them all into 7 categories.  Most of them don't tell you which mode is dominant - that depends on on the core and the wings....|||In the spirit of Unfey I'll add my own, but I won't vote, because you should never test your ideas on the data on which you created them.  I originally thought mostly ENFP, maybe ISFP too. But...|||When you know how important it is to spend time relaxing, so that you are ready to get that important thing done. The more important the thing is, the more relaxing you have to do first.|||So far the J's are doing terribly, with 4 votes out of 26, and Fi has the lion's share.|||I know this looks like a superficial question, but bear with me. I have a theory that one particular type is highly characterised by brightly coloured hair, such as blue, red or green. I won't say...|||I have resting distinguished-and-learned-man's face.

Could you post the data here, as a numerical tab grid, or mail it to me?  It...|||I did wonder about analysing the functions, but wasn't bored enough ;)  Here is another one I did with slightly different data, which I found somewhere else.
