Confused about ennegram

[Capitu]

I got these results about a month ago:

Type 1 Perfectionism |||||||||||| 41%
Type 2 Helpfulness |||||||||||||||| 64%
Type 3 Image Focus |||||||||| 35%
Type 4 Hypersensitivity |||||||||||||||| 68%
Type 5 Detachment |||||||||||||||||| 74%
Type 6 Anxiety |||||||||||||||| 61%
Type 7 Adventurousness |||||| 30%
Type 8 Aggressiveness |||||| 30%
Type 9 Calmness |||||||||||||||| 62%


Now, I got the following results:

Type 1 Perfectionism |||||||||||| 43%
Type 2 Helpfulness |||||||||||||||| 63%
Type 3 Image Awareness || 10%
Type 4 Sensitivity |||||||||||||| 53%
Type 5 Detachment |||||||||||||| 53%
Type 6 Anxiety |||||||||||||||| 66%
Type 7 Adventurousness |||||| 26%
Type 8 Aggressiveness |||||| 30%
Type 9 Calmness |||||||||||||||| 63%

I'm kind of confused... should I take it again in a month?

I would suggest what I always suggest when it comes to the enneagram; read. A lot. It is about intentions and not about behaviours, so it is not easy to nail your enneagram type by taking tests (because your current mood or situation or environment might influence the results).

Read about the types. See if there is one that sticks out. Then read some more. Try to narrow it down excluding the least possible types; try to figure out how the system works, don't read it like astrology.

As far as I am concerned, that's the only good way to figure out your enneagram type and to actually understand what it means for you.

umm, how about you fuck the test all together? realize that these tests are made by people with about the same (if not less) competence on the topic than people like us.

Go to these sites

www.enneagram.net
www.enneagraminstitute.com

Read about each of the types and decide for yourself because -believe it or not- you know more about yourself than some pathetic excuse for a blog exercise online test.

If you insist on being tested do it right. Unfortunately professionals won't do it unless you give them money.

Sounds very tempting.... :)

A classic INFP model, I should say. The Ne may be a little missing in the latter test. I should not worry.

if you're infp then check out type 4, 6 and 9 first, you'll probably be one of those and you'll probably have 3, 5, or 1 wing

well, although the description is still depressing at least is closer to me... 4w5... I'll read more though....

Yep, I will not worry. I spent the day reading about enneagram and I realized that I am doing it again... I need to focus. I did not finish the Jung book. Usually, I read too many books at one time (with complete different subjects) and end up knowing a little of everything. Plus, I have to study math (which is probably the source of my anxiety) because I decided to go back to college.
So... I decided to be completely ignorant on the subject for a while, although I think I might be a 4w5... [resist, resist... positive thinking]


Although... learning how to spell the word would be really a great start... ;P

Yeah, in addition to the Four/Five thing, INFP will tend to run strong in Two and Nine.
