I've found those correlations helpful, too -- except for when the Enneagram raises more questions about MBTI.
Generally, now, with a nod to Randomnity: I thought about a coworker in regards to all of this. When I first met him, I figured him a "gladhander." Passing him in the hallway, or in the restroom, or anywhere, you'll hear a distinct and cheery greeting. But only to that point is he gregarious. When conversations begin, he is typically deferential. He's never assumed center stage, which I like to do when I can. Doesn't seem to voice his own opinions. I don't recall a group discussion in which I haven't had a chance to dominate the exchange. But I'm not nearly as consistent with greetings, and yet a quick look at the two of us side-by-side would hold -- at least in typical terms -- me as less of an extrovert than this fellow.
An open observation, for consideration.
