When I've looked at various Enneagram descriptions in the past and taken several tests, I thought I was either a 4, 5, 1 or 2. (4w5 seemed to make the most sense under what little I know of the normal Enneagram system)
I also had a hard time with the descriptions in your system trying to figure out which really apply to me, since I also don't show a lot of emotion most of the time, but I sometimes have to focus a lot of energy to supress emotion in public (depending on the strength of the emotion), so its definately not somethign that comes naturally to me, and trying to show a fake emotion is next to impossible for me, so I would choose teh following order for those...
turbulent
suppressive
controlling
For the other set of variables, it was also hard to figure out which apply to me. There are a few things that are important to me that I do put a lot of effort to and give nearly complete disregard to the negative aspects of if it will bring me closer to those goals, but for everything else avoiding makes more sense, and when the benefit fo somethgin is intriguing, then I go into a more anyalytical pro/con analysis applying personalized weights to various aspects of the decision, so in the end I went with
avoiding
anticipating
persuing
I don't really understnad the inscintual/motivation stuff, and you did not give links for additional reading on that or give much of a description, so I don't know how I'd rank those.
If I understand your system, I'd end up somethign like this under it.
4>5>6>1>9>8>2>3>7
They one type I'd say I'm absolutly certain I am not and do not relate to at all is 3, and there is also a lot in 8 that is definately not me. After following the link that INJMom posted, I could see a strong case being made for me being a 1. Stronger than a 5, but still not as good of a match as a 4. The most surprising thing about the above results using your system is how low 2 scored and how comparativly high 8 scored. 6 and 9 also feel a bit out of place to me.
