You must both be color-blind: he for creating, you for copying this bizarre color scheme.

In which universe is red to green as very common is to common?

This is an awesome idea for a thread. All we need to do is to provide data to support it.

you're free to provide it if you wish, but I would be skeptical of the findings given the number of mistyped individuals.

I guess the question is whether or not that mistyping is biased towards particular types.

Edit: Also, what else would you base it on?

imo, it is (4, 5s and 8s are overtyped; 6s and 9s are undertyped)

mostly experience/observation

of course, any data you can provide will make for a useful comparison.

Having spent a lot of time going through the enneagram forum here, 9s seem to be talked about a lot. I do believe 6s are undertyped. 5s are talked about surprisingly little. There are two options if we want real data. First, we could look at our own stats. The second thing we could do is reach out to someone who does this professionally and see if they have data they would be willing to contribute.

I like option #2 better, but that would be a lot more work on your end, so your choice.

I can ask one person I've had interaction with. Let me see if she is willing to respond.

My experience is that 1s are undertyped while 6s are overtyped. What the?

Hm. I think 6s are undertyped. The descriptions are not particularly flattering. Not sure about 1s.

WHich leads to:

mostly experience/observation

And you're own experience/observation is a trustable enough source of knowledge to stand on his own? What about your bias?

I say either let a professional contribue to it, or open up a poll.
