Thanks to [MENTION=8413]Zarathustra[/MENTION] for linking me to a good enneagram type test in which my type definately seems to be 9, as opposed to 5 which I thought it to be before (which was based on taking a shitty test and reading some descriptions without much knowledge of the workings of enneagram).

But I can't find any description on it. Just one description of the contemplatives that says quite a bit about some of them, but only says that the 954 is 'more contemplative' then the other contemplative types. Le sigh. ;P

Anyone know if a good description of this tritype has been made so I can see how much I relate to it?

Yeah, unfortunately, there's not too much out there on the tritypes.

The originator of the enneagram, Oscar Ichazo, talked about them as the "trifix" back in the day, but I'm not sure if there's any material on that, and, other than him, the only people who seem to have spent much time on it are the Fauvres, who run enneagram.net. They have a book (LINK) you can buy there -- I believe [MENTION=5999]PeaceBaby[/MENTION] has it -- but I'm not sure how good it is, or how much detail it goes into for each of the variations (there are 6 orderings within each tritype) of all 27 tritypes. They also have a 4-pt, 5-hr DVD set on the tritypes. Both are pretty expensive, though ($40 and $85, respectively), and I'm not sure whether or not they're worth it.

Also, the description is head on on all parts, except maybe " Likes both listening to and playing music.". Although I enjoy listening to music, I completely suck at making it. But I suppose having bought an electric piano and other such things to at least try to play music might be enough for this to also be true. The fact I have no talent for music just gets in the way. ;P

And ofcourse that my type is INTP, not INFP. This is irrefutable.

What, what?

You're not alone!

Even every atom is unique due to its relative position in space. We might be different, but come from the same area!
