I've never enneatyped (is that the right word for it?) myself, though I've done the test a couple of times. The results were between four and nine and I could have picked either of them, and then got bored as I saw myself also in two and five.
But, a couple of days ago I read this: http://www.typologycentral.com/forums/enneagram/8520-new-improved-enneagram-sponge-evan.html
And it started to make some sense. I don't know enough about enneagram, so anyone who does, tell me, can it go something like this: I am basically a nine, but depending on the situation I slide up and down on the emotional variable while keeping the behavioral variable the same. It seems like when I am in a situation demanding extroversion, I will become more like a four, and when I am analyzing something I become more like five (maybe bordering nine), but the basic attitude I always come back to is nine.
I don't know, maybe this is silly to anyone who knows what they are talking about? What would the wing be in this kind of situation? I am also having some trouble understanding how big effect the instinctual variant has on the type. I am quite clearly sx/so.
