Hey guys!

Looking to get some peer input into my type!


To give you some non-forum background:

- I have undergrad degrees in English; American History and Human Biology. I am 7 credits away from a Master's in English (Comparative Lit). I use none of my credentials (much to my ENFJ wife's chagrin) in what I do for a living -- I'm a curriculum development manager for a major communications company (Hint: rhymes with "Nextel").

- I used to teach high school English, but left as salary expectations fleshed poorly against occupational responsibilities.

- I'm a physics nerd.

- My recent Enneagram has me at a 5w6. I should be a 5w8, but the formula forces me to ignore my second highest score. I've also scored as a 1w2, but think I was just having a bad hair day.

- Online, I think I come across as intense. In real life, I'm energetic and warm.

- I have a fear of heights; Edahn.

Haha -- thanks, Thursday.

Anything specific that led you to that conclusion?

Someone had mentioned the difference betwixt deciphering and reaching a conclusion

You are very analytical in an open-ended manner of sorts.
Very willing to go in and change course, despite your previous intentions.
I would lean towards Fe because of our conversations and how you started this thread.

I don't know.. can't get a handle on what makes you tick. I think that makes you an introvert, because you don't often share publically your innermost.

Good thought, Geoff.

I've had a hard time finding this balance. More often than not, people complain that I'm too private/secretive.

Especially family members.

It's not entirely implausible.

Agreed.

I don't pay much attention to my emotional spectrum when making decisions. I try to keep a detached perspective.

Ironically, this same rationale could be offered for why I am an F...

But Fe isn't subjective, it's objective!

Edit: Exactly. (third line)

My last few type exams suggest I'm an ENTP.

My recent enneagram (7w8) scores seem to support this general shift...

You're not like any ENTP I know.

The most interesting people seem to be almost impossible to tie down to a specific type.
