Greatest idea ever. The time where I can edit the first post has lapsed but I'll ask wookie to add this category to it. I absolutely love the Myers-Briggs.

I also liked the MB until I got to know the Enneagram. It is astounding. I'm a counterphobic 6, anyone else?

I can't believe that for a minute. The enneagram is one step short of a horoscope. I just do not dig it at all. The Myers-Briggs aims to tell you about other people, whereas the Enneagram tries to tell you about yourself, which because of the Forer effect, is impossible. No sir, I don't like it. I also prefer the Myers-Briggs (greatly) because it answers four clearly defined questions, whereas the Enneagram is just vague nonsense. The Myers-Briggs answers:

1) How do they interact?
2) How do they learn?
3) How do they decide?
4) How do they plan?

1% of the population and dominating the forums. Kind of puts some things in perspective, though I would seriously like to see Aaron's test, if he isn't ISTJ then there is something wrong with the test.

I think it clearly explains why Aaron's posts are so good on these boards because he counters the intuition so many of us rely on.

The Forer effect has much to do with Poker... think about it.

But seriously I was reading up on this earlier today for some work i'm doing.
