9... I can't believe it...

I am obsessed with the Enneagram. 
When I was in Philadelphia, my housemates and I sat around typing each other and laughing about what typical (insert number) we were.  ( Just in case you were wondering the make up of our house - 1,9,7,2,5).  At any rate, I was typed a 5, and from the moment I labeled myself a 5, I could not stop seeing my life through the lens of "typical 5 behavior".  My 5-ness explained everything... EVERYTHING. 

Until I went to this Enneagram typing workshop where I had the opportunity to be typed by students, guided by coaches, of the enneagram, where I learned that I was 9! in 2 separate interviews!  WHAT???
My whole world is flipped upside down!  What do you mean a 9?? How could you say, "not all people will be as obviously a certain number as she is"??  I'm so obviously a 5! I can't believe this! This changes everything...
