: Welcome Mustafa :)
: If you've read past posts, you'll find that I am 4, and ENFP, and commonly mistaken for a 7 - but type myself as 4w5 - or possibly 4w3 (although I think 4w5 is closer to the way I am now). On the test, I scored highest on the 4, the 1 and the 7. 5 was behind all that. I found the test to be only useful as a guide to further study.
: There are several schools of thought about wings. My basic understanding is that wings are those numbers on either side of your basic type. For a 4 this can only be 5 or 3. I'm not sure whether I agree with this or not - the jury is still out on that one - but I'm trying to learn more about wing theories by going through past discussions both on this board and on the big board. I am also reading as much about the enneagram as I can lay my hands on.
: Having said all that, it's great to meet a fellow 4/ENFP. I look forward to hearing more about you and from you in the discussions ahead.

Hello Mustafa,
There's no need to worry about being the first person to ever breach a subject of conversation. I'd imagine that most of them have been discussed before but they've never been discussed from YOUR viewpoint. Different viewpoints and biases are what keep things interesting and informative. We're glad to have ya! BTW, I am not overly impressed with the accuracy of my test results either. I could very easily have been mislead into believing that I was a 9. I'm definitely a 4 down to my socks! :)
