Hi, has anyone out there thought that they were one type and then changed their mind?

I thought that I was a two at first (my mom was one, and I grew up thinking that was the best way to be, :(), but as I've looked further into the Enneagram, I'm more convinced that I'm a 4. I've taken all of the E-gram tests I can find, just to be sure, and all of them test out 4, with 2 just mere inches behind. Also, my 3 and 5 scores are quite low, as is my affinity for those types, but my 6 is quite high. Actually, my 9 is even higher than my 3, 5, or 1. I don't get it. I feel like a four, but shouldn't my scores on the 'wings' be higher if I am? -- does anyone have any input or ideas?

Another problem is that my husband, who is a 3, is used to the idea that I am a 2, and does not react to change well. I know that I have a lot of two in me, but maybe I'm missing the boat altogether. Can anyone offer some advice?

- 8 with 4 wing, I doubt it. More probably an 8 with 9 wing who has traveled with the arrow of compulsion to a 5. ROLLIE 23:14:19 9/10/98 (0)
