the people I've shown it to have been interested, friends and family. Maybe it's the work situation. My sister and her husband borrowed the book and read loads of it and totally agreed on their description - discovered for themselves that he was a Nine. Read the bit on Two - Nine relationships and said how accurate it was of them, The four was completely gobsmacked - kept saying, 'How do they know these things about me; this is me!' the one is still interested and the Nine really keen.
the Eight was cautious and agreed with much of it. Said her husband waas a Nine. My eldest sister agreed she waas a six, but has no plans to change.

I think for some people the idea of a whole plan is too daunting and it might be better to present them with the undertanding of certain traits rather than telling them their a number type on a pattern. All fours are usually interested and Fives surprisingly reluctant.
