I have an enneagram friend who thinks I am 6w5. I have also had two people suggest that I go into social work or something like that -- they thought it would be something that I would find fulfilling and that (if I remember correctly) it seemed to suit my personality. I have no Idea why they would think that of me. Ugh -- I think it would be a waste of my time. Teaching makes a little more sense, but I would never teach at anything below the university level. People see in you what they want ot see, its not a reflection of you.

I guess that test business is the same. If you feel like a 4w5 you are a 4w5. If you feel like a 6w5, you are a 6w5. Which one is it?

: How can a person tell which type they are?

What type motivation suits you, resonates with you most? -- The anwer to that question is your type

: And is it truly not possible to score as a "T" on the MBTI
: and be a 4? I suppose I am curious since maybe 60% of the
: time I score as a 4, the other 40% a 5, and I always score
: as a T on MBTI tests, usually INTP but sometimes INTJ.
