In Reply to: Ronnie you can't say 'more older'- it's a double superlative.NT posted by Tiggy - your Fourboard proof reader. on October 28, 1999 at 15:04:25:

: : : When you identified as a four, you posted a lot on the board.

: : True, and even more when I identified as 2 and 8.

: : : Then you identified as a 2w1...then an 8 I think...and now a 6w7, and you are quiet, even a tad jaded if I can be so bold. Maybe you're really busy now at work or with other things in Finland. That's fine.

: : No, first as 2w1--8w9--4w3--2w1 (1, 6, uncertain) As to posting frquency, I've just felt I don't have that much anything interesting to say.

: : : But you and I both know from our understanding of the enneagram that while you might identify with aspects of all the enneagram types, you have always, are now, and will always be motivated by the characteristics of one and only one E-type.

: : Yes, that's true.

: : : I am not trying to "get a rise out of you"--honest. I just want you to say what's going on. I am sure you have taken all the enneagram tests--RHETI and Tal's. Are you really a 6w7?

: : No, I'm not.

: : : Just curious and concerned. Your advice on the board has pretty much been "right on" I've always thought, and your thoughts come off as older, more mature than 22 (that's not a slam, 20 somethings today are more knowledgeable about life in general than they were when I was in my 20s)

: : But then I've always been more older than my age both in looks and behavior, when I was 12, at least some people thought I was 16.

: : : Try not to be so "hard edged," --that's the tone I've picked up from some of your messages, Cory's too-- as you've got a whole life of discoveries ahead of you.

: : "Whole life of discoveries ahead of you." Considering some discoveries I've experienced lately, I'm not sure if I want to see what's next. Over the past two years I've become very jaded and cynical in my outlook towards life and especially other people. I just relate to people as I perceive they are seeing me and thinking of me. Lately I've felt I spent enough time being pushed around by other people--I've just had it. I've been incredibly irritable lately.

: : : But you're not a four in any way, shape or form? I'm incredulous. Jay

: : Yes, I am a four. That's the only conclusion I draw from my motivations, feelings and thoughts. Probably a 4w5.

: : Ronnie

: : Ps. Tiggy, I'll reply to you below to the "Relief--'cos that isn't me." message.
