since I'm a german.

But let me explain the term of 'Unenlightened Taoist':

Richard Rohr, a Franciscan Enneagram teacher, said Type 5 to be an 'unenlightened Buddha':

Buddha went through the world and later escaped it.

An average Type 5 escapes the world without going through it.

This makes a Type 5 an unenlightened Buddha.

Lao Tse, founder of Taoism, postulated Harmony with Cosmos by 'wu wei': 'not acting'.

An average type 9 won't act even if Harmony with Cosmos demands it.

This makes a Type nine like me:

an unenlightened Taoist.

So being Type 9 I'm an unenlightened Tourist in the Type 4 Board.

P.S.: Tiggy *dont scare me off!*
