Thank you,
I understand the terminology I was just unfamilar with the acronyms. Your list will help me decipher what various individuals are refering to. I'm not an amature with the enneagram, in fact I've studied it extensively. it can prove to be a valuable tool in both dealing with others and adjusting your own behaviors and thinking patterns.
Anyway, thank you..you gave me what I asked for.
BTW, I am a four not a 7 as somebody else suggested.

: with letters such as INFJ, ESTP, etc. The letters are based on a
: type of personality assessment known as the Myers-Briggs. It
: states that there are 4 fundamental dimensions of the personality.
: They are: 1. (I)Introversion vs. Extroversion(E)...how we interact
: with the world.
: 2. (S)Sensing vs. INtuition(N)...the kind of things that we
: more readily notice.
: 3. (T)Thinking vs. Feeling(F)...how we make decisions.
: 4. (J)Judging vs. Perceiving(P)...whether we prefer to live in
: a structured or spontaneous way.
: Based on this typing system, you can come up with 16 different
: personality types. You would have to read more about it to determine
: your type, but they have tests on the internet that you can take.
: Just look for the MBTI.
