* Sure, I like to stress the systemic/complex reality of self too! We are not just one type with hopefully a slight influence from either the rightish or leftish neighbor... We are in fact a "gang" trying to learn and live together in a rather limited space: interesting how this inner group dynamic shapes up over time.

: : I'm curious, how old were you when you took the test 7 years ago? A friend of mine recently observed, through his younger siblings, that certain types take longer to manifest themselves. Though both he and myself were very clearly a 4w5 and 5w4, respectively, as early as age 10, his now 3w2 sister and my 4w3 brother did not begin to act out the tendencies of their Enneatypes until about 15 or 16. Before then, they exhibited mixed tendencies of all the types( though admittedly favored tendencies of types similar to their final one. My 4w5 brother at times acted like a five, sometimes like a nine or a two, but never like an 8, 7 or 1.)
