: : : What are you? A Nine?

: : 5w4 last time I checked. And you? Oddly blunt question, why do you ask this?

: That wasn't blunt at all. I asked that question because Nine-to-Five is the Great Enneatype Confusion. Many Nines believe they're Fives because

: a) They're smarter than potatoes.
: b) they're not "peaceful."
: c) They're not party animals.

: Also, there was your joke about asking your cats for advice. I know it was just a joke (I hope it was), but it seemed naggingly odd that a Five would allow himself to appear so simpleminded, even in jest.

Ah...well. I just felt that there needed to be some mention of cats in the post just to stick with the established motif. As far as that making me appear simple minded...I'll keep that in mind in the future. It seems naggingly odd to me that you would assume simplemindedness, call me on it, and not be told "bite me"...even in jest. Thanks for the clarification on the 9to5 confusion. If I'm ever confused on that, your post should help.
