: : I find it amusing that only the 4's and 5's types have message boards on here, because we are the most introverted types (prefer to communicate behind keyboards) nd the ones who have the most interest in figuring out self and how things work!
: How is this even mildly humorous?

Dear Bart,
Nowhere in Daniel's post did he use the word "humorous". He did, however, use the word "amusing". Let's take a look at its definition (http://www.dictionary.com/cgi-bin/dict.pl?term=amusing):
a·mus·ing (-myzng) adj.
1.Entertaining or pleasing.
2.Arousing laughter.
It seems to me that Daniel making the connection between the introversion of 4s and 5s and their desire to have a board to communicate "behind keyboards" could, in fact, be considered "pleasing" or even "entertaining" when theoretical enneagram is shown out in a real situation.
Love,
Emily
