It sure did help. I'm becoming more and more convinced that I am a 5.
I still have some doubt however, because 5's are supposed to have a lot of knowledge since they want to understand things.
I do want to understand things, but I don't know enough yet. Just as I typed this I realized that that is exactly what fives feel like, isn't it? ;-)
Maybe it's like the 1, who doesn't think of him/herself as a perfectionist, because in their own eyes, they don't do things perfectly.

> Hi Esther,
> It's possible that you're a 5. The high scores for 4 and 6 would arise from influences from your neighbouring numbers. The 9 could be due to the fact that fives are quite like nines in some ways ( eg both will refuse to be rushed into decisions; avoid conflict; can appear inert to others). If, as a 5, you are to preserve the conditions you need to get on with pondering the world, then you need to avoid, or work to avert, conflict occasionally, like a 9.
> As a 5 you want to understand, and part of what you want to understand is yourself, like a 4.
> As a 5 you have some fear issues like a 6 because you don't react quickly on your feet, and have to spend some time imagining attacks on yourself and figuring out appropriate responses.
> Five years is a long time to spend figuring out your type. This points to 5 or 9.
