That's just fine, but some people don't seem satisfied with mere tendency or probability. They apparently intend to let the problem of "correlation" itch at them until they find some exceptionless rule, however general or esoteric.

As I said, I can agree on your point, though one thing itches at *me*: your question was something to the effect of "how many ESTJ Fours do you see here?" How do you know they're not just somewhere else, these particular ESTJ's being not inclined to navel-gazing on the internet?

Each MB sort could be said to bring out a different flavor to each enneatype, and all the tried-and-true systems of human classification are thus interdependent on each other, and so on.

Except astrology, which is for confused people who, for desperate want of reliable authority in their lives, as well as for desperate need thereof, turn to the stars to tell them who they are. How pathetic. If the cosmos has any power, it's not to tell me who I am. It's to set the wonders of the world in motion after I assert to it who *I* am. How do you like THAT?

Catch ya later.
