> I find myself increasingly uncomfortable saying that I *am* a certain type-I *am* 4 or I *am* 5- because...well, because none of us is *identical* to our types. I who am I am not the same as any personality I might manifest. I feel concerned that repeatedly saying I *am* a certain type will just reinforce the identification. Does this make sense? So what I'm looking for is a different way of stating type. I'm manifesting 4? Expressing 5? Doing? Having? Does anyone have a concise, accurate, elegant way of stating type that avoids an identity statement? Or any other comments?

Karen,

I very much understand your reluctance to type yourself--it's an error too many make.

When describing myself in terms of the ennegram(or any other personbality assessor)I simply state just that:IN TERMS OF THE ENNEAGRAM, I am a.....".

Or you can takee the alternative route and simply usay that your identifying characteristics in with regard to the enneagram are... Both are pretty much the same.

Ton Life!
