> Plus 9 levels for each can loosely get you 81 types. If you add in the wings {as Riso differentiates between say for example 1w2 and 1w9 or 6w5 and 6w7} you could get 18 types and if you consider 9 levels for each of the 18 types, you would wind up with 172 loose types. Now add my Spectrum {not based in any way on colors} theory and how many different personalities do you come up with? Even one for those "untypables".

Probably we are just accepting the fact Riso and others have said as well, that it's impossible to pinpoint the human personality with such accuracy. It's too elusive and flexible.
