> One side has it that the Enneagram doesn't fit everyone or that people are too complex to fit into one of nine types. The other side says that you can't label each personality to the degree I suggest. Why shouldn't we attempt to try? Let's take two 4w5's; one has a test score that goes 4-8-7-5-6-3-1-2-9 and the other is 4-9-5-1-6-2-8-7-3.

I agree with you on that there's more to personality than just the type and the wing. But how consistent and reliable would the test results be in the first place? According to the background information, the full RHETI test tells the strongest type with a 75 to 80 percent accuracy and you can be 90% sure to have the correct one within the top three. The more elusive influences would probably be even more difficult to estimate correctly.

We all have all types in us. But it's my opinion that it's impossible to measure and pinpoint everything. It's not like dealing with zip codes.
