> Hey all, I was wondering if any of you could help me with a little question I had-- I took the RHETI test and got some scores that were a little bit strange. Except type one and eight! I really just want to clarify my type, or maybe I'm just schizo! jk.
> I copied/pasted the test result thingy. :]
> Your highest score will indicate you basic type, or it will be among the top 2-3 scores. You have answered all the questions -- terrific!
> Type 1: 3
> Type 2: 5
> Type 3: 4
> Type 4: 4
> Type 5: 3
> Type 6: 5
> Type 7: 5
> Type 8: 1
> Type 9: 6
Those scores mean practically nothing. Take a longer test; the one on EnneagramInstitute.com requires a $10 payment, but free alternatives can be found at

and

Better yet, browse _Personality Types_ (Don Riso and Russ Hudson) and _The Enneagram_ (Helen Palmer), and figure out yourself.
