We had a debate about a week ago, Dave.

Sorry for my sexist writing. I was an English major for a while but I switched to the more politically incorrect major of history. I never got around to taking that "Avoiding Gender-Bias in your Prose" class.
My point is, I believe that (s)he does not automatically share your idea of "All enneagram types are dysfunctional by their mere definition" (I certainly don't). And this is the philosophy you are using when you are attempting to answer his(er...) question. You might want to outline that philosophy in better detail for PseudoName so that (s)he does not wonder what the hell you are talking about.
All in malicious fun,
Ryan (who wonders which he does more, mentally or physically masturbate)
