		<description>Hi Karen!

How are you? I left you a voice message a few weeks ago. I would love to connect soon to discuss some global transforming initiatives that I am a part of, one of which will be uniting &quot;Wise Women&quot; on an global level. I am in San Diego for a business meeting with a &quot;Wise Woman&quot; from Florida and will be returning on Friday. Is there any way we can meet up for a tea within the next few weeks? 

Thanks and looking forward to reconnecting again.

		<description>First - I understand your message perfectly so - well done!  Here are some things to consider for your dilemna.  Were either of your parents a Type 5 or a Type 9 as this can bring a strong influence into your learned patterns of thinking and acting.  I also like to ask what thoughts/behaviours/feelings  you can not turn off.  For example, I am a 2 with a 3 wing so I can look very much like a 3 in my activity level, my striving to do well, to be appropriate, however, it is all driven from the 2 perspective to belong and to be liked. It has taken great noticing to not go into rescue mode for family or friends when I see a need that I could fill. 
Do you like comfort (9) or are you aware of body comfort at all?  5&#039;s can forget about basic things like eating and relieving themselves when they are engrossed in something that they are mentally involved in. Type 5 and 6 are in the head centre and type 9 and 1 are in the body centre - where do you hang out? Ask others who know you well to read descriptions of each type and give you their feedback - we usually show up more clearly to others. Lastly look at the path of growth and see what makes more sense for you.  Good luck - it&#039;s never too late to figure it out, even when you decide what type is home base, you still get to keep learning.  That&#039;s the fun part.  Karen</description>

		<description>Greetings. I might have an interesting question for you:

How often do you encounter people who are not sure if they are a 5, or a 9?
Recently, I remembered the enneagram, after some years, and decided to do a deeper research. (When I first found out about it, I filled some test, it said: 5w4 - &quot;...well, seems close enough, I accept it&quot; I thought.) It was probably because of my increasing doubt in my supposed &quot;4&#039;ish&quot; nature. All those &quot;exaggerated&quot;, changing emotions, also the fact that 4s might &quot;like&quot; being sad didn&#039;t seem like me. (I don&#039;t, no matter from what angle I try to look at it) At the same time - well, I am a computer programmer, I just LOVE doing my little researches (which includes this whole enneagram thing, right now :) ) and I&#039;m great at anything technical. So I tried to see if I am a 5w6, maybe. I filled quite a few tests (online), and read tons of articles, texts. And yes - IF I am a 5 - I am definitely a 5w6. But, here it started: always, in every test there was a very slight influence of 9 and 1. Always there, like a shadow - except for one test, which returned the result: 9. It didn&#039;t inlude wings, it just said: 9. But, IF I am a 9, I&#039;d say I must be a 9w1. That made me wonder... and I re-read everything, just now I read also everything about 9. The main ideas that support the 9 theory are: I like peace of mind, sometimes I sacrifice something to avoid a conflict, even if I hate that sacrifice, and the fact I&#039;m not sure (&quot;If you don&#039;t know who you are, you&#039;re a 9.&quot;) - everything else says I&#039;m a 5. What&#039;s weird for me - I realised that I FEAR being a 9, like &quot;Oh, no!&quot; ...I didn&#039;t know why, I don&#039;t disrespect 9s (or anyone) in any way. I kept thinking about it and now I believe it&#039;s about my subconscious saying... &quot;It turns out you&#039;re not as smart as you thought, little boy!&quot;, making me think &quot;If I&#039;m not a 5&#039;ish intellectualist, then what was I proud of my whole life?&quot; ...more or less.

Right now, I think I must say that I completely excluded any other options than 5w6 and 9w1, but these two are pretty close to a &quot;50-50&quot;.
Am I a 5 who overanalysed things, or a 9 who thought he was a 5, and finally discovered the truth? Or maybe, is there a third option? What do you think?

I&#039;d like to thank you, in advance, for any reply. And this is not so personal: &quot;Oh, please, solve my problem.&quot; I encourage anyone who reads this to join the DISCUSSION :)

Last thing, I&#039;m sorry if somewhere, you couldn&#039;t understand me - english is a foreign language to me. I&#039;ll gladly explain if that&#039;s needed.</description>
