-grins- I love these tests...
Afterwards, I write a letter to similarminds.com -
On the page your 'info' link leads too, i found something which made me step back a moment and think about the Enneagram system.
"If your main type and mean type are both five, your habits and motives are usually driven by intelligence/knowledge. For any other type combo, your decision making is compromised to some degree by irrationality. "
It is here I see that you define irrationality apparently in an objective sense. However, it occurs to me that in much of philosophy, one of the base, root, ideas is this, modified for the situation: Rationality is an opinion, opinions are points of view, and points of view are made up of purposes and experiences. Most people have a different purpose, and everyone in existence has different experiences they have been molded from. Their thoughts are defined by these purposes and experiences. Therefore, how can one determine what irrationality or rationality is?
This is not meant as an attack against the Enneagram system in away, the idea that a system that seeks to map the problems a person has just intrigues me greatly, and I would like to see it continue in a more perfected form.
