Thanks. A couple questions.

There is some chatter on the website (like every other damned personality sorter) on relationships, compatibility, and dynamics. Did you find this relevant or useful as well, or did you not come across this aspect?

Would the Enneagram system still say you're a Four? Would you agree with it? If you're not a Four, what are you now?
