A while back, I was nosing around amongst enneagram sites, and ended up posting some compilations of Type 1 and Type 6(counterphobic) descriptions that seemed remarkably apt for Fraser and RayK respectively. Just recently, while looking for something else, I came across this description of Types 1 and 6 in relationship, which also seemed spot-on to me.

(What I was actually looking for was stuff on 5 + 5 relationships, as a way of thinking about me and P., and that description is also pretty damn spot-on. Hey, some people do on-line quizzes, I noodle around with the enneagram, we all have our hobbies, 'K?)

If one were interested in finding out one's own type (::koff::), is the test here (http://www.enneagraminstitute.com/) one that you would recommend?

Yeah, though I am *by no means* an expert, I think their freebie short form is pretty good; it's the best I've seen on-line, certainly. I haven't actually ponied up for the full paid version ('cause I'm cheap and all). But I would also assess whatever results you get against the type descriptors, and check out descriptions at several different sites. My favorite is actually http://www.enneagramcentral.com/eenstudy.htm -- he has a nice relaxed anecdotal/metaphorical style, and is pretty funny.
