Your results on all types are calculated into two mean scores. Your Vmean is 3.16 and your Hmean is 5.05. Plotting them on the Enneagram map determines your overall mean type which is 5w6. (To learn more about the rational/formula behind this test click here.) |

Your main type is the Enneagram type behavior that is most pronounced in you, which for you is Type 4w5. Your mean type, Type 5w6,
is who you are, on average, based on the sum influence of all nine type
behaviors. Your mean type is a better predictor of how you generally
act whereas your main type reflects how you prefer to act. By analogy,
if you were a bus with nine different possible drivers, your main type
is the most frequently used driver (which suggests you prefer that
behavior/driver) but your mean type represents the sum influence of all
nine drivers. Another way to look at it is that your mean type
reflects where you are overall in the evolutionary race and your main
type reflects the direction you are most often choosing to move in (if
it’s higher than your mean type you are moving forward, otherwise you
are moving backward or nowhere). Most Enneagram books and tests focus
on main type and use an additional “variant” classification to account
for the influence of the other eight behavior types (drivers). Based
on your test results your variant is Social. So when reading other Enneagram books or websites refer to the Type 4w5, Social variant descriptions.
Everyone utilizes all nine behaviors to some degree, but some overly
favor less useful behaviors. The upper behaviors (4,5,6) reflect
moving forward (5 behavior is the most progress conducive), the middle
behaviors (3 and 7) reflect minimal progress or staying the same, and
the lower behaviors reflect going backwards (clinging to the past).
People stuck more often on statis quo (3 and 7) and backward behaviors
(2, 1, 9, 8) will develop less in life, then again to be too
progressive all the time (4,5,6) can burn you out physically (so if you
have a really high Vmean be attentive to physical burn out). You
can’t usually master higher behaviors without first resolving excessive
attachments or deficiencies to lower type behaviors. If you have
absolutely no sense of organization (type 1), you are unlikely to
succeed at anything. On the other hand if you are obsessed with
organization, you won’t accomplish much either.
So examine all behaviors and ask if you have issues related
to them (in the form of bias or weakness). Try to figure out methods
of getting past those fixations. Biographies are a great way to widen
your personality spectrum and assimilate the lessons of other people’s
experiences. Remember, our thoughts are what have taken us from stone
age cave people to abstract thinking creative beings, so listen to your
feelings but always be guided by your mind and what makes sense. The
scientific method (learn/observe, theorize, experiment, analyze
results, modify – repeat cycle) is the spine of human evolution and
becoming more fivish means applying that system to your own life.
