Enneagram

I just finish something I found on Joelee blog..
Some enneagram thingy..Kinda interesting..
Here's my result..Somehow fits except the last
paragraph.

4.The Individualist

People of this personality type tend to build
their identities around their perception of
themselves as being somehow different or unique
; they are thus self-consciously individualistic. Fours
tend to see their difference from others as being both
a gift and a curse - a gift, because it sets them apart
from those they perceive as being somehow "common
," and a curse, as it so often seems to separate them
from the simpler forms of happiness that others so
readily seem to enjoy. Thus, Fours can manage to feel
superior to others while also secretly harboring some
degree of longing and envy. A feeling of being a
member of the "true aristocracy" alternates with deep
feelings of shame, and fears of somehow being deeply
flawed or defective.

Fours are emotionally complex and highly sensitive.
They long to be understood and appreciated for thei
r authentic selves, but easily feel misunderstood and
unappreciated. They have a tendency to withdraw
in the face of a world that seems harsh or crude,
and are often somewhat moody or temperamental.
They are emotionally centered and spend much of
their lives immersed in their internal mental
landscapes, where they feel free to cultivate and
analyse their feelings. A desire to manifest this internal
world often leads Fours to an interest in the arts, and
some do become actual artists. Whether artistic or not
, however, most Fours are aesthetically sensitive and
concerned with self-expression and self-revelation,
whether it be in the clothes they wear or in the
overall nature of their often idiosyncratic lifestyles.

Fours are somewhat melancholic by disposition,
and under stress tend to lapse into depression.
They also tend to be self-absorbed, even under
the best of circumstances, but when unbalanced,
easily give way to a self-indulgence which they
perceive as being fully justified as a way to compensate
for the general lack of pleasure they experience in
their lives. Rather than look for practical solutions
to their difficulties, Fours are prone to fantasizing
about a savior who will rescue them from their
unhappiness.

Intellectual Fours tend to mistakenly type themselves
as Fives, and a heavy wing can certainly exacerbate
this tendency. Fours however, unlike Fives, tend to be
self-revealing and comfortable with emotional expression.

The link could be found on his blog if you want try it out.
Oh yea,the result also shows in almost very similar to
