Offtopic: the more i learn about you, the more i wish I had gotten to know you before recently.

Ontopic: i've read a few times testers saying that if you're older, to answer for when you were younger. (Mid20s-early 30s, or so.) but I think we go through enough life events that while our core self might be more like we were in mid20-30, we'd still be heavily influenced by current events. Especially when raising children for 18+years, or going through a bad marriage, etc. I guess I don't take a static approach to enneagram, since it's supposedly about fixations which can change according to events experinced.
