Enneagram has about the same power as a person with observational abilities and a decent vocabulary whereas it seems socionics gets at something more hidden.
Anyway, all of that to say that I don't even know what the individual types look like. I think most people would put me as either a 584, 583, 145, or 135. I'm pretty withdrawn but I'm not super bashful or anything. I'm also not as shy and intimidated as the 5 is often described though I'm probably quite a bit more abstract than the average LIE if I were to guess.
Not trying to highjack this thread or anything....
