Enneagrams

Got this quiz from a friend. It's available at The Quick and Painless ENNEAGRAM Test

I have heard of Enneagrams from another source outside the Internet (i.e. my therapist); whether this particular quiz is truly useful, I can't be sure, of course, but I'm posting it here because:
a) The "results" talk about what I was like as a child (accurately, I think) and what I will be like as a parent (yikes!) in ways that make sense when I consider how I am as a teacher.

b) These "results" mesh with how I feel a lot of the time. Particularly right now.
