- I have read Riso's book(s) (I think there are two books, but I'm not sure),
- and, if I recall correctly, I am a type four (the artist). Also, if I'm not
- mistaken, the type four description is similar or compatible with my Myers-

- I find both the MBTI and the Enneagram to be interesting, informative, and
- helpful.
