- Well, except for type III they can all be subsumed under some set of
- MBTI type see the appendix for the mapping (I don't have my Riso with
- me). One of the good things about the MBTI is that it tries to be
- evaluatively neutral -- that is one doesn't judge how good or bad
- someone else is when they sort them. On the other hand, the Enneagram
- is inherently evaluative. This makes it less innocent as a 'parlor
- game' and potentially destructive.
