At the same time, I've done a little introspective thinking, using a combination of personality tests and online forums to guide my thinking. Here are some interesting tests (for anyone who cares, which I suspect is not many):
-----------
My type: ENFJ
-----------
Enneagram
My tritype is 2w3, 6w7, 1w9 - the "Helper Advocate."
Some stuff from a my test results.

In enneagram theory, you have one type for how you relate to the world (either 8, 9, or 1), one type for how you think (5, 6, 7) and one type for how you see yourself (2, 3, 4.) Your tri-type contains one number from each of these triads. They are listed in the order of how strongly they present in your personality.
Your core type (your strongest type) is Type 2 with a 3 wing: Type Two individuals are generous and kind. Twos love others and want to be loved, and becoming close to others is a theme in the life of the Two. This is why Two is often referred to as the Helper type – because they keep coming, time and time again, to the aid of others. Out of all the types in the Enneagram, Twos are the most likely to help someone when they’re feeling down or when they’re being attacked. When a Type Two is stressed, they can become aggressive like an unhealthy Type Eight. When they’re healthy, a Type Two becomes emotionally aware like a healthy Type Four. You are a Type Two with a Three wing, which means that the helpful nature of the Two combines with the ambitious nature of the Three, making you a very driven individual.
....
Some words that describe you: principled, moralistic, perfectionist, self-critical, generous, helpful, selfless, loving, loyal, reliable, anxious, skeptical.

On a scale of 1-12, with 12 being the highest, this measures how much you value each type of expression of emotion.
Fascinating stuff. :DD I switched Myers Briggs a couple times-- most notably from ENFP to INTP and I believe my enneagram is around a 2 or 3 (I forgot). My big 5 should be SCUAI, and I have never heard of love languages.
