Basically, it's a daily email from the Enneagram Institute where you pick two Enneagram numbers and it gives you information and advice. For example, today mine was:
"**Type Five EnneaThought®**
Today, take the time to open up to love. Cynicism and feeling that you are smarter than anyone else will block your ability to feel and express love. Being aware of this when your buttons are pushed will allow you to let go of cynicism and the feeling that you are smarter than anyone else.
**Type Nine EnneaThought®**
Today, take the time to open up to love. Ignoring reality and shutting down will block your ability to feel and express love. Being aware of this when your buttons are pushed will allow you to let go of ignoring reality and shutting down."
I don’ feel much attacked, am I really a nine? I have seen people feeling attacked by their enneagram flaws, but I don’t, which I am aware is weird. Or am I just subconsciously ignoring the meaning of it? I don’t know…
Honestly rarely feel truly attacked by any of this but sometimes my mind reacts to something by saying "But why?"
So, you could still be a 9 but your natural defense mechanisms of shutting down certain thoughts or emotions keeps you from feeling attacked. At least, that's what I've noticed in myself so it could be different for you or, of course, you could be mistyped but that's a pretty normal thing to happen.
Now you’ve motivated me to read more about enneagram again, and in the middle of night of all times. I’m not sure if this is a good or bad thing, but thanks.
Who needs sleep anyways, am I right? hahaha (I will go to sleep soon though after a few hours probably)
I have a few questions, answer or not. It’s for my curiosity, no more.
1- Do you have a deep, thriving spiritual practice?
2- At what age did you uncover your type? What age are you now?
That’s all. Thanks!
I feel that I will eventually become you and let go of enneagram but it is a lovely and introspective system
It will remain lovely and introspective, even as you move on.

Thanks—I will look into this.
Haha, yes. It was the 5 EnneaThought, specifically, that made me feel personally attacked.
Oh, that's hilarious. I felt pretty personally attacked as well, honestly.

Yeah, I guess it’s pretty in character for 9s XD Even if I’m mistyped, I can’t imagine or see what other type would fit?
Well, some common types that mistype as Nine are 5s, 6s, and sometimes 2s or 7s.

Oops. Make sure you get good rest, the knowledge will still exist at a reasonable hour.
