Ohhh! I love the enneagram!
I'm a 9w8 and I still don't quite know my Tritype but I think its 945.

I find it very accurate for me. 9 explains why I am the way I am.. why I avoid conflict like the plague and want a world of peace always.

Huh. I've never heard of this before, but I just went and followed the first link and took the first test and it said:
You are most likely a type 5.

Your wings seem to be balanced.
I don't know what that means.

And then it said this:
No personality test is completely accurate. Although several measures were taken to make this test as accurate as possible, there's always a chance that you are not typed correctly by it. Therefore, when deciding which Enneagram type and wing you are, you might also want to consider the types with the highest test scores on the lists below.

(Note that your lowest scores may be omitted.)
Type 5 - 11.7
Type 2 - 8.7
Type 9 - 8.7
Type 1 - 7.7
Type 6 - 5.1
Type 4 - 4.7

Wing 5w6 - 14.3
Wing 5w4 - 14.1
Wing 2w1 - 12.6
Wing 9w1 - 12.6
Wing 1w9 - 12.1
Wing 1w2 - 12.1
Wing 6w5 - 11
Wing 4w5 - 10.6
Wing 9w8 - 9.7
Wing 2w3 - 9.6
Wing 6w7 - 7.7
Wing 4w3 - 5.6

Can one of you who seem to understand this, help me interpret it?

Type 5 - 11.7
Type 2 - 8.7
Type 9 - 8.7


Wing 5w6 - 14.3
Wing 5w4 - 14.1
Wing 2w1 - 12.6
Wing 9w1 - 12.6

These are your highest results for the different enneagram types.
You're definitely a type 5 according to this.
Probably a 5w6.

Your tritype is 5w6, 2w1, 9w1.

"w" stands for wing.
The number that comes first is your main number, with the influence of the number behind it, the "wing".

There are a lot of descriptions for fives. I find it hard to describe them. I feel like they're very intense people.

Balanced probably means that the other two numbers aren't in a specific order. They usually come in one.

So you can say you're a 529 or a 592.

I think that's what they mean by balanced, anyway.
