Ungh. Please don't take the OKCupid test. Please please please. It's a crappy test, don't trust it. Use the one at Enneagram Institute (http://www.enneagraminstitute.com/dis_sample_36.asp), if anything. Please please please.
Speaking only for myself, I thought I was a Four for a long time, and a Two for a little while. Then my friend suggested Six, and it was a good analysis. I'm a Six. Maybe it's the same chart for you.
Good ways to find out: check out the stuff on Integration and Disintegration (IE Stress and Security Points), and also see what you can find about parental treatment and how it relates to typography. And finally, keep in mind that the Enneagram is not scientific at all; it's a useful guideline for goal-setting and personal growth, but it should not be considered factual in any way shape or form. (Of course, neither should the Myers-Briggs. If anyone ever tells you, "Oh, you're an INFP [or whatever] so you should do this," tell them to shove it. Myers-Briggs is as trustworthy as fortune-telling.)
