Relationship between Different personality Systems Possible?

[HsinHsin]

Is anyone interested in Western astrology, or Chinese Zodiac, or Eneagram?
How are the systems related to the system that we use to determine our Type, if related at all?

Forer effect.

Thanks. That's a nice way to think of it.
In other words, are you suggesting that this system might be forer effect in the future?

You could argue that all these systems have provided the most accurate results for their respective time of invention and further development.
As time goes by, newly discovered techniques and methods require new systems
and the old system is replaced with its successor.
Repeat this over and over.
So, the question in regards to applying these systems is:
how accurate do you want to get?

I suppose the way we break down existing types can be done in various ways. I'm not very familiar with astrology, but although that might bring out types, I would find it hard put to match up individual's birth dates with types. All it would do is call attention to types existing.

There are other personality systems. For example I found in my notes some labels for types in between the Myer-Briggs. Here they are:

1. Between intuitive/thinking = aethereal
2. Between thinking/ sensation = territorial
3. Between sensation/ feeling = volcanic
4. Between feeling/ intuitive = oceanic
