I dont mind it too much. Though I like to think of myself more as a 10...out of 10

I'm split between number 5 and number 9, with 5 being one number higher. But that goes along well with the Meyer-Briggs test
Weird...I've never heard of that test, and just took it. Apparently, I'm well-balanced in the 'wing' department, and I'm a 9.
@ Violakat: They explained how 9's often take on other numbers' traits, and often confuse themselves for 2s,4s,and 5s...so that's interesting.
My list in order... 9 highest, 4 & 2 tied, then 5...so I'm definitely a 9, lol.

Hmm, the Enneagram test I just took gave interesting results. I'm tied between Type 1 and Type 2. Type 2 doesn't seem to match up with an INTJ. :/
More detailed analysis (trying to bear in mind that I'm an INFJ) :
9w8: 9pts
9w1: 9pts
2w3: 8.2pts
4w3: 8.2pts
4W5: 8pts
2W1: 8pts
...and continuing in gradually decreasing increments...

I don't remember my wing, but I feel more like a 1 some days. Which is good considering the path to integration is from a 4 to 1; from heart to gut. But I sometimes pick up the negative traits of a 1: critical of self and others; too idealistic and not very forgiving. I hate being a 4 only because I think with my feelings, and not my head, causes me to be impulsive, sensitive and touchy. I do like the intuitiveness and seeking authenticity in self and others about the 4. 4's make good counselors from what I hear. Same with INFP's, it appears.

If you're like me, you took the short free version. Chances are, the longer version would be more accurate. However, you could still have a second dominate personality.
Yeah, I actually took 3 because I doubted the results. 1 is definitely my most dominant, but 2 kept showing up as either tied or a close second. Yeah, I guess these results just further support the idea that I am quite nearly an INFJ. Or rather, seeing as Christ was likely an INFJ, I'm probably an INTJ constantly striving to emulate some aspects of an INFJ. 
Also, I'd put Jesus in a Type 2 I think, based on what I've read at least.

That's funny, Lightning. I'm the same way. INTP by nature, INFJ-like through Christ's influence.
The best of NF though, not those shabby qualities they tried to inculcate in me while in public school.
Before the chorus decrying NT's pops up, I am well aware of our inadequacies as well. Better aware of them due to experience.

I read in a book called Enneagram Spirituality by Susan Zuercher, and I think even Richard Rohr wrote about this in his books. In it she says that Jesus would be all the numbers of the enneagram, making him a 10; since there isn't a 10. Perfectly integrating into each number, and living each personalities at the highest healthy level.

It would make sense too, because everyone (each personality) receives something personal from the message/ life of Christ and how he inspires us to change. Each one of us are touched in different ways. Christ would need to be universal, as well as personal. Hope that makes sense...

Being an INFJ is such a mixed bag. My brain is grateful for being able to read people well, but what I see often hurts my heart. God uses it to call me to pray many times though, so He has His reasons.

So true... especially the cubical one. I despise corporate jobs that impede on my individuality; truly feels like prison lol Also, do you think that the 'Protectors' of Myers Briggs are the 1's of the enneagram. There appears to be similarities.

I'm so glad you said that. As several people have commented, there seems to be an unusually higher percentage of INFJs on this site than are found worldwide. I have wondered whether they have all always been INFJs or whether the work and revelation of the Holy Spirit has altered this.
It would be interesting to learn whether someone had taken the test prior to having come to Christ and whether the result was different from the result they had after having walked with Him for a time, and if so, how...
I will say that I was very much an INTJ when I first took the test in HS. I was raised christian and have always had that knowledge about God and what was right, so I can't say that getting saved had a sudden impact. It took a long time, as INTJs are some of the most emotionally 'dead' people, but God taught me to love deeply and truly feel. Now I do occassionally get INFJ, it will be interesting to see as I continue growing closer to God if I do become a true INFJ inspite of my true nature. I can say this, I have often wished I were an INFJ, but never any other type...
