Beware of self-reports! They are notoriously innacurate.
e.g. ask people what they will be doing in the next three years, they are almost always wrong. Ask them what they are like, ask them their traits, and often they are wrong. Wishful thinking kicks in, perhaps. Also when people think something is a big concern, often it is because they focus on that particular trait - most people probably don't pay attention to it as much. E.g. my mother-in-law keeps saying she can't do anything right, that it takes her longer than everyone else to get things done properly... turns out she is a perfectionist! Same thing with the enneagram, people's self-image tends to discard chief feature, they think their personality revolves around something else. : ) anyway, back to DBA work.
