This really surprised me. I almost always come up 1w9 or 1w2 on other Enneagram tests. However, after reading this description, that makes perfect sense, and I am a bit blown away by the accuracy of this description... not only because it explains the connection I have with types 1 and 2, but also does a very good job of explaining the basic dynamic of Ni dominant people feeling like outsiders and Fe secondary seeking a social role that Ni will never let it settle completely upon. This also explains why so many INFJs come up as 5w4s, since dominant Ni can manifest as intense curiosity and secondary Fe be left empty of social role. Very interesting.

Edit: Stickied the thread as the test seems to have a novel as well as solid approach.
I can relate. The 2w1 descriptions sound a lot like me but I also see a lot of 4w5 in me. Type 4 is connected to 1 and 2 so it actually makes a lot of sense. One's variant stacking also has an effect I believe.
However, if I remember the enneagram works on the belief that how one's environment, one's upbringing, and the manner one's parents treated them leads to the " selection" of a motive or paradigm. For example in fours that motive, I believe, is the need to be original,special, and to have those characteristics recognised. If my understanding of Jung is right, he believed the construction of a hierarchy of functions was a wound on the psyche; I guess the enneagram system does work on a similar concept to Jung's work.
Please forgive me if I am wrong about the wound to the psyche bit
