Exhortation Is Not = Mercy

A few months ago, I completed Riso’s book called /enneagram-personality-types/ . I never understood why I scored very low as Type2-Helper during the personality test. In fact, I scored the lowest. Just go to the entry that I mentioned to fully understand personality types. There is also a spreadsheet notes that I collected that you can download for your own use.
Yesterday, a level 1.8 friend told me something that really bothered me. The conversation was just so passing because I have to attend to another urgent task. This person told me about “the crying in the bathroom at work”. When I got home last night, I sat in front of my computer and contemplate and then look up DSM-5 and see what I missed on this person [I was just curious]. This person looked happy, sweet, soft spoken, gentle, knows boundary a lot, normal, content, lively, full of smile, loves to work, very hardworking, always doing something for work, comes to work on time, has a lot of friends, has a nice job, has a fiancée and waiting to be married soon. From my perspective, has a GAF Score of 90 [GAF info here] .
This morning, I found the answer why I am not Type-2. http://www.spiritualgiftstest.com/spiritual-gifts
Exhortation
For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. 4For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, 5so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. 6Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; 7if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; 8the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads, with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.
