View Full Version : check out the Enneagram
This is a great test. It tells you insights about your personality, and helps you realise things that might help you deal with life and whatnot.
It's an Enneagram test. My mom shows it to her college students, and they usually like it. There's all kinds of links on the net about it, but here's 2 I know of that have the test. It's free, ofcourse. I'm not sure where there's more information about the types of people, but there's a little at the end of this test:

(that one was good. i just took it, knowing what my number already is. -It was right.lol
I think there's links afterwards too, that might have more descriptions.
this is another test, but it's different. I didn't take it:

heavenly_1970 7-30-01, 11:10 PM I added this to my favs & will try it later. Thanks Vilji <img src="smile.gif" border="0">
heavenly_1970 7-30-01, 11:54 PM Well, I took the test & it says I am six which is suppose to mean that I am a loyal friend...amongst other things...but I think it pretty much got me right. <img src="smile.gif" border="0">
cool! that's great that you tried it <img src="smile.gif" border="0">
a 6...there's a tape we have that sums up the numbers in short descriptions. so, (it's ok, be honest, i won't tell..lol) (we're both blonde.)(haha)
are you by any chance paranoid? i mean, feeling like there's something/someone out to get you?
more than the rest of us feel, i mean..haha
the enneagrams point out our positive sides, but also where our fears lie, etc. it was right on with me.
ImSoooSure 7-31-01, 05:40 AM That was cool. I'm a seven. It pretty much got me right. I'll do the other test later too. Those are fun. <img src="smile.gif" border="0">
Roemello 7-31-01, 06:27 AM I scored a 9...meaning I live in harmony with the world and pretty much help others do the same. I guess that's true in a way <img src="smile.gif" border="0">
Roem, they call 9's the 'peacemakers'. my brother is a 9, and he wanted to be a lawyer to help people (not where the money is..)lol.
he never gets angry at anyone.
whoever takes the test, be sure to answer the questions with how you truly are now, not what you're aspiring to be like.
much more accurate.
What's wrong with me? I scored equally as a 2, 8 and 9.lol
They basically told me to choose one. <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">
oh, that's frustrating.
you're definitely not an 8. 'the boss'. you don't like being like that, from what i can tell.
i've seen much better tests for this, but not online.
2's are the helpers. they're only really happy helping out with problems and such.
i'd say, try it again. (if you want to <img src="smile.gif" border="0">
that surprised me.
they say everyone is definitely one of the 9 numbers.
i'm curious what yours would be..
Thanks Vilji, that was cool! I took it yesterday, I am a 4. (just barely edged out 5)
I love personality tests. It's fun to see how your answers change over time, as you develop as a person. On the Keirsey/Myers-Briggs scale, I used to be an INFP (http://typelogic.com/infp.html), but now I'm an INFJ (http://typelogic.com/infj.html).

Naah. I hate failing the same test twice.lol <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">
you can fail an enneagram test about as easy as you can fail an astrology test.
bogie's either not in the mood, or he doesn't like that one..<img src="tongue.gif" border="0">
Mary, 4's they say are the 'artists'.
they like dealing with their pain and such..
i'm (7) the opposite. I can't stand thinking of it, and don't want to face it. lol. they say some numbers can help one another deal with fears. i was married to a 4.

i wish i could find sites with more descriptons of the numbers. they get Real indepth and it's fun hearing about yourself so personal. each number is so different.
i'm a 7 too! haha
no wonder we click so well

Viliji , my friend, my sister. Guess what I scored? HMMMMMM?? I bet you will never guess it? http://www.plauder-smilies.de/happy/roflmao.gif
I scored a 8 !!
But I think you told me that once?
8 is the boss!
remember Milani, we were at my house listening to the enneagram tapes. you scored an 8 already, and it said you like being in charge, and Hate people telling you what to do? and you can be a bit...i dont want to say, 'antagonistic' but you don't shy away from a fight..lol
Milani would be a great bodyguard.
<img src="tongue.gif" border="0">
I would?
The problem is i don't want to fight anymore, can a girl change her number?
I want to be the shy girl in the corner that doesn't have a huge mouth and shys away from a fight. Instead the Rambo comes http://www.plauder-smilies.de/rough/2ar15smilie.gif out in me when there is an ass hole in the room.
ImSoooSure 8-01-01, 04:42 AM Hey Vilji, I'm not surprised one bit that we both got 7s. If I find a site with more info on it I'll let you know. <img src="smile.gif" border="0">
Hmm....I always take such test twice because your answers can depend a lot on your mood.... and now I wish I hadn't because I'm having an identity crisis! *lol* <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">
For my first attempt I was a definite 6, but the second attempt had me as a 2 and a 7. Think the latter is more correct though as I'm aways in a head vs heart conflict <img src="smile.gif" border="0">
nolanbuc 8-01-01, 10:48 AM I'm not sure about all of the results, but some of mine were so dead-on it was scary! <img src="eek.gif" border="0">
I came out as a "5" and after reading the description, it sounds pretty realistic. Here is what is said:
Seeking control over their lives, Fives seek to increase their competency by withdrawing into their minds to gain knowledge. Fives tend to live in the mental world of ideas rather than in the outside world. They are good at creating systems, but their need to be in control makes it difficult for them to work within systems. They tend to work better outside the system than within it. At their best, Fives understand things more deeply than other people and advance science and human knowledge by sharing their insights. Stephen Hawking is an excellent example of a Five at his best. Although wheelchair-bound and almost completely paralyzed, Hawking lives in his mind, exploring the secrets of the universe.
that's great Shakey!
5's are definitely the thinkers. i'm too emotional to step back and see things logically most times, but 5's are good at that.
