Probabilities for Your Type:
One of these three types
is most probably your type 1, 2, 9
These types have a lower
probability of being your type 5, 6, 7
These types have a low
probability of being your type 3, 4, 8 |
But, I mean...two questions of three options? Not a very probing test, is it? |

It's a free sampler test. |

I'm a big, big fan of the Enneagram.
My sisters and mother have studied it in some depth, and when we're discussing people's behaviour, we sometimes use people's "numbers" to abbreviate, like "Oh, that is so 1," and "Well, he IS an eight."
It's been a great help to me in two ways.
1) It's helped me look at some of the compulsive things I do. I instinctively react in a "2" way, and that's not always the best choice. Of course, there's a lot of great things about being a 2, but the mistake I make is over-generalizing, and trying to use my strength in the wrong way.
2) It's helped me to see things from others' perspective, and understand their priorities and motivations. Everyone has their own strengths and compulsions, and I feel more sympathetic toward others when I know a bit about *why* they screw up. |

Type Four
The Individualist
The introspective, romantic type. Fours are self-aware, sensitive, and reserved. They are emotionally honest, creative, and personal, but can also be moody and self-conscious. Withholding themselves from others due to feeling vulnerable and defective, they can also feel disdainful and exempt from ordinary ways of living. They typically have problems with melancholy, self-indulgence, and self-pity. At their Best: inspired and highly creative, they are able to renew themselves and transform their experiences. |
That was strangely accurate for a 36 question test!? Maybe it was because I was listening to REM while taking the test.  Wait, maybe I was listening to REM because I'm a type 4 ?!! |

Nonsense! Hoo-ha! Bilge!
That sucking noise you hear is people's wallets being emptied.
I guess Riso and Hudson didn't get in on the Scientology or NLP gravy trains quick enough. Or just decided they wanted their own. |

Oh, it's not nearly as well organized or expensive as Scientology (verily, what is?) but it does get a bit kooky if you follow Gurdjieff's suggested methods (which involved literally moving around the design drawn on the floor.) My mother stopped going to classes and workshops when they started to resemble self-worship (she's a Christian) but it's still useful stuff.
Also, Woland, what's NLP? (Never mind, I just found a Wikipedia article on it.)
Everybody's got their hang-ups, fears, drives, etc., and it's not outrageous to imagine that they fall into some broad categories. I'm not sure why the Enneagram design describes the connections between these types so neatly, and I don't really care. I'm not interested in the spiritual implications, but the psychological ones are intriguing.
Don't let the fancy-schmancy new-agers put you off, Woland. You can learn this stuff for free at your local library (and it didn't start with Riso and Hudson) so it's not all a cash grab. Dig, brother?

But in the end this is like astrology and other such things, no?
People want to belong, they want to find groups with which to associate themselves so they are willing to deny and/or ignore the more subtle and distinct elements of their personalities in order to do so. I mean, sure, there are commonalities among humans--there are many that are universal to all cultures.
But to suggest a typology of such limited scope is to humble the grandeur of human diversity, n'est-ce pas?
Discuss. |

I'm a 2 with a 3 wing.
I've been into the Enneagram since my very first Summer Internship at a counseling center back in '91. There is a lot of interesting stuff in there. I think it's cool to examine how the Enneagram & Myers Briggs both can work together in exploring inner space. I'm such a psychonaut, I know I am!
Gurgieff was one interesting cat. There are Sufi elements and the history of it is fascinating, really! Remember, it's only a tool~ nothing more. |
