Where are you on the enneagram?

The enneagram seems to elaborate and draw common ground among people based on their focus. While MBTI has a similar function the idea seems to be more based on cognition.

Both are quite relevant and may show correlation between the types.


Here is the link to the free test for those that are interested. I'm referring to the Classical enneagram test.

When you are done you can find a good description of your type on this site.

For this site just click on the menu in the top left corner to find details about your type.

If you already know your type feel free to share. I already knew my type from years ago and took the above test to verify it's accuracy, it was on point.

My type 5w6. That's five with a 6 wing= problem solver. Accurate in my case.
MBTI was too, I'm an ENTP=visionary/inventor.

Enjoy and don't forget to share your results.

 

6w5. Very accurate. I can see all parts of myself in the summation of 6. Pretty interesting :smt023

 

I am most likely a type 2 (Helper) or 3 (Achiever).

The Caring, Interpersonal Type: Demonstrative, Generous, People-Pleasing, and Possessive

The Success-Oriented, Pragmatic Type: Adaptive, Excelling, Driven, and Image-Conscious

Taking wings into account, I seem to be a 2w3 or 3w2.

I would say this is fairly accurate. I took a test like this years ago, very interesting indeed.

 

6 was my result. Leaning a bit towards 4,too

I actually can see both of them in me.

 

Type 2 (Helper) with 3 wing

 

You are most likely a type 1.

Taking wings into account, you seem to be a 1w9.

Enneagram Type 1 - The Reformer

Perfectionists, responsible, fixated on improvement
---------------------------------------------------
Enneagram type 1 - The Reformer

People of this personality type are essentially looking to make things better, as they think nothing is ever quite good enough. This makes them perfectionists who desire to reform and improve; idealists who strive to make order out of the omnipresent chaos.

Ones have a fine eye for detail. They are always aware of the flaws in themselves, others and the situations in which they find themselves. This triggers their need to improve, which can be beneficial for all concerned, but which can also prove to be burdensome to both the One and those who are on the receiving end of the One's reform efforts.

The One's inability to achieve the perfection they desire feeds their feelings of guilt for having fallen short, and fuels their incipient anger against an imperfect world. Ones, however, tend to feel guilty about their anger. Anger is a "bad" emotion, and Ones strive sincerely and wholeheartedly to be "good." Anger is therefore vigorously repressed from consciousness, bursting forth in occasional fits of temper, but usually manifesting in one of its many less obvious permutations - impatience, frustration, annoyance and judgmental criticality. For this reason, Ones can be difficult to live with, but, on the high side, they tend to be loyal, responsible and capable partners and friends.

Ones are serious people; they tend to be highly principled, competent and uncompromising. They follow the rules and expect others to do so as well. Because they believe so thoroughly in their convictions, they are often excellent leaders who can inspire those who follow them with their own vision of excellence. Reform movements are frequently spearheaded by Ones.

Ones are often driven and ambitious, and are sometimes workaholics. But whatever their professional involvement, they are definitely active, practical people who get things done. They are natural born organizers, listmakers who finish everything on the list, the last one to leave the office, the first one to return, industrious, reliable, honest and dutiful.

The relentlessness of their pursuit of the ideal can make Ones tense people who have a hard time relaxing and who unnecessarily deny themselves many of the harmless pleasures of life. They tend to be emotionally repressed and uncomfortable with expressing tender feelings; they generally see emotionality as a sign of weakness and lack of control. They are seldom spontaneous. They have multiple interests and talents however; they are self-reliant and seldom run out of things to do.

Ones are often intelligent and independent and can easily mistake themselves for Fives, but unlike Fives, Ones are primarily people of action, not thought. Ones tend to worry and are prone to anxiety and can sometimes mistype as Sixes, but they are far less affiliative than Sixes and their standards are not reached by seeking consensus with a group. Finally, the relentless pursuit of perfection can take its toll and lead to depression. At such times, a One can mistype as a Four. But Fours have a tendency towards self-indulgence whereas Ones are self-denying. Fours are emotionally expressive; Ones are emotionally constrained.

 

Type 2 wing 1

Not really accurate.... I fall into pretty much every category depending on my mood and situation.
