Ok so I'm fascinated by human behaviour. I like to read about personality theories and observe people ... and the more I learn, the more I seem to be able to appreciate myself and others for the way they are and the way their personality manifests itself to make them unique.

This is a short personality "quiz"/test thingy which will tell you what your Enneagram personality type (probably) is. You might learn something new about yourself. (:

Pick the second test here:
EDIT: I REPEAT. PICK THE SECOND TEST. IT IS NOT 14 PAGES. DO NOT BE SCARED OFF BY REZZ'S POST. OK THAT'S ALL. =D

For example, I just did that test and got this:

You are most likely a type 4 (the Individualist) with 5 wing

Self-preservation variant

So post up your result, and I'll give a link about your type. (:

I was gonna do it, but I'm too lazy for 14 pages lol

I love psychology and related matters as well. Happy

I'm a 5. I took it not a long time ago and saved the particular link. There are ones to each individual type as well:

Well the way the theory works is that you have your main type (which you have said is a Five), and a "wing", which will be one of the numbers to either side of your type. So you would be either a Five with a Four wing (5w4), or a Five with a Six wing (5w6).

I thought I was a 5w4 until the last couple of days. Now I think I'm 4w5. My interests seem to lean more toward the Five, but my moods and motivations to get things done seem far more consistent with the Four. Also, the need to define myself and express myself seems far more Four-ish. My intellectual motivation is only consistent with my shifting of moods, which I think suggests closer to Four, too.

There is a lot more to the theory which I could discuss in PMs with you, if you are interested in exploring it, and maybe we can understand it better together discussing ideas.

Thanks for the link, I'm reading through it now.

I'll also PM you the chapter I typed up about the Five from a book I bought. (:

Sexual variant:
People of the sexual variant are very much interested in one to one contacts. They are looking for intimacy and this may show in sexuality, though not necessarily. Being in a relationship is very important to them. They are the most passionate of the subtypes, being temperamental and having more energy. They have less of a problem with getting into a fight and care less about rules and responsibility.

Interesting. =|

I'd not expect Four to be common, and I would not pick Kiya as a Four. I don't know Rose well enough to guess. =|

How do you both find the descriptions?

You both got the same type as me, btw. =|

Oh and Lil' Washu and chrissy.mayer, how did you find the descriptions?

My top three possibilities:

1) type 3 with 2 wing social variant
2) type 2 ..... sexual variant
3) type 7 ..... social variant

Didn't get to read about them, I will later and figure out which one is closest to me.
