• Tell me I'm attractive and that you're glad to be seen with me. -->Oh God LMAO :laugh3: :laugh3:

I got a 7 on both

Type 4: The Artist. The intuitive, reserved type.

Type 5: The Thinker. The perceptive, cerebral type.

 

and I got -10 on

Type 3: The Motivator. The adaptable, success-oriented type.

 

and -7 on peacemaker... I love it :wacko: I think these things are rather true, maybe

ohhhhhhhhhhh, it says I'm romantic :cool4:

who is NOT a thinker? :rolleyes: if someone is not a thinker then they're either really stupid or not human. Anyway, I think the romantic stuff fits me perfectly :smug:

Not only thinkers are intelligent.

Also the 6 and 7 are using their intelligence. ;)

 

I'm type 5 (Thinker) and I think ( ;) ) it's true...

read the type descriptions. All is correct ;)

I bet those people that work at drive thru's would get a -12 on thinker :rolleyes:

hahah :) maybe :D

 

i found on the web, that Albert Einstein and Bill Gates are "Thinkers" (Type 5 in the test).

i'm a Type 2 followed by 4 and 8. yeah that's pretty much me :P caring and nurturing, yet a powerful and aggressive leader. :D:D

hahah :) maybe :D

 

i found on the web, that Albert Einstein and Bill Gates are "Thinkers" (Type 5 in the test).

 

Oh really? were they also tested with this questionary?

I think Einstein not, because the enneagram tests were found by Helen Palmer in the 80's.

But Gates was probably tested. :) maybe not with the same questionary - there are more types of the test.

Well I asked just because I don't like the idea of classifying my inteligence... there's loads of different potential and inteligences in us, right? :) I just find quite silly to say Eintein was a thinker or Bill Clinton was... whatever he's classified on that...

it's not a test of your intelligence...

it's a test for your personality !!

Personality then...

Type 1: The Reformer. The rational, idealistic type. 2

Type 2: The Helper. The caring, nurturing type. 0

Type 3: The Motivator. The adaptable, success-oriented type. -2

Type 4: The Artist. The intuitive, reserved type. 8

Type 5: The Thinker. The perceptive, cerebral type. 13

Type 6: The Skeptic. The committed, security-oriented type. -8

Type 7: The Generalist. The enthusiastic, productive type. -3

Type 8: The Leader. The powerful, aggressive type. -9

Type 9: The Peacemaker. The easygoing, accommodating type. -1

 

and, this is so right, haha.

The Observer (the Five)

 

Observers have a need for knowledge and are introverted, curious, analytical, and insightful.

 

How to Get Along with Me

* Be independent, not clingy.

* Speak in a straightforward and brief manner.

* I need time alone to process my feelings and thoughts.

* Remember that If I seem aloof, distant, or arrogant, it may be that I am feeling uncomfortable.

* Make me feel welcome, but not too intensely, or I might doubt your sincerity.

* If I become irritated when I have to repeat things, it may be because it was such an effort to get my thoughts out in the first place.

* don't come on like a bulldozer.

* Help me to avoid my pet peeves: big parties, other people's loud music, overdone emotions, and intrusions on my privacy.

 

What I Like About Being a Five

 

* standing back and viewing life objectively

* coming to a thorough understanding; perceiving causes and effects

* my sense of integrity: doing what I think is right and not being influenced by social pressure

* not being caught up in material possessions and status

* being calm in a crisis

 

What's Hard About Being a Five

 

* being slow to put my knowledge and insights out in the world

* feeling bad when I act defensive or like a know-it-all

* being pressured to be with people when I don't want to be

* watching others with better social skills, but less intelligence or technical skill, do better professionally

 

Fives as Children Often

* spend a lot of time alone reading, making collections, and so on

* have a few special friends rather than many

* are very bright and curious and do well in school

* have independent minds and often question their parents and teachers

* watch events from a detached point of view, gathering information

* assume a poker face in order not to look afraid

* are sensitive; avoid interpersonal conflict

* feel intruded upon and controlled and/or ignored and neglected

 

not that you all care, but whatever.

 

the artistic personality--i don't know how I scored that. the only traits that match me are the negative ones. :(

 

What's Hard About Being a Four

 

* experiencing dark moods of emptiness and despair

* feelings of self-hatred and shame; believing I don't deserve to be loved

* feeling guilty when I disappoint people

* feeling hurt or attacked when someone misunderstands me

* expecting too much from myself and life

* fearing being abandoned

* obsessing over resentments

* longing for what I don't have

 

and i was reading the description of the type 1 (Reformer) personality, and I'm very much so a perfectionist, but I'm lazy at the same time, so I only scored a two in that category, haha.

 

Perfectionists:

# criticize themselves in anticipation of criticism from others

# refrain from doing things that they think might not come out perfect

# focus on living up to the expectations of their parents and teachers

 

 

 

 

 

yeah anyways.... thanks for the test! helps to realize somethings about yourself, heh.

I got

Type 5: The Thinker. The perceptive, cerebral type.-4pts.

Type 7: The Generalist. The enthusiastic, productive type.-4pts.

How to Get Along with Me

• Give me plenty of compliments. They mean a lot to me.
  
• Be a supportive friend or partner. Help me to learn to love and value myself.
  
• Respect me for my special gifts of intuition and vision.
  
• Though I don't always want to be cheered up when I'm feeling melancholy, I sometimes like to have someone lighten me up a little.
  
• Don't tell me I'm too sensitive or that I'm overreacting!
  
• Give me companionship, affection, and freedom.
  
• Engage with me in stimulating conversation and laughter.
  
• Appreciate my grand visions and listen to my stories.
  
• Don't try to change my style. Accept me the way I am.
  
• Be responsible for youself. I dislike clingy or needy people.
  
• Don't tell me what to do.
