Enneagrams - Hmmmm?

[Rani]

I love those dumb little tests that you find everywhere. I like taking them for the fun of it. But I came across Enneagrams, and it seems some psychologists are putting some faith in them. So I found a free test and took it. Very, very accurate. For me anyway. Pegged me right down as a Type 4 - Individualist/Artist. So anyway for fun, here's the link.

What does it say you are, and is it accurate?

Type 6

Sort of right on, I am really protective.

Says I need to work on Physical and Mental health... I agree.. but how did it know?

[Cp44]

It says I'm a type 8 Aggressiveness.

Your main type is [b]Type 8[/b]
Your variant stacking is [b]sx/sp/so[/b]
Your level of health is [b]average[/b]

I would say its pretty accurate.

Mine said I was aggressive. I really don't think I'm aggressive or impatient, it's just that I have a low tolerance for bullshit hahaha

I'm apparently extremely unhealthy...maybe mentally I would agree, but physically? Not even close, and I'm also really aggressive apparently. hmm.

Type 9 - Maintain peace/calm.

I'd say it's pretty accurate, although I think some of the survey was a bit vague and "agree - disagree" type responses only scratch the surface of the more open-ended statements.

[TheScotsman]

Type 8 with a strong type five following only a point below.

Your main type is [b]Type 8[/b]
Your variant stacking is [b]sx/sp/so[/b]
Your level of health is [b]average[/b]

I think I just got called a control freak-perfectionist that has to learn everything I can about everything, and is pretty much a non-stop aggressive jerk I'd be insulted if it weren't about what I expected.

I think I might be almost nate... or he is almost me
