Proper good personality test…

general_2

Everyone loves a good personality test don’t they? It’s always so enlightening and revealing to read about yourself.  SOOOO boring to read other peoples results though!  I recommend this great Enneargram Type Test which you can do online in a few minutes.  Click here. There are 9 possible personality results; 1 The Reformer, 2 The Helper, 3 The Achiever, 4 The Individualist, 5 The Investigator, 6 The Loyalist, 7 The Enthusiast, 8 The Challenger and 9 The Peacemaker. Do you let me know if you think your results are accurate.

Marty and I took the test. Marty scored as 2 The Helper and here is what is says about him…

The caring, interpersonal type. Twos are empathetic, sincere, and warm-hearted. They are friendly, generous, and self-sacrificing, but can also be sentimental, flattering, and people-pleasing. They are well-meaning and driven to be close to others, but can slip into doing things for others in order to be needed. They typically have problems with possessiveness and with acknowledging their own needs. At their Best: unselfish and altruistic, they have unconditional love for others.

I couldn’t describe him any better myself! I scored equally as a 4 and 7, the Individualist and The Enthusiast. 

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.

Enthusiast - The busy, productive type. Sevens are extroverted, optimistic, versatile, and spontaneous. Playful, high-spirited, and practical, they can also misapply their many talents, becoming over-extended, scattered, and undisciplined. They constantly seek new and exciting experiences, but can become distracted and exhausted by staying on the go. They typically have problems with impatience and impulsiveness. At their Best: they focus their talents on worthwhile goals, becoming appreciative, joyous, and satisfied.

They both sound like me, although The Enthusiast describes me perfectly. I am full of ideas and talent, but totally scatty and unorganised. I am both introvert and extrovert depending on my mood or the situation. Im always looking for new exciting things to do but can never get myself organised!

Give the test a go yourselves and see how you score.

"the Basic Desire of Sevens is to be satisfied, happy, and fulfilled, and when they are balanced within themselves, their joy and enthusiasm for life naturally affect everyone around them. They remind us of the pure pleasure of existence—the greatest gift of all."
I like the sound of that.
