No surprises here

It was a fellow 8 who first introduced me to the Enneagram. Together, we're dangerous!

Your Score: 8 - the Asserter

Thanks for taking the test !

you chose AY - your Enneagram type is EIGHT (aka "The Challenger").

"I must be strong"

Asserters are direct, self-reliant, self-confident, and protective.

How to Get Along with Me

• Stand up for yourself... and me.



• Be confident, strong, and direct.



• Don't gossip about me or betray my trust.



• Be vulnerable and share your feelings. See and acknowledge my tender,
  vulnerable side.



• Give me space to be alone.



• Acknowledge the contributions I make, but don't flatter me.



• I often speak in an assertive way. Don't automatically assume it's
  a personal attack.



• When I scream, curse, and stomp around, try to remember that's just
  the way I am.

What I Like About Being a EIGHT

• being independent and self-reliant



• being able to take charge and meet challenges head on



• being courageous, straightforward, and honest



• getting all the enjoyment I can out of life



• supporting, empowering, and protecting those close to me



• upholding just causes

What's Hard About Being a EIGHT

• overwhelming people with my bluntness; scaring them away when I don't intend to



• being restless and impatient with others' incompetence



• sticking my neck out for people and receiving no appreciation for it
  



• never forgetting injuries or injustices



• putting too much pressure on myself



• getting high blood pressure when people don't obey the rules or when
  things don't go right

EIGHTs as Children Often

• are independent; have an inner strength and a fighting spirit



• are sometimes loners



• seize control so they won't be controlled



• fugure out others' weaknesses



• attack verbally or physically when provoked



• take charge in the family because they perceive themselves as the strongest, or grow up in difficult or abusive surroundings

EIGHTs as Parents

• are often loyal, caring, involved, and devoted



• are sometimes overprotective



• can be demanding, controlling, and rigid

I've never heard of this before. Apparently I'm a Five (an observer). It wasn't too far wrong actually. I nearly chose an answer that would have turned me into an achiever, which I obviously am not, so I must have got it right.

Obviously, you're assertive. I could have told you that without you wasting time doing the test!

[girlyswot.livejournal.com]

But the whole point of doing the test is to waste time. *grins*

[tdu000.livejournal.com]

Of course it is but I was under the impression that you have rather a lot of work to get through in the next two weeks. I don't so I have plenty of time to waste.

Oh, well in that case you should go here: http://www.bored.com/boomshine/

I'm not prepared to admit how much time I've wasted there in the last day or two. It's addictive but also oddly soothing in a way that computer games rarely are. Just click and see.

I'll bear that in mind!

Boomshine was fun, though a bit frustrating. After three 54s on level 12 I decided to leave it. I had finshed once already... :P

[peverell.livejournal.com]

Very interesting. My first came out a 4, but then I could have been an 8. There are aspects of both in me. :)

I turned out to be a Seven... dear little Pollyanna that I am. Not only an incurable optimist but determined to tell everyone.
