Restored: Enneagram Personality Types

Dinny wrote:StarFireSong, Lilith, I totally see you as those results. SFS, it looks like your types shifted a bit, but helpfulness and calmness seem to be your primary types nevertheless. I wasn't expecting you to score that high on "detachment", though.

Maybe an Aquarius moon afterall... Just kidding.

The questions for detachment and calmness might've been similar though. I took the second test and they were annoyingly repetitive. I felt like I was answering the same five questions throughout.

When I took it (only once though) I got:
Type 1 Perfectionism 45%
Type 2 Helpfulness 44%
Type 3 Image Focus 62%
Type 4 Hypersensitivity 41%
Type 5 Detachment 64%
Type 6 Anxiety 48%
Type 7 Adventurousness 62%
Type 8 Aggressiveness 35%
Type 9 Calmness 70%

Sounds aqua style.

LOL! I suppose this is what happens when someone doesn't work for 1+ years, heh. In any case, I don't get attached to people/things/situations that easily, which probably explains why you were surprised at my scores for detachment. *shrugs* Or blame my sidereal Aqua moon!

(A longwinded version of me saying "Beats me!". )

Eh, I don't either.

Not surprising that 5 is the highest for me...

5. The thinker - The withdrawn power-seeker.

"Nothing interferes with my concentration. You could put on an orgy in my office and I wouldn't look up. Well, maybe once." - Isaac Asimov

5s identify more strongly with their thoughts than any other personality. To others, 5s are known for their sharp intellect, strong need for independence and privacy, and intensity of their cerebral interests. 5s are intensely interested in explaining the world and predicting what it will do next. This derives partly from scientific curiosity, and partly because they sense much of the world to be hostile and unreliable, requiring that they use their minds to defend against its threats. The 5 is the prototypical scientist "type", although not all 5s are scientists, and not all scientists are 5s. Whatever their profession, 5s bring a strong desire to investigate, observe, and understand an issue deeply and provocatively. Fives are unusually independent and self-motivated, with a strong need for privacy, and others sometimes have no idea what the five is working on until it is finished and unveiled. Some of the greatest minds in history were fives whose ideas challenged the conventional wisdom, forcing those around them to think differently.

Unfortunately, the average 5's independence often leads to social isolation, and the 5's need for intellectual control can also be off-putting to others. Many 5s develop a cynical worldview, which sharpens their perceptions but also intensifies their isolation. Their independence makes their thinking very idiosyncratic, leading to either brilliance or weirdness, or both. As with all the types, healthy 5s can transcend this pitfall of their personality, and 5s that do make this effort can become as brilliant in their social understanding as in anything else.

Famous 5s: William Rhenquist, Stephen Hawking, Francis Crick, Helen Keller, Wittgenstein, Arthur C. Clarke
Famous 5w4s: Sigmund Freud, Nikola Tesla
Famous 5w6s: Charles Darwin, Frederich Nietzsche, David Lynch, Isaac Newton

Comparisons with other types: See 1.

^ Definitely you. Sharing a type with Nikola Tesla? That's badass.

I took it again as I couldn't remember what I got the first time. Here are the results:


Type 1 Perfectionism |||||||||||||| 51%
Type 2 Helpfulness |||||||||| 37%
Type 3 Image Focus |||||||||||||| 60%
Type 4 Hypersensitivity |||||||||||||| 57%
Type 5 Detachment |||||||||||||| 54%
Type 6 Anxiety |||||||||||||| 51%
Type 7 Adventurousness |||||||||||| 47%
Type 8 Aggressiveness |||||||||||| 42%
Type 9 Calmness |||||||||||||| 52%

I guess that makes a 3w4?
