The ENNEAGRAM is a personality system thing that uses 9 NUMBERED TYPES! Learning about it has enriched my life a lot, so I want to share it with people.
Each of the 9 types has its own characteristics, but it'd take too long to describe them here.
They come in three clumps: - (8, 9, 1) are 'guts' types; - (2, 3, 4) are 'heart' types; - (5, 6, 7) are 'mind' types. EACH PERSON HAS THREE TYPES - one from each group - ordered by their importance.
Furthermore, each type is 'flavoured' by an adjacent type called a WING. For example, type 1 comes in two variations; 1w2 (1 with a 2 wing), and 1w9.
The end result is something like 1w9-4w5-6w7. That'd mean that person was mostly defined by 9-flavoured type 1, but they'd also have aspects of a 5-flavoured type 4 and a 7-flavoured type 6.
I, uh, suppose it's FAIRLY COMPLICATED! o_O
You can get an idea of your primary type here: [link] (Scroll down to the questions!) Or your 'tritype' here: [link] And you can read about each type in more detail here: [link]
I hope at least one person gets something out of this!! I'd love to hear what types people got from those tests and stuff! Or which ones they can most relate to.
I'm 4w5-5w4-9w1 myself, and understanding this has explained so very, very much about myself, my behaviour, and my life as a whole.
The tests give only a vague idea at best. Many other factors come into play that the tests just can't account for. They do seem to work for most people though.
You're supposed to get an evaluation from a professional, or self-evaluate by looking into the theory. Most online tests are going to be innacurate and just for fun.
