Tests

Someone reminded me of the Enneagram test just recently and I decided to look up an online test to know my type. But I ended up taking more than one test. Here are the results.


Main Type
Overall Self

Ha Ha!! At this time... I'm really all out on self preservation...What in the light of all that is happening around us? Better safe than sorry. :) Actually, I'm confused. HOw could I be self-preserving-avoidant and a helper at the same time? Is there such a thing? But given that I am neither compliant nor assertive .... I guess this must be the best way to go. Status Quo. I must have confused the computer as well. Har! Har! Har!

So, what does these mean? I went to www.9types.com and found these...


Baron and Wagele - Enneagram Made Easy

The Helper (the Two)

Helpers are warm, concerned, nurturing, and sensitive to other people's needs.
How to Get Along with Me
Tell me that you appreciate me. Be specific.
Share fun times with me.
Take an interest in my problems, though I will probably try to focus on yours.
Let me know that I am important and special to you.
Be gentle if you decide to criticize me.

In Intimate Relationships

Reassure me that I am intersting to you.
Reassure me often that you love me.
Tell me I'm attractive and that you're glad to be seen with me.

What I Like About Being a Two

being able to relate easily to people and to make friends
knowing what people need and being able to make their lives better
being generous, caring, and warm
being sensitive to and perceptive about others' feelings
being enthusiastic and fun-loving, and having a good sense of humor

What's Hard About Being a Two

not being able to say no
having low self-esteem
feeling drained from overdoing for others
not doing things I really like to do for myself for fear of being selfish
criticizing myself for not feeling as loving as I think I should
being upset that others don't tune in to me as much as I tume in to them
working so hard to be tactful and considerate that I suppress my real feelings

Renee Baron & Elizabeth Wagele

Here's more.... At least this one I can relate to.

ENFP - "Journalist". Uncanny sense of the motivations of others. Life is an exciting drama. 8.1% of total population.

And look at this one - I took it because locus of control is one factor to determine a person's optimism ( remember this is supposed to be the topic of my thesis). Internal locus of control being the backbone of optimism. But look at what I have...

Locus of Control Test Results
Internal Locus (49%) Individual believes that their life is defined more by their decisions and internal drive.
External Locus (51%) Individual believes that their life is defined more by genetics, environment, fate, or other external factors.

Your results suggest you believe your life is defined about equally by both internal forces (drive, free will, etc.) and external forces (genetics, environment, fate).

Thus, you have an Ambiverted Locus of Control

See! Even here, I'm either ambivalent or inverted. Or is that what they meant? Gosh!

And to summarize....

Global Personality Test Results
Stability (46%) medium which suggests you average somewhere in between being calm and resilient and being anxious and reactive.
Orderliness (53%) medium which suggests you are moderately organized, hard working, and reliable while still remaining flexible, efficient, and fun.
Extraversion (66%) moderately high which suggests you are, at times, overly talkative, outgoing, sociable and interacting at the expense of developing your own individual interests and internally based identity.

Are these true to me too? I'd have to say I would like to contest half of it. But it's not to say it's the tests' fault. I don't know... I guess my evolution is so fast I could be anybody at any given time... :)

I fear for other people.
