Hey, I love enneagram too! I don't know anything about it though. XD Which is funny, since I just took that test you linked and it says that I'm:

Type 7- the Enthusiast.

"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.

Basic Fear: Of being deprived and in pain
Basic Desire: To be satisfied and content—to have their needs fulfilled
Enneagram Seven with a Six-Wing: "The Entertainer"
Enneagram Seven with an Eight-Wing: "The Realist"

Key Motivations: Want to maintain their freedom and happiness, to avoid missing out on worthwhile experiences, to keep themselves excited and occupied, to avoid and discharge pain."

That sounds an awful lot like me! I think I have more of an 8-wing, because I have gotten 8 as my number in the past and this doesn't make mention of my, uh, more Ariean tendencies. :p

You haven't taken the Myers-Briggs test have you? You might like it!

ah, type seven. I seem to know a lot of them, my best friend was a seven. :)
you must be a hella lot of fun to be around then,because all seven kinda carry this air of adventure.

as for the myers briggs test, I think I probably have in the past. I remember doing some sort of test in psychology and I got back a whole package worth of it describing what kind of person I am, down to work related situations. I love personality tests...

Type 2- The Helper

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.

Basic Fear: Of being unwanted, unworthy of being loved
Basic Desire: To feel loved
Enneagram Two with a One-Wing: "Servant"
Enneagram Two with a Three-Wing: "The Host/Hostess"
Key Motivations: Want to be loved, to express their feelings for others, to be needed and appreciated, to get others to respond to them, to vindicate their claims about themselves.


i was close to being a 7 as well but i do agree with this to an extent ...lol all of its true of course but thats not "all" ya know? some of the answers to those questions i could of easily put both answers, you are a polarity you know, their kinda like trick questions lol..but im switching into the darkside now o0o0o0o0o time to not give a shit lol...its my time to go to my lesser experiance, making room for the higher experiance...see you on the other side ;)


as for correlating with my zodiac sign, virgo, the helper hit the nail on the head lol

oooh laday I'll send you much lovings! ;)
Sometimes you gotta read into the types to know what you really are if you are close to being another one. I recommend signing up and reading the full synopsis of your type. I also own the book and it gives a lot more detail. It gives it down to even what you're likely to be addicted to and such. But yes, two...such a loving two.

"The wisdom of the Enneagram"
I got it at borders, but I bet you can get it for cheap on amazon.com ;) it's truly a wonderful tool, and it goes into how the enneagram works and its origins.

Awesome!! I knew we had a lot in common!! This really explains me:

Being generous and going out of their way for others makes Twos feel that theirs is the richest, most meaningful way to live. The love and concern they feel—and the genuine good they do—warms their hearts and makes them feel worthwhile. Twos are most interested in what they feel to be the “really, really good” things in life—love, closeness, sharing, family, and friendship.

When Twos are healthy and in balance, they really are loving, helpful, generous, and considerate. People are drawn to them like bees to honey. Healthy Twos warm others in the glow of their hearts. They enliven others with their appreciation and attention, helping people to see positive qualities in themselves that they had not previously recognized. In short, healthy Twos are the embodiment of “the good parent” that everyone wishes they had: someone who sees them as they are, understands them with immense compassion, helps and encourages with infinite patience, and is always willing to lend a hand—while knowing precisely how and when to let go. Healthy Twos open our hearts because theirs are already so open and they show us the way to be more deeply and richly human.

Crazy stuff!! I've never had a personality test come so close.

dude i'm telling you it's spot on! I love the enneagram, it tells you how to grow and why you do the stuff you dooo...and yeah, I love it. It's also cool if you know other peoples types, because some types get along better than others. When I read the friendship between my friend, who's a four, and I, it was creepy how well it explained our dynamic.

Dude, OMG. I was one off of being a seven!! Crazy.

Seven actually really describes me, too. Seeing the world like "a kid in a candy store." Ha... me exactly.
