: : Often the enneagram is presented as collection of nasty inclination you'd better start CHANGING. My view is that you'd better try to define a good personal habitat for your emotional needs rather than desperately trying to change your behavior in opposite direction of what your emotions urge you to do. : Gigi> Emotions are the driving force behind actions. Therefore, one needs to be aware of emotions and direct them accordingly. One cannot make excuses of emotional condition for the behavior. As a result, instead of succumbing to any emotion which comes up (for example, "I feel lonely and need attention") it would be a good idea to take charge. : : Ok, now here's the quiz. The assignment is: provide the corresponding E-type with the 9 talents. Give it a try! : Gigi> As I have replied to your first Analysis I do not think that we should type with those short descriptions. You might have a certain person in your mind whom you have met, but we have not had the chance to communicate with her/him. How can you expect us to guess? It was the same with the other two analyses you posted down below. You had people in your mind. The first one was you definitely with your picture, but still I assumed I only had the written information you gave us. Even if it sounded like 1w9 I still insist that it can be a 3, 6, 8, or 9. The second one sounded like 6, but again I ask the question to you: : What are you trying to do? If you need help in pinpointing types with the information you have we are ready to help. But I don't think you want our help. In that case this is a futile game. : As Andy also wrote now and before, we cannot type people like this, even just for fun. We type our fellow posters now and then when asked, only when they have posted long enough for us to get a feeling of that person. Still it is only a guess. : The Enneagram is about motivations, not traits, as *everybody* knows. Your first Analysis proved this for me again very clearly: I do all those things in your description and I am a 3. (It is so funny also that you choose the winner! Because you have a certain person in your mind.) : Please let us play other Enneagram games. : As for the talents below you know what? E7 is multi-talented, so a healthy E7 can display all of those traits. Especially one connected to healthy E1 and healthy E5. I know a person like that. What do you say? : Gigi : P.S. I want to add here that I enjoy posting on your site. : : Please : : talent a: very creative, the idea's person : : talent b: extrovert, good at making outside contacts and exploring idea's : : talent c: shrewd and prudent, analytical and serious : : talend d: dynamic and challenging: project leader : : talent e: respected, mature and good at ensuring that talents are used; social leader : : : : talent f: practical, task oriented do-er : : talent g: meticulous and with attention to detail also full of nervous energy and talkative; prevents accidents : : talent h: caring and very person oriented, makes teammembers feel relaxed : : talent i: high technical or content skills and professional as opposed to organisational loyalties : : : : Jan
