Hey I'm so very social and have cool guy status cause i pretend that I kill people when we play pick up games in sandlot football. It scares people and even every once in a while a meaner guy comes out and puts me in my place. This is how I manage my feelings sometimes or I just take out one of my assault rifles and fire off 200 rounds at the range, where I'm also one of the range officer. Most of the guys and some gals there are sixes (retired military and NRA gun freaks)I believe but when I'm on range they seem to listen more to me than the others cause I have a deep voice with a commanding persona I guess. It's just the way I've grown up you know being a foreman for my landscaping job and always one of the first to be put in charge or the guy who always deposits the bank bag and security related issues. I have a six five friend I believe who enjoys talking about life and his wacko theories about the state of the world almost all the time. I try to be nice and act like I'm listening cause he is kinda dumb, but sometimes I try to straighten his ideas out for him in which he gets offended. Ahhhhh, so whats new with your life now?
: :Most of my friends are 5s iroinically. Im a 4. They know what the enneagram means but try and tell a 1 or a 3 about the enneagram they think its just a bunch of mushy stuff with no real practical meaning.
: --Have you ever attended to an Enneagram lecture or a seminar? I have. It was a lecture and I can tell you there were about 100 people there and of all types, self-typed. The most common types were Six, Nine, One, Seven, Two, Five, Four, Eight, Three. Approximitely in that order, one Three and seven Eights. Interest in the Enneagram or similar systems isn't a type-related issue, it's an individual thing.
