> Hi. I have recently taken a 180 question enneagram test ( Sisters of Mercy ) and came up with numbers 2, 3, 1 and 7 scoring quite high. I have recently tried the test on this site very spontaneously and got different results from the S.O.M. test and from each other as well !!
> First try here I scored significantly high innumbers 5, 3, and 7. Then 4, 5, 9 and 3. What gives ? I do find that the more self analysis/development I suss out the more confused and uncertain about anything I become. I can identify with any of the personality types in/with given situations, places, things and people.
> I find I am the last person to ask for an accurate assessment of myself. An old study of social class suggested that subjective/objective assessments of people and their lots are almost garaunteed to be poles apart. HELP !!
> I am a South Australian ( Adelaide ) hoping to find support, contacts, friendship to chat about these matters. It is a rare thing indeed for me to ask for help so maybe my original assessment of a 2 was fair enough !
> Can write through e-mail no worries. flip_77@hotmail.com
Motivation, what is your motivation? Why do you do things you do you and in those particular ways? It helped me to solve the problem. 2 & 9 are what I think first when talking about "identifying with most". The way of identification is way different, but in essence both do that.
