to be happy
I'm not sure why, but I really like the Enneagram personality test. I think part of it is that I pronounce it so that it rhymes with "Linneagram." Plus, I like the way it phrases things "I must be perfect and good to be happy." It's nice to know what I need to do to be happy. Too bad it's impossible. So last January when I took the test I was a 1, but now I am a 3. I feel this is a step up. I am now dependent on people rather than ideals. I don't need to be perfect, I just need impress my professors.
type--score--type behavior motivation
3 59 I must be impressive and attractive to be happy.
6 49 I must be secure and safe to be happy.
8 48 I must be strong and in control to be happy.
1 47 I must be perfect and good to be happy.
9 38 I must be peaceful and easy to get along with to be happy.
7 27 I must be high and entertained to be happy.
4 26 I must avoid painful feelings to be happy.
5 19 I must be knowledgable and independent to be happy.
2 18 I must be helpful and caring to be happy.

Some explanation: Your main type is which ever behavior you utilize most and/or prefer. Your variant reflects your scoring profile on all nine types: so = social variant (compliant, friendly), sx = sexual variant (assertive, intense), sp = self preservation variant (withdrawn, security seeking).

Posted by linnea at December 28, 2006 11:03 PMOkay, after wandering about the site taking all the wrong tests, I finally got one that revealed the following: I am a number 3. I must be attractive and impressive in order to be happy. My dominant variant is self-preservation. That is what I get for being a clingy dependent introvert. But as long as you think I am okay, then I don't really care.
