The Observer - I need to understand the world
I took one of those silly little online quizzes I got from one of my HSB friend's Xanga blog.
The nice thing was there were only 2 questions. the funny thing is,
with a few exceptions, it captured me quite well.
Here are my results:
the Observer
Test finished!
you chose BZ - your Enneagram type is FIVE.
"I need to understand the world"
Observers have a need for knowledge and are introverted, curious,
analytical, and insightful.
How to Get Along with Me
* Be independent, not clingy.
* Speak in a straightforward and brief manner.
* I need time alone to process my feelings and thoughts.
* Remember that If I seem aloof, distant, or arrogant, it may be that
I am feeling uncomfortable.
* Make me feel welcome, but not too intensely, or I might doubt your
sincerity.
* If I become irritated when I have to repeat things, it may be because
it was such an effort to get my thoughts out in the first place.
* don't come on like a bulldozer.
* Help me to avoid my pet peeves: big parties, other people's loud
music, overdone emotions, and intrusions on my privacy.
What I Like About Being a Five
* standing back and viewing life objectively
* coming to a thorough understanding; perceiving causes and effects
* my sense of integrity: doing what I think is right and not being influenced
by social pressure
* not being caught up in material possessions and status
* being calm in a crisis
What's Hard About Being a Five
* being slow to put my knowledge and insights out in the world
* feeling bad when I act defensive or like a know-it-all
* being pressured to be with people when I don't want to be
* watching others with better social skills, but less intelligence or
technical skill, do better professionally
Fives as Children Often
* spend a lot of time alone reading, making collections, and so on
* have a few special friends rather than many
* are very bright and curious and do well in school
* have independent minds and often question their parents and teachers
* watch events from a detached point of view, gathering information
* assume a poker face in order not to look afraid
* are sensitive; avoid interpersonal conflict
* feel intruded upon and controlled and/or ignored and neglected
Fives as Parents
* are often kind, perceptive, and devoted
* are sometimes authoritarian and demanding
* may expect more intellectual achievement than is developmentally appropriate
* may be intolerant of their children expressing strong emotions
You can take The Quick and Painless Enneagram Test too
p.s. I'm having major problems with that sites HTML. Don't know
enough about HTML to really fix it - so I'm doing the best I can.

Apr. 10, 2006 - My tag
I finally answered your tag, at long last! Sorry I was so slow. Last week was manic over here. We had the people from the Old Schoolhouse magazine, so we were really busy. We had a great time. I just hope I did everything the way I'm supposed to. Bruce
