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

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
Joy, that sounds like an idealized version of you. It's like it just describes the way people feel about you. I am not sure you really act that way in reality though.

How to Get Along with Me

feel that they don't fit in
believe they are missing something that other people have
attach themselves to idealized teachers, heroes, artists, etc.
become antiauthoritarian or rebellious when criticized or not understood

Fours as Parents
help their children become who they really are
support their children's creativity and originality
are good at helping their children get in touch with their feelings
are sometimes overly critical or overly protective
are usually very good with children if not too self-absorbed
On second thought, it does sound like you.
It's just... too exclusive somehow.

are active in school government and clubs or are quietly busy working on their own projects
Threes as Parents
are consistent, dependable, and loyal
struggle between wanting to spend time with their children and wanting to get more work done
expect their children to be responsible and organized
I dunno, that one sounds like how I am sometimes, just like the one I picked sounds like how I am sometimes. They are both too energetic sounding though. I have definite lows in enegry and during those times I would rather just sit around than *do* anything. It's like, half and half. I think enneagram is just bullshit. There's no room for inconsistencies.
Yup yup.Originally Posted by Joy
I am not happy with my profile either. There are times when I just won't shut up.
you just won't shut up?
It happens.
yeah but I'm like that more often than not... I think...
ennegram confuses me more than socionics does
so i don't like it either and i dont want to take this test sorry
i agree with the inconsistancy thing and something else that darkie said but i don't remember exactly what it was and don't feel like looking back so i wont![]()
I think enneagram sucks. Its too linear and narrow in its conceptions of people. I scored as type which may be true but enneagram experts describe fives as cold, frigid humanoids who dont seek any pleasure, read nothing but science books and avoid all social contacs. They also describe threes as a bunch of shallow pop stars and rappers, and eights as animalistic, hairy macho knuckleheads. I'm exaggerating a bit, but you gotta admit the enneagram is largely a play on stereotypes and only looks at people's surface behaviors even if theres some truth to it.

My result: http://www.okcupid.com/quizzy/result...24047553696187
The more E3's I know, the less I think I am one.
This was interesting because I didn't actually know what each question was testing. I had difficulty choosing between the last three options. In the end, I got the correct result, though!
Six: http://www.okcupid.com/results/the-q...I=1&var_ABC=21
I got six.
That was a lot shorter than I expected haha.
Why is that link to the "Commonly Confused Words" test? Wtf.
Anyway, here are my results rofl:
![]()
This tests says I'm a 4. *eyes the test suspiciously*
The second question was kind of hard, because none of the answers were totally obvious or 100% right, but the first question was easy. Basically between answer 2 and 3 of question 2, it was asking if I was a logical person or an emotional person, and I'm a bit of both. I don't see how I could really choose in between those. And where people judge me being logical one day and stick to it, that's where they go wrong, because I could be more emotional the next day.
I got 4 anyway. That's based on how it worded F vs T, which could easily be different.
I get either 4 or 5. The first question was easy, I'm definitely a withdrawn type but the second question I was split between reactive and competency. I feel more reactive than most 5's and less reactive than most 4's.
LII-Ne with strong EII tendencies, 6w7-9w1-3w4 so/sp/sx, INxP
The first one was really easy for me. The second set tempted me with the 3rd answer, but the 1st is definitely more me at the end of the day.
Seems surprisingly powerful for it's size. I got 5.
