LOL yes but I was just going by what he said above that you said sounded like like a balanced 8w7 or 8w9. I am not aggressive unless someone threatens what is mine but for me it would be relationships > possessions.
I was raised around violence too (my aunt and later the area I lived in). I had a parent in the military. My aunt was pretty aggressive + sadistic. My mom can be both aggressive and assertive, depending. She can also be passive aggressive when she doesn't know how to express her most tender feelings.
Like him, I can easily defuse conflict and tension. I am more assertive than aggressive though. He said he wishes he could be more assertive so I wondered if the women meant passive aggressive because he said "women have told me I'm very aggressive, but in a quiet, non-demonstrative way. Whatever that means."

Jeremy, you got me. I'm really a intuitive 4. These test results:

Adam's Enneagram test Results, 8w7, 3w2, 6w7 - reduced.jpg
were just me gaming the system, before I even knew (strong intuition) what either the enneagram or its categories meant. I was missing that knowledge, and other people had it. (e4)
