Day 23 Blog Challenge: My Enneagram!
This was a personality test that I took to find out what number I am in the personality! So let me show you the list! It’s very detailed!
ENNEAGRAM CRASH COURSE
?
What is the enneagram?
• Nine types of people in the world?
• “The purpose of the Enneagram is to develop self-knowledge and learn how to recognize and dis-identify with the parts of our personalities that limit us so we can be reunited with our truest and best selves…The point of it is self-understanding and growing beyond the self-defeating dimensions of our personality, as well as improving relationships and growing in compassion for others.”?
• “…to reveal your shadow side and offer spiritual counsel on how to open it to the transformative light of grace.”?
What the enneagram is NOT
• A self-help book. ?
• A box designed to contain and typecast you. ?
• ***“The Enneagram doesn’t put you in a box. It shows you the box you’re already in and how to get out of it.”***?
• A license to psychoanalyze and type those around you without their permission. ?
• Fodder for feedback.???
Triads
• The motivations of each type. What “drives” you.?
?
• The Anger/Gut Triad (8, 9, 1)?
• The Feeling/Heart Triad (2, 3, 4)?
• The Fear/Head Triad (5, 6, 7)?
TYPE EIGHT: THE CHALLENGER
• Commanding, intense, confrontational?
• Conflict is connection?
• “You lose nothing when fighting for a cause. In my mind the losers are those who don’t have a cause to care about.” -Muhammad Ali (an 8!)?
• Eights don’t necessarily feel like they have to be the person in control, they just don’t want to be controlled?
What it’s like to be an 8:
0. I’ve been told that I’m too blunt and aggressive?
0. Doing things halfway is not my spiritual gift.?
0. I enjoy a good verbal skirmish, just to see what others are made of.?
0. In relationships that matter to me I insist on being honest about conflicts and staying in the fight till things are worked out.?
0. It’s hard for me to trust people.?
0. Justice is worth fighting for.?
0. I can sniff out other people’s weakness the first time I meet them.?
0. Saying no isn’t a problem for me.?
0. I welcome opposition. Bring it.?
0. I make decisions fast and from the gut.?
0. I don’t like when people beat around the bush.?
0. I’m wary of people who are super nice.?
0. When I walk into a room I know immediately who has the most power.?
0. I don’t have much respect for people who don’t stand up for themselves.?
0. One of my mottos is “A good offense is better than a good defense.”?
0. Don’t mess with the people I love.?
0. I know I’m respected. But sometimes I want to be loved.?
0. I have no problem confronting a bully.?
0. If God wanted people to wear their hearts on their sleeve, he would have put it there.?
0. Under my tough exterior is a tender, loving heart. ?
Ten paths to transformation:
0. Too often, your intensity and lust for life runs the show. Give a friend permission to tell you when you’re going overboard or exhibiting extreme behaviors. Remember, ‘moderation, moderation, moderation.’?
0. To recover a piece of your natural childhood innocence, tend and befriend your inner child. I know, you don’t have time for this sort of crap, but it helps.?
0. Watch out for and avoid black and white thinking. Gray is an actual color.?
0. Broaden your definition of strength and courage to include vulnerability. Risk sharing your heart at deeper levels with someone in your life.?
0. Remember, your tendency is to act impulsively. It’s “ready, aim, fire!” not “fire, aim, ready!”?
0. You don’t have a corner on the truth market. In the heat of the battle, stop and ask yourself. “What if I’m wrong?” Say that a hundred times a day.?
0. Your personality is twice as big and intense as you think it is, and what feels like passion to you often feels like intimidation to others. Offer an unqualified apology when people tell you that you ran over them.?
0. Don’t always play the part of the rebel, and try not to pit yourself against appropriate authority figures. They’re not all bad people.?
0. When you power up and get angry, stop and ask yourself whether you’re trying to hide or deny a vulnerable feeling. What feeling it it? How do you use aggression as a way to hide it or defend against it??
0. Don’t judge yourself or others as weak for sharing tender feelings. It takes courage to drop your guard and expose your inner child. (I know, you still hate that phrase.)?
TYPE NINE: THE PEACEMAKER
• Pleasant, laid back and accommodating. ?
• “It’s better to keep peace than to have to make peace.”?
What it’s like to be a 9:
0. I’ll do almost anything to avoid conflict.?

0. I’m a “what you see is what you get” person.?
0. I don’t think of myself as being very important.?
0. People think I’m a good listener even though I find it hard to pay attention in a long conversation/?

0. Journal on the question “What is my calling or life’s program? Am I pursuing it or postponing it to keep the peace?”?
0. Ask someone to help you find a task-management or to-do system to help you stay on task. There are lots of great apps out there just for this purpose.?
0. Practice saying no when someone asks you to do something you don’t want to.?
0. Be aware of the numbing strategies you use to avoid having to deal with life, whether that’s a glass of wine or shopping or girl scout cookies.?
0. Don’t be afraid to have opinions and express them. You can start with small things and build up to important ones.?
0. Resist the urge to fall back on passive-aggressive behaviors like procrastination and avoidance. If you feel angry, be honest and open.?
0. Understand how important and unique your voice is. People deserve to hear what you think, not have their own views mirrored back to them.?
0. Remember that what feels like intense, terrible conflict to you might just be a typical disagreement for someone else. Take a deep breath and engage.?
0. Realize that your tendency to merge with others can be a beautiful gift if directed toward God. Other types envy this spiritual advantage you have. But don’t fuse with another person and miss out on the chance to become your own person.?
0. When you feel paralyzed in the face of a decision, consult someone who won’t tell you what to do but rather will help you tease out what you want to do–then do it!?

0. When you are ready to dive right in to correct an injustice or right a wrong, first ask yourself whether the passion you feel for that issue is really misplaced anger about something else.?
0. Let your Seven and Nine friends help you learn how to relax and have fun. The work will still be there tomorrow.?

0. Whenever possible, perform acts of anonymous service.?
0. Twos toggle back and forth between having overly inflated and overly deflated views of themselves and their value to others. Remind yourself you’re neither the best nor the worst. Just you.?
0. Don’t push away feelings of resentment or entitlement when they arise. Instead, view them as invitations to look inwardly with kindness and ask, What most needs attention in my life right now??
0. Don’t beat yourself up when you catch yourself moving too aggressively toward others or overwhelming them with your emotions. Congratulate yourself for spotting it, and dial it back.?
0. Two or three times a day, ask yourself, What am I feeling right now? and What do I need right now? Don’t worry if you can’t supply an answer. It takes time to develop self-care muscles.?

0. Memorize and repeat Julian of Norwich’s beautiful prayer, “All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well.”?

0. Get a journal and record your answers to questions like “What does my life mean? What memories or feeling am I running from? Where’s the depth I yearn to have that will compliment my intelligence?” Don’t abandon this exercise until it’s finished.?
