Main Questions 1. What drives you in life? What do you look for? What drives me... I'm not sure. Sadism? Haha. Just kidding. I suppose I am driven by the desire to protect (not to be confused...
Does anyone think I'm mistyped?
Deer are beautiful creatures. :)
Look up honey badger vs bear. They're insane. o.o
I don't consciously stuff them down either, it just happens. But I am aware that it's something that happens. :) Also, are you sure that's not 8-like? O.o 8s are lustful, 7s are gluttonous, so...
I have to add, I relate so much to how both 8s and 7s deal with emotions. Like, it's kind of awesome to see that I am not the only one who is this way? I alternate between denial and escapism, for...
I mean, I've definitely been there; not the salvaging because I can't fit in, I never once tried... but I gave it some thought, and I did care about being special as a teenager. Not sure for how...
Well, I have an awareness of having been wronged... is that similar? I don't believe I have an air of a persecutor... I can see 8s taking great offense at such a thing, actually? Also, hahaha! I...
Haha, I'm curious due to your comment a post or two ago; what is the type you are so sure I am? :)
I just sort of ignore them, and do what it is I want to do anyway. Not sure how to answer the second one.
Welllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll maybe that was a dumb thing to say. It's true, being controlled/trapped is by far what I fear the most, or, the thought that makes...
Okay, so I now realize that list is next to useless. Here is a link to a questionnaire that my husband filled out. :) ...
I've considered that also, but he's actually the opposite of a perfectionist, is not an angry person, hidden or otherwise, doesn't care about things being 'right,' etc. So def not a 1. But thanks...
Whoa. This is just super unhealthy 6s, right? o.o
Ooooo, I can definitely see both of those in our relationship. He seems like a 6 and a 9.... He is very excitable and restless for a 9, though, I'd say? He gets bored and wants to go on adventures....
:angry:
Passionate, fierce, protective, mischievous, restless, generous, compassionate, hermit-like, wary, lewd, gluttonous, lustful, a warrior and a healer. :)
Passive Silly Positive Energetic Competitive Analytical Security-oriented Loyal Affectionate Deep-feeling
Okay, thank you!!
Ooo, very noble goals. And, actually, I relate to 5 some, especially when I am in a particularly mentally/emotionally unhealthy place. 8 disintegrates into 5. So, 8 could be more likely,...
Let's see... to have a home in the forest, learn to fight with a variety of weapons (axe, sword and bow), become super physically fit/strong again (once I am healthy enough to), travel, try lots of...
I do! :) Not been crazy impressed with the last few episodes... but overall, it is epic.
I agree! I like the sx 8 one. I relate to it more than the 4 one for sure. The, giving a thoughtful gift and pretending it's not a big deal is so me.... It makes me uncomfortable when they talk...
Also, I am way more compassionate toward animals than humans... like... in war movies or what have you, I don't bat an eye to people dying, but if it's a horse... I will be angry. Hahahahaha. Not...
I... don't, really. o.o It depends, though. Sometimes I can be so apathetic. Like, shit happens... this isn't going to shock or move me, type deal. At the same time... I am not a heartless...
I definitely use anger as power and energy, if that's relevant? Heheh. This is an interesting thread. ^.^
I don't care whether I am unique or not, actually. It's just not something I think about. I am true to myself, which can make me seem eccentric and therefore unique; but really, if everyone was...
Hahaha, sweet, thanks! And having 4 in my tritype could be where the 4 flavor is coming from also? *Shrugs*
This is an accurate statement! =^.^= Who shall I torture for my entertainment next? Huehuehuehue....
Is that true? I've always read that 8s fear being vulnerable/weak, even if it is well repressed? As to cp6, I've considered it, but I relate to it very little if at all. I can see how that post may...
I mean, both? :o I don't think people are able to control me, so the thought doesn't scare me too badly. That being said, WERE they able to, definitely that.
Not 4? You think? I definitely relate to the whole, longing for the source (I call them the 'homelands') or a place like that, with nature and elves... and all kinds of embarrassing crap. I've...
My husband is a 9, and this is soooooooooo funny. How can a person be so passive?! It's hilarious. Sometimes I'll smack him (playfully) and poke him and generally attack him to try and get a...
Oh my... the 8 is also so me. Anger problems, man.
Haha, my life D:
Oh my God, I relate to the 4 and 7 ones so far, hee hee. One time my brother was sad, so I threw scented candles at him to sniff so he would feel better. @.@ And when I can tell my dad is sad I...
I've heard about both types from people, yet they seem so similar to me. I am passionate, take-action, but also reclusive and dreamy, but also aggressive and confrontational, but also considerate...
O.o
Heheh, you'll be okay *pats your head*
At, https://www.enneagramworldwide.com/type-comparisons/#four_to_eight, I found Types 4 and 8, what’s similar: Romantics (4) and Protectors (8) can be look-alike types because both show intensity,...
Hmm, you sound pretty 8-like? :o I relate to some things, not to others... hrm. I wish there was a definitive way to tell the difference. I know it's not that serious or anything, but I am sure...
Actually, I lied. I do still view it as weak. But only in myself; I don't presume to judge others and, objectively, even though it FEELS weak, I know it's a kind of strength.
Also, Animal, when my husband and I first started dating I mocked him for crying, as it's something I never do myself and viewED as weak. I don't anymore, as it's a sign of strength to be able to...
Ooh, Animal, may I ask, were you the dominant one in your relationships? I most definitely am in mine. I wonder if that is an 8 thing? My 4 friend tends to be neutral, or even slightly more...
Oops. Is swearing okay on here? Sorry if not. Doodeedoo....
7 is another option, yes. I have a lot of 7 in me. But, I would not say it is my core type... a lot of the 'scatteredness' of me is due to mania episodes, or mixed depression/mania, since I have...
My husband thinks I am an 8w7 also, and that seems to be the general consensus.... I will be certain of it for a long time, but then see some things about 4 I relate to and start wondering again,...
Yes, 8 it is... thanks so much everybody! I have been uncertain for a while. But I do have a 4 friend and we differ in some key ways, and all of these comments helped me figure it out, too. Also,...
After looking at all of this, I feel like sexual 8 fits me best? I kind of cringe when I read 4 descriptions, because such... emotional expressiveness and vulnerability are foreign to me...? I do...
Is this so, I wonder? Most are driven by some sort of purpose, and everyone has emotions. I don't know that 8s are particularly logical; they are guided by their gut, which can be confused with 4's...
