I might be a 3w4, the trouble is...I friggin hate 3s! they're emotionally weak, insecure, fake, dependent on others and shallow. so do any of you guys know any cool 3w4s that would make me feel any better in the event that I am indeed a 3w4 sp/sx?

I've seen Truman Capote, Andy Warhol, William Shatner, David Bowie and F. Scott Fitzgerald typed as 3w4s.

Emotionally weak, insecure, fake, dependant on others and shallow. Yup, you certainly nailed the characteristics of an enneagram three.

Isn't Angelina Jolie a 3w4?

Weak and insecure is found in every type. I've always seen 3's as very accomplishment driven. I don't think thats a bad thing.

I have a 3w4 in my tritype, not sure if it counts but whatever. I think you're cool and I want to reply to this xD

I can definitely see my 3w4 coming out when I'm in class. I have my mind on the task itself and I'm constantly thinking how I should get to it as efficiently as possible and how to keep it by the deadline (journalism is really deadline oriented, once you're out of the deadline you're screwed). In this period I get really goal-oriented and it's not so much about the acting (you only do that while you're presenting anyway, it's not that hard to keep a tactful front), it's about what I get in the end. We're graded daily and I tell myself to get an A grade for the day, and the rest, well it's part of getting an A grade. Most of it's graded on presentation, daily write ups and class engagement. I make sure I excel in all 3 areas. Even if I made a shitty presentation I make sure my write ups blow the facilitator away. It's all about the goals.

During this time, I admit, I am not aware that I've steamrollered people in pursuit of getting to the goal. I only came to be aware of this when my team member tells me "that it is stressful working with me" and that "I am intimidating" and people want to keep the peace, ya know?

The Helen Palmer tapes describe 3s as goal-oriented and efficient. I certainly see that in myself but the main question is WHY. Why is it that you are like this and that, why.

I thought of Patrick Bateman as a 3w2. Not sure of the variant.

If you were a 3, I'm sure it would make you feel better about 3s.

How about you cut the trash talk?

That's just another case of stereotyping on the basis of some average to unhealthy type 3 traits. I take it you don't have a good enneagram book on hand.

Since you think you're so awesome, why don't you just extend it to the rest of your people?
