Existing Situation:
Working to improve his image in the eyes of others so as to obtain their compliance and agreement with his needs and wishes.

Stress Sources:
Physiological Interpretation:
Stress arising from suppression of physical or sexual desires and insufficient consideration for bodily needs.

Psychological Interpretation:
Has an unsatisfied need to ally himself with others whose standards are as high as his own, and to stand out from the common herd. This desire for pre-eminence isolates him and inhibits his readiness to give himself freely. While he wants to surrender and let himself go, he regards this as a weakness which must be resisted. This self-restraint, he feels, will lift him above the rank and file and ensure recognition as a unique and distinctive personality.

In Brief:
Demands esteem from others.

Restrained Characteristics:
Wants to broaden his fields of activity and insists that his hopes and ideas are realistic. Distressed by the fear that he may be prevented from doing what he wants; needs both peaceful conditions and quiet reassurance to restore his confidence.
Circumstances are such that he feels forced to compromise for the time being if he is to avoid being cut off from affection or from full participation.

Desired Objective:
Desires a tranquil, peaceful state of harmony offering quiet contentment and a sense of belonging.

Actual Problems:
Wants to be valued and respected and seeks this from a close and peaceful association of mutual esteem.

Ambivalence(s):
The colour choices do not suggest any particular ambivalences.

Approach to Work:
Has the 'elasticity of will' which allows him to persist despite opposition or difficulties, because by persisting one can accomplish the task and thus enhance one's own self-esteem. Work that he wants to do will be done well and be well integrated, partly for the purpose of increasing his self-esteem and his stature in the eyes of others.

Anxiety, on a scale of 0 (lowest) to 6 (highest): 0 .
Compulsiveness of compensations (from 0 to 6): 0 .

Your results read much like the e-type 3. Any comments to that? I don't know if you're an Enneagrammist. Wanting to be the first one to reply is very competitive.

I kinda meant that 'tongue in cheek' about wanting to be the first to reply. I'm pretty sure I'm not a 3- at least not as a primary type although it could be in my trifix.

Existing Situation:
Easily affected by his environment and readily moved by the emotions of others. Seeks congenial relationships and an occupation that will promote them.

Physiological Interpretation:
Stress resulting from excessive self-restraint in the attempt to win the regard and esteem of others.

Psychological Interpretation:
Has an unsatisfied need to ally himself with others whose standards are as high as his own, and to stand out from the rank and file. This subjects him to considerable stress, but he sticks to his attitudes despite lack of appreciation. Finds the situation uncomfortable and would like to break away from it, but refuses to compromise with his opinions. Unable to resolve the situation because he continually postpones making the necessary decision as he doubts his ability to withstand the opposition which would result. Needs the esteem of others, compliance with his wishes and respect for his opinions before he can feel at ease and secure.

In Brief:
Stubborn but ineffectual demand for esteem.

Restrained Characteristics:
Circumstances are restrictive and hampering, forcing him to forgo all joys and pleasures for the time being.
Willing to participate and willing to allow himself to become involved, but tries to fend off conflict and disturbance in order to reduce tension.

Desired Objective:
Wants interesting and exciting things to happen. Able to make himself well-liked by his obvious interest and by the very openness of his charm. Over-imaginative and given to fantasy and day dreaming.

Actual Problems:
Greatly impressed by the unique, by originality and by individuals of outstanding characteristics. Tries to emulate the characteristics he admires and to display originality in his own personality.

Ambivalence(s):
The colour choices do not suggest any particular ambivalences.

Approach to Work:
The colour choices do not suggest a particular approach to work.

Anxiety, on a scale of 0 (lowest) to 6 (highest): 2 .

Existing Situation:
Persistent. Demands that what he feels to be his due and endeavours to maintain his position intact.

Stress Sources:
Physiological Interpretation:
Emotional dissatisfaction has given rise to a touchy and impatient desire for independence, leading to stress and restlessness.

Psychological Interpretation:
An existing situation or relationship is unsatisfactory, but he feels unable to improve it without willing cooperation. Unwilling to expose his vulnerability and therefore considers it inadvisable to display affection or be over-demonstrative. He regards the relationship as a depressing tie, but although he wants to be independent and unhampered, he does not want to risk losing anything. All this leads him to react touchily and with impatience, while the urge to "get away from it all" results in considerable restlessness. The ability to concentrate may suffer.

In Brief:
Restless instability arising from emotional dissatisfaction.

Restrained Characteristics:
Wants to broaden his fields of activity and insists that his hopes and ideas are realistic. Distressed by the fear that he may be prevented from doing what he wants; needs both peaceful conditions and quiet reassurance to restore his confidence.
Insists that his hopes and ideas are realistic, but needs reassurance and encouragement. Egocentric and therefore quick to take offence.

Desired Objective:
Badly in need of rest and relaxation, freedom from conflict and the chance to recover. Wants to protect himself against destructive and exhausting influences. Longs for security and freedom from problems.

Actual Problems:
Seeks security and a position in which he will no longer be troubled by demands being made on him.

Ambivalence(s):
Has an ambivalent attitude varying between cautious reserve and the fear of not receiving his due.
Has an ambivalent attitude varying between a relaxed contentment and a restless dissatisfaction.

Approach to Work:
Has the 'elasticity of will' which allows him to persist despite opposition or difficulties, because by persisting one can accomplish the task and thus enhance one's own self-esteem. Work that he wants to do will be done well and be well integrated, partly for the purpose of increasing his self-esteem and his stature in the eyes of others.

Existing Situation:
Active, but feels that insufficient progress is being made or insufficient reward being obtained for the effort exerted.

Stress Sources:

Physiological Interpretation:
Stress due to suppressed sensitivity.

Psychological Interpretation:
Delights in the tasteful, the precious and the sensitive, but maintains his attitude of critical appraisal and refuses to be swept off his feet unless genuineness and integrity can be absolutely vouched for.

Demands complete sincerity as a protection against his own tendency to be too trusting.

In Brief:
Controlled and analytical responsiveness.

Restrained Characteristics:
Willing to become emotionally involved and able to achieve satisfaction from sexual activity.
Insists that his goals are realistic and sticks obstinately to them, even though circumstances are forcing him to compromise. Very exacting in the standards he applies to his choice of a partner.

Desired Objective:
Wants to make a favourable impression and be recognised. Needs to feel appreciated and admired. Sensitive and easily hurt if no notice is taken of him or he is not given adequate acknowledgement.

Actual Problems:
Works to strengthen his position and bolster his self-esteem by examining his own accomplishments (and those of others) with critical appraisal and scientific discrimination. Insists on having things clear-cut and unequivocal.

Stress Sources:
Physiological Interpretation:
Displays impatience and agitation.

Psychological Interpretation:
Feels that life has far more to offer and that there are still important things to be achieved - that life must be experienced to the full. As a result, he pursues his objectives with a fierce intensity and will not let go of things. Becomes deeply involved and runs the risk of being unable to view things with sufficient objectivity, or calmly enough; is therefore in danger of becoming agitated and of exhausting his nervous energy. Cannot leave things alone and feels he can only be at peace when he has finally reached his goal.

In Brief:
Impatient involvement.

Restrained Characteristics:
Wants to broaden his fields of activity and insists that his hopes and ideas are realistic. Distressed by the fear that he may be prevented from doing what he wants; needs both peaceful conditions and quiet reassurance to restore his confidence.

Desired Objective:
Seeks the determination and elasticity of will necessary to establish himself and to make himself independent despite the difficulties of his situation. Wants to overcome opposition and achieve recognition.

Afraid that he may be prevented from achieving the things he wants and therefore demands that others should recognize his right to them.

Ambivalence(s):
The colour choices do not suggest any particular ambivalences.
Approach to Work:
The colour choices do not suggest a particular approach to work.

Then are you disagreeing with the results of the test for you? I see elements of 6 and/or 9 in them. But for the most part it comes out as a 3.

Existing Situation:
Having difficulty in making progress. Despite the attempt to conceal impulsiveness, his activities lead to problems and uncertainties, making him tense and irritable. (The Desired Objective, below, is an attempt to compensate for this and other conflicts.)

Stress Sources:

Physiological Interpretation:
Stress resulting from the effort to conceal worry and anxiety under a cloak of self-reliance and unconcern.

Psychological Interpretation:
The existing situation is disagreeable. Feels lonely and uncertain as he has an unsatisfied need to ally himself with others whose standards are as high as his own and to stand out from the rank and file. This sense of isolation magnifies his need into a compelling urge, all the more upsetting to his self-sufficiency because of the restraint he imposes on himself. Since he wants to demonstrate the unique quality of his own character, he tries to suppress this need for others, and affects an attitude of unconcerned self-reliance to conceal his fear of inadequacy, treating those who criticise his behaviour with contempt. However, beneath this assumption of indifference he really longs for the approval and esteem of others.

In Brief:
Disappointment leading to assumed indifference.


Restrained Characteristics:
Feels that he is receiving less that his share and that there is no one on whom he can rely for sympathy and understanding. Pent-up emotions and a certain egocentricity make him quick to take offence, but he realises that he has to make the best of things as they are.

Desired Objective:
Urgently in need of rest, relaxation, peace and affectionate understanding. Feels he has been treated with a lack of consideration and is upset and agitated as a result. Regards his situation as intolerable as long as his requirements are not complied with.

Actual Problems:
Disappointment at the non-fulfilment of his hopes and the fear that to formulate fresh goals will only lead to further setbacks have resulted in considerable anxiety. He is trying to escape from this into a peaceful and harmonious relationship, protecting him from dissatisfaction and lack of appreciation.

Ambivalence(s):
The colour choices do not suggest any particular ambivalences.

Approach to Work:
The colour choices do not suggest a particular approach to work.

Anxiety, on a scale of 0 (lowest) to 6 (highest): 4 .
Compulsiveness of compensations (from 0 to 6): 3 .


Wow, that seems shockingly accurate.
