1. Is there anything that may affect the way you answer the questions? For example, a stressful time, mental illness, medications, special life circumstances? Other useful information includes sex, age, and current state of mind.
Nope 19 year old male
2. Study these two images here and here. Which one do you prefer and why? How would you describe it?
I probably prefer the first image due to calmness of the sea and the contrast of the vivid green and the dark sky
3. Please describe yourself as a person if you were to introduce yourself to someone else like in a cover letter. What kind of person are you and why?
If you were to describe me I would probably be the goofy kid who is kind of nerdy and is always telling bad jokes and who will question a lot of what you do( once got told I ask too many questions) I am probably this way because I just find it more fun the be silly and also it generally lightens the mood
4. What kind of person would you LIKE to be? Why? What kind of person would you NOT want to be? Why?
I would like to be the kind of person who makes a difference to the world in a positive way usually by thinking up a political or economic policy which will improve peoples lives because I think the world kinds sucks right now and I want to make it better I wouldn't want to be the kind of person who sits around making blank generalisations such as " politicians are all liars" which has been said a million times before you're not the first person to notice they may not be the most honest or the fact that they aren't all liars this probably annoys me because the people usually don't know what they are talking about and have very simplistic views about the thing they are talking about
5. Do you think there are any differences to how you described yourself and how people actually perceive you? How do you think others would describe you? If there are any discrepancies between these two that are you are aware of; do you know why exactly that is?
People seem to think I am nicer than I feel I mean I have had people come up to me and ask me why I am so nice or say I am too nice it is probably because I don't get as angry about things on the outside as much as other people do and I don't like calling anyone names
6. What in life do you find to be of importance? Why? If you are unsure you can always take the Value Test and post the results here. Do note that it helps if you narrow it down to 20 or ideally 10 values as suggested at stage 2.
I find that the most important thing in life is doing what you think is best and being free because then you don't have as many regrets that way as you didn't listen to what other people want you to do you made your own path
7. How do you react to new situations in your life? Can you describe an event in your life where you were in an unknown situation? How did you deal with it?
Depends on the situation I generally evaluate whether it will make things better or it will be fun if not I will probably not enjoy it when in an unkown situation I just try to talk it through with someone to kind of talk myself through it
8. Please describe yourself when you are in a stressful situation. How do you act and why? Real life experiences are welcome. when I am in a stressful situation I might become a bit more snappy but generally I try to keep the anger inside and joke about it a bit because if you make fun of something it generally loses it power over you
9. Please describe yourself when you are in an enjoyable situation. How do you act and why? Real life experiences are welcome.
When I am in an enjoyable situation I might have a smile on my face a lot and maybe even jumping up and down and I will talk a lot more and faster and feel a kind of buzz from all the excitement like I can't contain it because mainly I have a great feeling of excitement and I just want to let it out somehow
10. Describe your relationship to socialization. How do you perceive one-on-one interaction? How do you perceive group interaction?
Well I generally don't enjoy things like parties but if I am socialising and we are on a interesting topic I won't stop I don't really like one on one interactions because I feel more of a need to constantly keep that person entertained and that there is less input than what you get with group interaction as I like lots of different ideas being put forth
11. Describe your relationship to society. What are the elements of it you hold important or unimportant (e.g. social norms, values, customs, traditions)? How do you see people as a whole?
I feel that society should only be there to let you use your individuality to the maximum possible I just get annoyed with society because sometimes it can silence people too quickly just by declaring ideas taboo so they don't get any media representation meaning they don't get discussed generally I believe people are good but sometimes get a knocked off the path also I sometimes get annoyed with choices that the voting population makes without being informed
12. Describe your relationship to authority. How do you perceive authority? What does it mean to you, and how do you deal with it?
I don't mind authority as long as it makes sense if it makes rules that have not logical reason behind them I get annoyed and start arguing with them but as long as the reasoning behind the rule is made clear to me I don't mind following
13. Describe your relationship to order and chaos. What do order and chaos mean to you? How do they manifest in your daily life?
I don't really care that much about order if it is working fine without it leave it be if it isn't I will probably try to organise some kind of system to fix that problem
14. What is it that you fear in life? Why? How does this fear manifest to you both in how you think and how you act?
Birds but I doubt it means phobias I probably fear not getting to experience life I mean you go through life you start out by going to school then you get a job until you retire where you have enough money to like go see the world but your body might not be up to it and then you have missed out on life
15. What is it that you desire in life? What do you strive to achieve? Why? Where do you think these drives and desires stem from or are inspired by?
I desire in life to make a difference enjoy life and see the world because I am interested in how other people I've and also if you're not enjoying life what's the point these are probably inspired by my internet searches and documentary watching seeing the interesting differences between people and wanting to see it up close
16. a) What activities energize you most? b) What activities drain you most? Why?
I am probably most energised when discussing something with someone and we get onto a really interesting topic and you find out something you didn't know about them or also when an ideas is going on in head and I am imaging all the possibilities that could come from this I am probably most drained when I am having to listen to someone tlk for extended periods of time about things that don't interest me at all such as what's the weather and what do you plan to do when x happens
17. Why do you want to know your type? What type do you think you are? Why this/these type(s)? Is there a type that appeals to you, to your self-perception, that you would like to be? Why? If you know your enneagram, please post this here. If you have done any online function tests such as the Keys2Cognition, it helps if you post these results here as well.
I want to know my type because I want to understand myself a bit better I don't know what type I am so far the suggestions seem to be ENTP , ENFP or INFP lots of different types appeal to me in different ways
18. Finally, is there something else you find to be of importance you want to add about yourself you think might be of relevance when helping to type you? Nope
