Your enneagram type

[Maverick]

How are you categorized in this personality system?

If you have no idea yet here's a link to a test:

Eclectic Energies Enneagram Tests (free)

Feel free to discuss how you relate to your Enneagram type, which out of the Enneagram and the MBTI explains you better, ...

If you have a variant, please include it too.

I'm not a bird, a leak-resistant feminine product, and I'm probably not an angel, mostly due to that bit between birds and angels.

In any event, the poll is biased against me.

Type 2. I don't think I have a wing. I cannot seem to score 'properly' to get a one or three in the next category and always get 8. I am not however overbearing/controlling (the sign of an unhealthy 2). I pretty much gave up on enneagram due to this and am not going to alter my answers to make it work.

Maybe we could actually expand this question a bit (since it's in a more serious category) rather than just having everyone volunteer their enneagram type.

Like, "...and what does it mean for you?" or "Do you think the test was right or wrong, and why?"

Or some other question that actually provides some decent exploration (?).

Look at the bright side - you actually tested as one thing. I test as a 3456w9 (often tying with a minor 9). I've never come across this on any other test... and considering that enneagram uses +/- calcs... it's quite something.

Depending on the E test, I get high ranked in 2 too. I also get pretty high in 5.

I find it interesting as a complement to the MBTI type. It doesn't seem to give a behavioral description as full as the MBTI but the inclusion of motivations is interesting.
