That could be mighty handy in Cuba and the Dominican Republic!

Please, stop assuming you've got an 8 wing just because you have an independent streak.

I'm 9w8. I'm easy going with an independent streak. Are you cool with that ? Not that I really care.

 

[PuddleRiver]

A five here. Sometimes 5w4, sometimes 5w6.

No eights here bub.

 

[Little Linguist]

I have no idea what I am. It took me about ten full seconds to realize what the hell w8 was. I thought - okay smilie attempt? No. Abbreviation? No. Ohhh, another crazy personality test!!!!!

C'mon guys, gimme a break it's early in the morning (well that is early for me).

 

[Nocapszy]

Um...

I'm a regular 8. Does that piss you off more, or is it that w that makes it so annoying?

Edit: Least I think I'm an 8. Maybe not. I don't really know enneagram.

 

[SillySapienne]

I'm a fantastic 4 who delights in pwning male 8s into intellectual submission!!!

 

[Angry Ayrab]

Mine seems like an unhealthy bastard, I scored equal on 7 and 3. After reading them, I hope its not me...

 

[Little Linguist]

Wellllll now, let me take the test and then I will let y'all know.

Apparently these were my results from one test:

Enneagram Personality Type Indicator Results
Your highest score will indicate you basic type, or it will be among the top 2-3 scores. Low scores in some type might come out negative. That's perfectly normal.
For best results, you should answer all the questions that apply.


Type 1 = 0
Type 2 = 1
Type 3 = 2
Type 4 = 2
Type 5 = -3
Type 6 = 1
Type 7 = 1
Type 8 = -3
Type 9 = -1

1 Reformer I do everything the right way. (NAH!!!)
2 Helper I must help others. (Why not? But not all the time. I need time for myself, too.)
3 Motivator I need to succeed. (Hellz yeah - what's life all about? It's the question: what IS success?!)
4 Romantic I am unique. (Damn straight!)
5 Thinker I need to understand the world. (Sure do.)
6 Skeptic I am affectionate and skeptical. (Yup.)
7 Enthusiast I am happy and open to new things. (Definitely)
8 Leader I must be strong. (Nahhhhhhh!)
9 Peacemaker I am at peace. (Hmm, not really ;-))


The Nine Personality Types of the Enneagram
Type 1: The Reformer. The rational, idealistic type. (Idealistic, yes; rational, no)
Type 2: The Helper. The caring, nurturing type. (Um, okay, sometimes)
Type 3: The Motivator. The adaptable, success-oriented type. (YEAHHHHHHH babay!!!)
Type 4: The Artist. The intuitive, reserved type. (Yes, true)
Type 5: The Thinker. The perceptive, cerebral type. (Sometimes, when I feel like it)
Type 6: The Skeptic. The committed, security-oriented type. (Hmm, not so sure 'bout that)
Type 7: The Generalist. The enthusiastic, productive type. (Hellz yeah!)
Type 8: The Leader. The powerful, aggressive type. (No freakin' way)
Type 9: The Peacemaker. The easygoing, accommodating type. (Um...no!)

Hehehehe, seems like a tie between 3 and 4 (though I like 7, too). But EIGHT?!?!?! SHIT, no!!!!!!!

Let someone else do the leading crap.

DUDE!!!!!!! Am I a two or a three?!?!?! I think three...with a two as a secondary choce. But maybe two with three as a secondary choice.

BUT HOLD ON A SECOND - I don't have that strong of an IMAGE focus. I mean, OKAY - I am not like driving around in a bloody Mercedes Benz so that everyone thinks I have a lot of money and shit. I hope this is not a monetary or financial matter...Then again, if it is in terms of other perceptions, maybe it is more accurate. But I'm not a superficial asshole.

 

[Ilah]

I thought you got two wings. One on each side.

I identify fairly strongly with 7, but I do see parts of 6 and 8 applying to me. So wouldn't I be 7w6w8?

My second strongest was 5, but since that is my relaxed type (not sure if that is the correct term or not) that fit it without being a wing.

Ilah

 

[Domino]

The wings are a confusing contrivance at best. Magic Poriferan is great at explaining them but even he finally gives up and shrugs.

 

[Little Linguist]

Conclusion: What a crappy test!!!!!

 

[substitute]

uh, well my 7w8 was professionally tested by a professional shrink who is into MBTI and Enneagram as a hobby. As were my function strengths as listed in my signature. So i don't care whether you think I'm a w8 or not.

In fact, when I took my first enneagram test (with the same guy) I came out as 8 (with almost as many points in 5 and 7), and for a while we thought I might've been 8w7, but we settled on 7w8 eventually and haven't had cause to question it for nearly a year.

 

[murkrow]

I have no issue with 7s and 9s with w8, it's when 4s tell me they are w8 that I get doubtful.

Many of the aspects of an 8 are present in 4s.

Perhaps you made a typo or something, because this post makes absolutely no sense.

Yuh huh it does.

But what about 8w4?

 

[cafe]

I thought wings had to be neighboring numbers.
