I couldnt cut and paste my results like everyone seems to have been able to.

I'm pleased that I got 74% liberal, 73% radical and socialist and cultural scores in the seventies too.

Why is that?

I’m not doing your homework for you. Look it up. Look into the people who designed it and how they admitted it was based on ideology rather than any hard data or science

It is noteworthy to mention here that aggressive/abusive behaviour is represented under enneagram 8 demeanor.

People (both men and women) having high enneagram 8 scores would be prone to aggression and abuse towards others, especially when coupled with low heart triad scores (empathy).

This should be taken into account in feminism and in social sciences to differentiate between well-adjusted men and women and mal-adjusted ones.

Jumping on the OT bandwagon.
Enneagram 3 and 4 don't have much to do with empathy. Enneagram 4 has to do with your own sense of identity, enneagram 3 is even part of the assertive triad (with 7 and 8), and has to deal with the perception other people have of us. Not to mention that they're all related to shame.
I can see e2 being sort of related with empathy, since it is related to losing your sense of self to help others.

I agree with the 2. Yet, I would still expect those with high enneagram 3 and 4 to be gentler and more sensitive to others' suffering as opposed to those who score lower. Enneagram 4s for instance, would not be insensitive to suffering of people they identify with. It would make them sad and depressed.

As for enneagram 3s, it would still make them sensitive to suffering of people in their community/circle and environment.

If you want to go by stereotypes, the average bully cliché is 783.

But everything you highlighted about 3 has nothing to do with empathy. 3 are doers and strive for efficiency. They put their own feelings apart in the name of it (like 5 and 1, same triad).
To make it easier: I want to be admired because I don't have a sense of self. I'll find it in the way other people perceive me. There's no empathy in this.

Your example for 4s is valid but circumstantial and won't result in testing (which was your initial point)

Enneagram 3 - Key Motivations: Want to be affirmed, to distinguish themselves from others, to have attention, to be admired, and to impress others.



So if enneagram 4 is a feeling type who values individual authenticity and defines their identity internally, enneagram 3 is the exact opposite, a feeler type who do not have internal feelings defining their personal preferences and identity but defines their identity based on how much they are loved and admired in their social group.

Enneagram 4 is therefore Fi-dominant behaviour whereas enneagram 3 is Fe-dominant behaviour. Fe in dominant position measures how objects in the external environment feel toward the individual, and to get a good feedback from others (i.e. love and self-worth), enneagram 3s (Fe-doms) keep adjusting their behaviour and image so that it will garner them the most positive feedback (admiration) in the society, by measuring what is valued the most in their society for their gender. They are also known for being charming and diplomatic.

Therefore, their measure of success is defined by embodying the image of the most praiseworthy individual in their society, according to their society's values rather than their internal values (where the latter would be enneagram 4 behaviour). Their competitiveness emerges when there are rivals in their environment who garner more social praise (popularity) then they do.

Empathy is derived from having an abundance of feeling faculties. People low in feelings do not feel internal remorse for their actions so bad feelings do not serve as an internal deterrent for them but external consequences might.

I understand that my understanding is very subjective but it makes perfect sense to me.

The wrong logical step is attributing image-consciousness to Fe and thus empathy. It's not a double link.
What you listed has still nothing to do with empathy and is correct until that step (Being compliant, etcetera). Today I'm being too busy to elaborate on this.

Sympathy/Compassion if not empathy:

1) When there's suffering/hurt around them, how would enneagram 3s uphold their successful image and garner praise and admiration (positive feedback) from members of their society?

2) Would they cause others suffering/hurt when it would tarnish their good image in their society or when that action is not sanctioned in their society?

In enneagram 3s, dependence on others' admiration and love would make them sensitive to others' expectations of them, which would compel them to be receptive towards their needs.

Turning back to my original point though, enneagram 8 symbolizes aggressive and abusive tendencies in an individual, which may be used by social scientists to identify how well-adjusted a man or woman is.

Enneagram 8 descriptions even indicate that unhealthy 8s exhibit symptoms of antisocial personality disorder.
