I'm a Hungry Hungry Hippo That Loves Having Balls In His Mouth

[OptoGypsy]

I'm an 18 year old punk. My aspirations are to become a Sociology professor, have a family, and create a revolution to get rid of Lobbying.
I'm a Synthesis Idealist Thinker...

The way I'm at College, with friends, away from the family:
I'm an Intellectual Witty Alpha that always looks for ways to improve. I'm right brained so I do suck at studying unless I'm on ratline. If someone tries to fuck with me my reaction is in the lines of...

I do enjoy making self depercating jokes as I don't take myself to seriously i.e
Friend: David you're uptight
I: Yeah I'm so uptight that if you where to put coal in my ass it would turn into diamonds
Friend: Laughs
My favorite things to do are party, smoke weed, educate and inspire others.
I love hearing the perspectives that other people have on subjects and challenging them to help build them up as individuals. I also have a strong bullshit indicator and I'm really good at bullshiting my way through assignments as I was able to get a 95 on my High School thesis, it was based on a Dr.Seuss book.

The Way I'm with the family:
With my brothers and sisters: We talk Politics or my future and why I'm doing what I'm doing what is my inspiration behind doing something and they don't allow me to simply say "because I feel like it" ( they are much older then I am, late 20's early 30's) My conversations with the parents revolve around ideals. I love spending time with my nephews and nieces from telling them funny made up stories with potty humor, talking about their crushes and other things going on in their lives or simply playing lava, ball, legos, reading books, dancing etc.

[MENTION=20474]OptoGypsy[/MENTION]

Motivations are akin to Type 3 and Type 9

Fear is akin to Type 8.

Do you want to have the whole world's eyes on you when you are achieving success or do you want to be successful in your own eyes?

I go for success in my own eyes, I don't care how others view me since confidence is the biggest player in if a person respects another person

 

[Alea_iacta_est]

I go for success in my own eyes, I don't care how others see me since confidence is the biggest player in if a person respects another person

I think you are more type 8 than type 3, especially with emphasis on confidence.

That would suggest a core type 8w9, but that seems a bit off-putting of your own character that I've seen on this forum, which I was mostly sure matched closer to a 7w8. Unless you mask as I do.

By the way, put these in order of what you feel you are better at:

I'm good at being apart of groups, engaging many people at once, and will stand up for my group.
I'm good at keeping my own needs and desires over others, I'm very careful and cautious to protect myself. Self-oriented.
I'm good at talking to people one-on-one. I make intense connections with people and can form friendships with people fast one-on-one.

 

[OptoGypsy]

Now that I think about it I don't care if I become famous, successful or admired, the only reason I would want that is to get into the bigger parties in life and have easier ways to get to drugs. My biggest motivations in life is to change the system to help benefit the hard working busy class of America.

Hmmm, a thought. Do you want drugs so that you can dull your senses or do you indulge in drugs because they make you feel good?

If these 3 fairly shitty descriptions are anywhere near accurate, then this suggests so/sp/sx instinct.

Does this description sound anything close to who you are? Look at this objectively, don't idealize traits you don't possess.

[hidden] are very self reliant. They are frequently entrepreneurial; the self-preservational instinct combines with the social to make a subtype that is very focused on the external environment. [hidden] are the least dramatic of type [hidden]. They are “no nonsense” types. They can be introverted, especially when the [hidden] wing is dominant. But, even though they are often quiet, they are very much in control of themselves and their direction in life. On the high side, they make great business owners. They show a sense of fairness and have an instinctual drive to do what needs to be done. They know how to make decisions and aren’t afraid to implement them. Because the [hidden] instinct is last, they can sometimes be seen as difficult to warm up to. They can be seen as “all business.”

This type has a tendency to see relationships as somehow “getting in the way.” While they may desire a close romantic relationship, they don’t want it if it is at the expense of their self-pres needs. They can appear [hidden] in this way, as they are concerned about the demands a relationship might make on their time.

This suggests more Type 9 influence.

 

[OptoGypsy]

This suggests more Type 9 influence.

Senses as in hallucinations because I get bored of the real world, not for stress reasons, the question confused me in that they can both be linked with stress depending on the context that it is put in. So I don't do drugs for stress reasons I do it because I easily get bored with what my eyes see and what I experience on a day to day basis

From what people have told me they see me as the really chill guy that doesn't have any worries and comes up with the funniest things when people least expect it.

Shit is being poured down from the 20% asses to the 80% and for some fucked up reason they want "the idiots who can't think for themselves" to consume it like it was a chocolate waterfall. I'm all business in that I do have goals in life and I will do my best to accomplish these goals but not because I feel obliged to do it but because I find the accomplishing of objectives to be entertaining.

Yeah my view on that is behind every great man is a great woman and behind every great woman is a... Brainy is the new Sexy.

Well that's a popular 8w9 sp/so description. Would you say that this is you, similar, or not at all?

 

[OptoGypsy]

Well that's a popular 8w9 sp/so description. Would you say that this is you, similar, or not at all?

Did I sound like an 8/9 sp/so I honestly think I have 7 in me as I didn't create a fake personality, I got 8w9, 9w8 on the test which confused me it's why I created the thread. Sp/So are serious and reserved, i'm not serious. I'm reserved in that I don't like getting emotional or sentimental. I make penis blow faces during class and scream out west side while making gang signs as I create a joke out of something serious in class and in the end I say something deep and come out impressing the class and the professor. My Sociology Professor told the class that if we where to have a party at his house he would keep his eyes on me as I was the one who would spike the punch.

I'm not entirely sure if you know that the Enneagram does have a tritype system, and that you can have both 7 and 8 in your trifix.

In the case of an 8w9 - 7w8 - ?w? (probably 3w2, doubt you're anywhere near 4, but I could be wrong), the 8 core type is enhanced by the 7w8 to create a more fun-loving 8, one that isn't as strict but is still very guarded and assertive. (BTW, if you didn't know, trifixes can only contain a gut fix, a heart fix, and a head fix, so if your 8w9 is more dominant than 9w8, then 8w9 is your gut fix)

Alright. Let's break this down completely. Doing hilarious things, while very funny and 7-ish, is still not particularly indicative of any type, but I will say that you seem id type driven (types 3,7,8).

Type 7 - flighty, anxious-nervous energy, running to the outside world out of fear of boredom/non-indulgence, needs new experiences.
Type 8 - controlled, confident energy, protecting inner world (some refer to it as "the inner child"), needs independence.

Compare -
Both 8 and 7 are extroverted, they are id types driven by impulses in the unconscious, they aren't very intellectual (as in the stereotype of the book nerd sitting in a library silently devouring 30 encyclopedias, 7 and 8s are often very intelligent).

Contrast -
8 disintegration to 5, when you are extremely stressed past your breaking point, if you are an 8, you will see yourself acting like a 5. You will withdraw from the world around you and become highly antagonistic to anyone who dares try and "manipulate" you. Direct explicitness to assure independence (whether it be verbal or physically violent).

7 disintegration to 1, when you are extremely stressed past your breaking point, you become highly impulsive and attempt to over-indulge in experiences to give you the characteristic energy rush of the 7's stimulation being met. Unhealthy 7's don't feel satiated by their experiences because they are often ridiculous and gained at great lengths. You also become highly critical of other people, pointing out there flaws and shortcomings to their face.

So one from 1,2,3,4 one from 5,6,7 and one from 8,9. 8-7-2 or 7-8-2?

 

[Alea_iacta_est]

So one from 1,2,3,4 one from 5,6,7 and one from 8,9. I'd with 8-7-3

Actually it's one from 2,3,4 (heart fix/shame), one from 5,6,7 (head fix/anxiety), and one from 8,9,1 (gut fix/anger)

8-7-2

278– The Free Spirit but they also identify with Humanitarian Archetype

827 Caring and innovative 8. Most people-oriented 8. Likes to be in relationship. Gentle and helpful, especially with 9 wing.

278 tritype, that personifies the outgoing, helpful and confident nature of that lively archetype.

(2)-7-8 - The Aggressive 2
2-(7)-8 - The Power-Seeking 7
2-7-(8) - The Positive 8

Very hardy individual and other-focused. Fun, charming, and sexual.

278 is the most enthusiastic, joyful. positive and exuberant tritype. They are people focused and aim to please. They must help like the 126 but are their own authority and follow their own muse like the 478. They are gregarious and funny.

278, 782, 827 - The Free Spirit: You like to use your charming, sunny disposition to create an upbeat, positive, and action-packed environment. You are also very nurturing to those in your circle of care. Your life mission is to be an instrument of change, transforming difficult situations into moments of inspiration. A true free spirit, you are happiest when you are on the go and helping others to learn to act on their own behalf. Your blind spot is that you can be so focused on keeping everything positive and honest that you can be too aggressive and fail to recognize the importance of difficult emtions. You also keep busy and in motion to avoid painful feelings. Your growing edge is to recognize that you need to always be postivie, upbeat, and free can limit your ability to self reflect and fully be yourself. True happiness and joy come from being present to your higher self and experiencing all of your emotions.

eight with a two fix: the overtly magnanimous and big hearted eight. sacrificial-dominant
style of relating to others; as protector, big spender, mama-bear
quality.

87?: Focused, intuitive, and innovative. Most assertive and noncomforming 8. Moody, intense, eccentric, entrepreneurial 8 especially if sx.

The 827 is extremely positive, upbeat and helpful. They take charge but do so with a light touch that is sensitive to the needs of others. They are often humanitarians that focus on manifesting their vision..... Excess meets gluttony and pride... When the core fears of these three types unite it can create a defense strategy that is quite compassionate but can also struggle with issues of arrogance and/or pride about what they do.

*Most freedom loving-827, 278, 728

8-7-3

378 – The Mover & Shaker Archetype

The 837 is the slick, expansive, powerhouse, 'can do' person that sees the big picture but avoids feelings, seeing them as speed bumps that get in the way of manifesting and making things happen.

*Most assertive tritype-378, 873, 783

378,837,738 If you are the 378, you are ambitious, innovative and protective. You want to be efficient, happy and straight-forward. You are a dynamic go-getter, focused on the prize. An expansive powerhouse, you see the big picture and a positive future with the will to make it happen. Seeking success, obstacles are seen as competitive challenges. Your life mission is to see what is possible and find innovative ways to achieve your goals. A true mover and shaker, you are happiest when you are in a position of power to manifest your vision and make things happen. You need to be doing to feel alive. You can be so expeditious, assertive and results oriented that you miss your impact on others and the deeper meaning and significance of why you are doing what you are doing.

387...assertives

You have all three Expansive Solution Enneacards (3, 7 & 8)
Naturally forward and expansive, you see yourself as assertive, self-motivated, expeditious and results oriented. Focused on action, you resist being controlled and letting your feelings get in the way of achieving your goals. When opposed, you react immediately and when necessary are not afraid to move against others to manage problems.

the sexual 378 is triple assertive and has the added jolt of the high intensity sexual energy. 378 is self assured, innovative and bold, there will be more of a focus on being strong and attractive compared to other instincts. The 379 is a bit softer and more adept at softening their presentation. We always refer to the 379 is the "cool guy" or "cool girl" tritype as they want to be trendy and cool but also blend. The 378 may be more outlandish so pays less attention to being cool and more attention to being the trailblazer.
Well if you lead with the 7 instead of 3 you will be less concerned with image and be less likely to track what others want you to be as the 7 is more concerned with following their own muse. However with the sexual subtype in charge both the 378 and the 738 will want to be alluring to potential intimates and mates and have a desire to find a mate who can handle their triple assertive energy.

a 379 would be a more reflective and considerate but also more indecisive and chameleon-like (and somewhat more withdrawn, at times) version of a 378.

And 379/793 would differ from the 378 in that 379 would be more diplomatic and conflict-avoidant than the 378.

3-7-8 - The Extrovert

This type is very outward focused. They must keep themselves involved with the external world in order to be relieve of stress and tension. Being alone and inactive causes anxiety.

eight with a three fix: the notably success oriented, prominence seeking eight. utilizes
image and manipulation to advance their career or enterprise.
business achievement can lead to political aspirations.

783: Direct and focused 7. Most assertive 7. Are usually movers and shakers and rainbow makers. Professional 7.

837: Focused and innovative. Most assertive 8. Mover and shaker, especially if extroverted and/or soc. subtype. Entrepreneurs.

87?: Focused, intuitive, and innovative. Most assertive and noncomforming 8. Moody, intense, eccentric, entrepreneurial 8 especially if sx.

Both Tritypes are Movers and Shakers. They both want to win and have power but in a different way. The 387 is focused on achieving success, especially success in the eyes of others. The attention goes to identifying the role needed to make the achievements that are viewed as successful. With success comes power. The 837 is more focused on overcoming obstacles and succeeding in spite of the obstacles...they never give up. The 837 is less focused on the role and more focused on the position of power. With power comes success. The 837 wants to be seen as successful but wants autonomy more and are not dependent on other's view of them.
With the 738 the focus moves to the heat and the creative, vision, future ideal, what is possible and entertaining ways to succeed in a big way. They imagine, produce and manifest
