What type is Zarathustra? :)

[SillySapienne]

Raga, there's nothing I can't stand more than a ridiculously rich Christian, Jesus followers my asshole.

And, Zara, I disagree, I think that cockiness and confidence are easily and objectively exhibited and observed.

Cockiness is aggressive, it needs to prove itself, its superiority, it's overly compensatory.

Confidence is silent and sound, assertive when need be, it knows and it shows, rather than one who is cocky who does not know but needs to show that that he does not know.

Whether I'm a type 8 or 6, you can still use enneagram.

If I'm a 6, then I enjoy debate in order to construct a stable, solid meaning, or truth.

I would say that this is really more the case than the competition angle of an 8...

6 is plausible, actually, although your tendency to be argumentative gives you a lot of external characterisics of an 8. (No-one usually has a clue what my own enneagram type is, until they know, then it's obvious to them and they can easily pick out the signs!) 6s seem to be commoner Irl than on the forum, where they're rather rare. I know several Irl, but they're not particularly intellectual, so an intellectual 6 would be a very different proposition. It certainly makes for assertiveness when defending your views if it's something you feel strongly about, so that fits.

How important are relationships to you then? Romantic and friendship?

Both very important.

Not in a needy kinda way.

But in an idealistic kinda way.

*thunder crashing*

"Thus spoke Zara..."

Just being silent, sound and assertive.

You know: confident.

I'll leave the peacocking to you.

How would it be to be, let's say, submerged in a personal relationship (of any kind, though I suppose I mean romantic more), something you felt you could never really get out of?

 

[PeaceBaby]

How far apart do you two live? Are you arguing in the same physical location?

Wait, I iz confuzid, so you are saying that platonic and romantic relationships are important to you in an idealistic kinda way?

That doesn't make sense.

So in a perfect world they'd be very important to you?

No, but we do do that at times.

 

[PeaceBaby]

Yes, I can visualize it in my mind.

Seriously?

Are you even jesting that I'm being/acting cocky in this thread?

We live together, but I'm currently at work and I'm a live in caregiver.

And, we weren't arguing until this last post he just made.

No, in that I have an idealistic view of both friendship and romance.

Jag is back?!?

That was something of a disambiguation question... If the idea of being somehow smothered or controlled by a relationship scares you, you do sound more like an 8... If your answer was wholly serious that is!

 

[PeaceBaby]

It's been ramping up.

Sending lots of hugs to defuse this awkward moment ...

And to be distracting ...

So Z, if I still say you are ENTJ, how would you refute this?

I would say I don't really need to, cuz I know I'm not.

I'm going to bed. G'nite, y'all!

 

[ragashree]

This was perhaps a bad time to ask questions regarding personal relationships, erm...

*sidles off into shadows*

You rang?
