...but I won't say anything about that, I don't want to influence anyone with my views on my possible types.
I saw [MENTION=20385]Alea_iacta_est[/MENTION]'s cool quick questionnaire so I'll use that first:
A) Which of these do you consider your biggest fear?
1. Being cut off (from everything)
2. Being held back from doing something, no freedom
3. Being betrayed by those you trust
4. Being emotionally vulnerable (or physically)
5. Being insignificant and ordinary
6. Being incapable, mentally or physically
7. Being unimportant, being worthless
8. Being unloved
9. Being imperfect, flawed or corrupt
--> I can relate to: 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
--> I totally do not relate to: 9
I don't know what "being cut off" means, though. What does it mean exactly?
B) Which of these do you want the most?
1. To be valuable and important
2. To feel appreciated and loved
3. To be unique and individual
4. To be ethical and have integrity
5. To be supported and guided
6. To be in a peaceful frame of mind and life
7. To be protected
8. To be competent and capable
9. To be content and happy with what you have
--> I can relate to: 1, 2, 3, 8
--> I totally do not relate to: 4, 5, 6
A note here, 9th one is something I should be doing probably, I just don't feel the burning desire in me to be like that so I didn't put it into the "relate" list. Probably because I sure am not content with what I have as I am looking at what I don't have (yet).
Well, looking at my replies, that didn't narrow down options too much... :/
OK a bit more info on me. I usually find myself doing two kinds of activities, either just being involved with whatever I enjoy doing atm or I'm doing something to get/acquire something/object/goal/challenge. I enjoy both.
I do the former because otherwise I would be bored, I do the latter because challenges make me feel alive and/or because I just want to have the whatever thing. I like focused tunnel vision, I can be acting pretty controlled then. Both ways of living can be pretty impulsive otherwise.
The "involved mode", it often includes talking to people, this is just for the interaction itself. I can spend a lot of time on this, too much time. The "challenge/get stuff" mode, that usually doesn't involve people much, at best they are objects in the way. Well or objects to interact with for a reason. I can be a real loner.
If I'm not involved and I'm not into challenge and/or into getting something, I guess it's just a pretty low energy mode, I'll just stare outside my head looking at stuff, perhaps have some thoughts here and there, no continuously flowing train of thought though. I can enjoy looking at stuff for a short time, otherwise this isn't my preferred way of being.
Hmm I also have a "wandering" instinctual mode where I go around, usually alone. Yep again being a loner with that. (If there was someone else with me, they'd have to be following me, not the other way around.) I enjoy this, so list it with preferred ways.
I guess most things about me fit into these categories.
What does that do in terms of Enneagram type? Also, instinctual subtype? Anyone please? Thanks!
