I took the free test, and my top results were Six than Nine. Security or peace or success (3)? Hard to choose for me. (Liked the way they presented the test; very unique and useful).
Thanks for the links.
I am probably less self-aware than I think I am (I always think I am hyperaware but am beginning to discover that that's not true.). I've had people pulling me different ways, telling me what careers I should pursue, all in opposition of what I want, and it created a lot of doubt in me. I was beginning to think that the one thing that was mine was wrong--maybe I shouldn't trust myself after all? I'm trying to pinpoint my main source of confusion, however, and it doesn't have to do with being highly adaptable. I'm confused when... I'm out of the loop of something that occurred when I was gone, and I feel like people are keeping something from me, and then I get kind of passive aggressive to get someone to spill the beans. As a child (if they're talking elementary age) I remember trying to connect with as many people as possible (in an off putting way), correcting my teachers and then isolating myself. In middle school I was focused on my schoolwork. That's all I did, because I never saw why friends were necessary. Now I'm all over the place. I think my middle school attitude fits a lot with the Three description.
I'm usually indecisive because of my fear. When someone presents a huge opportunity to me, I immediately look to what could happen and what appears in my mind pushes me to want to say 'nah, no thanks' but I say 'yes' without thinking and then I start distracting myself to take away from the anxiety, maybe I'll post about my dilemma online somewhere, just to distract me. When the day comes that I have to do it, I'll just try avoiding it as much as possible.
I think I'm leaning toward 3w2 for now, but I started watching the video linked a few posts ago and I really related to the woman talking about herself being a Type One. The difference between me and her is that she probably thinks about being right everywhere she goes, while for me it's just something I go through in my head if I'm in a bad mood. I go out, try to stay away from as much people as possible, and get my work done.
Actually (though it realize you were talking about 3) everything bolded above feels pretty 6. Letting others lead you to doubt yourself, trust/mistrust/suspicion themes in general. Confusion, tendency to jump back and forth-- that's very 6. I have 6 friends who agree that when they are not with friends, they wonder if those friends are hanging out without them. The correcting your teachers bit could be 6 as we'll because the Loyalist has an authority thing. They both obey blindly (like your letting people tell you what careers to pursue) and question/rebel against-- back and forth, duality is huge with 6.
I suggest you read this description, and this one too.
This, of course, is also very 6. Fear is the Passion of 6, your anxiety and worst case scenario way of thinking fits that to a tee. I'll be interested in what you have to say after reading the above links.
[MENTION=8936]highlander[/MENTION] Just for some check and balance and because you are a 6, and agreed that she could be a 6 (as did the test results): What's your take on the above sentiments and my reading them as the Loyalist?
