Enneagram Mottos

[Hypatia]

Enneagram descriptions perpetuate false stereotypes, and given the importance of motivation in defining our purpose, I propose mottos as a method of clarification. Let's see where this goes.

Eg'd as a 3w4, I see myself as driven by curiosity about and confidence in my ability to bring to life my ideal self.

6: Prepare for trouble.
8: Make it double.
1: To protect the world from devastation.
2: To unite all people within our nation.
4: To denounce the evils of truth and love.
7: To extend our reach to the stars above.

And that is why Pokemon has children for its target audience.

 

[HongDou]

At least the children who watch it aren't lame.

9 - Do I have to?

 

[Stansmith]

The real measure of a man's wealth is what he has invested in eternity.

I just wanted thoughtful or creative answers to my proposal, not more of the same. I know you can do better.

 

[HongDou]

Let people have fun with it dude. Summing up an e-type in just one motto isn't going to totally clear up confusion about all of them since they're so complex. Although after being best friends with an ISFP 9w1 for 8 years I can say this one is about right:

9 - Do I have to?

Either that or

9 - /incomprehensible groaning noises

I'll come back with more thought-out ones later.

1- I've seen perfection and I am going to show it to you all.
2- I love and care about everyone, I wish others would feel the same about me.
3- I can do better!
4- I won't pretend, I am uniqe and true...wait who am I?
5- I will know everything!
6- But...what if?
7- I will enjoy everything!
8- I'll take care of everything.
9- Just a second...I promise I'll do it, but why should I hurry?

This sounded a lot more elegant in my head. Caricatures leave me hungry. [MENTION=18664]Stansmith[/MENTION] gave more along the lines of what I was looking for; I assume it's applied to 6w7.

7: YOLO

ha ha ha

 

[HongDou]

7: YOLO

ha ha ha

and ironically drake isn't even a 7

 

[cafe]

I really do associate the Possum Lodge's Mens' Prayer with my enneagram type.

 

[Stansmith]

and ironically drake isn't even a 7

He's a 3w2 capitalizing off of a niche demographic.

9 - Do I have to?

9w8 - You can do it.

7: Life's a garden. Dig it.

 

[Avocado]

7: Life's a garden. Dig it.

I like it…

 

[mcgooglian]

7: Life's a garden. Dig it.

Also: keep on keepin' on.

[MENTION=14840]palm[/MENTION]... it's sort of funny... of course a 3w4 would want elegant answers... and of course a 7 would be playful and light-hearted about it...

I did like [MENTION=18664]Stansmith[/MENTION]'s a lot. I see 6w7 as mindfully crafting a pleasing and meaningful life with the raw materials the universe gives me.

In practice it comes out about 80% "I've got this all planned out" and 20% YOLO.

4w5: Nothing I put out in the world will ever compare to how it is in my head.
